SURE SENATE
WILL RATIFY
Senator Hitchcock Expresses Confidence
to New York Friends--only Doubt
on Phraseology.

Boston, July 2S.--The Senate will rati-
fly the league of nations covenant with
out amendment, but may qualify its en-
dorsement, Senator Hitchcock of Nebras
ka, ranking Democratic member of the
Senate committee on foreign relations,
asserted Saturday. He was addressing
informally a group of friends and news
paper men at the Union club, having
stopped here on the way to his summer
home at Swampscott.
The senator said he represented 46
Democratic and five or six Republican
senators who stood against any amend
ment He felt certain that every amend
ment proposed would be beaten by from
six to IL votes. The only doubt about
the Senate's action, in his opinion, was
the question of the phrsseology of the
resolution of ratification, which might
contain qualifying terms.
If any qualifications or interpreta-
tions are made" he said, they must be
made under the approval of President
Wilson, who is in communication with
the other nations involved"
The senator thought that any qualifi-
cation regarding the Monroe doctrine
would fail of a majority and he added
that there would be difficulty also in OBJ
tanning a majority on any particular
reservation.
"There are 10 to 25 Republican SEN
ators in sympathy with the league Of ma.
tions idea" Senator Hitchcock estimat-

TO HIDE EX-KAISER'S FACE.
Photos, Chromos and Busts Are to Be
Placed Out Of Sight.

Berlin, July 27 Correspondence of the
Associated Press The question wheth-
er photos, chromos or busts of the de-
throned German emperor are to be toll
Grated in official buildings and public
schools, has come up again for discussion
before the Prussian diet which was
informed by Konrad Haenisch, the
minister of education, that, despite his
efforts to leave the delicate task to the
tact and Judgment Of the respective Off
Gals, numerous instances have been re-
ported TO his ministry to the effect that
the Hohenzollern emblems, once removed,
have been ostentatiously restored
This prompted him to issue new edict
which orders the definite removal of such
pictures and other reminders with the
exception of art products.
Haenisch was applauded by the left
when he declared that the reminders of
"old kaiser days" could be no more toll
Grated than we're the republican emblems
under the old regime.
He suggested that the iconoclastic OPP
erations should proceed with as little
demonstration as possible and recon-
mended teachers to use their summer
vacation for the job of packing up the
painted, etched and marbled Hohenzol-
lern.

The Next United States Senate.

The continued control OF the United
States Senate will be Of special impor.
lance for the Republican party, particu-
larly if that party should elect its can
didate for the presidency of the United
States in 1920. The same thing is true
of the House of Representatives, but we
desire TO speak with special reference to
the Senate this morning. As starting
point in consideration of the possibility
of changed senatorial control, we must
begin with prospects in the present body.
According to the Congressional Direc-
tory for 1919 dealing with the first SEES
sion Of the Goth Congress, the terms of
80 senators viii expire on March 3, 1921.
OF these IL are Democrats and Is Repub-
lican, so that the Democrats will lose
two more members by expiration of
terms than will the Republicans,
The Democratic senator's whose terms
will expire in 1921 are: j. C. Beckham of
Kentucky, George f. Chamberlain of
Oregon, Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida,
Edward j. Gay of Louisiana, Thomas p.
Gore of Oklahoma, Charles B. Henderson
of Nevada, Edwin S. johnson of South
Dakota, William F. Kirby of Arkansas,
John f. Nugent of Idaho, Lee S. Over
man of North Carolina, James ID. Phelan
of California, Ellison d. Smith of South
Carolina, Hoke Smith of Georgia, John
Walter Smith of Maryland, Marcus A
Smith of Arizona, Charles S. Thomas of
Colorado, and Oscar Underwood of Ala
bama
The Republican senator's whose terms
viii expire in 1921 are: Frank B. Bran
degee of Connecticut Albert s. Cummings
of Iowa, Charles Curtis of Kansas, VIII
liam r. Dillingham; Of Vermont, AISLE j.
Gronna of North Dakota, Warren G
Harding of Ohio, Wesley L. Jones of
Washington, Irvine l.. Lenroot of Wis
cousin, George H. Moses of New Hamp-
shire, Boies Penorse of Pennsylvania,
Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois, Reed
Smoot of Utah, Seldom p. Spencer of
Missouri, James w. Wadsworth, ir., of
New York, and James i. Watson of In
diana.
1t can thus be seen that the list in
cludes some of the long time leaders of
both political parties. 1t includes sure
Republican states, as well as states Ger
tain to return Democratic members. On
the whole, however, unless political
revolution occurs in 1920, the next Sen
ate is likely to be controlled by the

Some Day the Horseless City.

When New York becomes a horseless
city, as 1t is rapidly doing, the oppor-
tunities of our poorer children for ra
ture study will be stiil further restricted.
Many have never seen cows or pigs, ex.
cept those killed, dressed and ready for
the purchaser. II is going to be sad
day for the young when the horse ceases
to clatter about our streets. Already
he has left his place in front of the
street car and is almost rarity in the
fire service Thus much romance has
been taken out Of the lives of some
of the young who have small chance Of
observing our domestic animals
How rapidly the horse is disappearing
is shown convincingly by recent figures
In March, 1917, there were in the dive
boroughs of the city l0S,036 horses
while by March of this year that number
had dwindled to 75,740, which is truly an
astonishing decrease. Brooklyn dropped
from 34,s92 to 23,6s0 horses in that pc.
Rod. It is not because horses are worth
more money that they are decreasing
in numbers here, but because by COMPARE
son with the all.conquering motor car
they are worth great deal less For
certain work and certain roads, and for
most farming the horse is still king, but
for hauling on good highways and for
delivery service in the city he is fast
being forced out Of sight.
Regretfully as some people will regard
the eclipse of the horse here, there are
compensations which ought not to be
overlooked. Fewer horses mean fewer
flies, and fewer flies mean less sickness.
When the health authorities talk about
lower infantile death rate and credit
the result to their activities they should
not forget the part the diminishing horse
population has played.-Brooklyn Stand
