students who stormed the, hall wher-
he was speaking. william E. John
son, an American prohibition work
er, familiarly known as 'Pussyfoot,"
was dragged from the platform,
given a pair of blackened eyes and
paraded through two miles of crowd
ed streets on a plank.
The occasion Of the attack was a
meeting in Essex Hall, just of the
Strand, at which a debate had been
Overseas Club and Patriotic League
between Johnson and r Mitchell
Banks, a lawyer, on The how and
the why OF American prohibition"
The chairman of the meeting was
F. A Mckenzie. He, too. was seized
by the crowd, but was soon released
The meeting had no sooner opened
than there was an uproar. due to the
activities of a few young men, who
Immediately engaged in heckling.
Outside the building there were po-
tent signs of pending trouble. A great
crowd of students had gathered. and
after Johnson began to speak. hun
dreds of students, who evidently were
organized, broke down the iron gates
OF the entrance to the hall, brushed
aside the police. charged down the
aisles and seized Johnson and Nc
Kenzie. These two they pelted with
bags of -four. They hoisted them into
a wage on and proceeded to Kings Col
lege near by, where both were invited
to state their case for prohibition &c
the students. but were not allowed &c
proceed because OF the howls.
The rioters then discarded McKen-

police effected rescue.

Keeping Up With

A F ACT A DAY

Is there anyone in Wash

for the District? The Times
has reprinted this law, in
convenient booklet form,
with explanatory notes by

state Editor. Copies Of
these booklets are given
free on application at the

Over 500 people called
at the office of The Times
for copies of this booklet on
Friday, Saturday and Sum

been previously given out.
1t is interesting to note
that the only means used

RESERVATION
ION ARTICLE X
WILL DEFEAT
PACT, BELIEF

Rejection of the peace treaty by
the Senate, or by President Wilson
himself, is assured if the resolution
Of ratification goes to a vote con-
tanning the reservation to Article
Ten, which has already been adopted
by the Senate, sitting in committee
of the whole.
This was the opinion in admins
tration quarters here today, and IL is
based on the Presidents own words,
frequently reiterated, during his re-
cent tour of the United States.
May Make Separate Peace.
Whether the President then will
carry out his threat to send leading
treaty opponents, Including Senator
lodge, to weimar 70 negotiate . new
treaty, remains to be seen. =
President Wilson has served notice
thax he wouId consider adoption of
the reservations to Article X rejection
of the whole treaty. There is nothing
to Indicate that he has changed this
attitude. When Senator Hitchcock
recently called at the White House
President Wilson told him the treaty
would be unacceptable IL certain Of
the pending reservations were attach
ed 10 it., and, although Hitchcock
never has specified what these "cer-
tain reservations" were, IL is general
ly known here thaat the qualification
to Article Y Is one of them.
Seek Csnprsnise.
Senate hope to do is to reject the
resolution of ratification containing
the Objectionable reservation; then
propose a new resolution OF ratifica-
ton, which they expect the opposition
to defeat; and then get together on a
compromise. But the strongest mem
bers of the opposition hold that re-
lection of the resolution now in
process of formation will constitute
rejection of the treaty and end the
whole affair. And, IL they succeed in
securing adoption of the resolution
containing the Objectionable clause,
the President will have none of 1t
unless he goes back on his own words
and completely reyerses himself.
Text Of Reservation.
On September IS, at Salt Lake City,
the President started his fight against
the reservation, which says that "the
United States ass-mes no obligation
under the provisions OF article 10 to
preserve the territorial integrity or
political independence of any other
versies between other nations, wheth-
er members Of the league or not; or

PRINCE A REAL FELLOW.
Eneland's Heir Hobnobs With Welsh
Coal Miners On Visit.


CORRESPONDENCE Of Associated Press.]
London, July 1.-Children strewed
with flowers the path of the Prince OF
Wales and bombarded his automobile
with roses when he visited recently the
coal mining regions Of South Wales
and went down into mine. The prince
scored with the coal miners of Rhond-
da Valley by telling them that 1t was
not his fault that it was his first visit
ard that his absence was due to the
war
On his way to the mine he surpris-
ed one woman by asking to see her
house and garden. He stopped his car
when another woman held up her baby
to give him rose.
Arriving at Owymmer pit, the prince
donned the cap and overalls OF min
err and gratefully accepted from the
foreman a silver safetylainp, the gift
of the management. Miners and theil
families crowded around him, and
cheered while the prince waited FOR
the cage to rise from the depths OF the
shaft.
Suddenly there was heard the sounc
Of singing apparently from the bowels
Of the earth. The cage came in view
bringing small party of miners, black
with coal dust, straight from the toll
of the pit and singing Welsh anthem
When the singing stopped the prince
and his official guides then stepped
into the cage and, swiftly but very
carefully, were lowered into the mine
At the bottom Of the shaft some one
had written on a bank timber witt
white chalk, welcome to our soldier
prince" The prince was manifestly
pleased and asking for chalk wrote be-
side it THANK you" and signed u

Sioux City. July 23.-An unusual
movement OF an unusual people Is oc-
curing in South Dakota. 1t has been
in progress for more than year and
probably Will continue for the next
several years The movement rs the
exodus Of the members of the several
Mennonite colonies TO Canada. The
movement or exodus is requiring
much longer time than the leading
men OF the colonies anticipated be-
cause they are having some difficult
~ in disposing of their large lanc
and personal holding advantageously
and of advantageousIy locating in the
great Canadian northwest.
The cause OF this exodus is the war
with the central powers from which
America and the other great powers
just emerged 1t is not because this
quaint people are not loyal to the
American government, not because
they did not like South Dakota, but
because they have a horror of war,
because it is against their religious
principles TO kill. because their young
men were required to render military
service the same as other young men
That is the cause of the exodus.
Date From Third Century.
These Mennonites, a religious or
ganiZation, are by no means a new
people. There are very good records
of their existence as far back as the
Third century. One writer in the
early days of Rome writes: This is
by no means a new sect who rose in
the time of Waldus, for the Papistical
writers themselves acknowledged that
they existed in the time OF Sylvester,
the Pope, and long before his time in
the days of the Apostles themselves"
Simon Mennon was born in 1895. was
ordained to the Catholic priesthood
and in 1886 was pastor of his native
place, Williarsum, Friesland, Holland.
He soon thereafter withdrew from the
Catholic church and became the foun-
der of the later school of Anababtists.
He died in 1861. He was most
gentle and kindly man, according to
all historians who have written Of
him. His followers have always close
ly followed his teachings, the mode Of
living he prescribed
Came to America in 1858.
They spread to Germany and in to
Russia and in 1888 came to the United
States on the invitation of William
Penn and settled in Pennsylvania,
maintaining a church at Germantown.
These were soon followed by many
thousands of other Russians Of Ger
man and Swiss ancestry. They took
little interest in politics, but were
deeply interested in school and reli-
gious affairs. They published, and
still do, their own religious literature
and their colonies maintained their
own schools, tho in some instances
their children were permitted to at
tend the public schools.
In December, 1873, a committee of
Mennonites came to America with a
memorial representing $4,000 people.
This memorial set forth they were a
religious people seeking a haven of
peace. 1t recited the prosecutions the
people were subjected to in Prussia
