hIn1mediate Ratification
 OF Peace Treaty Urged

Hundred Business Men of Alabama Town Join Nation. Wide Cry for Action Underwood Hopeful Treaty Question Will Be Settled This Month-Presi-
 dents Illness Increases Difficulty
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, October 7.-(Speeial.)-fn the nation wide cry for immediate action in the peace treaty in that the Senate, having disposed of its present business, might move ,on to other important legis- lation, 100 business men of Hartselle joined today.
 The indications are that the country wants ratification, that the war might be officially ended and business permitted to resume normal operations There is evi- dence. however, that even if ratification be impossible the country wants action of certain positive character
 Senator Underwood this evening took an atti.1de much more optimistic than that of many other senators respecting the possible date of the fights conclusion. The majority believes that November will be far advanced when the work is com pleted. The Alabama senator is hopeful that the final blow might be delivered this month.
 Senator Underwood has an impression that the Shantung feature of the treaty would be voted on Friday. He thinks the republican effort to amend that feature will be defeated by majority of Il. He declares himself as convinced that all amendments will be beaten, but thinks the Presidents illness greatly enchances the difficulty the democrats will have in ob- taining a two-thrd majority vote for rati- fication.
 The clamor for a vote on the treaty comes from all states Alabama made the list complete today when Hartselle expressed itself.
