In making this information public,
Doctor Khan stated: "The Persian
government has net officially asked for

for help for my countrymen. As a hu.

you dress as quickly as possible and
take her in with you for little

There was no immediate response
from the inside. Then Miss Thackeray

great sigh of relief.

Washington.-Fhe first open move
for a compromise in the League OF
Nations fight came from administra-
zion quarters, embraced in propos-
al that The Senate adopt interpreter
tive resolutions but that they be kept
apart from the actual ratification Of
the treaty
The overture met with no immedi-
ate response on the Republican side
of the chamber. Senators of the Re.
publican reservation group said they
could not recede from their position
that to be effective the reservations
must go into the ratification.
Senator Pittman of Nevada, a Dem
ocratie member of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, presented the COM
promise proposal in the fern of "a res
olution embodying in effect the four
reservations agreed on by seven Re
publican senators and declaring them
to constitute the Senate's under
standing of disputed points in the
covenant
In the Republican draft, however
it is expressly provided that the res
ervations "be made part of the
treaty by the instrument of ratifca-
ton" a proyiso which Senator Me
Nary of Oregon and others of che
group of seven Republicans said they
considered absolutely necessary il
enough Republican votes are to be
gained to secure ratification of the
treaty.

MEET DEMANDS OF TRAFFIC
Construction of Freak Highways
Should Be stopped--Permanency
Should BE Sought

J. J. Hill, in a speech in Minne-
apolis. January %, 1910, said If the
problem Of the railroad terminals be
neglected for the next five years as
it has for the last ten, it viii blight
every form Of activity by paralyzing
the whole trade"
w. C. Brown. president Of the New
York Central lines, said November s,
1912: IF cars are kept in motion at
the average speed Of freight trains at
at present time, they would make on
the average four times the mileage
they do now. The trouble is The cars,
as rule, are held longer to load and
unload than the time involved in the
actual movement of the cars7--that is,
the terminal had the railroad by the
throat and was choking three-quarters
of its efficiency out Of it. The predie-
ton Of Hill was absolutely correct.
A period Of acute congestion in rail-
road transportation had already set In
