regard it as reflecting upon the
trainers of the treaty and especially
upon the American commissioners. The
logic of this is, inasmuch as the
President took no guidance from the
rest of the commissioners, that the
making of changes would be regarded
as "humiliating'' to the President
himself
Senators who are opposed to certain
features of the treaty and of the
covenant for the league of nations and
who believe that the covenant in its
present form impairs American rights
have not been slow to point out that the
rights and interests of United States
are of more Importance than the ques-
tion whether any individual or indivi-
duals feel themselves reflected upon
or humiliated. According to Senators
the President is still insisting that
the Senate must accept the treaty just
as it has been written.

STATE NAMES AGENTS TO
PROBE PRICES OF FOOD

Four agents of the state government
were named today to trace food and
necessities of life from the time they
leave the farmer until they reach the
consumer. All information gathered
by these experts will be submitted to
the new state food investigating COM
mittee.
This active step was taken thru the
state labor department. Two of the
agents will inspect the books of the
Denver commission merchants under a
state law passed two years ago,
which also gives the governor police
regulatory powers over food hoarders
and profiteers.
Two factory inspectors will trace the
cost of food from the producer to the
hotel and restaurant patron. Two Of
the men will work in Denver. The
others will make Investigations at
Pueblo.
That the governor has full power to
curb food profiteers was discovered
today with the unearthing of a law
passed by the special session Of the
Twenty-first general assembly Aug. Z,
1917, vesting the governor with "any
and all police and regulatory powers
regarding the production, storage re-
frigeration, manufacture, distribution,

Washington, Aug. 15-A new argu-

of nations and all other features of the

now being advanced by President
Wilson in his talks with Senators
This argument is that it would be

treaty to Germany to get Germany's
approval of the changes that might be
made in the instrument for the pur-
pose of safeguarding American rights
and interests.
While the President is not quoted as
