to be generally agreed upon az nee
essary. And if the Senate majority
can satisfy itself that the United
States is made safe on every point
! and that the limitations it imposes
are known and accepted by all the
high contracting parties, it will vote
for the treaty with those conditions

The simplest and best method of
procedure that has been suggested
is that outlined by Senator Knox.
He proposes the separation of the
league covenant from the other por-
ton of the treaty, in order that the
Senate may Immediately cooperate
with all the powers in restoring
peace with Germany. without the
delay that will be required for ad-
lusting the United States to the
league of nations. That ispractical
and expeditions and helps to clarity
opinion on both the peace treaty
and the league, 1t is pity that
Senator Knox's proposal is not ac-
ceptable to both sides, for the prob
ability is that much greater delay
will ensue under any other plan.
Delay, however. is not the main
cause OF anxiety to the majority of
Americans who are turning their at

will never be any doubt in this

the treaty or the league.
The conference between the Pres

has also revealed the fact that Pres

New German Drying Process.

The so-called Krayseska method, a new means of drying eggs, fruit juice and blood, has been demonstrated be- fore the food authorities in Berlin and found worth exploiting to large ex- tent The drying is done in large iron cylinder five meters in diameter, in which q pair of big metal wings are quickly rotating. driven by a steam turbine. The fluid is fashed to foam and dried by the aid of hot current of air that is continually passed through the cylinder. The dried prod uct is in the form of a powder, which will keep for long time and can be most economically transported. The dried products go through no chemical process and are directly soluble in wa ter. Drying plants of this type for treating about 10000 eggs day will be erected shortly in Berlin and Bucharest.
