cause enough Republican Senators to
prevent adoption Of any treaty have
pledged themselves against a League of
Nations, as at present outlined.
President Wilson leaves for France
this morning with his present plans
repudiated by more than one-third of
the new Senate! His status before the
other authorized spokesman of nations
assembled at the Quaid'Orsay or, later,
at Versailles, will suffer change. Only
strong personality will enable him to
regain and to maintain the place he had
pre-empted before leaving for the Unit
ed States.
Will he succeed?
He cannot play the Talleyrand game
because he is a sworn foe to secrecy.
He cannot ISLAM THINGS" like q Bis

VI neither the production OF power in

about an hour, mornings and after

Bryan said the cost would be about

United Railway gets power cheaper
than the street railways Of Boston,
Kansas City, Chicago and Milwaukee.
The cost of power to Boston in
1909, according to the exhibit, was III
cents per dlowatt hour; to United
Railways 1.O9 cents. In 1913 Boston's
cost was 1.57 cents and the United
Railways. LOT cents.
Kansas City street railway paid 81
cents Per kilowat hour in 1909; the
United Railways, Loo. The cost to
Kansas City was 1.s3 in 1918 and to
United Railways LOT. according to
the exhibit.
The exhibit showed that power to
other cities ranged between 1.63 cents
per kilowatt for generated power to
.G25 for purchased power, the low
figure being at Milwaukee.
Bryan explained that his tables OF
comparison between 1908 and 1918 and
Intervening years, which showed up

powers obtained under the contracts,
were made In the light Of actual costs

had made of the old Hindenburg Line,
