face to face with serious unrest
which is affecting the life of the peo-

coupled with justice for the wage

President Wilson possibly again
forced to take the stump in support
of the treaty, IL was predicted.
|. President Wilson threw down the
gauntlet when he wrote Senator
Hitchcock on the eve of the vote that
the Lodge reservations would nullify
the treaty. This challenge, according
to Republican Senators today, forced
the entire majority party to rally
around Lodge. This is the explana-
ton OF the unbroken front which
Lodge put up during the battle in
the final hours of the extra session.
1t was known that mild reserva-
tonists" on the Republican side were
ready to support Hitchcock in certain
courpromise proposals., but when the
President attacked. Lodge, all the Re-
puoficans resolved to stick with
their leader. although in some pre-
Vious stages of the fight they had
opposed him.
Expect Bitter Contest.
Indications today were that bitter
contest will start when the treaty
comes up again next session. BY its
action in refusing to ratify the Sem
ate wiped the slate clean and will
have to begin all over again. The
treaty will go to the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee first.
The crucial struggle will come with
in the committee this time, according
to present plans. The treaty i'll not
be reported until reservations have
been agreed upon which will meet the
approval of two-thirds of the Sena-
tcrs-a Proceedings ON the Senase floor
viii be cut and dried, il is expected
Within the committee Republicans OF
the Johnson-Borah-M group
will try to shelve the pact. The real
issue at the polls, according TO the
outlook today, Will be whether the
treaty Is to be reported out of the
committee or permitted to lie there
forever. Candidates will stand for
one or the other of these courses, it
was predicted. and the people must
decide. Meanwhile the nation faces
n. onths of a technical state of war
with Germany.
.ampaigns Being Planned.
Material for the political orators is
already being prepared. Speeches of

LLOYD-GEORGE "CHAMELON"|
Northcliffe Airs This Opin- ion In New Weekly
 Publication.

London, Feb. 12-While the press generally approves of Premier Lloyd Georges labor program, it fails to satisfy the parliamentary labor party, which has prepared an amend ment to the reply to the speech from the throne, regretting the absence of definite proposals dealing with the present eases of industrial unrest and for se- curing, as regards wages and working hours, conditions of
 labor which will establish a higher standard of life and social WelI-being for the peO- pie.
 MT. Lloyd Georges proposals also are adversely criticised by the radical section of the press, which regards them as vague and unlikely to be carried out by what is alleged to be 'reactionary parliament"
 The labor situation reaches e crisis today in conferences between the government and their great unions representing nearly 100000 work CTS, the result of whose demands is awaited with keen interest by the en- tire labor world. The unions are the Miners Federation of Great Britain membership, S00,000; National Union bf Railway Men, membership 100000; and the National Transport Workers Federation, membership, 250, 900. The
 unions are acting together and it is believed they have agreed on joint action if dissatisfied with the result oi the conferences.
 The railway mems demands in- clude a 48-hour week and control of railways by representative of the
 arrangements and workers. This lat
 ter clause is considered a, step toward standardization, but an alternative
 has been prepared in the form of mission of labor delegates and boards of directors.
 The miners want a six-hour day | and 30 per cent increase in wages while the transport workers demand | A hour week and a ge increase of 20 per cent.
 While the Northcliffe newspapers
 generally approve of the Lloyd | George program, the premier is l cltffe in a new weekly published to- i day. The attack is in an article
 cabled to the publication by Viscount | Northcliffe, who is in southern | France. MT. Lloyd George is said tC
 be political chamelon," who lacks i force to compel the tories and their
 Allies in parliament to accept needed
 reforms. The premier is accused ot
 waiting for the newspapers to tel 1 him what to do.

SEN, CORE SAYS GOVERNMENT WILL
 GUARANTY FARMERS WHEAT PRICES

Washington, Feb. 12.---Senator Gore of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, in an address yesterday in the Senate declared that the farmers of the United States could rest assured that the government would keep faith with them in carry ing out the guaranty of a price of S2.26 8 bushel for wheat. The gov ernment, he said, should pay the diff ference between the guaranteed price and the price dictated by the law of supply and demand for to do other wise would create g. state of unstable economic equilibrium" The presiden- tial proclamation proclaiming the price for 1919 wheat, Senator Gore asserted, "creates an obligation against the government---an obligation which is as sacred and an obligation which is held as inviolate as that of a thrift stamp or a United States bond"
 Of two methods of carrying out the guaranty requiring the consumer to pay the difference between the fixed price and price in the unregulated market and authorizing the govern ment to pay this difference, Senator Gore said economic considerations rec ommend the latter, which has been endorsed by the House Agriculture Committee and embodied in it's bill.
 Tu make the consumer pay the diff ference, the senator said. would only mean a continuation of the imitation

TyPHUS FEVER
 RACES IN RUSSIA

Vladivostok, January 12.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press)- There are approximately 25,00O cases Of typhus in Ekaterinberg, Chelia- blnsk, and Omsk, according to Major Jack Reifsnider, who has just re- turned from a two months trip III charge of a Red Cross relief train. Russian authorities, as well as the American Red Cross are doing tn ,ir best to check the spread of the dis ease, but in view of the overcrowd- ed conditions in all cities and towns, their task is desperate An average of ten new cases daily are being taken from the railway station in Ekaterfnburg where refugees, specula- tors and homeless people generally are packed together
 Diseases, starvation and the rigor- GUS climate, beside the sporadic fight ing along the western front, pile up the dead faster than they can be dis posed of. Grave digging in the frog en ground is next to impossible. The bodies are loaded into cars and haul ed out on the line for disposition. Be- side pr. k. B. Teuslers Red Cross train in the yards at Ekaterinburg lay for days a train partly made up of carloads of bodies awaiting ship ment.
 A 450-bed hospital established by the Red Cross in Tiumen is well filled and Is doing a great service to the af- fected population. In spite of efforts tc keep free from typhus cases, one occasionally develops. Typhus pa tients are removed, as soon as the symptoms develop, to a Russian iso> lation hospital. It was in this hos pital that the American nurse, Grace Mcbride, died of typhus.
 A Russian typhus hospital in Ekat- erinburg contained hundreds of pa tients with practically no sanitary arrangements for caring for them and with most deplorable want of any sort of management. Patients lay in rows on a filthy floor in an unventilated room whose pitch dark ness was only slightly relieved by c9~3les here and there.
 Mt to the need for medicines, and medical help, conditions throughout western Siberia call for clothing sup plies. Many refugees are well sup piled with funds, but are in rags be- cause of the scarcity of clothing or material out of which to make gar ments.

COMMITTEE TO
 SETTLE CLAIMS
Liquidation Committee To Handle Financial
 Affairs.

Washington Feb. 12-Appointment of the United States liquidation com mission-war department, to liquidate the business and financial affairs of the Amertcan army in England and France, was announced today by Secretary Baker. Edwin B. Parker of Houston, Texas, is chairman.
 The other members already ap- pointed are Senator Hollis of New Hampshire. whose term in the Senate expires March 8 Homer H. Johnson of Cleveland. and Brig.-Gen. Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago, who is now serving with the American expedi- tionary forces. A fifth member may be appointed at later date. Sena- tor Hollis and MT. Johnson will sail for Europe in a few days and will be followed later by Chairman Parker.
 In addition to settling all claims of and against associated governments, the commission will be empowered to dispose of movable and immovable properties in France and England, used by the American forces and generally to hQuidate the business and financial affairs in France and England of the American expedition ary forces" Headquarters will be maintained in Paris.
 Claims against the French and British governments growing out of arrangements and contracts made in the United States with the war de- partment will be developed, disposed of as far as practicable and then re- ferred to the liquidation commission for final disposition by Chester W. Cuthell, who recently was designated by the secretary of war as special representative of the department for this duty.
 The plan of thus adjusting the ob- legations and disposing of the proper ty of the American expeditionary forces abroad was proposed by Gen. Pershing and has been worked out in detail by Secretary Baker in con ference with Assistant Secretary Ed ward R. Stettinius
 In announcing the creation of the commission, Secretary Baker said MT Stettinius had completed the task as- signed to him and terminated his of ficia1 connection with the war de- partment, but would return to France with Chairman Parker and assist in the organization of the com mission.

FOUR FACTIONS TO
 BE AT CONFERENCE

Paris, Feb. 12-(By The Associated Press)-Prospects are brightenins for the assembling of at least four of the Russian factions at the conference to be held on the Princes Islands.
 Word has come that the Ukraine government will participate, and it is reported that the indecision of the government of General Denekine has given way to desire to join the con- ference. The government of the Crimea already has accepted the in vitation, as has the Russian Bolshe- vik government.
 It is beginning to appear that a sufficient number of other factions will be in evidence to meet the Bol- sheviki and the Entente and Ameri- can representatives to assure the sue cess of the conference plan. The sur- cess of the conference, however, is believed to depend upon the willing ness of the Moscow Soviet to give cor tain guarantees such as the cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of the Bolshevik forces from the pro vnices which they have invaded. It is by no means certain that the Soviet government will agree to any such guarantees.

 CONSTITUTION
This Made Big Scandal in Court and Cost Culprit
 $10 and Much Anguish.

Coming before Judge Greene and Examiner Church again yesterday afternoon, his case having been con- tinued for further study last week, petitioner for citizenship, one Andrew Kotona, possessed with an over abundance of self importance, was fined for contempt of court and VIII probably never again have the auda- eity to petition a Naturalization Court for the privilege of becoming a ci1- ten.
 Kotona, with all the bluff of a 10 year old school boy faced the Court and prepared to kid his way through. MT. Church asked, "Who made the Constitution of the United States?"
 The would-be citizen smiled as though he scoffed such a simple ques- ton and answered, 'fWho made the Constitution of the United States? Why, the Constitution of the United States was made by,-Why, the Con- stitution fo the United States was made by-' That's as far as he could go but he insisted that the question was easy and that for some unknown reason just could not answer just exactly.
 MT. Church then asked as to who made the laws for the State of Con necticut Te witness smiled again, peeved sort of smile, as though 1t were an imposition to worry him with such a simple question. Indeed, he impressed everyone in the court room with a feeling that a man or his at- tainments should consider it an 1n- suit to be bothered with such perfect ly ridiculous and simple questions. He tried to bluff an answer put It dld not go with the Court. His case was continued for further study.
 On being told by the sherln to leave the stand and the court room, Kotona carried an air of wounded dignity On passing before Judge Greene he drew from his pocket small book which he violently threw onto a table exclaiming, 'There's the damned Constitution" Proceeding toward the door he remarked, If they don't want me, they can go to Hell"
 This was the "scandalum magma tum." Judge Greene instructed the sheriff to apprehend said Andrew Ko- tona. He was arraigned before the Court and fined $10 whereupon the delinquent, in wrath. exclaimed, T won't pay it.'' 'Very we'll" replied the court, Sheriff, make out mitti- Fnus immediately and take the pris- oner to jail" The sheriff was prompt in executing the courts order.
 In half an hours time the once dignifed and important Kotona was heard from the bowels of the Court House bewailing, bawling and weep ing. He pleaded for mercy. His cries
