THINKING PEOPLE BEGINNING
 TO PONDER ON SENATE DELAYS

Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.-In shape in which the covenant of the League of Nations, to say nothing of the remainder of the Peace Treaty, will be passed by the Senate, the thinking men and women of the na- ton are beginning to ponder the ef- fects on America if a severe mutila- tion-such as Is being urged by Sen ator Lodge and others-should pre- vail.
 One of the leading economic and financial authorities of the upper house of Congress is Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, whose name, together with that of Garter Glass, now secretary of the treasury, is at- tached to the pre-emin ently success full Federal Reserve banking system. This question was put to him by some newspaper men in response to re- quests from their readers for an au- thoritative answer:
 What would be the effect, nnan- cialiy and commercially, of a failure of Treaty ratificaton?"
 To which Senator Owen replied, am pifying the query to cover other possibilities, as follows:
 'If the Republican leadership should be able to hold over a third of the Senate to destructive reservations the Treaty would be defeated and come very evil consequences might ensue-
 'EFirst-AI damages done by Ger many to the United States and to United States citizens in Germany, and at sea and land. would be unset tled-covering hundreds of millions of dollars.
 'rSecond-Germanyw would have unset tied claims against the United States for all German citizen property taken by the United States; claims for all German ships, docks, etc., etc, ex- ceeding probably a billion dollars.

OIL WILL BE FUEL
 FOR BIGGEST SHIPS
Foreign Agents Concerned by Order Restricting Coal
 Supply to American Ships

New York, Nov. 11.-To avoid in the future the difficulties now ex- perienced because of the coal strike, several large steamship companies, 1t was learned yesterday, have begun plans for the conversion of their ves- sels to oil burners. The transport Leyiathan is to be made an oil burner by the Government.
 The companies now considering this change control a total of 1,75O vessels, and 1t Is estimated that the conversion will effect g. saving of 240,- 100000 tons of coal year.
 The United States Shipping Board office here announced yesterday in this connection that it had engaged the White Fuel Oil Engineering Cor poratton to transform into oil burners the Aeolus, De -Kalb, Huron, Am phion, Suwanee and Otsego, some of which have done transport duty.
 The United Fruit Company, which has made an oil burner user of the Metapan, Is now preparing to do the same with the Troy, which, as the Minnesota, was the largest American passenger ship before the war.

NEBRASKA REPEALS
 HER IA YEAR : OLD
 ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW

New York, April 4.-(special.) )-The thousands of soldiers from the state of Nebraska returning from France will be overjoyed to learn that they can now smoke cigarettes in their home state and derive the same cheer and pleasure from these little comforters amid the surround ing of home as they did in the trenches before No Mans I<and.' The action of the state of Nebraska in repeating her anti-cigarette law, which has been sev- eral years in force is highly significant at the present time. Popular sentiment in favor of the cigarette as result of its wonderful war record as human solace without equal and popular reaction against all forms of prohibition that in- fringe upon what the people consider as their "inaienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are un- doubtedly the reasons that have influ- enced the Nebraska legislators in repeal ing this jaw at this time.
 This repeating of Nebraska's anti-cigar- ette law is undoubtedly the first official voice of the American people expressing their will through official channels of government against too much prohibition that exceeds beyond moderate bounds and infringes on their personal liberties. This anti-prohibition sentiment on the part of the people is said to be crystal lizing rapidly in many parts of the coun- try and will find expression in the near future in many different ways.
