try"
"Oh! ! bet I know what it u.s."
said Jack as he jumped into bed.
Daddy said yesterday that the big
senator's went to see the President,
and made him tell all about the peace

Eyes, Jack" replied Uncle Ted.
your guess is righth and | am glad
you are interested in these things.
I. Now you see these senator's who went
to see President Wilson belong to
committee that has to say what
should be done with the treaty and
the world club plan before all the
senator's can have real say by vot
ing the way they want. Senator
Lodge is the head Of this committee,
SO he wrote Mr.. Wilson letter tel
ling him that the committee would
like to see him and also that IL they
came everything that was said would
have to be taken down by stenog-
raphers so that, the newspapers in the
country could print it. This was
agreed to and so you see, children.

big meeting. Just az though we had
been right there.
Where did they talk with the
President" asked Ruth.
"They talked with him in what is
called the East Room of tie White

the Presidents home and where the
great receptions are held in the win

the Senators to agree to the worlc
plan at once and couldn't see any
reason why they shouldn't After HI
finished Senator Lodge spoke ant

"Did the. President answer all thu

"No, there was one very importan

their people when once in this coun

thing, for 1t would deprive our ow
people OF work, especially in Califor

Pacific coast II has never bee
known how Mr.. Wilson voted on thl
matter and so Senator Johnson, VIII
comes from California, asked tn
President how the men who represer
ed the United States at the peace col
ference voted. The Presidnt said b
thought the question was ver
natural one. but he wasn't SUI
whether he should answer or not an
so refused to do so.
Senator Brandegee of Connect
