WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Four re-
vised reservations to the peace treaty
We're adopted by the senate foreign
relations committee with the admin
istration leaders voting solidly against
them.
The reservations related to Article
X, the Monroe Doctrine, withdrawal,
and domestic questions. The commit
tee also adopted a preamble to the
reservations, providing the treaty
will not become effective until three
other allied and associated powers
have agreed to the senate reserYa-
tions
The reservation adopted relating to
Article X is identical, except for the
transposition of one phrase with one
which President Wilson announced or
his western trip he would be obliged
to regard as the rejection of the
treaty.

dictated by President Wilson yes

the imperative necessity OF some
action by the conference to in

The president said the public ex-

gagged in industry, or until 1t was
revealed that the ''men who work and
the men who manage American in
dustry are SO set upon divergent
paths that all efforts at cooperation
are doomed to failure.
''If the nations industrial leaders
and workers are without faith in each
other, constantly struggling for the
advantage over each other, doing
naught but what they are compelled
to-" the president said, "the situation
thus created will be q national dis
aster."
Declaring his mind was turned away
from such possibility, the president
said the conference should stand to-
gether for the development of a full
program by which measurable coop

cured and not break because full
agreement could not be had on each
proposition on the methods suggested d.

six deaths.
In the city of Ell Centre proper

These records compare more than
favorably with those of former years,
when the deaths usually exceeded the
births because of the fact that so
many children were born on the coast

SCHOOL s
De MA \ D
REL |EF

Voters of Ell Centro will be called
on shortly to vote a school bond issue,
estimated at $125,0O0 for the purpose
of relieving the corgested condition
existing in the city schools at present.
The $125,000 sum to be asked for,
and it will be 1925, 900 in the opinion
of Superintendent M. d. Boucher, will
be used for doubling the capacity OF
Wilson school and the construction OF
a new school on the Eastside.
Architects are busy at present MAX
ing complete plans for the additions
and new buildings, and also compiling
estimates. Immediately, when their
report is presented, there will be a
special meeting OF the school board
ard the thing will be thoroughly gone
into and the bond issue authorized.
Mr.. Boucher, in speaking of the
present congested situation, states
that at the present time there are
$50 enrollments, when last year the
total enrolment .sexceedea-~l, 900 by
only few. 1t is his estimate that be-
fore the end of the year the total en-
rollment will reach 1900.
The present enrolment is the great
est in the city's history and 200 above
the enrolment last year.
Wilson school is at present over
crowded. Superintendent Boucher's
plans call for an increase from the
present eight rooms to 16, or just
double the capacity.
The new school on the Eastside
would have five or six rooms and an
auditorium.
FL Centro's schools must be enlarg-
ed to care for the rapidly increasing
population. Mr. Boucher believes
that the present contemplated i'm
provements will not keep ahead of the
increase in population more than a
few years.
