NEWSPAPER MEN
 GET 5-DAY WEEK
Northcliffe Introduces New Plan for Three of His Dailies in
 London
By As.oeIat,d Pms,

London, July H.-All the regular editors, special writers and reporters of The Times, Daily Mail and Evening News are to have two days each week for rest or recreation under the 'five-day working week" which Viscount Northcliffe is in- troducing in his newspaper properties.
 The writing staffs of The Times and Daily Mail already have been reorganized on this basis and the system is to pe extended to The News
 The same system is to be arranged in the near future for all others on these papers including all members of the busi- ness staffs. the printing and mechanical forces. This is not possible at present on account of the scarcity of skilled labor.
 Lord Northcliffe's view is that all men, especially those engaged in brain work, attain their highest efficiency by this division of work and recreation and Dy a complete change at these regular and frequent intervals.
 The chief rival of Lord Northclifre in adherence to the theory of short hours and better work is the great soap mag nate, Lord Leverhulme, formerly Will liam Lever. His ambition is to have working day of six hours for all his thou sands of employees, and he has even hinted at a four-hour day as possibility of the future.

WILSON EXPECTED
 TOMAKE STATEMENT ON RESERVATIONS ID THE PEACE TREATY
Leaders Differ as to Course the President Will Follow. Republicans Promise to Support Certain In-
 terpretations
By Assoerated Press


 Washington, July 26.-The next impor- tant move in the senate disagreement over reservations to the peace treaty is ex- pected to come from President Wilson.
 Having canvassed the Senate situation in his conferences with fifteen republ- can senators, all of whom are said to have told him they would support certain reservations, it is expected the President soon will make known definitely this at titude toward such a course. It was in dicated at the White House today that expression of his views on the subject might not await his speaking tour to be- gin two weeks hence, but might be em- bodied in a public statement within the next few days.
 This aroused great interest among republican senators, though they said 1t was not unexpected. Several republicans have told MT. Wilson the treaty never could be ratified without interpretative qualifications, and yesterday at the sug- gestion, it is understood, of Republican q leader Lodge, a tentative draft of reserva- stions indicating in general way the trend of opinion among many republican senators was laid before the President by ss Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri The leaders for reservations say it IS now the Presidents move
 S The group of republicans, who, under ssthe lead of Senator McCumber Eortt. Dakota, and McNary, Oregon. are work ing on a reservation programme designed Ito clarify the league of nations covenant without vitally weakening it, believes the President will announce his acceptance ot Lit and that quick ratification of the treaty will ensue. In their talks with Mir. Will son, they say, he has indicated no .rad.- cal antagonism to Senate qualifications. -his only fear being that the whole sub- ject might be thrown back into re-nego- tiation.
 E The Presidents democratic supporters in the Senate, however, are not in ac- cord with this view and predict that he will assert himself for unreserved ratit- cation and then go to the country in ao effort to fortify public sentiment behind -5that stand.
 < The President saw no republican sena- tors Monday, but in a letter to M-. Lodge replied to inquiries about the treaty sent ito the White House by the foreign rela- ations committee. He wrote that so far as he knew. no decision had been reach ed for division of Germanys indemnity payments under the treaty's provisions 2 that it shall be allowed among her

ELEPHANTS
 MAY ALL BE KILLED
By Associated Pres,

London, July 25.-The life of the famous African elephant seems to be in danger for the South African Cape Provincial council proposes to exterminate those ia the Addo Bush forest, near Port Eliza beth.
 For generations past these animals have been a great nuisance to the farmers They have damaged crops and killed sev- eral persons.
 The African elephants is noted for it's laziness, quite the reverse to it's Indian relative who when called upon cheerfully and easily shoulders a burden of ton or so. However, an effort is to be made to train the young ones for log-haulinc in the Cape forests.
 The rounding up of the animals has in- volved the erection of a number of lofty observation towers and so large are the numbers to be killed that the shooting of the animals will take over six months The natives enjoy elephants meat ano the prospect of an unlimited supply for several months is being eagerly looked forward to.
 The provincial councils announcement has caused keen regret among naturalsts some of whom say that should the threat be carried into effect the elephant, like the mastodon and the ichthyosaurus may become extinct.

FRENCH BRIDES
 KEPT IN CAMP
By Associated Pre.s

By Associated Press
 St. Nazaire, France, June 19.-French brides of American soldiers on their way from France to their new homes in America are entertained in the hostess house here until they and their husbands are ready to go on board a steamer.
 Thus far, S1 of these newly-made Amer ican wives have been taken care of in this temporary home for brides. The work of caring for them is con- ducted by the Young Women's Christian association with five workers under the charge of Miss Mary Fay. The house
 was opened May 1, and is located in a grove of trees outside the limits of the mems camp.
 been more than 20 miles from their homes
 before, are met at the station with an automobile and taken to the hostess house, where they are given a thorough physical inspection, teeth examined and any necessary work to be done on them
 is here done. After this they are given the opportunity to bathe, change their clothing and are assigned a bed in one of the spick and span dormatories. Their life from then on until the time they board the boat is chiefly occupied in learning the English language, sewing and exercises and recreations of various kinds in the mornings and with their husbands in the afternoons
 Ten days is the average time each girl spends in this camp. From it she is taken directly to the boat, where she again meets her husband, he having been transferred from his organization to a casual company so that they can take the same boat back. That the govern ment is doing everything in it's power to make their life while still in the army happy one is very evident
 month ago it was estimated that ac- commodations for 5 would be ample for this camp That was less than a month ago. Today there are accommodations for 120 and more barracks are being built The Fifteenth cavalry alone brought 51 newly married men and their wives. And now that the service of supply troops are going through here fast, it is sus- pected that the hostess house may be swamped, for these troops, unlike the combat troops have been stationed in one place most of their time over here, and have had the opportunity to win and wed some dainty French girl.

 Article 237 of the peace treaty stipulates that the successive installments "in pro portions which have been determined up- on by them in advance on basis of gen. eral equity and of the rights of earth, ' and Senator Lodge wrote to inquire whether the basis of divisions had been determined upon.
 The presidents letter to Mir. Lodge said:

I would say that so far as I know such an agreement has not yet been reached As recollect the business, an attempt was being made to reach such an agreement. but I have not yet learned of an agreement having been arrived at.
 May I not add, with regard to the other request which I have received from the committee for papers and in formation of various sorts. that was not able to bring from Paris complete file of papers.
