Germany and the Allied nations.
This attitude is taken because of the
iragmentary nature of bulletins re-
ceived from Washington.
Absence of authentic news relative
to the Senate's action is also restrain
ing editorial writer's, who appear at a
loss in gauging hte status OF ratihca-
ton so far as the United States is con-
cerncd.
Financial and political circles are
combining their specu alton with respect
to the Senate's ultimate action to con-
sideration Of the possible effects Of
ratification Of the treaty in which the
United States has no participation.
Opinions are divided On one hand
it is assumed that Independent action
on the part of the United States would
prove favorable to Germany, in that it
would accelerate the resumption Of
commercial relations on a liberal scale,
while in other quarters fears are ex-
pressed that peace ratified only by the
European Entente Powers woud insure
the latter an ascendant sphere Of in
tiuence in various directions, which
would react on Germany, in that it

senator Hitchcock, Administration
leader in the Senate treaty fight, in
replying to Mr.. Lodges statement last
night that ms reservation program
should be made campaign issue, sad !:
The reservations to which Senator
Lodge refers did not even receive a
majority vote of the Senate, although
the party which Senator Lodge leads
controls the Senate. His party is split
on ratification in the Senate, as we'll
as throughout the country.
The reservations were not framed
for the purpose of ratifying the treaty.
They were framed for the purpose Of
making it impossible for many sup
porteIS OF the treaty TO vote Tor ratl-
tication in that form The reservations
were supported by fifteen Senators who
would not vote for the treaty under
any circumstances and who voted
against every form of ratification.
Those Senator'S, after helping Mr..
Lodge to force those reservations upon
the Senate, voted mo- when the reso-
luton containing them came to vote.
Reservations in the ratification of
the treaty are inevitable, but they must
be framed and agreed to by Senators
who expect to vote for ratification.
When the Senate meets in December
there will be eighty-one Senators out
Of the ninety-six who favor ratification
in some form. They are the ones to
decide on what the reservations should
be. When siXty-four of those Sena-
tors can agree upon reservations, as
believe they can agree, ratification will
take place"

DIPPED like SHEEP
TOWN ESCAPES FLU

Brawley, Cal.-''Tho Sheep-Dpped
Town" Such is the title by which
this small Imoperial Valley city of
southern Califirnia has recently come
to be referred to by its neighbors.
And even taken literally the title vir-
tually states truth. Moreover, its
citizens are proud of it, for, because
it is sheep-dipped, it is claimed it is
practically the only city OF its sizc,
or larger, in the country that has no
case of influenza.
A wonderful discovery? Bra"ieT

uratively holds her nose in doing so
Whether the germs are sensitive in
oIfactory equipment and steer a
course accordingly, Or, odoriferously
unwarned, they venture in and are
victims Of the same fate that over
comes the coolies On sheep, no one
seems 10 know, but, be that as it
may. ask a BraWleyite why Brawley
has become a flu-free haven and
youIl &c. the answer: "Sheep-dip
did it,
Here is the story: Brawley sew
eral months ago had its cases OF in
fluerza just like other places, and
probably worse than some. The city
council promptly ordered the closing
of the churches, schools, theaters and
other gatherings of a public nature.
This was given about a months trial,
but it seemed to do no good. III
fact, the number of cases steadily in
creased
Then followed an order that the
people wear masks which they did
for a few days; but the wearers,
disliklng the idea of appearing in
public. especially at social functions,
like muzzled dogs, they assembled
en- masse at the city hall, where
they discussed the matter with the
mayor and council from the various
viewpoints, with the result that the
masks, with whatever germs they
may have trapper, were discarded
and burned.
Then, finally, the city engineer
stepped forth, little hesitantly at
first, and assumed the part Of the
hero. He had observed what sheep
dip does to the sheep coolies, and,
while he surmised that the city was
little too big to immerse intact in
sheep-dip cal he believed that his
sheep-qip idea might be experiment
