RATlFY THE TREATY
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

For nearly five years we nave
been facing such stupendous issues
that the average man and woman in
our country does not realize the mag
nitude of the crisis which Is nearly
upon us. Will or will not the Senate,
Immediately on it's receipt, ratify the
Peace Treaty, which not only includes
but is actually built upon the League
of Nations? This sounds like a.
simple question; but the progress'-
even the maintenance,-of our civil
ization depends upon the answer.
By this time it must be evident to
every thinking person that the Cove
nant of the League Of Nations can
not be torn out of the Peace Treaty;
and it must soon be realized, even by,
those whose eyes are temporarily
blinded by political antagonisms, that
an attempt to amend the Covenant at
this juncture is fraught with danger,
since the condition of many countries,
as a result of hunger and of general
war upheaval, is 80 unstable that rev.
olution may break out at almost any
moment IL peace DSlWSSu IuS AdStOhS
is not at once established.
The making now of reservations is
dangerous to the establishment Of the
League, because if the United States
either repudiates or stipulates for
special interpretations of certain arti-
cles of the Covenant, other nations
will naturally wish to do the same,
with the result that this great Magma
Charta may become devitalized and
ineffective, II it can be established at
all.
Surely even though not perfect, the
Covenant represents wonderful step
forward In the life of the world !
Therefore let US make sure that the
United States does her part by join
ing the League Of Nations at the
earliest possible moment. To this
end let every man and woman write
to our Senators at Washington, urging
them to ratify the Peace Treaty in
eluding the Covenant, without amend
ments or reservations.

Hot One for LAWYERS

Here Is a hot one on lawyers and a
certain sort of sportsman.
An attorney was arrested for violat-
ing the game laws-catching 1e fish
out Of season. He pleaded guilty. but
when $50 per fish was the fine i'm
posed he withdrew his plea and got a
brother lawyer to defend him. The
jury, In spite Of the plea of guilty,
brought in q verdict finding him guilty
of catching one fish only, and fixed the
fine at $40. One Of the jurors ex-
planned to the angry game warden as
follows:
eyes, we knew he pleaded guilty
and admitted catching 10 fish. But
the jury, you know, were all Of the
same mind. He was lawyer AND a
fisherman"

Prohibition In LIthuanIa.

Prohibition, which grew up over
night in America, has long been an is
sue in Lithuania, the small Baltic re-
public that is asking for a self-govern-
ment that It has long demonstrated its
ability to use. Lithuania has q small
brewery and a still in almost every
home. It has little intoxication. And
it has a prohibition society with 172

LOSE COMMERCE

Divert Trade to

The life of New York as Americas
leading export port is menaced by
the pending rivers and harbors bill.
according to the statement of the
New York delegation to the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress.
The delegation charges that a plot
exists between shrewd Canadians
and representatives of four West
eTn States who desire to see their
lake ports get ocean-going ships, to
seize the trade of New York and
New England.
Shall the St. Lawrence River,
with Great Britain controlling its
mouth. become the American Darda-
nclles?" asked the delegation yester-
day. They declared that it would II
an amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill now before the Senate
becomes a law. The amendment
provides that 4 joint commission of
American and Canadian government
representatives be appointed to de-
termine the cost of providing an
ocean waterway from Lake Erie to
the sea by way of the St. Lawrence.
IF this project is adopted" said
former State Senator Hill, spokes-
man of the New York delegation. "it
would mean that $4,000 900 tons of
commerce annually. would be divert
ed from its natural American route
to the Canadian route 1t would
ruin New York. All the vast sup
plies of grain which come from Du-
luth and other lake ports would be

SOLDIERS WORK
WITH LAB0RERS
Senator La Toilette Calls
for Investigation Into
Army Policy.

Investigation of the practice of maxi
ing regular army soldiers work with
civilian employees getting $3.50 per day
may follow the Introduction of reso-
luton by Senator La Follettee, of
Wisconsin, yesterday.
The army camp at Gum Springs
near Alexandria and Camp Humph-
Teys, Va. were the two military posts
where such practices are said to pre-
vail and where commanding officers
are charged by the men with refusal
to receive applications for discharge
from the men.
Senator Weeks declared that if Of
1cers are refusing to receive \appli-
cations from mon entitled to dis
charge they are liable 10 military CEN
sure for violation of the regulations
La Toilette introduced his resolution
on bchalf OF the men in the Motor
transport Corps who claim that since
August Il last they have been engaged
IN building roads instead of work with
motor vehicles. They claim they work
from ten to twelve hours a day for
the regular private's pay alongside of
colored laborers who receive $3.50 for
an eight-hour day.
After the reference of the resolution
to the Military Affairs Committee
members of the Virginia delegation in
the House explained informally that
the men had been engaged in rcstor-
ing motor roads which had. been dam
aged through traffic of the heavy
army trucks.
This complaint is only one of a
number where soldiers aver their ap-
plications for discharge have been dis
couraged because they are doing
work for the army which the com
manding officers would find it diff
cult to have done should their dis
charge be granted.

When Swift & Company paid, say,-13
dollars per hundredweight for live beef cat
