hand of the Almighty to give relief
and rest to the weary and forlorn.
Physicians say that the, little woman
will not wait in vain, for life cannot
exist in the racked form for many
more hours.
The little mother has fought good
fight against the overwhelming odds
of poverty and the ravages of the
white plague, coupled with many re-
verses in her family circle. She is
martyr to her cause and struggled
vainly to provide for her children, a
boy of four and a girl of less than
two years, but things went from bad
to worse and her health gave way
under the strain, and some time ago
she collapsed.
Despite her reverses, her scantness
of finances, she, all through the long
period of the war, did her part and
was monthly contributor of the
Red Cross. The contributions were
made regularly and many times at
the cost of considerable sacrifice to
herself but they were gladly made.
She had a brother who was then over
seas, fighting in the American army,
and she loved the lad.
Several days ago her health became
SO broken down that friends arrang-
ed that she should go to the san
atorium at Pittsford to try and re-
gain her vitality and vigor. She pro-
! tested strongly against the move.
Monday, while alone in the house, the
little woman, Mrs. Agnes Durant,
drank several ounces of carbolic acid
and then lay down on bed. The
terrible effect of the poison caused
her to suffer great pain and she
sought assistance. Neighbors tele-
phoned for physician and DR.. ]. H.
Dodds responded, together with Miss
Bessie Crosby, assistant district nurse
and everything possible was done for
the unfortunate woman but soon af-
ter two o'clock she lapsed into uncon-
seriousness.
A consultation of physicians gave
out not the least ray of hope for her
recovery and she was removed to the
hospital, death being expected at any
time.
The woman has a mother, Mrs.
Jennie Ducles, and a brother living in
Burlington.

"The essentials Of the treaty it.
self have already been determined
upon. In his desperate attempt to
tie the league and treaty together
Mr.. Wilson referred some of the de-
tails of the treaty to the leagues
council for determination. But it
would be simple matter to provide
another fundamentally for such de-
termination; in fact, it is probable
that the changes that the leagues
defeat would necessitate in the treaty
are now reposing in the files of the
peace conference, ready for insertion
the moment the Senate has decreed
the death of the covenant. Each ali,
led nation, including the United
States, could make thoe alterations at
once, and present the practically
identical treaties to Germany for sig
nature, each supported in its de-
mands by all the others. The process
is a perfectly simple one, and the re-
convening of the peace congress is
not required at all"

LEAGUE COVENANT

provision. 1t could not possibly go
into effect until all of the nations
party to the treaty accepted the
amendment. If one refuses to accept
it that would produce a deadlock and
make peace impossible. For all to
accept any Senate amendments, even
if it were possible, would require a
long period of time and that would
greatly delay the advent of peace
"Of course, so far as the treaty it.
self is concerned, the allied nations
are free to make such terms of peace
with Germany as each may see fit,
unless they are bound by undertake
ings among themselves not to con-
clude separate peace. The United
States, for instance, can conclude
peace with Germany on any basis she
may adopt, quite regardless of the
actions of the Allies or any one of
them. The treaty is only between
ourselves and the Germans.
"The conclusion of the league
covenant in the treaty presents q com
plication that involves all of the AL
lied belligerents. If the covenant is
amended it is probably true, as Mr..
Hitchcock asserts, that before it
would have any binding force the
changes would have to receive the
endorsement of the other parties to
the undertaking. Amendment of the
covenant, therefore, might be attend
ed with prolonged delays in the final
consummation of peace. But no such
difficulties are in the way of the de-
feat of the undertaking.
"The league of nations is the pet
personal hobby of Mr.. Wilson, and is
SO regarded by the delegates of the
other powers in Paris. They care lit
tie for it, and will be quick to repud-
late it once it has been rejected by
the United States Senate. 1t is saio
by those in touch with the situation
in Paris that the defeat of the league
by the Senate is anticipated by the
other nations, and that their course
of action in what event is already
mapped out. With the peace treaty

Here is famous Chinese humorous
story. A traveller stopped at house
and asked for q cup of tea. Having
none on hand, the host sent his son
out to procure some. Meanwhile the
hostess put pot CT water on the fire
to boil. The son did not return, and
it became necessary to add some more
water to the pot. This was done sew
