WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Caustical'

their opposition to the Presidents

Pollock of South Carolina, today
charged them with partisan politics
and spirit of littleness."
Il have noted with pity their ac-
tion," said Senator Pollock 81 have
pitied these men because they are in
juring not the President in his great
undertaking, but they are making
themselves small indeed in the esti-
nation of the American people and
this may account for the recent an

ers that he will not submit himself

1T is very easy to find fault, but
it seems to be very hard for parti-
san to be fair. 1t is very easy to tear
down, but very hard to build up. 1t

BILE for the narrow minded bigot to be

Senator Pollock declared that oppo-
sition to the league Of nations did NOT
come from the men who had seen real
service in France.
"They have seen the horrors of war
they have endured the agonies,' he
declared. "They know the criminality
of war except as it is fought in defense

PARIS, Jan. 30.--The secret treaties
effected by the allies before America
entered the war, which were generally
accepted as constituting the most SER
ious menace to democratic and per-
manent peace are invalid.
They we're swept away by accept
ance of the armistice terms, including
President Wilson's IA points, his
speech of January s, 1918, and subse-
quent speeches. They were doubly
mullifled when the allies agreed to the
principle of the league of nations.
The United Press is able to state
this today on the authority of the
highest international law experts now
in Paris. ~
According to these men, the terms
OF the arnistice are binding and sup
ercede every previous agreement. The
armistice therefore, is the only treaty
that can properly be considered in the
peace conference. Formation of the
league of nations will further make
certain that all old understanding"
will be cancelled. The American peo-
pie consequently need entertain no
fear that the secret treaties will inter-
fere with their ideas of proper peace
settlement
This authoritative opinion is es-
pecially significant in view of the
present discussion of territorial
claims. 1t probably explains the con-
fidence in certain quarters that the inn
perialist ambitions of some of the as
sociated powers will not be realized.
Reports have been published CT a
secret treaty between Great Br tain
and Japan signed in 1916, giving Jap
an the right to retain the Caroline and
Marshall island groups. The pact
of London" also makes certain ccnces-
sions to Italy, especially regarding
Dalmatia. Italy already is understood
to have agreed to readjustment OF her
frontiers on the lines of nationality.
thus practically repudiating her con
tribution to the secret treaties. Japan
was still making a fight for realiza-
ton OF her colonial claims, but it was
believed certain that her ambitions
would be overwhelmed by the virtually
unanimous determination to make the
league of nations the repository for
all territorial disputes. All other
questions involved in the secret trea-
ties, aside from territorial matters are
equally invalid. The nations partici-
pating in the peace settlement, in the
opinion of these international authori-
ties, have bound themselves to start
anew with an absolutely clean slate.

FARMER OUGHT NOT SELL HIS
STOCK-SHOULD FEED IT

1t is customary for the average
farmer to sell his steers and sheep to
the feeder. This is u mistake. The
man who owns lind, has his own feed
and needs manure for his soil, should
feed out ut least all the stock he
raises. Feeding in large numbers
may be considered gamble. but the
farmer who owns land and who stays
in the feeding business every year,
will be more prosperous in the end
than the farmer who does not feed
hut sells his stock to be fed by some
one else. Some years there will be
u loss on the feeding operation II
the increased yields secured by the
use of manure is not considered, but
on an average over number OF
years there Is u satisfactory profit on
the feeding operation. The man wh'
owns land. raises his feed and e.
pecially his own stock, should by all
means feed regularly every year.
The man who owns no land. has
no use for manure, raises no feed
and has to buy what he feeds should
leave feeding alone.
Winter feeding should be more
generally practiced by Colorado land
owners.-R. W. Clark-Colorndo Az.
