s. SENATORS
LINED UP TO
ALTERTREATY

President Wilson has been offered
HIST Of names Of thirty-five Senators
who have pledged themselves to re-
fuse ratification Of the peace treaty
unless reservations are made, IL is
learned. This is two more than the
number Of votes necessary to prevent
ratification without reservation.
The list, it was learned, was offered
TO the President as proof that the
Senate will not ratify the treaty un-
less reservations are made to certain
of its clauses.
He has been informed that IL he
doubted the situation as shown by
the list, he could call each OF the
Senators named. individually, AMI
verify IL 1t is not known whether
the Presidnt has availed himslf OF the
offer to scan the list Of thirty-five.
Call Pledge Binding.
This list is stated. on the authority
Of two leading anti-league Senators,
90 be composed of men who cannot be
moved by threat, cajolery, hattery or
baSkflre from their constituents" TO
take any other course.
The pledge is so definite and binding,
IL was stated, that the thirty-five will
retire from the Senate If necessary
rather than repudiate it
This development closely followed
an intimation from the White House
that the President is greatly pleased
with his talks with Republican Sena-
tors, and believes his conferences are
clearing up the situation.
II the -
claims, made for the last several days
BY league opponents, that the demon
alization so evident among the anti
leaguers recently had ended, and that
they were more firmly united.
Would Throw Treaty Away.
Opposition Senators are convinced,
they declare, that the situation has
undergone this change since Sena-
tors have been seriously studying
the official copy of the treaty.
Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
said:
There is a growing feeling in the
Senate that the whole treaty should
be thrown out of the window. 1 am
surprised to discern the increase in
the belief that the wisest way to
deal with the treaty is to throw the
whole thing away"
Another Senator, leading those
who demand absolute rejection of the
leaguer declared that his colleagues,
in discussing the question with him
pfivate1y; say that study Of the treaty
has proved that the logic of the
situation demands rejection of the
Wlhole business. They are simply
&mpromising with their principles
wen they refuse to vote for rejec-

His trial, lawyers say, will cost
him one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars at least, and it takes
him a whole day and a half to
make that much at his business.
The trial has developed the fact
that he makes as his share one
hundred thousand dollars a day.
Recently he bought out the
minority stockholders in his COM

When it is all over and another
day thoroughly wasted, the factory
being closed, Ford hurries off to
his farm, ten thousand acres, sur

There is enc thing about a law
suit in Ford's favor. He is as en-
ergetic and active as a red squirrel
and exercises all his time, as he
sits, usually not needing or caring
what the lawyer is saying. He
thinks about his scheme of build
ing factories in farming regions,
that farmers may produce food in
summer and earn good wages in
winter; then he wiggles his feet
and arms and his eyes sparkle.
Next he is away. on his plan for
Harvesting up all the water power
in the country, factories to be put
wherever power goes to waste, and
he exercises a little more.

Testifying without much con-
centration, Ford hits on an inter-
esting truth. He says alcohol had
something to do with the fight be-
tween Germany and France. It
did. The French were originally
Germanic wanderers, Franks that
came down from the east and
porth. When they struck the wine
growing regions of France they
were pleased and decided, wisely,
to stay where the country agreed
with them France was built I'D
around those vineyards. If there
had been no France there could
have been no Franco-German war.
In Ferrero's five volumes on Rome,
or Michelet's many more volumes
on France, Ford at his leisure will
find that confirmation for his the
cries on alcohol, wine, etc., much
of it calculated to surprise him.
By the way, Ford's own doctor
tells him he should drink light red
VINE. But he will not on prin-
ciple, and besides he can't get it
now.

Each cook adds a bit of flavor or

to get just the required taste, if some

ORPHEUM

Capricious Eva Tanguay, she
whose chief charm lies in that no one
ever knows what she will do next,
and whose well-earned title is that of
the worlds greatest eccentric come
dienne, will be at the Orpheum next
week. And Eva Tanguay is Eva
Tanguay, no matter what suprelative
adjective the reviewers may apply to
her and to her art, for hers is a name
to conjure with in all affairs Of the
stage, a personality once seen whose
art is never forgotten. By sheer
force of her personal magnetism she
has enrolled the entire amusement
going public under her standard, and
she is winning new recruits by thou
sands on her triumphal tour South
this season.
Bizzare originality in song, costumes
and rendition has put this actress in
a class so entirely by herself that,
while she has had many imitatOrs,
she never has had real competitor
but Orleanians will be allowed to
judge her wonderful ability and enjoy
the entertainment she provides at
the Orhpeum all next week, beginning
with the matinee at 2:15 p. m, Mon
day.
Besides the cyclonic Eva on next
weeks bill, there will be an array
of entertainment which bids fair to
be as good or better than any the
Orpheum management has provided
for some months. There will be
Maryon Vadie, Americas peerless

Fur Used Less.

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This is
partly on account Of the very high
prices of furs now and partly because

Of long stoles, capes and coates of
fur over their suits and dresses. 1t is
