the crocodile tears that Senators are
shedding over China. Senators sit
here and shed their crocodile tears
over China, when in the past they have
never raised their voices in the de-
fence Of China. Here in this treaty
in the form Of Article x. Is guaran-
tee that in the future China cannot
be despoiled."
is 1T not also true" inquired Sena-
tor Norris, that the treaty between
Germany and France by which Alsace-
Lorraine was given to Germany was
approved by the entire world, and does
the Senator think then that the Ameri-
can soldiers who recaptured part Of
Alsace-Lorraine would not thereby en-
title the United States under his theory
to have Alsace-L Lorraine given to u.s.?
Mr.. Hitchcock-Well, Mr.. President.
there are so many answers to that
question that l hardly know how to
take them up. The fact is that one
Of the objects of this war, admitted and
proclaimed on the floor of the Senate,
was to restore to France the territory
taken away by Germany in 1871.
Mr.. Norris--In the next great war
China what has by this treaty been
taken away.
Mr.. Hitchcock-Well, I do not know
whether the Senator is any better
prophet than he is statesman. I do
not know whether that will be the OBJ
ject in the next war or not, but know
that China is beneficiary under this
treaty. know also that whatever title
Germany had Japan acquired by right
of war before we were in the war.
Fall Pays His Respects
Mr.. Fall notice that the Senator
from Nebraska-and thought very
racefully--congratula his colleague
on the Committee on Foreign Relations,
the Senator from Virginia Mr.. Swan
SOM yesterday upon his eloquent re-
marks. Does the Senator from Ne
braska agree with his colleague on
the committee as to the construction
placed upon Article 10 by the Senator
from Virginia?
Mr.. Hitchcock mnot sure that
the Senator from Virginia said any
thing regarding the construction of
Article 10 in the connection to which
the Senator from New Mexico refers.
Mr.. Fall-Well, to sum up, thought
the conclusion of the Senator from
Virginia was that we not need be
frightened, for Article 10 did not
amount to anything
Mr.. Hitchcock think the Senator
from Virginia said nothing of the sort.
Mr.. Fall-How will it operate?
Mr.. Hitchcock-ln my opinion, and,
am sure in the opinion of the Sena-
tor from Virginia, Article 10 is one Of
the most, if not the most, important
provision in the treaty for the purpose

Facts OF CIemenceou
Chamber Committee to Call
Premier to Explain Terms
on Left Bank of the Rhine

PARIS, July 15.-The committee Of
the Chamber of Deputies appointed
to consider the peace treaty has de.
cided to invite Premier Clemenceau
to explain the treaty, in so far as it
concerns the left bank of the Rhine.
Stephen Pichon, the Foreign Min
lister, to-day addressed the committee
on the league of nations. He ex-
planned the necessity of means of
permanent arbitration, the independ-
ence of which would be always in
evidence. Concerning the admission
Of Germany into the league, NJ. Pichon
declared this would only occur after
Germany had proved her good faith by
executing the conditions of the treaty
of peace, including the restrictions Of
her military forces. The Minister said
he favored amendment of the league
of nations covenant so as to include
the proposal of Leon Bourgeois for
permanent military and naval staff
for the league in order to insure its
complete efficiency in the control Of
armaments and military establish
ments.

"And II we approve this wicked de-
cree, is it any defence to aay that we

the Judgment, but the reprehensible
method by which it was brought about.

Of preventing wars of conquest In the
future. Under that article every me<1-
ber Of the league agrees to respect tho
political independence and existing
territorial integrity with every other
member Of the league.
Mr.. Fall-Yes; 1t goes further than
respect. It agrees to protect.
Mr.. acknowledgements" is the
language,
to be done. in the opinion Of the Sena-
tor from Nebraska?
Mr. Hitchcock-It is to be done as
stated in the article. When there is
danger or action indicating a war of
conquest against any member the ex-
ecutive council is directed to advise
and recommend to members of the
league the action that they shall take
to protect the threatened member.
Mr.. Fall-Well, there is nothing in
it, then, that compels any action at all 7
Mr.. Hitchcock think there is

States to carry out the purposes of the
article.
obligation? It either does or does
not contain an obligation?
Mr.. Hitchcock-Yes. 1t does con-
vey an obligation.
Mr.. Fall-Then by agreeing to it
we are obliged to preserve the ter
ritorial integrity of the Japanese En-
pire, with all of its possessions?
Mr.. Hitchcock-Yes, certainly.
Mr.. .Fall-So being under obliga-
tion to do that for Japan, we must
assist in driving the Chinese hordes
away from Shantung in the event that
the Chinese Republic undertakes no
recover Shantung?
Mr.. Hitchcock-No, the Senator
from New Mexico is entirely mis-
taken.
Wrong, Says Hitchcock
Mr.. Fall-Then we are not obliged,
under the Senator's construction, to
send our boys there?
Mr.. Hitchcock--Not at all. The SEN
ator from New Mexico never was more
wrong in. his life.
Mr.. Fall will admit, Mr.. President,
if the Senator from Nebraska will just
bear with my ignorance and enlighten
me, will be very grateful tu~him GER
tainly, and I will make any promise if
the Senator will merely inform me
now what he does believe about 1t.
Mr.. Hitchcock am. not going to
make speech at the suggestion Of the
Senator from New Mexico. + have
risen here for the purpose Of resent
ing the statement that the United
States and other nations which are
Ell sering into this treaty are making a
present to Japan. We are not making
a present to Japan.
Mr.. Fall beg the Senator's pardon.

ernment, then, under Section 10 Of the
league OF nations as it now stands it
would be our duty to contribute Amer
ican lives and American blood on the
battlefield to assist Japan to retain
her power.
Wants Treaty Rejected
This treaty should go back, and
believe If the American people could
have an opportunity to see all the vice
that it contains apd were able to ex-
press their patriotic sentiments, 1t
would go back practically by unani-
nous vote. When the honest citizns
OF Great Britain, OF France, Of Italy

BIG REFINERY ASSURED
Alamo OH and Refining Go. will
Erect Here One Of biggest
Refincries In u. y.
Eastland Texas

Eastland Texas
Joh;- T. Evans and DR.. T.. J. Gee
are in Eastland this week perfecting
arrangements To begin actual work
on their large lubricating refinery.
These gentlemen are the organizers
of and represent the Alamo Oil and
Refining Co., capitalized at $500
1000. The company has acquired n
tract of land from Mrs. Steele ad-
joining the T. a. p. railroad on the
north and about one mile east of the
depot on which the refinery will be
built. This plant when completed will
be one of the finest lubricatinr
plants in the United States.
The Alamo Oil and Refining Co.
in its prospectus proposes to turn
out the following by-products: Gas
oline. kerosene. cylinder oil, greases
variety compression grease, valve
oil sewing machine oil. filtered vase
line. cylinder stocks. cup greases
harvest oil, light engine oil.
Mr.. Evans is an experienced man
in the refining business and says his
company proposes to build at East
land a plant brand new from the
ground up installing large six hun
,dred barrel stills and boilers, pumps,
Icondensers agitators and manifolds
in proportion To the stills.
Mr.. George u. Dartois. who has
had over fifteen years experience in
oil refining business with several Of
the largest companies in the United
States. among which can be men
toned the National Refining Co., the
Gulf Refining Co., the Texas Co.
and the Pan American Refining Co.
of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is chief engineer
and general superintendent of the
Alamo Oil and Refining co. Associ-
ated with him will be two other eX-
pert refiners who will be actively on
the construction OF the plant when
il is completed. Mr.. Dartois is son
of George j. Dartois. of Shreveport,
La. who is an authority on lubri-
cants and has a national reputation.
They have made actual tests OF the
crude oil produced in this field and
find il in all respects equal To the
Pennsylvania crude that now is sell
ing for $500 per barrel. Mr.. Evans
says his four years experience in the
Oklahoma fields convinced him that
the more independent refineries that
are established right in the oil fields
the higher price the crude will com
mand, hence every lease holder, and
every producer, should be booster
for more refineries.
1t is understood that actual work
will be well under way within the
next thirty days and possibly sooner.

By Rita Stuyvesant.

Many women do not make their
own or their daughters clothes at
home because they are afraid they
will have that homemade look so
repellent to the really smart dressers
But the shops have foreseen this
condition and very cleverly have
found a remedy in the "half-begun"
garments they are offering at such
reasonable prices. Very often it is
the finishing details of work that
add so much to the cost, so that
if you are at all handy with the
needle. as the saying goes, you will
reap the benefit of this suggestion.
Well-cut serge or wash skirts are
selling for about half price, because
you have to adjust your own belt
and turn up the hem. Sometimes IL
the skirt buttons up the front, you
will need to sew on buttons to fit
the ready-made buttonholes. But
all details such as slit pockets,
patch pockets and plaits are already
completed.
For summer days there Is lovely
fine organdie in dainty colors, that
is just waiting to be made up into
cool frocks. The material is laid
in two inch tucks, fine rows or
them marked by good hemstitching.
Any simple pattern may be used
to cut the frock, and no other trim
ming is needed.
For the frivolous girl who loves
frills, yet who is not accurate
