Another False Call
Turned In Today By
Woman Alarm "Nut''

Another of many recent false fire
alarms was turned in to the South end
station this morning at $3.50 o'clock.
The fire engine and the hook and
ladder outfit was rushed to the alley
on Alpha venue between Third and
Fourth streets to battle a fire in the
Elgin dairy lunch, but the fire wasn't
there.
The alarm was phoned to the fire
station from a room in the Frederick
hotel by a woman and Fire Chief ].
j. Fitzgerald says he believes it is the
same woman who turned in an alarm
from the Great Northern passenger
depot a few days ago. Chief Fitz-
gerald and the police tried to find a
definite clue to the identity of the
fire alarm bug at the Frederick,
but all they could learn was that a
woman had called for outside" and
talked to the department.
The Sundays in Europe are pretty
we'll taken up with the establishment
of new governments. Presumably the
government changers take Thursday

TAFT WRITES LETTERS

WASHINGTON, July 24.-In two letters written by William Howard Taft Is included a program of in terpretations for the Senate ratifica ton of the peace treaty, in order tt secure the support of the Republl cans favorable to the covenant oi the League of Nations.
 Among the proposed interpretations are suggested two letters which for mer President Taft wrote to Will Hays, the Republican National Com mittee chairman, copies of which are now in the hands of some of the Republican Senators.
 The letters suggest six interpreta tions covering the right of withdraw al of the United States from the League, providing a limit for the do minion of colonies, asserting the pre- rogative of Congress to declare war under article ten, confirming national control to terminate obligations un- der article ten at the end of ten years. In his second letter Taft severely criticised President Wilson for his alleged partisan course dur ing the war and in the peace nego, tiations.

DEFINITION OF ARTICLE 10


 Senator Jones in giving his inter. pretaflon of the much discussed ar ticle 10. says:
 Section 10 is strongly attacked and all sorts of dangers to us are seen tn 1t. I may be dull. may be ob- tuse. but I really cannot see that 1t amounts to much. It is true that we agree to respect and preserve the territorial, integrity and political in- dependence of other countries from external aggression. As part of this covenant. however, it is also agreed that this shall be done as the council shall advise. We are mem ber of the council. It can advise oply by unanimous agreement. If the means suggested do not suit us, we will not accept them, and no ad- vice 10 given. We cannot be justly charged with default because we are acting wholly within our rights under the express terms of the covenant We are bound to no particular action until we expressly consent to 1t. We would never send our sons to main tain the political independence or territorial integrity of any country unless our peace or safety was seri- ously involved and we cannot be re- euirsd to do 90 under this article.
