SENATE NOT MAKING
PROGRESS ON TREATY
There Is Much Debate on Nearly
Everything Except The Peace

Everything Except The Peace
Treaty.
Washington Sept. 29-Not one pass
ing reference was made in the long
peace treaty debate in the Senate to
day of the thirty odd Fall amend
ments, which Vice President Marshall
had ruled would be the special and
continuing order of business.
The discussion embraced almost
every other point Ii covered all the
ground from Omaha, Neb., to Persia,
and Vice President Marshalps predic
ton that the Senate, once it took mp
the amendments, would discuss every
thing else under the sun, was abun-
dainty fulfilled. The discussion center
ed about speeches by Senator BOrah
Republican, of Idaho, and Senator vii
liams, Democrat of Mississippi, both
OF whom distressed to touch upon re.
cent evidences of mob rule.
There were no other speeches, but
late in the day there was more or
less Of a general debate, with half
dozen Senators trying TO speak al
once and persisting in their efforts to
such an extent that the vice president
raped sharply for order, declared the
proceedings were degenerating into a
chorus
The Fall amendments, introduced
by the Republican senator from New
Mexico and designed TO relieve the
United States from repre- sentation on
commissions created under the treaty
of peace with Germany must come
mp for a vote sooner or later There
have been promises that a vote on
their adoption or rejection would b,
taken this week, but tonight Demo
cratic and Republican leaders frankly
confessed that they had stopped max
ing predictions. Almost enough
speeches have been scheduled for the
week to take up at least half of the
Senate's working time on the treaty

water, apply and let remain on the
hairy surface for or minutes, then
rub off, wash the skin and the hairs

quite harmless and rarely more than
one application is required, bLC to

DEMANDS
MORE TERRITORY

PARIS, Feb. 13.-Belgium's appeal
to the supreme council OF the peace
conference for aid to enable her to
become self-supporting again, says a
speciaI copyrighted wireless dispatch
TO the New York Sun today, will be
revelation to the many Americans
who for four years have helped to
feed and clothe the Belgians, and
perhaps now have the idea that Bel
gium freed has become automatically
her old self, an energetic, thrifty hu-
man hive.
BeIgium's demand for additional
territory, including the duchy of
LuKenburg and some small portions
of Holland, is dictated solely by
desire to make her frontiers safe.
She maintains that the German vio-
lation of Belgium has shown clearly
the futility of treaties guaranteeing
neutrality, and she must have a
strong frontier in the future. This
does not indicate an abiding faith in
the suffciency of the league Of ma
tions. but il is the idea prevalent in
Belgium today.
In Desperate Plight.
The truth is. as stated by the Bel
gian delegates, and amply backed up
by reports received from Hoover's in
vestigators and officers of the Ninety
first and Thirty-seventh divisions and
the artiIlerymen Of the Twentieth di-
vision, who helped to reconqUer west
ern Belgium and finally marched into
Brussels, Belgium, is in desperate
plight in two ways, economically and
as regards morale.
Germans ruined her famous fac
tories, which were the lifeblood Of Che
nation. Before the war Belgium serv-
ed as an outlet for German trade,
which now is Unwelcome, while che
trade of Alsace-Lorraine now will go
through France. Belgium is devoid Of
raw materials, except coal, and does
not produce food enough for her pep
pie.
Worked as slaves.
-Four years Of German rule has de-
moralized many Of the Belgian people.
Forced to work for taskmasters with
out reaping the fruit of their own la
Dor, abused, oppressed, and depend
ent upon charity, they have lost The
keen edge of energy and initiative
which they had when working 3or
themselves and are experiencing the
relaxation that was inevitable, once
the tension was ended. Their nerves
are exhausted and they want rest,
which is hardly conducive to promp;
reconstruction.

Editorial

There are times in the lives Of
all of us-nO difference how
old-when we would give
most anything to run to our
mothers with our troubles
just as we used to do when
we stumped a toe.
Nobody can give quite the
comfort and ease to a hurt
that she can.
She understands. She knows
how we feel even before we
tell her our troubles. If we
only could have ALWAYS
the sympathy and help of a
mother.
We used to know a business
man who said, "When things
get to going too fast for me
and begin to lose my grip,
! just pack my suit case and
run home for a few days.
Mother tucks me in bed as
she did in my boyhood. A
few days Of BEING a KID
and / come back to my
business feeling like a new
man."
Many a vacation would be
more profitable if spent un-
der mothers guidance.
