TREATY OR NO TREATY.
(From the New York World.

/ (FrOm the New York WOrld.)
I There can be no treaty Of peace sc
far as this session of the Senate is
concerned.
Senator Lodges resolution of ratifi-
cation, with its fifteen reservations
died an inglorious death yesterday. In
revenge Lodge and his associates sue
ceeded in blocking every attempt at
compromise and Cancellation.
After wasting four months in sys-
tematically bedeviling the treaty, the
Republican leader of the Senate was
not able to muster even bare major
lily in favor of his resolution. much less
the two-thirds majority that the Con-
stitution commands.
When the test came more than q
fourth Of the Republican Senators
abandoned Lodge and his reservations.
Among them were the three Senators
who had been used to pack the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations in order
to insure majority against the Pres
ident. Together with the other men,
bers Of the Battalion of Death they
eagerly followed Lodge in loading
down the treaty with reservations that
defeated its aims and objects, but on
the final vote they refused to support
the treaty that they had helped to mutt
late.
What the vote plainly shows Is that
there are two-thirds Of the Senators
who are in favor OF the ratification Of
the treaty. All that stands in the way
is an agreement on the character and
scope Of the reservations. which could
be settled very. quickly II partisanship
and personal vanity were subordfnated
to the colossal concerns Of national
and international welfare. That agree
ment could have been reached II It.
had not been for the Lodge policy Of
rule or, ruin, Whether it can ever be
reached now remains to be seen.
The United States helped to win
war. Il helped to negotjsss
j victorious peace. II the United
States cannot ratify that peace the
Senate has made itself 9 menace to
he welfare OF mankind and the Unit
ID States stands discredited as a ma
ion.

WHAT is A DOLLAR.

In this country Is As grains OF
gold nine-tenths fine is a dollar, and
also our unit Of value. The average
man persists in thinking that "a dol
lar is dollar" notwithstanding the
fact that the value Of a dollar, the pur-
chasing power Of a dollar, changes as
often as the quantity of dollars in the
country increases or decreases.
Our gold coins are used SO little that
they can hardly be called a medium Of
exchange. Checks, bank drafts and
paper substitutes for money are gem
orally used in the transaction Of bust
ness. Gold, however, is our unit OF
value, our measure Of values and, as a
rule, all values change with the vol
ume OF money in the country. When
that volume increases, there is a cor
responding increase in the price of
everything the value of which is meas
ured in dollars and cents. And, for a
similar reason, prices shrink with
every shrinkage in the volume Of

WANT GERMANS TO
 REMAIN AT HOME

London,s March so.-London bushes men and British manufacturers whose plants arc located outside of London are alarmed lest the Germans should again obtain a profitable foothold in the coun- try, and wide publicity is being given all informa ton which tends to show that Germany again expects to do business here. The latest is the publication Of labels which Germans have prepared for the expected trade, and which have been sent to London by soldiers with the army of occupation at Coblenz.
 Superior scissors made of the best double refined cast steel. Made in Ger many" reads one label, and "Finest hol- low ground razors set ready for use. war. ranted; made in Germany" is another. Still others carry the guarantee Of the German manufacturing firm, and all Of them bear the place of origin.
 According to an announcement by the Board of Trade, the regulations against the importation of German goods in Great Britain are still in force, and there IS no danger of a German trade invasion un- ti, these have been removed. The British are jealously guarding their home trade from the Germans.

.L|BERTYS ARE QUICKLY SOLD.
Cars Difference Wins Buy CTS in First Minutes of
 Demonstration

"A surprising fact about the selling Of Liberty cars,'' says Arthur Speights, di- rector of sales of the DeShazo Motor Car company, lis that so many sales are closed in the first fifteen minutes of demonstration.
 "A first ride in the Liberty is always accompanied by remarks about its ease of handling. the convenience of it's con trols and it's riding and driving differ ence.
 'There are very definite reasons for this difference. The Liberty originated from the desire to build a car that would be more nearly like the car that the average owner would build for himself if it were possible for him to construct his own automobile.
 ''In response to what would naturally be his first requirement. Liberty cars were made thoroughly good. They were made easy to drive. comfortable to ride in and easy to maintain, says MT. Speights.
 seThe average owner drives his own car He must sit in a certain position, must operate certain controls in driv- ing. and do certain things in order to keep his car in good operating condf- ton. The Liberty designers were scrup- uOuSlY exact III ulLlH6 tiiC oiotS eNAAN width of seats to afford the utmost com fort They were just as exacting in determining the angle of the steering wheel, and the position of pedals and levers so that the drivers convenience would be assured. And the care neces- sary to insure maintenance of the car running condition was reduced to an ab- solute minimum through the simplifying of construction and the fixing of such a high standard of quality as to do away with the need for frequent atten- ton.
 .'These precautions have resulted most notably in riding and driving differ ence which is the most frequently com mented on quality of Liberty cars and one most appreciated by Liberty own CTS. It it the quality most certain to attract one who is unacquainted with the Liberty, because of the positive rar- ity of this exceptional riding and driving enjoyment. It's radical difference and unusual charm usually lead to quick ap- precation and another sale'

GOOD ROADS ARE
 BEST INVESTMENT
Public Improvements Will Effect Reduction in the
 Cost of Living

Food products were never higher priced or more needed than they were this past year, and yet the food admin istration states that one-half of our per ishable produce routed on the ground for lack of transportation facilities" said George C. Hubbs, assistant general sales manager, Dodge Brothers, Detroit such a waste would be unheard of in Europe. It would spell national disaster. And at first thought it seems remarkable that it should be true of the country which has 229,951 miles of railroad as against 349Ss1 miles for all the rest of the world put together, and 6,0o0,000 mo- tor vehicles as against approximately 4<00Oo for the rest of the world.
 But we must remember that all this great network of railroads and water ways might as well not exist, so far as the farmer located five miles back in the country is concerned, unless he is able to advantageously haul his produce over that five miles to the nearest ship ping point As Secretary Redfield re- gently put it, You might build the rail- roads up until they are ten tracks wide, but you do not fully help the farmer ten miles away to get his produce to market And you might fill the rivers with steamers, and he may still be iso- lated
 Motor cars and motor trucks are a partial solution. But they are not enough. To use them adyantageously requires good roads as well, over which the farmer can haul his produce in mo- tor vehicles directly to the consumer where possible, or else to the nearest shipping point. There never was sounder investment in the world than money expended in the building of good roads. The Romans had learned that two thousand years ago. and they built their roads so well that some of them are used yet.
 Certainly one of the surest ways to reduce the high cost of living is to build more good roads. And the build now" campaign, which Mir. Wilson. secretary of commerce and labor, has recently started should receive the hearty SUD- port of everybody"

METAL FISH HELPED TRACK
 GERMAN U-BOATS

In the December issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine is found an in teresting sequel to the story of the two submarine-hunting sea lions, told in it's July number. The venture was remarkable in itself, says the maga- zine; yet even more so is a mechani- cal application developed from the ex- periments. Sea lions were found to have their limitations; the personal equation" was toop rominent. So, hollow bodies, shaped like seals or porpoises, with hydrophones. The metal fish was filled with water and lowed by vessel of the submarine patrol. Inclosed in the towing cable were wires which led to sensitive tele- phone transmitters on board the yes sel. Dragged at the end of very long towing cable to eliminate local noises, the metal fish often gave warning of enemy submarines at sur prising distances.
