moves toward compromise negotia-
tions are planned until congress re-
convenes.
In statement late today Senator
Hitchcock predicted that, with re-
submission of the treaty by the presi-
dent, compromise could be effect
ed between senators favoring rati-
fication in some form. concessions
on both sides must be real and not
merely nominal" he said.
If resubmitted, the treaty would
come before the senate practically
as new business and debate on it
would not be governed by the clo-
ture rule invoked in the closing days
at the session just adjourned.
May Declare War at End.
Should the president fail to re-
submit the pact promptly when con-
gress reassembles, it was believed
the republican leaders would with
out delay take up Senator Lodges
resolution, introduced last night aft
er the treaty had failed Of ratifl-
cation, proposing that congress de-
clare concurrence by the house. On
this question there also is division
of opinion, democratic leaders hold
ing that such a resolution would
have to be approved by the presi-
dent to become effective and repub-
licans holding that presidential ap-
proval would not be necessary.
Decision of the senate last night to
lay aside the treaty came after two
attempts to ratify it with the foreign
relations committees reservations
attached, and one attempt to adopt
it without reservations of any sort
all had failed. The first vote on the
treaty with reservations attached
showed 80 for and SIS against. The
second, which came several hours
later, showed Al for and 81 against.
The vote on straight ratification re-
corded only Ss for and So against.
Although not changing technically
the existing status of relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, the senate's failure to ratify
the peace treaty at its special ses-
sion is expected by administration
officials and diplomats to have, an in
direct result of some Importance
on the steps now being taken to
restore the world to a peace basis.
To Hasten Move at Paris.
One of the first consequences, ac-
cording to the view taken here, is
likely to be the fastening Of the
negotiations in Paris, including pro-
mitigation of the process verbale,
which will restore full commercial
and diplomatic relations between
Germany and the powers which have
ratified the treaty. Paris dispatches
have said this step was waiting, for
one thing, on the action of the SEN

CELEBRATES FOURTH OF JULY
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO

Washington celebrates hcr first
Fourth of July one hundred years
ago; that is, if there was any eel
ebration. and no doubt there was by
the few pioneers then residing in the
little village of Washington, which
was then surrounded by mighty for
ests filled with game anc wild ami
male Of almost every description.
The Indian hunted almost undisturL.
ed by the few whites who were then
in this region.
Only a few years before the LoGisi-
ana Territory had been purchased
from Napoleon, the battle of New Or
leans in the second war with England
had just been fought, the earthquake
that destroyed the New Madrid cour-
try was fresh in the memory of all,
and just six months before the first
day Of July, the county Of Hemp
stead had been created by act Of the
Missouri legislature, but the few pio-
neer cabins were here and the men
who, with their families. occupied
them cared little what county they
were in or for what it was named;
they were patriots and pioneers and
celebrated the anniversary Of their
freedom in their owii peculiar WY.
The hunter with his coon skin cap,
buckskin suit and flintlock rifle, ana
the farmer, who had cleared up his
few acres of land, with the corn and
other farm crops needing attention,
had but little powder and no fireworks
with which to celebrate and make a
gerat noise These old pioneers
hearts, however, were equally as
thankful as their descendants Of a
hundred years later, who can make
all the noise they want, with The
improvements and inventions Of the
past century.
At the time of the first Fourth OF
July celebration, Judge John English
was here, Judge Walker was near by;
J. NJ. Stuart, who was no doubt re-
lated to the Stuart's of Columbus and
ozan, was here, perhaps not right IN
