President Marshall In Strengthening
out the parliamentary tangle into
which the treaty was forced after
Senator Lodges motion to submit
the committee reservations was
made.
The contention made by Senator
Lodge was that the reservations
must be presented first and that ar
ter these had been discussed and
agreed upon then the resolution.

This view was opposed by Senator
Underwood, who assumed the lead

wood commended that 1t was not in
order to offer the reservations un-
til the resolution of ratification had

these different points of view CON
surnci three hours and was finally
settled by the vice president sus-
tanning the contention of Senator
Lodge and directing him to present
the committee reservations for
action first.
CONSTRUCTION OF RULES
Tho vice presidept pointed out
that he would decline to construe
the rules technically and said that
the Importance of the subject made
it incumbent upon him to place
liberal construction on the rules, SO
that all senator's would have n
chance TO express their views as to
amendments and reservations.
Otherwise he said. senators might

called upon to vote for a resolution
of ratification which does not fully
meet the views unor the question.
Senator Swanson, on behalf Of the
ADMINISTRATION forces fought hard
to got from Senator Lodge an ad-
mission that II the resolution Of!
containing the ajoritv
reservations failed to receive the
necessary two-thirdS vote, the treaty
would still be alive and before the
senate SO that the administration

THE KAISER IS UNIMPORTANT

About the most unimportant thing in the worlC today IS the Kaiser. Whether he is tried and con Vlcted, or tried and acquitted, tried at all makes little difference. The average man will tel you that he ought to be and shot and thai may be his ultimate end. But the truth is he is ar unimportant thing in the busy world, at this time His death at the hands of justice could not bring us greater happiness although it might bring us {; measure ot satisfaction. His continued living car not affect the progress of the world
 We have always laid much stress upon indi- Viduais We have thought too much of men, Tn, oi creation, miserable unit that amounts to noth ing whatsoever He can do no harm-no more thar he has already done-and he do no good Taknc him out and shooting him would afford only q day, interest in the dispatches could not affect any. thing.
 As for the late Crown Prince, he is even les important than his father. He was born almost ar imbecile. and he isn't responsible that He never did anything while he was enjoying liberty; he had no capacity for doing good evil-a nonenitv Sc it makes no difference about him. either It might be well to rid the world of two such useless char acters the Kaiser and his son-the one because of what he did in trying wreck the world and the other simply to get him of the way of busy people and to save that much food for a more cana ble man. But it really makes difference one way or the other, what becomes of the Kaiser or tho Crown Prince

A TEN MILLION DOLLAR LETTER

Finder the above head and in speaking of u allure by Congress to pass the desired appropriate or continuing construction of the Government raj ,oad in Alaska the Fairbanks Citizen says:
 "The project was dragged into the poli tcal arena by James Wickersham when he made his infamous attack upon Secretary Lane in connection with the management of the affairs of the Alaska railroad From being the first big railroad construction work undertaken by the United States Government, it became means by which the Republican party will seek to convict the Democratic administration of gross mis- l management, waste of Government funds and incompetency And that Wickersham and his Republican sponsors deliberately planned this hardly be doubted by any who will give the matter proper sideration
 For the sake of economy Congress re- fuses grant more than sufficient funds keep the work barely moving. There is no foundation for the contention that which is contained alone in the Wicker sham letter to MT. Lane Other and com petent critics men who high in the ranks of railway construction engineers such Mir Wendt of the Erie system, have gone record with statements which flaty contradict those charges But pying the position Delegate from Alaska denounces the project. He makes such ex- travagant charges that those in charge of the work cannot get funds needed for eff fcient construction
 Alaska is the only loser by the action of MT. Wickersham. He has not hurt the Alaskan Engineering Commission nor MT Lane The members of the commission still draw their salaries and their jobs will continue longer than would otherwise have been the had the notorious letter not been written. Mr. Lane still holds office and retains charge of Alaskan affairs Eut ALASKA LOSES APPROXIMATELY TEN MILLION DOLLARS Again for purely poll tcal reasons has James Wickersham sacri- ficed the North and betrayed the trust of the people
