from forty to a hundred miles closer to the Grand Canyon and to the Old Trails state highway. Tourist traffic will turn to the road at once, and. with the road put in shape for heavy hauling, agricultural and other products will be ex- changed between the Verde Valley and Coconino county, by means of trucks. Just such roads as this are what the state most needs to bind it closely together.
 While the greatest benefit, will naturally accrue to the people of Coconino and Yava- pal counties, yet the entire state will be benefited by the open ing of this road, just as it will by completing a real road across the state along the Old Trails route.

NEITHER SIDE
IS CONFIDENT
And Both Are Seeking Sup
port for Final Vote
on Treaty
VOTING AMENDMENT
DEBATED TODAY
And -Four Senators Were
Scheduled to Deliver
Addresses

Washington, d G., Oct. 24.-The
amendment to the league of nations
covenant of the peace treaty by Sen
ator johnson, Republican, California,
dealing with the voting strength in the
council and assembly, was before the
Senate again to-day.
-Four senators announced they would
deliver speeches on the treaty to-day.
They were Senators Gronna, North Da-
kota, LaFolette, Wisconsin, Reed,
Missouri, and Spencer, Missouri.
Indications were that the reserva-
tions to the treaty would cause a long
drawn out fight on the Senate floor.
Neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic leaders seemed to have abso-
lutte control of his following and both
forces were laboring to strengthen their
ranks for the final vote.

THRIFT MEETING AT NEWPORT
Purpose of Campaign Is to Impress
Thrift. Said Mrs. Lord.

Newport, Oct. % A war savings
meeting was held at the Newport house
yesterday afternoon when Mrs. D. G.
Jones Of Waterbury, state manager for
Vermont, met chairmen and heads of
womens organizations from this sec
ton The meeting was addressed by
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Myra r. Lord of
Boston, district director Of the bureau
of women's organizations.
Mrs. Jones outlined the plan of cam
paign and told of some of the work ac-
complished up to this time, giving the
names of many prominent people in
the state who have given their support
TO the work. Mrs. Jones has been state
manager of war savings for Vermont
since Jan. last, and the active cam
paign she has conducted is keeping Yer
mont, as last year, among the leading
states in the union in per capita sales.
During the last three months she has
visited large number of towns and
held important meetings. Mrs. Lord
has addressed many Of these gather
ings, as well as meetings in other New
England states, and everywhere she has
gone great activity in the work has re-
suited.
In her talk yesterday, Mrs. Lord said
that the principal object of the cam
paign was not to sell thrift stamps
but to stamp thrift upon the American
people. 1t took ten years to recover
from the Civil war and no one will
venture TO predict how long it will
take to get back q normal conditions
now. Thousands of priceless American
lives sacrificed and billions of dollars
expended during the war are in vain
if the lessons Of thrift learned during
the war are forgotten,
Thrifty people are the backbone Of
the country We want to strengthen
that backbone Government securities
are the best guarantee against bolshe-
syism you can find anywhere. If a man
owns a few shares in the government
he is going to do everything possible to
protect that government. There are
three planks in the platform: Save
Systematically; invest wisely; spend
intelligently.
Thrift in the home financed the war
and thrift in the home is our most
potent weapon to-day said Mrs Lord
"'ro save but not to sacrifice, not to
discourage spending but to encourage
wise spending. We want to get this
message TO every man, women and
child in the country"

Pierre Lenoir was the third person to
be executed on charges arising out of
attempts made by the German agents
to conduct a 'defeatist" campaign in
France in 1915 and 1916 The others
who met death as result of reyeia
tions made against them were Bolo
Pasha, executed April II, 1918, and NJ.
Duval, who faced the firing squad July
II, 1918. Both were directors of the
Germanophile newspaper Bonnet Rouge.
Lenoir, who as a young man had led
an idle and dissolute life, came into
public notice early in 1918, when the
arrest of Senator Humbert, owner of
the Paris journal, was followed BY
charges against several men who were
alleged to have acted as agents of the
Germans in buying the newspaper from
NJ. Humbert 1t was shown early in
the investigation that Lenoir had paid
NJ. Humbert large sums Of money
which he received from Germans and
that Lenoir had received a commission
OF about 100000 for his work. The
money handled by Lenoir came into
France by the way Of Switzerland, a
German agent named Sehoeler, acting
for Germany in that country.
Lenoir was doomed to death on May
s, 1919, and desperate, but futile ef-
forts were made to gain a communal
tion of his sentence He was removed
to Sante prison after what appeared
to be his last chance for life and van
ished, but on Sept. 10, last, when the
firing squad was in position and all
preparations Tor his execution had been
made, his life was spared for a time in
a most dramatic manner His attor-
ney asserted that Lenoir could give evil
dence wanted in the case of Joseph
Caillaux. who was yesterday brought
before the high court Of the French
Senate on a charge Of "conspiring to
bring about premature and dishon-
orable peace with Germany" Lenoir
was given searching examination by
judicial authorities, but subsequently
il was announced that nothing he laid
before the official would justify miti-
CATION of the sentence of death passed
upon him An appeal to the court Of
revision was rejected on Oct. q.

Wednesday nights audience
mystified
Tries Vanly detect difference between of famous
and RECREATIONS by Edison's new photograph

Those present at the Opera House
last night saw Claire Lillian Peteler
walk onto the stage. They saw her take
her position next to beautiful cabinet.
They saw her lips give voice to the
opening lines Of Coming Home. Then
suddenly her lips were still - but the
song kept flowing on.
How came this? They were hearing
Miss Peteler's voice, yet Miss Peteler
was not singing. The entire audience
gasped as it slowly realized that it had
been unable to distinguish between
Miss Peteler's voice and the RE-CREA-
TON of that voice by the New Edison
This was the daring test undertaken
last night at the Opera House by

Thomas A. Edison. He sought to prove
that no difference exists between the
voice of the living artist and its RE-
CREATION by the New Edison. The
unsteady cultured of Barre were invit-
ed to pass judgment No test could
have been more eXacting.
Miss Peteler made comparison after
comparison. Sibyl Sanderson Pagan,
who appeared jointly with Miss Peteler,
also made tests with her whistling Sc
lections The mystifed audience tried
vainly to catch difference between the
original rendition and its RE-CREA-
TION by the New Edison. No one could
tell one from the other.

for the New Edison.
