With this record of Presiden.
Wilson's latest known position
should be placed the substi ute'
reservation which Senator Hitch
cock presented to the Senate comz
mittee last Wednesday. 1t is ap-
parently designed to express th,
interpretation Of Article X which

1t can be seen that Senator Hitch
cocks reservation goes a long dis
tance in the same directions as ths
Republican reservations. The New

In Chicago, the ever caution
"News" takes this definite non-par
tisan stand:
'The fate that has befallen the
amendment thus far voted upon should
overtake al the other unnecessary and
unmeritorious textual amendments o
the treaty. The American public /.
opposed to further delays and i'd,
talk that merely serve to put off th'
return OF peace. II demands enlight
ened action. The treaty can and shou
be ratified with explicit, CAREFUL
drawn reservations designed TO safe
guard established American principles
and policies to prevent friction and
misunde RS tanding in the future. The
moderate members of the Senate, re-
gardless Of party, have the right view
Of the duty Of that body. Obstinate
and wiiifu. men on either sid" OF the
chamber would wreck the league of
nations, defeat the treaty and plunge
the world into chaos"
On the Pacific Coast "The Port

Reservations Necessary

On the other hand, the vote also
showed the treaty could not be rati-
fed without reservations; and. later.
Senator McCunber, by h 8 stand in
committee, showed that the mod
crate" reservationists on the Repub-
hcan side were ready to support
strong reservations, as the text Of
the proposed reservations on this
page makes plain.
In view Of this deadlock the de-
mand for compromise and prom-t
ratification has grown quickly. Sig
nifcant of the change il point Of view
is the following from The New Yor'
Times,' which has heretofore take
the extreme partisan view in sup

New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

NlSTINCT signs are at last
visible in the countrv's
- opinion that debate on the
peace treaty may end and
and quickly. The long partisan
vrangle must stop. The Senate
must get together on reservations
and ratify. An increasing amount
Of sober-minded Republican and
Democratic opinion is uniting on
this view.
The defeat of the Shantung
amendment by decisive vote gave
proof that the extremists, Senators
Johnson. Borah, Reed and Gore,
had finally lost their fight to amend
or defeat the league.

Press of Both Parties Turns
Toward View That Treaty
Deadlock Must End

proof that textual changes cannot
9ass and declares:
Although friends Of the treaty had
.wenty votes advantage over those who
proposed to kill the pact by this
amendment they still lacked the two
thirds majority. necessary to carry
ratification. The result, therefore, is
further indication of what amounts
virtually to q deadlock wherein each
side is strong enough to rob the other
Of victory but not strong enough itself
TO achieve triumph.
ut thus becomes increasingly evident
that the only way ratification can be
brought about within reasonable time
is for those opposed to amendments
that would necessitate resubmission
Of the treaty to the signatory powers
to get together in the spirit of compro-
mise and work out program that
will save the situation. It is as futile
now for any group to demand ratifica-
tion without reservations as it is for
another group to insist that the league
Of nations is q delusion which the
United States cannot adopt without
contamination"
inp0l,a.t Republican papers are
taking similar stand. The New
York Tribune has throughout ad-
vocate reservations as against
amendments. "The Philadelphia
less,' a Republican friend of the
eague, now says:
THE real issue now is will the treatv
De adopted with reservations?
Fourteen reservations are before
he Foreign Relations Committee, and
Il is expected that they will be re-
ported favorably. They are not equally
meritorious, but it is believed that
majority Of the Senate will vote
for-Nost Of tire reservations as framed.
It will thensssbr. up to the Senate to
adopt the treaty with these reserva-
tionssor elsa defeat it altogether. We
do not believe that the opponents of
the reservations and supporters Of the
treaty will care to take this RESPONSE

the best shape they can get it.

HAMPTON MUSICAL ART CLUB
TO SING In NEW YORK.

Hampton, Va, Dec. 18.-Dr. Frank
Damrosch and his seventy singers
of the Muscical Art Society will give
their first concert of the season in
Carnegie Hall, New York, on Tues
day evening. December 16. The pro-
gram, which gives striking evidence
of the universally of the Chri stmas
Spirit, will include a set of Christ
mas folk songs which Natalie Curtis
who is now Mrs. Paul Burlin-
collected among the Negro popula-
ton of st. Helena Island, S. c.,
where the blacks greatly out number
the whites and traces of the original
African language and African Gus
toms creep into the daily life. In
this primitive place there are songs
of the Nativity which never have
been heard along the mainland
There is one, for instance, called
"Mary's Baby" wherein Miss Cur
tis's arrangement-two versions are
used contrastingly, and the quaint
speech of st. Helena is carefully pre-
served. The minor version, whose
scale contain minor seventh and
major sixth, was sung for the col
lector by group of old women
survivors of the passing generation
who still wore bandana turbans and
carried baskets on their heads. Re
ference to the gospel train" ia
miliar bit of Negro imagery, forms
the refrain. To the primitive black
man the first railroad was almost
as great a wonder as a Bible miracle
and it afforded the slave-poet many
poetic symbol To git on bod
the Gospel Train, which runs on the
rails laid by Heavenly Truth,
to find religion-and so there is a
constant warning throughout this
song Of 'Mary's Baby-King Jesus
not to be one of those tardy ones
who keep a-comin' through the
train done gone"
A second Christmas song which
Miss Curtis has arranged for per-
Torrance by the Musical Art Society
at its December concert is Oars a
Star in de Eas'. Another version OF
this has been published at Hampton
Institute, but without harmonization
Miss Curtis has taken care to pre-
serve the character of the Negro
harmonization, the original antiphon-
al construction of the song has all
the reverence of prayer, it works
out in vivid reality the drama oil
tidings from Heaven and how the
Shepherds answered them. =

Revolving Crime Follows.
The boys were placed in jail and
then followed one of the most revolt
ing crimes in the history of the
state. Richardson says there was no
sign of the sheriff when the mob
came to the Jail to get them. Adams
had on only his top shirt and Taylor
was in his underwear. Ropes were
tied around their necks in Jail and
they were led out to a place where
a big bonfire was burning. After a
discussion as to how they should be
lynched they decided to kill them
one at a time, and one of the men
said, 1--WE will get this big one, An
derson, first.
Assistant Chief Murders Anderson.
Sanford Taylor says he Saw the as
sistant chiefs star as he reached for
his gun. He says he recognized the
policeman, because he had beaten
him, Taylor, with blackjack at
the time of the arrest in Moberly.
The boys say the police officer knock
ed Anderson down, put his foot in
the boys stomach and knees on his
breast and, as the boy plead for mer-
cy, shot him five times.
Richardson said a farmer named
Thomas, and another man called
Doctor" had the rope which was
thrown over his head. He was swung
up, but held on to the rope with his
hands, and they let him down to tie
him. At this time Taylor ran and
knocked down two men who were
trying to catch him. Richardson
swung on the man who was tieine
his hands, knocked him down and
ran. The rope was dragging but he
gathered it up and later freed his
neck from double moose. He fell
in a deep ditch and jumped over
pond, being shot at six times. Adams
also escaped in the confusion. Rich
ardson says he can identify the men
who strung him up.
AS stated the three were later ar
rested and speedily railroaded to the
penitentiary.~ Richardson and Tay-
lor were given 10 years each ana
Adams two years. Richardson is only
II years old. His mother says they
told the attorney general they knew
nothing of the robbery and were only
turned over to the police because Of
the alteration Anderson had witt
Casey about THE whiskey. She says
the attorney replied, II don't care
if you are guilty or not; we want
to get the lynchers."
Mrs. Ford has retained Attorney
George L. Vaughn to take charge ol
the case of her son.
