UP TO THE SENATE

IA AVING been the decisiv,
III factor in winning the wa
it is now up to the United
States to accept or reject the
moral leadership of the
world" This was the gist OF
President Wilson's address tc
the senate yesterday, an adj
dress that will go into history.
For five months the president
and his colleagues labored at
Paris for just and permanent
peace. They accomplished the
task to the best of human abili-
ty and the matter is now up to
the senators.
In Paris the responsibility
was upon the president; the
responsibility is now transfer
red to the senate. How is that
duty to be met. t
In many respects the peace
treaty with the league covenant
embodied may be likened to a
great field of wheat ready for
the harvest. The thing to do
with a wheat crop is to harvest
it and make it available for hu-
man needs. Will the senate do
this with the treaty or will the
obstructionists go about with
spy glasses looking not at the
golden grain but for weeds
that are sure to be there, for
ant holes and other defects not
of much consequence?
1t is doubtless true that the I
situation in the senate is much
better than it was a few weeks
ago. The people of the coun-
try have faith in the business
of the treaty and they are pro-
foundly in favor of the League
of Nations plan. The senate
has heard from the people and
that august body VIII take no
such liberties as it planned to
take few months since.
But there is still danger for
there are those who while fear ]
ing to reject the treaty directly :
will strive to kill it by indirec-
ton. They might do this by
adopting amendatory reserva-i
tons of q nature to make the
treaty a spineless thing. IL
acceptable to the rest of the
world. y
During the war and during
peace negotiations the United
States played the role of world i
leader. We have a wonderful I.
prestige throughout the world /,
ana this esteem has been well /
earned. Is the reputation to be
sustained or thrown away be- T

Along the route, the correspondent
heard this story many times in various
forrs.
Army staffs are old military organi-
zatiors in Russia. They are mostly
young Iner, almost BOYS. Their pr;n-
cipal work seems TO be signing papers,
stacks OF them on every table. All
orders must be signed by three men
and a commissaric. The commissarie
is vital feature of every staff. He
comes from Moscow and replaces the
Sc ldiers' soviet, or council. which for
merly debated every order before il
could be carried out.

known that fomrer Emperor Will

fects of It's Use.

Hereafter persons using denatured
alcohol for beverage purposes or as
an external application will do so in
full knowledge Of the fact that it is
deadly poison and that imbibing it
is about the same as committing sui
eide.
Numerous reports reaching the bu-
reau of internal revenue of the in
creasing use of completely denatured
alcohol for these purposes have led
the bureau to issue a regulation re-
Quiring that labels of wholesale and
retail containers of such alcohol shall
bear a specific warning of the dead
ly character Of the contents.
The present labels contain the for
mula and the word poison" On the
new labels will be printed the word
''poison" and the following state
ment: Completely denatured alcohol
is a violent poison. 1t cannot be ap-
piled externally to animal or human
tissue without seriously injurious re-
suits, 1t cannot be taken internally
without inducing blindness and gem
eral physical decay. ultimately re-
sulfing in death"
There are four generally used for
mulae for the manufacture of COM
pletely denatured alcohol. each of
which renders the product unfit for
use as a beverage. Its sale for such
purpose is forbidden by law.

PEACE CONFERENCE.
French Regard Decisions as
Plastic and Ask Time for
Definite Settlement.

PARIS. France. September IA new
conception of the work of the peace
conference is being evolved by the
French. They now believe that the
decisians embodied in the various
treaties should be considered not
rigid. but plastic-that is, capable of
C h e in Interpretation with
changes in circumstances. Much criti-
cism has been leveled at the original
draft OF the Austrian treaty in par
ticuiar, because it proposed hard and
fast solutions for conditions that were
not stable.
Would Prolong Conference.
In furtherance Of their new attitude
the French believe that the confer
ence should continue it's sessions until
the league Of nations begins its
work. They advance plausible argu-
ments for their belief. The first is
that continuous sessions form the
only way of keeping the allies to-
getfrer in face of the ever growing
German menace. If ever there was
view of the growing INSTRUMENTATION
among the small nations of central
Europe to the authority of the peace
conference.
Basis of Second Argument.
The second French argument is
based on the belief that the function
of the Paris conference is not merely
to make treaties with Germany, Aus
tria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey,
but to settle the affairs of the world,
which have long been pending soiu-
ton on the docket of international
business. To do this the conference
must sit until the world calms down.
For the third and final reason the
French cite the need of arriving at
certain economic and financial agree
ments. without which the world will
never settle down. The French be-
lieve that the only way of reaching
this result is through the peace con-
ference.

The Government
Demands
Comfort and
Economy With
Security

When the Federal Reserve Bank, of
Chicago, put into commission its
"bandit proof" auto truck, fully as
formidable In appearance as an armor-
ed car, all four wheels were shod with
Goodrich De Luxe Truck Tires.
De Luxe Tires were chosen for sew
eral very definite reasons:
CD They have a higher, thicker
tread-thus give more rubber
where the wear comes.
(2) This higher tread gives more
rubber to wear away-thus more
mileage-thus more service
thus more economy.
(3) This higher tread gives greater
cushion-thus protects axles-
bearings-gears- increases
riding comfort.
The wisdom of the Governments
choice will become apparent to you if
you check the tire and gas mileage of
De Luxe users with your own.
