President Wilson may have made
many mistakes. but the peop.e Of
the country will support him in his
endeavor to establish a league Of
nations to enforce peace. Not
understanding Washington's advice
to keep out Of European sGuabbIes
we we're unable to keep out Of the
war and retain our seIfrespect as a
nation. Now the next best thing, if
we cant keep out Of these warsis to
band together with those who are
likeminded to ourselves and prevent
the wars before they are started.
The republican patry cannot afford
to withhold its support from the
president in this matter. however
he may have been in other
matters.

speaker called attention to the fact
that since the signing OF the armis-
tice and the strain and excitement
Of war had been taken off there had
been a natural falling off Of enthu-
siasm, and unless people were
thoroughly aroused to the situation
and the importance making the loan
to finish up the war payments and
provide the money for the govern
ment to carry the work of demobii-
izing the armies the loan would be
a failure.
He appealed to the editors to pre-
sent the matter to the people Of the

vious loans, would show that they
meant to finish the job they had

TREATY MAY GO
INTO EFFECT BY
JANUARY THIRD
Hopes Again Raised in SUI
preme Council For Early Ex-
change of Notifications
GERMANS READY TO SIGN
Will Ratify Protocol Without
Waiting For Notification
of Tonnage Asked

Paris. Dec. 30.-Hopes have again
been raised in Supreme Council cir
cles of an early exchange of ratifi-
cations of the Treaty of Versailles.
The end of the first week in January
is given now as the probable date
when the Treaty will be put into eff
feet.
This prospect springs from the
conversation held yesterday between
Paul Dutasta, general secretary of
the Peace Conference. and Baron
Kurt Won Lersner, head of the Ger
man mission here. 1t was said to-
day that the chances were consider
ed good that the Germans would de-
eide to sign the protocol notwith-
standing the subject OF negotiations
without waiting for verification of
the figures on harbor tonnage de-
manded as reparation for the sink
ing of the German ships at Scapa
Flow
1t is explained that the Supreme
Council will satisfy Germany's de-
mand for a more specific declaration
on the reduction of the tonnage ask
ed for. through affiXing to the pro-
tocol the text OF NJ. Dutasta's verbal
declaration to Baron Won Lersner on
the subject.

City Officials and c. Of c.
Committee Discuss Plans
For Comfort Station

Mayor George A. Hoverter,
mem bers of Council and the Com
mittee of Public Affairs of the Har-
risburg Chamber of Commerce, held
conference at noon to-day in the
Harrisburg Club to consider the con-
struction of public comfort station.
A. Carson Stamm. chairman of the
! committee, presided. Practically all
the members and City Solicitor John
Il. Fox, T.. j. Stackpole, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, and
Warren r. jackson, secretary, were
present.
AS 2 result of the conference a
resolution was adopted by the COM
mittee expressing confidence in the
ability of the city officials to reach
proper conclusion with the board
of county commissioners. Under a
recent act the county commissioners
are authorized to join with the city
in the erection of a public comfort
station.
While there was some discussion
of q site no action was taken on this
question. AS a result of the con-
ference to-day it is expected that
final action will be taken in the near
future to provide this uch-discuss-
ed convenience for the city.

How Expensive Foods Are

DUBIOUS OVER THE PLAN
Man Who Buys a Cabbage For

Husbands would need centuries,
or at least generations of training
before they would be capable of do
ing the marketing for the family"
This is what Mrs. A. Carson
Stamm. 333 South Thirteenth street,
said when asked to comment on the
dispatch from Illinois, which an
nounced that 100000 women of that
state would attempt to lower the
II. c. of l.. by sending their men to
market. The western women claim
that husbands know nothing at all
about current expenses and need
first hand information, so that the
family budget may be readjusted.
Men Good Buyers
Mrs. william Henderson, 20 North
Front street, said that from her OBJ
servation there are more husbands
who do the family marketing in Haf-
risburg than wives. Mrs. Hender-
son is of the opinion that in the
Chestnut street market at least, the
men are in the majority and that
they have quite as much marketing
ability as the women.
Mrs. r. S. Herman, 2025 North
Front street, said that in Broad
street market there are very few
men who do the family buying.
Male Extravaganza
IL do not think that the men are
very good buyers" said Mrs Her
man, "as they are inclined to be eX-
travagant. They buy quantities OF
goods which are more than needed,
and accordingly wasted.
"And there are also many men
who don't know what to buy when
they see 1t. For example, l know a
certain young husband who returned
from market rejoicing in the fact
that he had brought his wife fine
head of lettuce, and so cheap, too!
He presented it to his better halt
with a flourish and was astonished
to see her roar with laughter. He
had brought home az head o.
cabbage"
Little Would Be Gained
Mrs. A. Carson Stamm though
that there was very little to be gain
ed by sending the men to marke
and quite bit to be lost.
| Very many men 20 to marke
with q certain sum of money, anC
when that is spent they come home
regardless of the fact that they Nigh
| have bought huge quantities of stuff
| that will last for months, and totall!
neglected the immediate needs o
| the table.
Personally l think that the mel
will need years of training befor,
they will be worth anything at al
as marketers."

Prisons Costs Are
Cut Deeply When
City Is "Dry"
THOUSANDS TO
BE RETURNED

Extensive changes in the man
prison were decided upon to-day by
the Board of Prison Inspectors, all
brought about by the passing of in
toxicating liquor and the big de-
crease in the number of persons in
custody for violating tn law.
Upon deciding to grant all en-
ployes, from Warden John j. Har-
gest down, an increase of $40 a
month beginning January /, the in
spectors decided that in the future
all paid employees VIII furnish their
own board. In the future food VIII
be prepared in the Jail only for the
prisoners. This change will save the
county much money, the inspectors
said. In the past it had been Gus
tomary to permit prisoners who act
ed as runners and in other similar
capacity to eat with the paid en-
pleyes. After January L all pris-
oners will be given the same meals,
regardless of whether they are en-
ployed in doing work at the Jail or
not.
To Buy Bread
The inspectors also decided that
after January l they will purchase
bread under contract awarded after
competitive bidding. The big de-
crease in the number of prisoners is
responsible, the board finding that
with an average of about seventy
five inmates daily 1t will be cheaper
to buy bread than to keep up the
bakery, purchasing -four. fuel and
other commodities needed to make
the bread at the advancing market
