Washington, Aug 10 President Wilson told the Foreign

he could reasonable objection interpretations of how

interpretations did form part of the formal ratification it

If interpretations part of the formal ratification he

"Mr. Chairman: I am sincerely
glad that the committee should have
responded in this way to my intima-
ton that I would like to be of serv-
ice to it. 1 welcome the opportunity
for a frank and full interchange OF
views.
II hope, too, that this conference
will serve to expedite your consid-
Grafton of the Treaty of Peace. I
beg that you will pardon and in
dulge me if l again urge that prac-
tically the whole task of bringing
the country back to normal condI-
tions of life mad industry waits OF
the decision of the Senate with re-
gard to the terms of the peace.
Critical Problems
Il venture thus again to urge
my advice that the action of the
Senate with regard to the Treaty be
taken at the earliest practicable
moment because the problems with
which we are face to face in The
readjustment of our national life
are of the most pressing and critical
character, will require for their
proper solution the most intimate
and disinterested cooperation of
all parties and all interests and
cannot be postponed without mani
fest peril to our people and to all
the national advantages we hold
most dear. May I mention a few of
the matters which cannot be har-
died with intelligence until the

Hundreds Buy Bacon and Beef
at City Firehouses, Where
Volunteer Clerks Sell Food
stuffs at Low Prices to
Housewives; Balance of the
Bacon to Be Sold Saturday
CITY HAS BEST RECORD
OF ANY IN THE STATE

Government food was again in
big demand to-day. 1t was the Sec
ond sale by the municipal food COM
mittee and was confined to meats
only. The crowds were not as large
as on Friday and the sale lasted
but three hours. There are still sew
eral hundred cans of bacon on
hand.
The committee decided to give
the people every opportunity to get
this bacon and it will be placed on
sale Saturday afternoon and evening
at the Hope and Mt. Pleasant fire
houses. The price per can, 12
pounds to a can, will be $4.25. In
cluded in the sales to-day were L.
600 pounds of roast beef, 1855 cans
of corned beef. and about 5000
pounds of bacon.
Due to the fact that the parcel
post sales started to-day the COM
mittee will not take up any other
proposition until after the quantity
of food allotted to Harrisburg for
sale through the Post Office, is ex-
hausted. Mayor Daniel L. Keister
expressed a wish to-day that his
committee would remain intact for
several weeks, that if any oppor-
tunity was presented for another
purchase of food, it would be taken
up promptly.
With the quantity of food sold
to-day Harrisburg consumers have

After the President had delivered
his statement, Senator Lodge said:
"NIr. President, so far is l am per-
sonally concerned-2nd l think / req
resent perhaps the majority of the
committee IN that respective have
no thought of entering upon argu-
ments as to interpretations or points
of that character; but the committee
was very desirous of getting informa-
tion on certain points which seem
not clear and on which they thought
information would be of value to
have in consideration OF the Treaty
which they, l think l may say for my
self and others. desire to hasten in
every possible way.
Your reference to the necessity of
action leads me to ask one question.
If we have to restore peace to the
world, it is necessary, l assume, that
there should be treaties with Aus
tria, Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
Those treaties are all more or less
connected with the Treaty with Ger
many. TIE question l should like to
ask is what the prospects are of re-
ceiving those treaties for action.
This Treaty Model
The President: Il think it is very
good, sir, and so far is l can Judge
from the contents of the dispatches
from my colleagues on the other side
of the water, the chief delay is due
to uncertainty as to what is going
TO happen to this Treaty. This Treaty
is a model of the others. l saw enough
of the others before l left Paris to
know that they are being framed
upon the same set of principles and
that theTreaty with Germany is the
model. l think that is the chief ele-
ment of delay, sir.
Senator Lodge: They are are not
regarded as essential to the consider
alton of this Treaty."
The President: They are not re-
garded as such, no sir; they follow
this Treaty.
Senator Lodge: II do not know
about the other treaties, but the
Treaty with Poland, as an example,
has been completed?
The President: Yes, and signed but
it is dependent upon this Treaty. My
thought was to submit it upon the
action on this Treaty"
Senator Lodge then asked whether
the President could show the COM
mittee the tentative League of Ma
tions drafts submitted by Great
Britain, France and Italy.
The President: 81 would have sent
them to the committee with pleasure.

ing petitions for the September

on both the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets who have announced
that they will run FOR important

hour in the afternoon, and they
were expected to bring their pa
pers to the office before o'clock
this evening. At the last hour J.

Mayor John K. Royal, circulated a
petition for District Attorney.
The only petitions for important

DEMOCRATS TIRE
OF BUNGLING AND
BADLEADERSHIP
Poll Workers Angered by Die
tatorship Which Criticises
Instead of Helps

Reorganization of the local Demo-
cratic organization without regard
for the long-standing Mccormick
dictatorship hinted at for several
weeks was openly forecast to-day by
political workers who for years have
honestly been trying to keep the
party in Dauphin county abreast
with the times.
Failure of the Dictatorship to do
anything but criticise men and meth
DDS during the little furry of ex-
element incident to getting prim-
airy petitions filed has annoyed the
real workers to the breaking point.
Men who are close to the rank and
file of the party, the men who regis
ter as Democrats year after year in
the hope that their party will put
strong ticket III the local field,
said to-day that there is nothing
but bad feeling over the way things
have been bungled and left to shift
for themselves.
Ten days or more ago workers in
terested in getting a ticket into the
field put the matter before the Die
tatorship. There was no word from
the boss until the latter part of last
week when it leaked out generally
that the only thing to come from

country knows the character of the
peace it is to have? l do so only by
a very few samples.
When There Is No War
The copper mines in Montana
and Alaska, for example, are being
kept open and in operation only at
great cost and loss, in part upon
borrowed money; the zinc mines of
Missouri, Tennessee and Wisconsin
are being operated at about one
half their capacity; the lead of
Idaho, Illinois and Missouri reaches
only a portion of it's former market;
there is an immediate need for cot
ton betting, and also for lubrica.-
ing oil which cannot be met-all
because the channels of trade are
barred by war when there is no
war. The same is true of raw COT
ton, of which the central empires
alone formerly purchased nearIy
four million bales. And these are
only examples. There is hardly a
single raw material, a single impor-
ttant foodstuff or a single class of
manufactured goods which is not III
the same case. Our full, normal
profitable production waits on
peace.
Industry Must Get Working
"Our military plans, of course,
wait upon it. We cannot intelligent
ly or wisely decide how large a

Expected Rush at Post Office
Does Not Materialize; Car
rierS Distribute Blanks From
Door to Door; Sale Expect
ed to Grow Larger

The first day of the food sale
through the local Post Office has not
been as exciting as was expected
Up until noon very few orders had
been turned in and the Post Office
authorities are of the opinion that
the firehouse sales rather finished
off the first enthusiasm of the
buyers.
Each mail carrier as he left on
his first tour this morning carried
with him about fifty blanks, which
were delivered to those desiring
food. On their second tour at noon
the carriers were to collect these
blanks and distribute any that were
missed on the first trip.
The window at the central Post
Office which is to be open from 8
a. m. to IL p. M, had only made
about fifty sales before noon, but as
it was anticipated that the great
number of sales would come
through the medium of the carriers.
no surprise was expressed at the
lack of business.
