WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Intima-
tion that President Wilson may refuse
to accept as "ratificatio" OF the peace
treaty any senate action which pro-
vides either for amendment or reser-
vation was conveyed TO the senator's
today. The president might refuse to
deposit notice of ratification at Paris
on behalf of the United States If tex
tual amendments or reservations, as
part of the resolution OF ratification,
are made, it was hinted. The gener-
al opinion is such an action by the
president would throw the treaty back
into the senate. The senate could
then ratify unqualifiedly or refuse to
take any further action. causing
deadlock. Republican senators said
if such a thing occurs they will inn
mediately propose a resolution declar-
ing the war with Germany ended and
the president to re-establish
consular service throughout Germany.
Senatorial discussion of the treaty
probabl wont reopen this week Uln-

THE TIME TO Do THINGS
(By George Matthew Adams)

Many years ago, out on the Pacific coast, met
a Short thick-set quiet man. He was clean cut and
modest And his Hugh Mcintosh" This
man. who looked very much like minister, thought
it would be fun to conduct some boxing matches.
But all Of his friends said to him: "What do you
know about boxing?" He said: Nothing. But l
soon will know"
So he put on championship contest down in
Austraa-and made fortune out of it!
Then Mcintosh decided he would like to go into
the theatre business. And again people said:
''What does he know about entertaining people?"
And again Mcintosh went ahead and showed them,
by acquiring string of five theatres-one in each
state in Australia.
But still Mcintosh restless, and he thought
he would start some newspapers Once more people
said: "What does he know about the publishing
business?" And once more Mcintosh showed them
by becoming the biggest publisher in Australia!
This restless, indefatgable man passed through
New York City, recently, on his way to London,
where he to sit at the conference table of great
and important affairs.
But the large and lasting thing about this little
story, is ths-in Hugh Mc1ntosh's own words, he
said: "If someone just says to me that can't do a
thing-thats when do it!'
Here is another little piece of philosophy from
this man: "It doesn't matter what you tackle" he
says "it's how much foresight andcommon sense you
have, that brings you out on top. The first money
made, was on foresight"
But the only people who have foresight are
those who do thing after everybody else has said
they couldn't

STATE EXPENSES
WILL BE PROBED BY
SENATE AND HOUSE.
Upper Body Passes Board
of Control Bill
Yesterday.

MONTPELIER, Feb. 18-The
Senate placed its stamp of approval
on the proposition to investigate
state expenses at last nights session.
It reconsidered it's vote of Friday
whereby it ordered the Amey resolu-
ton to lie and be made special or
der for Wednesday forenoon, ordered
it to third reading and later in the
evening suspended the rules and pass
ed it. Senator Amey urged ilnmedi-
ate consideration of the resolution so
that if it is adopted the House and
Senate committee can get to work
Immediately upon the investigation
program.
The Senate also passed the amend
ed Board of Control Bill in conc
renee AS amended the bill provides
that the secretary of state and lieu
tenant governor shall take the place
Of the director of state institutions,
now member of the board and the
commissioner of agriculture, whom
the bill would place on the director
ate. The bill now returns to theHouse
for concurrent action or disaproval.
It is sure to cause big fight in the
House and it is doubtful if the House
agrees with the Senate, even if that
body seemed to be amiably disposed.
Senator Ballou said the bill reminded
him of the "pork barrel" legislation
of Congress and opposed the bill.
He was Joined by Senator Amey
who thought that it was a wrong
step for what was supposed to be an
economical legislature to take. Sena-
tor Steele's motion that the bill be or
dered to lie was defeated 13 to 10 and
on the rolf-call passage was refused
II to 8.
j A committee of reference, the. first
Of the present session, will probably
be appointed tomorrow or next day
as the result of the Houses refusal
last night to concur in the Senate
proposal of amendment to the bill
increasing the fee of jailors. The bill
as originally presented in the House
increased the fee from Csc to 85c.
The Senate after hard fight, finally
amended the bill and split the differ
ence, making the fee 75c. Last even

PLAN OF MILITANTS
German Women Voting Is "A Blot
of Lasting Shame on Democratic
Party

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-Mem-
bers of the National Woman's Party
are preparing for a demonstration at
the dock when President Wilson ar
rives from France The militants have
sent Miss Mildred Morris and Mrs.
Lucille Shields to New York to take
charge of the organization of working
women and others for the demonstra-
ton. According to present plans, a
line Of women who have served Jail
sentences for White House picketing
and similar demonstrations will stand
along the Presidents path from the
steamer to his meteor car.
Mrs. Fl. o. Havemeyer, who was
sentenced to five days in Jail in con-
nection with the demonstration dur
ing which the women on Sunday be-
fore last tried to burn the Presidents
effigy in front of the White House,
was released from Jail last week. At
the headquarters of the Woman's
Party it was announced that Mrs.
Havemeyer's release was effected by
her family" Several of the pickets
now in jail will be passengers on the
Prison Special, which the women
will send out from Washington next
Saturday night.
Mrs. Havemeyer, who had already
given $1,000 for the expense of the
Prison Special, today contributed the
additional sum of $500.
Before starting for New York re-
Gently Mrs. Havemeyer said:
mo one doubts that the President
could have won one more vote fo,
the amendment Monday, if he had
chosen to use his political influence
to the full. I am glad to have taken
part in the protest against the tac-
tics of the Democratic Party in the
Senate. The fact that the amend
ment has failed to pass when women
of the whole Anglo-Saxon world, and
even the women of Germany, have
been granted suffrage, is blot of
lasting shame on the Democratic
Party.
tTt is significant that on the dav
the amendment was defeated 25
women were imprisoned for demand
ing its passage. It is a disgrace that
women guilty of no crime should be
not only thus arrested and Jailed, but
should be put into the abandoned
unused for many years until last Aug
workhouse of the Jail, which had been
ust when other suffragists were held
there. 1t is cold and damp, and no
fit place for. any prisoner"

French Are Nervous Over
Hun Activities Pending
Final Peace
MILITARISM is OVER
No Danger of Amy Immediate
Teuton Resuscitation Say
Officers

PARIS, Feb. 18-Serious as un-
doubtedly are the differences of opir-
ion which have arisen in regard to
the renewal of the armistice and the
policy which is to determine its terms,
there is good reason for stating that
satisfactory way out Of them has
already been found. The British at
titude is one that greatly helps to-
ward solution. 1t may be described
in a few words as follows:
The first and most urgent duty of
the conference is to remove the men
ace of militarism from the world. 1t
is essential to insure that the resur-
rection of militarism in Germany,
with its concomitant CONSUMPTION, is
precluded. Can this be done by the
armistice conditions imposed during
the armistice?
The French view is that the armis-
tice terms should be enlarged so as
to secure conditions which will
roughly correspond with the peace
settlement.
AS against this, the argument put
forward in British quarters is that
the best course is to ascertain Sex-
actly the position of affairs in Ger
many SO far as the military power is
concerned and frame the conditions
accordingly. 1t is predicted that by
proceeding along this line an agree
ment can be reached between the
French view and the American view
British expert opinion, both mill
tary and naval, is that there is no
immediate danger of a militaristie
resurgence of Germany, despite the
rather truculent speeches delivered al
Weimar. If this attitude is adopted
by the Supreme War Council, as il
is today expected will be the case, the
chief difficulty, which turns on the
point whether it is legally possible to
extend the original terms of the arm
istice, will be overcome.

Although The Terms
Are Increasingly Harder
Foch Will Only Allow
Germany Army of
$4,000.

TREVES, Feb -16-The armistice
renewal was signed at $50 P. M. to-
day. Under the new terms, as presen-
ted to the Germans by Marshall Foch
Germany must abandon all offensive
movements against the Poles and al
SO must prohibit her troops from
crossing the Russian frontier at a cer-
tain line. 1t was provided by the AL
lies terms that the armistice must be
renewed for an indefinite period with
a fixed delay of three days for the
denunciation of it. The old terms of
the armistice are to be carried out
completely by Germany.
The German delegates reached
Treves on Friday morning and Mar
shall Foch arrived at noon. The first
discussion was at three o'clock Friday
afternoon and was begun by Mar
shall Foch. Matthias Erzberger spoke
first for the Germans.
The Germans have accepted the

Says Defeat of Germany
VIII Not Bring Peace
Without Society
DESCRIBES FUNCTIONS
DR.. Henry VanDyke Says We Are
Far From Abandoning Monroe
Doctrine

CHICAGO, Feb. 18-An appeal to
American citizens to unite in support
of President Wilson in his fight for
a League Of Nations was made this
week by prominent speakers at the
opening session of the Great Lakes
Congress of the League to Enforce
Peace. The opinion was expressed
that the proposed league should be
based upon constructive peace, JUS
tice, and sound principles.
William H. Taft, the principal
speaker at the evening session, said
that the defeat of Germany would
not bring permanent peace without
League of Nations treaty, and that
many questions and disputes that
would grow out of enforcing this
treaty would have to be interpreted
by an impartial international court
Mr.. Taft described the necessary
machinery as follows:
First, we will have the information
al court; second, the council Of con-
ciliation; third, the agreement for Or
ganizing economic powers and mill
tary force if need be, and fourth and
finally, the congress of powers.
that "All that this league pro-
poses is that every nation shall en-
joy complete sovereignty within the
limitations of international law.
NLet us support any real League
of Nations that is brought back even
if it does not give US all we desire, so
that it will have fair consideration on
it's merits. SO that we can discuss it's
provisions, not in a nagging, critical.
unfair way, not in a nagging, critical,
unfair way, but with constructive
spirit, with team work for. all to go
and realize what should be the glori-
Gus fruits of this war"
DR.. Henry van DYKE former Am
erican Minister to the Netherlands,
said that the League of Nations plan.
far from abandoning the Monroe
Doctrine, proposed to extend its ap-
plication, not only to America, but
evervwhere.
! Before Germany could become a
member, DR.. Van Dyke said, she must
first repent and prove her repentance
by works of restitution and repara-
tion and must institute Government
directly alike from convicted liars and
bloody Bolsheviki.
