French Premier Delivers His Long-Expected Speech iii Deaate
 on Ratification
BY Associated Prsu

5aaris, September 25.-Prenier Clem- eneeau delivered his long expected speech in the debate on the ratifica- tion of, the peace treaty in the Cham Der of Deputies this afternoon. The whole trend of his argument in favor of the treaty was that the treaty was one of solidarity betwHen allies, who united in war. must be united in peace
 NJ. CIemenceau admitted that the treaty contained many imperfections but said 1t was the continuation of the work of the coalition of liberation" the first of it's sort in the history of the world as the treaty was the dawn of a new era. He recalled the dark days of 1917, and declared to the op- ponents of the treaty that if peace proposal had been ratified then, Alsace and Lorraine to France. no Frenchman would have demanded the insertion of any other clause. but would have ac- cepted it.
 The treaty brought back more than the lost provinces; it placed France on the highest pinnacle of fame and honor, and in a few years would bring pros- perity.
 Those who had spoken in the debate, the prenier pointed out had criticized
 the details of the treaty, which must
 be considered. accepted or rejected as .>a whole, whether the instrument was helpful or harmful to France. The treaty was the ensemble of possibili- tjes'' which was worth what the future truline classes of France would make 1t by their labor
 TREMENDOUS EFFORT The premier S effort was tremendous. He remained on the tribune for more than two hours Many times he seemed to weaken, his voice becoming so low as to be almost inaudible beyond the first row of government benches. But he waved off the advice from all guar ters of the chamber of rest ana dos l sedly continued to display hls indomlt- able spirit He passed lightly over the i,criticisrn which has been prominent in inc debate that the French language 1 is not the official language of the | treaty. saying:

 mier's request for vote on the treaty 1 today, for while M. Clemenceau was l speaking Several deputies inscribed l their names on President DeschanePs $ list as participants in the debate M 1 Clemenceau warned the chamber tha' | if it refused to ratify the treaty, ii would make the instrument of death tc France. while if the chamber ratified the instrument France would become l imbued with it's spirit. which woule mean the life and resurrection of tht

New York, September 25. After being shown an Asso. cis ed Press dispatch quoting John Fitzpatrick, director gen. eral of the steel strike, as saying the walkout would end immedi- ately if the United States Steel corporation would arbitrate differences, Ebert H. Gary, di. recting head of the corpora ton, declared in a statement tonight, speaking for himself that he believed the board of directors "cannot negotiate oi confer with Fitzpatrick or his associates"
 MT. Gary issued the following statement,
 .'The board of directors of the United States Steel corporation Arss tne FGpTcSrutAoNCH hCnTAy iJO,OOO stockholders. including from 10000 to .O.OO0 employees, said the statement. "We are servants and nre selected to rep resent and protect their interests. and nIso the interests of all our SJO,OOO employees, the majority of whom I think are not members of labor unions.
 'Moreover. I believe our cor poratfon is under great obligations to the general public concerning the issues involved in the pending strike. In these circumstances would not at present assume to answer the question propounded to me.
 However. I will say for myself that questions of moral principle capot be arbitrated nor compro- missed, as in my opinion such ques- tiOns are included in the present unfortunate struggle.

GREAT PROPHET OF PEACE

The President was introduced at the meeting here by Alva Adams, former governor of Colorado, who eulogized Mir. Wilson as twentieth century Paul' and the greatest prophet of peace.''
 In his address the President said the chief pleasure of his countrywide trip was that it had nothing to do with his personal fortunes.
 He repeated his charge that an 'unor- ganized propaganda was opposing the treaty and that it proceeded from "hy- phens."
 Any man who carries a hyphen about him. he said, Carries a dagger which he is ready to plunge into the vitals of the republic. If I can catch a man with hyphen in this great contest I will know that I have caught an enemy of the republic"
 Reviewing the treaty provisions, the President stressed the self-determination and labor features. asserting that if the treaty failed there would be no great international tribunal before which labor could bring it's requests for better con. ditionS.

 WIRES PRESIDENT
Johnson Announces He Will Leave for Pacific Coast Today to Resume Attack
 on Treaty-Vote on
 Amendment Delayed
B. Assoolated Press

Washington, September 25. While the German peace treaty received only brief considera- tion in the Senate today, out side developments indicated that the factions were lining up for the real fight over the league of nations covenant.
 The outstanding feature of the day was the announcement by Senator Johnson, republican, of California that he would leave here tomorrow for the Pacific coast to keep up his attack on the treaty which was accepted to mean finally that his proposed amend ment to equalize the voting power of the unlted States and Great Britain would nor be called up for weeks hence
 Next in public interest was the news that Senator Ashurst. democrat, of Arizona had telegraphed President Will son that he would vote for ratification of the treaty, believing he could render the country and the world. he said, a great service by accepting it as it is, without amendment or reservation. This definite statement from Senator Ashurst was considered particularly as surfing by democratic leaders because of persistent reports that be would op- pose the pact in its present form.
 tf.,. Lenroot, republican. of Wisconsin made his position clear by reiterating that he would not vote to ratify the treaty if under article 10 the Unied States was obliga ted-to send it's troops abroad to preserve the territorial integrity of oemhers of the lea pue.

NEW AND SMITH DEBATE

Senator New, republican, of-1 Indiana and Senator Smith, democrat. of Mary land, divided the debate of the day, the former attacking the treaty and the latter defending it and urging speedy ratification. But there was no applause, the galleries evidently taking to heart the previous warning of the vice pres ident that this would result in eJee- tion of those violating the standing rule of the Senate.
 In the House. where treaty. talk bobs up now and then Representative King, republican, Illinois introduced reso- lution proposing the support of the body for the sena tors standing foi Americanisn." The resolution was thrown into the House hopper without discussion.
 Under unanimous consent agreemen' the amendments by Senator Fall. repub- lican of New Mexico, proposing that the United States be relieved from ser vice on foreign commissions created under the treaty will be taken<up to- morrow for discussion.

MAKES TWO SPEECHES

In two addresses in Colorado during the day Mir Wilson reiterated again and again that the whole controversy had re- solved itself into a clear-cut question whether the United States should go into the league of nations or stay out It was time, he said, that the nation knew where it was to stand.
 I Meanwhile White House officials in the presidential party permitted it to become known that proposed reservations which the President quoted at Salt Lake City and Cheyenne, and which he announced he would regard a rejection of the treaty, was one he had been informed was agreed on by several republican Sen- ate leaders.
 The Presidents first speech of the day
 was at a morning meeting in Denver, and
 | later he addressed a crowd which filled
 1 the municipal hall here. Cheers many
 1 times interrupted his declarations at the
 I two meetings. and in both cities a con-
 stant din of cheering greeted him as he
 passed through the streets.

Fight for Pact is Reduced to Direct Issue and Senate Frankly Told to Take Def mite, Unmistakable Stand One Way or Other
Rv Axsoclated proSy

Peublo, Col, September 20. Reducing his fight for the
 peace treaty to a direct issue ot acceptance or rejection, Presi-
 dent Wilson today invited the
 Senate to take a definite and
 unmistakable stand one way or
 the other.
 President Wilson arrived here on board his special train at o'clock today and
 was taken, with the members of his
 party for drive through the state fair grounds, where fair is in progress. He was then taken to the Memorial auditorium, where he spoke to large and enthusiastic audience.
 After declaring it would be his duty as chief executive to judge whether the Senate's action constituted acceptance or rejection, should reservations be incor-
 porated in the ratification. the President added a warning that he did not con- sider qualified adoption as adoption in fact. He said, however, that he saw no objection to more interpretations

ONLY OBJECTION


 and the debate had settled down upon the "heart of the covenant"-the cele- brated article ten under which the league members agree to respect and preserve one another's territorial in tegrity as against external aggres- sion. There was nothing worth while considering in the other objectings, he said.
 Article ten said the President. was based on the sentiments not only of the American people, but of the world. Referring to his famous fourteen points of peace, which he said only spoke the entiment of the American people, Mir Wilson declared that programme had been accepted everywhere that he had crossed the ocean under bond" and carried out the peace plan which every one had endorsed.
 The President also read a quotation by Theodore Roosevelt urging that the nations of the world unite for peace and to protect territorial integrity.
 U. S. TOO PROUD
 Mr. Wilson was applauded when he said the United States was "too proud to ask for reservations which would relieve it of some of the responsibili- ties other nations assume under the league"
 There was more applause when he said he was fighting for the safety of the children and would exert all his influence to see that another gem eration would not have to go overseas in arms.
 It was the dearest wishes" of Ger many, he said, that the United States should stay out of the league because that would mean the alienation of this country from the other recent enemies of German autocracy.

LIGHT FOR LABOR

 Going on to the league of nations cove
 nant, he declared it was necessary for
 carrying out the peace terms. For the
 same reason, he asserted, the covenant
 would be incorporated in the treaties
 with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and
 Serbia, now under negotiation at Yer sailles.
 The real power of action, he said was in the council, whose decisions must be unanimous.
 Paying a tribute to the British colo nies, the President asked whether Canada was not more likely to agree with the United States than with Great Britain. He made plea that Ian guage of jealousy" be swept aside and that Americans should be "big enough to look at the question in its true light. The President went into the Shan tung settlement at length, declaring it was the league of nations which would give China her opportunity to free herself from the inroads made upon her by other nations. The disposition of Shantunf he said was the best that could be obtained at that time.

DEMAND GROWS FOR
PURITY MARGARINE

The sales OF oleomargarine have in
creased tremendously In late years
During the revenue year ending June
30th. 1918, 3iS,I76,6i9 pounds OF oleo-
margarine were churned IN the United
States That Is an Increase OF 9i,i2o,-
zgs pounds over the 22403IS2l pounds
produced in i9i7--an increase Of nearly
30 per cent
What Is The reason for the ever-in-
creasing popularity Of oleoma.garine
II Is simply the fact that people are
Just beginning 10 really appreciate the
merits Of one Of The most wholesome
food products In all The world.
When the war sent the price Of but
ter soaring skyward, housewives began
to think more than ever Of margarine.
The old-tlme prejudice vanished. Peo-
pie bought -oleomargarine the frst time
perhaps with Just little hesitation
liked it-and then continued 10 buy II
regularly.
Liked u so well that there are thou
sands upon thousands OF women today
who will never go back to butter-no
matter what the drop In price.
They have learned TO known oleomar-
earine for what it really is. Not once
or twice do they buy II, but regularly
throughout the year--thus saving. at
the very least. a third OF what they
ordinarily pay Tor butter.
And these are the days when every
housewife must make every penny
count
The buying OF oleomargarine is real
economy because one saves money
without losing one b't OF fine flavor or
quality. Even during wartime, oleo-
ma earine dd not advance In price any
thing like butter.
For instance--the advance IN the price
Of creamery butter from 1917 10 1919,
according to the Elgln basis, was
26 Bloc per pound.
0leomargarine. on the other hand,
advanced but few cents. Purity
0leomarearine, for Instance advanced
only &c per pound from September,
1917, to October. 1918
Dr. Harvey Wiley puts Il this way;
"The components used In the manu-
fscture Of oleomargarlne, when prop
erly made, are all wholesome and d.
gestible materials sucn as are consumed
IA eating various food products. II
does not appear, therefore, that any
valid objection can be made against the
