Many Changes
Are Demanded
By Committee
Chairman Lodge and His Colleagues
Ask Forty Amendments and -Four
Reservations as Price of Ratification.
(By United Pressl


Washington, Sept. 10.-Characterized
as an alliance and not league which
Twill breed wars instead of securing
peace the German peace treaty, in
Guiding the covenant for a league of
nations, was formally reported to the
Senate today by the Foreign Relations
Committee with As amendments and 4
reservations. It will be the first great
document of its kind to be discussed
in the open-without the confines of
executive session. Accompanying
the treaty was the majority report of
the Foreign Relations Committee sub
scribed to by every Republican mem
Der excepting Senator MeCumber of
North Dakota, explaining the amend
ments and reservations, all Of which
it was declared were governed by a
single purpose and that is to guard
American rights and sovereignty, the
invasion of which would stimulate
breaches Of faith, encourage conflicts,
and generate wars The reservations
purpose: 1--Unconditional right to
withdraw from the league. 2-Declina-
tion to assume any of the obligations
of the much-discussed article 10 eek
cept by action of the Congress of the
United States 3-Reserving to the
United States the exclusive right to
decide what questions are within its
own domestic jurisdiction. 4-Abso-
lutte reservation Of the Monroe Doctrine
to the Judgment of the United States
alone. The principal amendments are
proposed to provide: Equal voting
power for the United States with Great
Britain in the assembly of the league;
giving to China instead of Japan the
province of .Shantung; relief Of the
United States from having representa-
tives on commissions deciding matters
in which it has no concern; others con-
tain phraseology. These amendments
and reservations, the majority report
says, are submitted to preserve Amer
lean independence and American SOW
ereignty and thereby best serve the
welfare of mankind. -

First Consignment of Army
Surplus Food Reached Ke-
nosha Today and Plans
Are Being Made.
WAIT FOR FULL ORDERS

Kenosha people are going to eat
"chow" just like the soldiers ate while
they were in the army, in the next few
days, as the first consignment of the
government surplus army supplies
reached Kenosha this morning and 9TH
er consignments are expected to come
in during the day The carload of food
is not going to be distributed today or
tomorrow as the whole consignment has
not as yet arrived and Postmaster Cor
man will be unable to sort out the food
and make provisions for deliveries un-
til after the whole lot of the food is
here and ready for distribution. It can
be added that it will be of no avail to
call the postmaster and urge him to
hurry up the deliveries.
He already knows that the people are
anxious to get to eating surplus !
and he is going to facilitate the deliv-
cry Of the food just as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t comes in great boxes and
barrels and cases and with hundreds
of small orders to be made up it will
probably take several days of the post
Office men S time to get the orders all
sorted out and ready for delivery.
The orders are being filled in Chicago
just as rapidly as the food can be taken
from the warehouses and properly box
ed for shipment and it is certain that
Kenosha people will have their orders
filed just as soon as anyone in this
section of the country.
Up to the present time the food has
not been delivered in any city in the
Chicago district and it is believed that
the splendid force at the Kenosha Office
will make deliveries earlier than in
any other cities.
AS there viii be something over two
carloads of food to be distributed by
the Kenosha Office force, it is probable
that special men will be secured by the
postmaster to have charge Of truck de-
liveries of the food. The offer of the
government was for front door deliv-
cry and all orders were taken with
nraraid raoStana

New Homes Are Finding Purchasers
AS Rapidly AS They Are Completed
and Building Operations Will Go
Forward Just AS Long AS Possible.

The Kenosha Homes Company today
sent out the second call for payments
on the preferred stock of the company
recently subscribed by the people Of
the city. All together something over
a hundred thousand dollars worth of
this stock was sold but up to the pres
ent time the payments on it have not
been large. The call is for thirty per
cent of the amount subscribed bringing
the total called up to date to forty
per cent Of the subscription. Some <of
the subscribers paid twenty per cent
of their subscriptions at the time the
formal call was made and the call to
such subscribers amounts to but TWEEN
ty per cent. The call suggests that as
many people as can pay the entire
stock subscription at this time with the
understanding that the full interest on
the stock, will start with the Gate of the
payment and not with the date set in
the partial payment contracts.

many houses have been completed. The
report of the Manager declares that
at the present time house a day is
being completed and for this reason the
demand for funds upon the treasury Of
the company is decidedly large. 1t is
pretty certain that the entire stock
of the company will be expended dur
ing the present year on the erection of
houses.
The houses are meeting with ready
sale and it is stated that practically
all of. the completed houses have al
ready been turned over to some home
hunter on contracts. These contracts
provide for partial payments from
month to month. Other demands for
homes have been received by the COM
pany and the houses are certain to sell
just as rapidly as they are ready for
occupancy. The company hopes to
maintain the speed Of house a day
from now on until the end of the build

The city is rushing work for installa-
ton of sewer, water and other service
in the subdivision and it is not
thought that there will be any reason
for any extended delay in the compile
tion of the rest of the houses planned
by the company.

Whittier Motor Truck Com
pany Takes Option On Site
In Milwaukee For a
Branch Plant.
LANDS ENORMOUS CONTRACT
President Martin Whittier Announces
Company Has Recently Signed Con-
tract for $4,75o,ooo Worth of Trucks
Bulk Of Business Stays In City.

Another bombshell was thrown into
the industrial world of Kenosha on
Tuesday evening when Martin Whittier,
president of the Whittier Motor Truck
Company, announced at the meeting of
the Kenosha Chamber of Commerce
that the Whittier company had on
Tuesday signed an option for a large
building site in the city of Milwaukee
where they expected to build branch
plant of the Kenosha industry in the
near future.
No definite plans were made public
today, but it is said that the site in
Milwaukee for which the option was
signed yesterday, will cost in the neigh
borhood of $250,000 and that the COM
|pany plans to start construction of the
branch plant as soon as the details of
the trade can be worked out.
In connection with this announce
ment, President Whittier also declared
that the Kenosha company had recently
signed contract for $4,750,000 worth
ofsTnotor trucks with one of the wealth
lest corporations in America and that
the immense order had made it neces-
sary for the plant to plan extensions.
The order is one of the largest ever
received by any Kenosha manufacturer
and well shows the great demand which
has arisen for the Whittier product and
the reputation which it has built in the
motor market.
In regard to the plant which the com
pany expected to build in Milwaukee,
President Whittier declared privately
later that while it would be a large
plant, the bulk Of the business of the
company would still be done in Keno
sha and that the executive offices for
both concerns would be in this city.
He admitted that the lack of co-opera-
ton from property owners on the north
side in the matter of securing better
transportation facilities for that side
of the city had been factor in bring
ing about the decision Of the company
to establish branch in Milwaukee.
Complete announcement of the plans of
the company for the new plant and Of
the details of the large contract which
it had recently landed viii be made
within week or ten days.
President Whittier was insistent in
saying that the new plans of the com
pany would in spite of the opening of
the branch factory bring more business
to Kenosha and that the Whittier com
pany had no idea of moving from this
city.
Following the announcement made
by Mr.. Whittier, DIR. George F. Adams
continued the surprises by stating
that he had good authority for say
ing that the American Brass Company
had its eagle eye on spot away from
Kenosha,' and advised the Chamber
of Commerce to take steps to prevent
this from Undertaking.. At the office
of the American Brass Company, Off
Gals had nothing to say in regard to
the rumor but it is said that in no
event do they mean TO take a great
amount of business of the large plant
from Kenosha

NEWEST SEAPLANE

NC-3 Said to BE Best Equipped
of Navy Aircraft-WorkerS
Leave to Prepare Way.

The a. C.-3, which is conceded TO be
the best equipped naval hydroplane
for tho cross-occau flight, will re-
ccivc its initial try-out at Rockaway
Beach to-day The new machine was
taken from It's hangar at $50 A. NJ,
and experts spent several hours
tuning II up. Because OF the fine
weather and ideal flying conditions,
the work OF testing was speedcd up,
in order that the trial flight could
be made this afternoon.
The n. c. 3 has several advantages
over the y. G. /, the y. c. 2 and the
n. c. 4. The greatest, according to
the experts, is the placement and type
of motors. The new plane has three
twelve-cylinder tractor motors in
front between the wings, so called be-
cause they have what is known as a
pulling motion. and a push" motor
in the rear. All are Liberty motors.
a combination engine and chemical
firing apparatus is another feature
OF the y. G. 3. In appearance, too,
the plano is somewhat different than
the others OF The squadron. The
pontoOn is egg shaped in the rear.
