LODGE FRONT AS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. UNITED
Press The Senate today plunged into
what many members hope will be the
last week Of this session-and Of the
prolonged treaty fight.
While little encouragement is given to
this view by the mass Of reservations
still to be voted on, there was a belief
in some quarters that administration
leaders having attacked the Lodge front
repeatedly without even denting 1t, will
suddenly switch their actics, call of the
fight on the majority reservations, al
low these TO go through without OPP
position and centre their struggle on
defeating the completed resolutions Of
ratification. The chief obstacle to this
plan is the question as 10 whether re-
Iectlon OF the resolution OF the ratiflca-
tion will automatically kill the treaty.
Senator Hitchcock contends that IL will
not and that once the Lodge resolution
is beaten he will be free to propose his
own. He will take no chances, how
ever, until this point is definitely set
tied and until he had pledges Of enough
mild reservationists on the Republican
side to insure that the chair will be

After the long, dull, dismal days Of
continuous rain, this fine. frosty, open
weather is a great relief to most Of us.
The only exception to this rule known
about Wilmington is a man who works
outside in a local shipyard. and who
always turns over and sleeps three
more hours on rainy morning. He
has no excuse these days.
For the last three nights there have
been heavy frOsts. This morning those
who arose early enough saw a thick
white deposit on the roofs, and hoary
on the grass blades below in the back
yards.

The frost will not hurt anything but be-
lated flowers and the yet green grass,
which, after all, is but the normal order
Of things. Have you noticed, while
speaking Of grass. how late the grass has
retained its brilliant green this year?
This, Of course, is due to the excep-
tional rainfall of the summer and au-
tumn.
Out in the country most Of the leaves
have sough the earth, but the maple
and weeping willow trees still flour

Encouraging reports OF what the pub

was made today by Dr. Clifford J. Scott,
superintendent OF schools. Dr. Scott
prophecied that the city public schools
would enroll at least 1900 members
in the junior memberships. This is
fully up TO last year. He said that each
school building would have its own
auxiliary organization, and that the
children were just as enthusiastic, per-
haps more so this year than last, when
they had the impetus that went With
the war with them.
The local campaign at some indus
trial plants has not been so successful
as was hoped for, because Of the deci-
sion OF the management not to permit

to sell memberships outside the gates,
