PLANNING FOR THE
PEACE TREATY
Public Sentiment Demands that Sol
diers of Allied Nations Return
Home as Soon as Possible

are planning, as soon as the Russian
problem is disposed of and a few
more hearings have been accorded the
small nations. to take up the treaty

has impressed their representatives
here of the necessity of taking steps
to return the soldiers home, which
cannot be accomplished entirely in ad-
vance of the conclusion of the peace
treaty. The French government is
fully aware of this feeling and ex-
presses sympathy with the motives
underlying it, but there are fears of
dangerous complications, and fail
IRE to realize the necessary fruits of
victory if there is undue haste in the
conclusion of the peace treaty.

WON
HIS FIGHT
for Oklawaha Retained
in Rivers and HarbOrs Bill in
Spite of Strong Opposition
Especial to the Tampa Tribune)

Especial to the Tampa Tribune)
Washington, Feb. 17.-One of the
prettiest fights waged at the present
session of Congress was featured in
the Senate today when Senators Ken
yen of Iowa. Smooth of Utah. Jones
OF Washington and others made sys-
tematic and savage attack on the
amendment to the rivers and harbors
bill proposed by Senator Fletcher for
the improvement of the Oklawaha
river.
The fight was furious and spirited.
Senator Fletcher in committee had Of
fered an amendment proposing $780,
900 for this river. to begin improve
ments, the House having made no pro-
vision for it this year. Saturday the
fight began. Today when the Senate
met, the members just mentioned be-
gan the attack. They claimed that
there was no merit in the PROPOSE
ton, the Oklawaha river never could
be made navigable for the movement
of anything but logs, that the whole
scheme was one to develop competl-
tion for Leesburg and other towns
ard to open up the rich lake region of
Florida to get lower freight rates and
with all gigantic waste of the public
funds. The half-dozRp republican
members banded to kill the PROPOSE
tion on an amendment by Mr.. Kenyon
to have the government appropriate
$50, 1000 and the state of Florida an
equal amount. After Senator Flet-
cher had made telling speech in be-
half of the plan of straight govern
ment appropriation, as asked for by
the committee, he further said that
the remarks made by Senator Smoot
were such as to make him almost un-
able to remain patient and reply in a
parliamentary manner. This meant
that he was mad through and through.
The vote was then taken on the
Kenyon amendment and it was lost
by one vote, Senator Fletcher winning
the first down. Then Senator Smoot
asked for a roll call on the Fletcher
committee amendment, and on this
Senator Fletcher again won, this time
by a vote of 81 to 20. That disposed Of
the matter in the Senate and the bill
now goes to conference, where an
other fight may be waged.
Senator Fletcher, in speaking today,
said that to secure this appropriation
would mark one of the proudest days
OF his whole congressional career as
it meant unbounded prosperity, un-
limited development and great future
growth for the rich section of country
nearby which was the Oklawaha.
That stream. made only .navigable,
would improve the section as it never
bad been before by affording compe-t-
tive water rates.
/ fthe House conferees agree TO the
Senate amendment all will be well.
