To the Public:

~ G6 uUlSS
We realize the very serious condition that we are
now experiencing for the want of houses, with the sitla-
ton growing more d~eplorable daily. To take care of this
condition will require from one to two million dollars.
But if people desiring homes are willing to cooperate and
the banks will make an extraordinary effort to cooperate
with the Building and Loan Association, we are sure that
relief can be had.
The undersigned wish to announce that
they will furnish any building ground necessary and per-
nit the individual or corporation to give them a second
mortgage in payment for same, thus giving the Building
and Loan, Banks or individual furnishing the money with
which to erect a house a first mortgage. which should
make an attractive loan.
The undersigned will be glad to 20 into
This proposition with interested parties. We do not claim
be giving anything away, but we do claim to be willing
w.. cooperate with anyone desiring a home, and without
cooperation in this home-b building or anything else. we
do not get very far.
The undersigned companies, as well as the undersign-
ed individual have land in all sections Of the city and if
other lot owners and corporations will offer the same or a
better inducement, we are sure it will encourage home
building and relieve the situation now existing.

treaty by a simple majority vote any
thing they pleased
So that when the final vote Of
two-thirds is taken, the original
treaty can be displaced by another
treaty containing a number OF things
that are distasteful to two-thirds Of
the Senate, But which they must ac-
cept in entirety unless they want To
reject the whole thing.
PRESIDENT REGARDED IT AS A
MULTIPLICATION OF TREATY.
The reservations in the Lodge
resolution were construed by the
President and the trcaty-negoti-
ating branch of the Government as
nullifytng the contract entered into
at Paris and as unacceptable to for
eign Governments whose consent has
to be obtained to changes in that
contract. SO the Lodge resolution
failed.
A compromise was and is still pos
sible. The only change in the stu
alton is that the Republican ma ajority
have refused to permit any amend
ments to be made to their reeerva-
tons. These tactics will be oon-
tinued Just as long as public opinion
approves. The move was not unex-
pected. =
Each side has taken 4 stubborn

willing to compromise and have said
so openly. When the Senate recon

fers will be accepted. though more
