has planned to send big delegations to
Eskridge for the preliminary. More
than 1000 visitors were expected in
the little town for the hearing. which
is to be held in the opera house. One
report is to the effect that more than
fifty motor cars loaded with farmers
from the John Woody neighborhood
northwest of Maple Hill would attend
the preliminary. Every man. woman
and child in Maple Hill who can find
means of conveyance expect to jour
ney to Eskridge.

CLIMAX is NEAR.
Treaty-League Struggle in Sem
ate Brought to Head.
Both Friends and Foes EncOur-
aged by White House Farley.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Both friends
and foes of the peace treaty today pro-
fessed to be encouraged by the White
House conference between President
Wilson and the senate foreign rela-
tons committee yesterday.
Both factions in the senate declared
today that the presidents answers to
questions seemed to prove that their
side is right.
Opposition senators declared their
position had not been changed and
the fight against the treaty and league
of nations covenant would take on
new intensity.
Climax Is Approaching.
AS the league friends have been pre-
pairing to force the issue anyway,
climax appears to be approaching in
the struggle which has swayed the
senate for months.
Senator Hitchcock, administra lion
leader, declared today that the presi-
dent clarified doubtful matters in a
wonderful way"
Senators Borah and johnson, lead
ers of the extreme opposition, in a
joint statement asserted that the
presidents explanation justified and
confirmed us in the position we have
taken on the league"
Lodge Not Impressed.
While Senator Lodge, Republican
leader and a reservationist, declined
formal comment, he indicated the be-
lief that the conference had made no
impression on the leagues opponents,
while it had proved inspiring to its
friends.
Administration senator's said today
that they had all along been of the
opinion that the league imposes Moth
the president stated yesterday. That
Interpretation, they said, is accepted
IN all allied countries.
To Be Center of Debate.
The presidents construction of
moral obligations and his statement
that such an obligation would be of
compelling force. requiring the United
States to take a hand in European af-
fairs, promises to be the subject of
sharp senate debate.
His admission also that the allies
kept him ignorant of their secret
treaties covering disposition of terri
tory, while trying to get the United
States into the war, will be used by
the League opponents.
Senators said they did not learn all
they wanted to. but laid that to the
shortness of the conference. All were
impressed with the presidents willing
ness to talk. tho Borah and Johnson
pointed out in their statement that he
declined to tell certain facts regard
ing the fixing of Germany's reparation
or go into the debates of various COM
missions.
The committee today was to resume
its public hearings on the treaty, with
DIR. John c. Ferguson, an oriental ex-
pert, a witness. He is to be questioned
concerning the Shantung settlement,
which President Wilson said yesterday
was disappointing to him.

WAR ON RETAILER

and show them the government means
business. 1 don't believe wholesale
prosecutions will be necessary, but we
are ready. to carry that out If neces-
sary -
which every person should sell goods
is a very forward step, and I have no
hope that 1t could be passed thru con-
gress and put into effect before the
food control act expires, which is on
the proclamation of peace by the
president"
The attorney general, in order to
reach the retailers, suggested that the
exemptions of all retailers doing
business Of less than 100000 be
stricken from the federal food control
act.
Exempt Farmers From boarding Act.
Regarding the farmers and farm or
ganization, Palmer said he would ex-
empt them from the boarding provi-
sions, as he believed they should be
allowed to hold their crops until they
desired to sell. but that he wished to
enforce the proffteering laws against
them.
.NThe attorney general declared that
already profiteering in sugar has par
tica1ly been stopped by the depart
ment of justice.
He stated that the thrity-six state
food administrators of war times have
agreed to cooperate with the depart
ment in naming fair prices for the
various communities.
Palmer. il was believed, would re-
veal some of the facts now known to
be in possession Of the department of
E5ustice concerning the manufacture of
cloth and clothing. Sci.
Cloths Up 100 Per Cent.
Clothing generally has increased 100
per cent in price in three years, gov
eminent statistics show.
The federal trade commission has
figures showing the cost of manufac-
turing many articles of clothing.
These cost figures are below retail
| prices of mems suits, shirts, hats,
shoes and a score of other articles of
4 apparel. These figures also are avail
/ able for use by Palmer.
Palmer late yesterday returned to
] Washington from a weekend trip to
/ Pennsylvania and New York to confer
| with senate agriculture committee in
his offices. The senate committee
has also considered Palmer's proposed
amendments before it. Before the
house committee today Palmer will
tell also of the need to broaden his
nationwide profiteerings and food
boarding Investigations.
Fight for jail Penalty.
One amendment provides a Jail SEN
tence for food profiteers. which Pal
mer plans to fight hard to get passed.
: No penalty is provided for punishment

Mexico City. Aug. 2o.-Sensational
reports that the British charge daft

persona non grata with the Mexican
government. were denied at the foreign
office yesterday
The correspondent was told that
Carranza merely had notified the var

that Cummings had no official stand
ing. because of the attitude of the
British government in refusing to rec
