The Supreme Council to-day approved
the text OF notification TO be addressed
to the neutral Powers which will be
asked to join the League OF Nations,
setting forth the conditions under which
they may adhere to the covenant OF the
league.
The council also approved the draft
of note to be sent to Germany de-
mandlng the surrender to the Allied and
Associated Powers OF German ships
which were turned over during the war
to companies in The Netherlands and
which are at present in German ports.
The note declares that the sales are
void because OF their irregularity. An

Indefinite POstponement of
Ratification Announced by
L. S. Delegation.
CANNOT FULFILL TERMS
Conference Faces Difficulties
Pending Americas Action
on Treaty.

PARIS, Oct. 15.-The formal ratifica-
tion OF the peace treaty with Ger
many, making this instrument effec-
tive. will not take place this week, as
had been expected, it was announced
tonight by the American delegation
to the peace conference. There has
been an indefinite postponement of
this bstep, it was stated.
Earlier in the day it had been
thought that the exchange of ratifi-
cations by the representatives of
Great Britain, Italy and France with
Baron~yon Lersner, present head OF
the German mission, would take place
on Friday or Saturday.
The decision not TO complete the for
NAL ratification OF the treaty this week
was due chiefly to the inability of the
three ratifying Powers upon the Entente
side to make the necessary preparations
to carry out provisions of the treaty
which must be attended to within a
brief time after the actual ratification.
lhe creation OF various cohlIhissioHS'
which, according to the treaty, must
inaugurate their work Immediately OF
within fifteen days after the treaty
comes into effect, the despatch OF troops
into the areas in which plebiscites will
be held. the delimitatiop OF the Saar
Valley state and the assembling OF the
Council OF the League of Nations en-
tail great amount of work. This
the Powers will be unable to accomplish
without delaying the date OF ratifica-
ton.
In view of these provisions of the
treaty French papers are asking what
will happen II tho United States delays
ratification OF the treaty. which they
consider a necessary preliminary to the

He told how he saw two and three
year-old babies, their heads swelled to
twice their normal size, the result of
starvation.

In Ka1varia, Lithuania, the rabbi
and a delegation from the congrega-
tion gave Mr.. Lasker the following
message for the Kalvaria synagogue
in Pike street, New York, which is
named after tho Lithuanian syna-
gogue:
Tell the members Of the Kalvaria
'chule' in New York, that the COM
munity of Kalvaria is starving and
needs relief and also money for a new

The Kalvaria synagogue was de-
stroyed by a German bombardment in
1914, Mr.. Lasker was told, after the
Jews of the town had placed oil their
furniture, silver and other valuab,es in
it, for safe-keeping. The end OF the
bombardment found them stripped OF
everything they owned.
'I encountered hundreds OF children
who have become lost from their par
ents in the ceaseless wandering that
have been the lot of the Jews for five
years" added Mr.. Lasker. "These
homeless children live as they can.

LIONS, ILL-cLOTHED, DISEAS.
ED AND HOMELESS.

New York, Nov 15.-'A people
without any hope. waiting to die"
That's the vivid impression of the
starving millions of eastern Europe,
brought back by Henry Lasker, at
torney of Springfield, Mass, who has
just returned to this country after
four months spent in Europe on legal
business.
1.-The old folks, the parents / saw
in Poland and Austria, have given up
1all hope" declared Mr.. Lasl1er. They
are without food. They are without
clothes. They are without medicine
with which to combat typhus and 9TH
er diseases which are thinning them
out so rapidly.
tAll they want is that their chill
dren, the young men and women, the
boys and girls and the babies, will
receive enough food and clothes to
tide them over the winter, which is
already setting in.
'And they are looking to America
to keep the children alive, to give
them strength to live through the Sc
we're winter, so that next spring they
will be able to take care of them
selves.
In whatever town I visited in Po-
land, 1 was Immediately surrounded by
la crowd of starving, emaciated crea-
lures, who kissing my clothes and on
their knees before me, always gave
me the same message to take back:
Tell your generous people to send us
food and clothing. so that our little
children will not die this winter
Mr.. Lasker related stories of the
suffering he saw, which he declared,
struck him cold with pity" In the
town of Nova Gore in Lithuania, he
found a mother and three little chill
dren living in a shed whose roof was
half gone. The whole family was ly-
ing on a dirty, WORKOUT mattress,
which was the only furniture in the
room. The motker, weak as she was
made daily trips to a sand bank a
mile outside the town and carried a
bag of sand to a merchant, for which
she received mark and a half day
With this, she was trying to keep her
her children alive.
But for the work of the American
Jewish relief agencies in administer
ing to these people, I can't begin to
imagine what their condition would
me-" Mr.. Lasker continued. Every
where I travelled, I found Jewish re-
lief agents handing out soup and milk
and bread to long lines of starving
people.

sion OF it all, one discerned, vaguely,
at first, then quite clear, the outlines
of that system which makes it all pos
sible--the system that is urging Yam
kee shipping to the lead of the world.
And standing in the clamor of Fore
River, one thought of all those other
great yards. Of Harlan. Union. Moore,
Sparrows Point, where similar scenes
are transpiring- But behind them all
one discerned Bethlehem with is yard

stone, with its roading mills, with it's

there the other day, l learned that not

Squantum was now trying to better it.

there are twenty more to be built.
VIII Uncle Sam ever be caught unpre-
pared again? Vis1 the shipyards.
But Squantum is only an annex as it
were, to Fore River. There, every
Yankee tells one that it is the great
est shipyard in the world. The pride
of the workmen in their achievements
in the superior speed and quality of
their construction compared to the
old world is intense. And they know
, that in other yards the men are just
as efficient; and the inter-yard rival
ry is keen.
you see those old fellows with the
boards watching u.s." my Yank guide
told me. They've worked here for
years. They built the first turbine en-
gines made in America and right in
this shop. And they are the men who
trained our boys to build turbines so
that during the war, they beat the
world building them
Yes, that elusive thing, morale, is
present at Fore River as it is in all
the other Atlantic and Pacific yards of
Bethlehem shipbuilding. One sensed a
decided pride throughout the plant in
work done well; and it's 10000 workers
seemed eager and contented.
What one sees in the Fore River
iyard one sees in the Union yard out
in California, in any of the yards
where Bethlehem builds ships. One
passes througl1t a guarded gate in a
picket fence and comes into a wide
store yard, where piled in racks, in
dexed and numbered, are the plates
that have come from the steel mills of
Bethlehem. UP and down the yard

now, lowering over one rack to pick
up a keel plate, soon to be needed

ships are made, now. lifting a stern
piece and bearing it away. With all
the insistance of mechanical things
the cranes go about their work, carry
ing. off whole sides of steel beneath
the weight of which human beings
used to stagger.
Brain Center of the Yard.
A visit to a mammouth brick struc-
ture thanking the store yard revealed
how ships are built today. Here above
