Out on the east side the other aft

a porch party. Now, all except one
were married, and the married ones
constantly talked to the one young

DEMAND ACTION
ON The TREATY
HITCHCOCK SSUES STRONG
STATEMENT THRU LEAGUE
TO ENFORCE PEACE.
IS in COLD STORAGE
SAYS RATIFICATION WILL BRING
ABOUT REDUCTION IN COST
OF LIVING.
Western Newspaper Union News Service
(By EDWARD B. CLARK,)

Washington, d. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, leader of the supporters of
the treaty with Germany in the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
has issued the following statement
thru the League to Enforce Peace:
'sThe treaty ratification situation
changed somewhat during the past
week. "A new issue was raised when
I asked the chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee and majority
members when they proposed to get
action.
Il took this course after consulting
with a number of senators. There
has been a growing demand for action
by the committee 1t has had the
treaty since July 10. For five weeks,
therefore, the treaty has been in cold
storage without a vote or any other
action.
'The Senate is waiting, and the
country is waiting, and the impatience
is increasing. Everyone knows that the
enemies of the treaty and opponents
of the League Of Nations control the
committee. Everyone also knows that
they do not control the Senate. Pub
lie sentiment resentS the suggestion
that the opponents of the treaty might
keep it locked up in the committee,
and this greatly delays ratification.
"When / raised the issue in the COM
mittee, it became manifest that sew
eral Republican members were Op-
posed to further delay and so an un-
Since then several days of additional
delay have interviewed, but we hope to
begin voting in committee this week on
proposed amendments. We ought to
get the treaty reported back to the
Senate in a week or ten days.
1T is of little Importance what the
committee does as long as it does
something, if it recommends amend
ments, the Senate will reject them. If
it mutilates the treaty, the Senate will
cure the damage done. The chief harm
that the committee can do is in caus-
ing delay.
Everyone now realizes that we are
still suffering from war, and that the
first step toward relief is to ratify the
peace treaty. The Presidents address
served to arouse the country to the
Importance of treaty ratification as
one of the steps necessary to reduce
the cost of living.
"He has very properly connected the
high cost of living with the war. He
has shown that we cannot get rid of
war conditions and war evils until
peace comes, with it's normal cOndi-
tiOns.
"He has shown that the first step
that must be taken is the ratification
of the treaty. In pointing this out and
in taking the leadership in movement
to reduce the cost of living, the Pres
ident has brought the treaty much
nearer to a VOTE

NEW PLANET BEYOND NEPTUNE
MAY BE REVEALED IN JANUARY
Astronomers Will Start Tomorrow on
Hunt for Supposed Farthermost
Member of Solar System.

Tn irregular motion OF the planet
NepCune. which has suggested to as
tronomcrs the possibility of an ultra
Neptunian planet, is now the subject
OF interesting astronomical discus
sion and renewed effort TO locate this
possible new member of the solar
system.
Prof. Harold Jacoby of Columb mbia
University says that astronomers of
the country will attempt to locate
body between tomorrow and January
81. when conditions are most ia
vorable to the discovery"
The planet Neptune, which rotates
in infinite space far beyond the limits
of human sight. was discovered in
Uranus. on a purely mathematical
basis. and has been for the last sew
enty-odd years regarded by the as
Economical world as the discovery of
the exterior boundary of the planetary
system.
The planet Neptune is $4,000 miles
in diameter. or more than four times
the diameter of the earth. This
great globe revOlves around the sun
at a mean distance of no less than
2.7S0 millions of miles. which is about
thirty times as great as the mean
distance from the earth to the sun.
Revolving at the rate of three miles

to complete one revolution.
The main feature of astronomical
interest associated with the planet
Neptune. and which is attracting the
attention of astronomers, is that this
planet was located in 1S46 with
out the aid of a telescope. simply on
the calculations of the human intel

Der 29.-The preamble of the bill au-
thoriZing the sale of beer and light
wines in New Jersey was made public
here last night by State Senator
Thomas Brown. who will introduce
the measure at the next session of
the state legislature. Senator Brown
said that the bill itself is not yet
ready for publication.
The preamble sets forth that the
state of New Jersey has not ratified
the eighteenth amendment, doubts
that it was passed in q constitutional
manner and intends to disregard the
VolStead act and pass an enforcement
bill which will be supreme within the
limits of the state. Senator Brown
said that the theory upon which Gov.-
Elect Edwards and his supporters are
working is that the eighteenth
amendment gives equal power to
Congress and the states in the en-
forcement of prohibition. and that the
congressional enactment applies only
where there is no state law in effect.
