the resolution of ratification. i have
followed the Kellogg g-McNary mild
reservations. and have drawn a reso-
luton which cannot be objected 10 by
any friend Of the treaty"
Text Of Resolution.
The resolution was as follows:
That when the Senate Of the Unit
ed States shall advise and consent
to the ratification Of the treaty OF
peace with Germany, signed at Paris
on the 18th day of June. 1919. now
pending in the Senate. that il be done
with and in consideration OF the fol-
lowing understanding as to the pres
ent and future construction and inter-
probation to be given to the treaty:
"First-That whenever the two
years notice of withdrawal from the
League of Nations shall have been
given by any member Of the league,
as provided in article /. the govern
ment giving such notice shall be the
sole judge whether all its interna-
tional obligations and all its obliga-
tions under the covenant shall have
been fulfilled at the time OF with
drawaI.
"Second-That the suggestions Of
the councid OF the League of Nations
as to the means Of carrying into ef-
feet the obligations of article 10, the
execution of which may require the
use Of military or naval forces or
economical measures, can only be car
ried out through the voluntary sepa-
rate action Of each Of the respective
governments, members of the league.
and that the failure of any such gov
ernment to adopt the suggestions of
. n Of ha Loo IN
vide such military or naval forces or
economical measures. shall not con
stitute a moral or legal violation Of
the treaty.
Resolutions a Surprise.
Pittman's action today came as
great surprise But il was learned
on high official authority that tn
Administration is pleased TO have
the other powers know just how the
United States interprets the treaty,
particularly as TO the obligations Uui-
posed by the League covenant. This
is one reason, it was stated. why
President Wilson was willing to have
yesterdays White House conference
made public.
The Pittman resolution was laid on
the table under the rules, and is to
be called up at an early day, Pittman |
said. Its Introduction caused a great /
stir among reserva tiOnists, who have |
been insisting that reservations, to be |
effective. must be made part of the |
resolution or ratification. But by get |
ting the assent of other governments /
in advance Of Senate ratification, Pitt I
man pointed out, the Senate removes !
any doubt as 10 how the treaty is to .
be construed, and at the same time /
obviates the necessity for sending Il |
back for reconsideration.

CANADA NOW HAS
four LADY SOLONS

OTTAWA, Canada. Avg. 20-Canada
is up to date. She has q quartet of
women legislators. No woman has
yet made her appearance in Parlia-
ment. but in three OF the western leg
islatures women are to be found taxi
ing their place with men in the max
ing Of laws. The verdict also is that
the innovation is beneficial
PrOverbially the wise men come
from the East; but in Canada the wise
women lawmakers come from the
West. The western provinces, which
were the first to introduce woman
suffrage, were also the first to send
women TO the legislature. 1t is also
to be remembered that in these prov
inces there are fewer women in pro-
portion to the population than in any
other part Of Canada. 1t may be that
their comparative scarcity has devel-
oped among the men a deeper sense Of
appreciation. incidentally, II may be
observed, that in Prince Edward Isl
and, where the sexes are practically
equal in number, women have not the
franchise, much less are they elected
to the legislature.
Beginning at the Pacific coast and
working eastward, the women NJ l..
AS are as follows: Mrs. Ralph Smith,
Wldo~ OF the hon. Ralph smith, wen
known figure in the political life Of
the Dominion, sits as one Of the menl-
bers from Vancouver city. In the AL
berta house two women are TO be
fOund-Mrs. Mckinney. representing
ClareshOlm. and Miss Roberta Macad-
ans, one of the representatives OF the
Alberta soldiers overseas. In the Sas-
katchewan assembly Mrs. Ramsland
widow of the late member for Pelly,
has recently been elected to succeed
her husband.

OFFICIAL VERSION
Of Ransoming of
AMERICAN FLIERS CAP
TUREDBY MEXICAN
BANDITS
y y y

The story OF the adventures ol
Lieutenants Davis and Peterson is
told in the following dispatch re-
,eived at the War Department from
Major General Dickman. commander
Of the southern department.:
"Lieutenants Peterson and
Davis, air service. were brought
to the Rio Grande by bandits and
delivered to Captain Matlack,
Eighth Cavalry, commanding Of
ficer at Candelaria about ., a. m
this date. The full details of the
airplane flight not yet received.
1t seems that the aviators went
up the COnchos thinking that 1t
was the Rio Grsnde. Their ma
chine crashed in Mexico some
where near Falomir. on the Con-
Chos river. as Lieutenant Davis
mentioned seeing railroad
bridge over the river.
They made their way down the
river and were captured on We'd
nesday somewhere near the Con-
chOs, near Lasugus or ChurchIllo
Harado. They report seeing about
twenty mounted men, six OF whom
they thought were bandits.
The leader OF the bandits
speaks English, says that he was
educated i'm the United States and
raiIroaded in Kansas, where he
left an arm and a leg. He claims
10 have sixty men under him
The lieutenants were then
taken toward the north and
northeast until they were about
opposite. Caudelaria, all the
while apparently believing that
they were in Texas. When their
machine crashed, il was badlv
broken up. They disabled the
machine gun by removing certain
parts.
They were well treated ana
had enough to cat. They were
accompanied by three or four
bandits to near Candelaria. Their
parents have been notified. Fuller
details later"

THE RAILROADS

Just now the question whether the
management Of American railroads
should remain with the government
or revert to the owners is discussed
far and wide. Cogent reasons are
advanced by the advocates Of either
course.
But in whose hands soever the
management stands, many improve
ments are needed for the sake Of the
public.
We have all endured willingly and
cheerfully the inconvenience. de-
lays and curtailment Of service which
the war made necessary. But now.
realizing that the business develop
ment Of the country depends upon
good railroad facilities. We ask for a
return to pre-war conditions.
Better transportation and freight
ing will assist in the readjustment Of
business from coast TO coast. There
should be repairs Of many lines. re-
placement Of rolling stock. improved
service generally.
The primary object Of railroads is
TO serve the people. and any condi.
lions Of ownership or management
are secondary matters

She listened to the angels voice,
That taught her what to do,
And with unfailing trust she learned
The course she should pursue.
But many great men. said Of her.
She's nothing but a child,
And is deceived about her call,
With fancies vague and wild.
And while she begged to see the king.
His sanction to obtain,
And gave her valiant men to lead.
Her pleading seemed in vain.
Al last he yields and soldiers call.
And now she hears him say,
Supreme commander you shall be,
And always lead the way
She mounts her steed with flaming
sword.
And waves it in the air,
Then shouts for all to follow her.
And in her triumph share
Her banner floats above her head.
That all may plainly see.
The siege Of Orleans she will raise.
And set her people free.
She now is offered great reward.
For noble work she's done.
For daring deeds in leading men.
And for the battles won.
She says. but one thing | will ask.
That occupies my dreams,
] wish to go without delay,
And crown the king at Rheims.
