PEOPLE MAY VOTE ON
 THE PEACE TREATY
With Hopes of Senate Compromise Fading, Citizens May Give Decision.
 Both Sides Stand Firm.

Washington, Nov 22-Compromise efforts to ratify the peace treaty were thrown into the background today by developments strengthening the Los- sibility that the whole controversy might be transformed to the political arena for a decision by the people in 1920.
 Senator Lodge, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and Re- publican leader of the Senate. de- clared in a statement that there was no room for further compromise" and urged that the reservations of the Senate majority be carried into the 1 campaign.
 There was no formal expression to determine whether a like stand would be taken ultimately by President Will son and the administration senators, but it developed that the presidents Senate supporters had no assurances as yet that he would reopen the sub ject for compromise by resubmitting the treaty when the new seSsiCn of Congress begins December l.
 Lodge Reports.
 The declaration of Senator Lodge reversed the position he and most oth- CT Republican senators had taken to- ward injection of the treaty into poli- tics. and was accepted in congressional and official circles as clothed with an added significance by MT. Lodge's con ference with Will H. Hays, the Republ- ican national chairman, just before the unsuccessful fight Wednesday for rati- fication with the majority reservations included The statement follows:
 q have no especial comment to make. The case is very simple After four months of careful consideration and discussion the reservations were presented to the Senate. They were purely American in their character, de- signed solely to Americanize the treaty and make it safe for the United States.
 Under the presidents orders. the followers of the administration in the Senate voted down those reservations It was also shown by vote that there was a decisive majority against the treaty with the reservations. Reservations to Stand.
 Those reservations as presented to the Senate will stand. There is no room for further compromise between Americanism and the supergovern ment presented by the league All ask now is that we may have the op- portunity to lay those reservations before the American people. To that great and final tribunal alone would I appeal.
 q wish to carry those reserva- tions into the campaign. l wish the American people to read and study them. They are not like the covenant of the league They are simple; do not see that there is one of them to which any American can object ! want the people to see them, under stand them and think of them in every household, on every farm in every shop and factory drought the land Then let them decide.

 ADMINISTER THE FOOD
HOOver'S Former Authority Trans ferred to Attorney General Palmer.
 Sugar RatiOning First.

Washin gton, Nov. 22. - President Wilson today placed the government again in control of the nations food supply by transferring the authority of food administrator to Attorney Gen eral Palmer
 Revival of the wartime functions of Administrator Hoover resulted directly from government efforts to avert a fla mine in sugar but the powers dele gated to the head of the Department of Justice will be used also to help put down the ever mounting cost of living.
 For the present the attorney general will not put into operation all of the machinery permitted under the eXecu- tive order signed by the president, but should conditions arise to make it ne cassary the full pressure of all the broad power vested in him will be eX- erted to meet them.
 To Prevent HOarding.
 Mir Palmer's staff will begin imme- diately to build up a sugar distributing system which will associate all sugar stocks in the country. It will provide an equitable system of distributing supplies, and will defeat any concen- tration or boarding. officials said
 Plans tentatively decided upon pro- vide for increasing the price of all sugar, excepting the Louisiana crop, for which a price of F cents already has been fixed, to 15 cents a pound wholesale.
 Through this increase new source of supply are expected to be opened. With assurances that fair margin of profit said to be about $154 hundred pounds would be allowed sugar refn- CTS are ready to enter the Cuban mar kets and purchase all available stocks, it was stated. This officials believe, the increased price will avert a short age which threatens to become a fam inc during the next 60 days.

 The danger of a sugar famine will be greater next month, it was said, as stocks are rapidly being depleted, and in many sections already exhausted, and the necessity for garnering all available supplies from outside be, comes daily more urgent.
 Howard Figg assistant to the at torney general in charge of food sales distribution, has worked out plans for carrying out the drastic regulations proposed as soon as approval has been had by the several government agen- cies which it will be necessary to con suit

 WORK THE COAL MINES
Governor Said to Plan Drastic Action To Provide Fuel; To Begin This
 Week in the Mines.

Little Rock, Nov 23.-All convicts who can be spared from the Tucker and Cummins farms will be sent to the coal fields of Arkansas within the next few days, some of whom may be sent into the mines, it was said yesterday by Governor Brought This is an effort to cope with the fuel shortage which threatens to envelop the country.
 While plans for having the state prisoners to dig coal have not been definitely worked out, it is said that those who are not physically able to go into the mines will be used on the surface in loading coal ore. The oth- CTS will replace the striking miners. It is probable the convicts will be in the coal regions by the latter part of this week
 Governor Brough yesterday issued statement saying that convicts from the Tucker and Cummins state farms will be sent to the coal fields between Hackett and Huntington to load the fuel now on tie surface. It is said about 60,000 tons of coal is on the ground there, but that the miners re- fuse to load it into railway cars for shipment The governor is being as- sisted by Thomas A. Wilson, state labor commissioner, and Thomas H. Shaw, state mine inspector in handling the situation. The miners said they would not object to the convicts load ing the fuel.
