SUGAR IN MEMPHIS
SOLD At Is CENTS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 15.-Mem-
phis, which is paying "a and 25 cents
a pound for sugar-probably the
highest price in the United States
was confronted by a strange puzzle
today.
Two weeks ago. when sugar was re-
failing at il cents, both wholesalers
and retailers announced that the ma
tion's supply was practically exhaust
ed, that no more sugar could be Sc
cured, and that it was necessary to
limit purchases to one or two pounds
to a customer. Then the supply ran
completely out and none could be pur-
chased.
But yesterday when most of the big
manufacturers stores advertised theiI
Friday bargains" il was declared in
practically every advertisement that
sugar can now be purchased in un-
limited quantities-for % cents q
pound.

pedoes the League Of Nations while
the Senate cuts the heart out of the
covenant" was the headline carried
by the Daily Express today over its
comment on the peace treaty debate
at Washington. The newspaper ex-
presses the opinion, however, that the
United States will back up its in
ternationaI duty "if the necessity
arises"
The Daily News believes that the
United States will eventually remedy

from the League Of Nations"
The Chronicle sees the American
Senate's action as a personal rebuff
to President Wilson, but says II is
reacting upon Europe in a most en-
barrassing way.

Senator Lodge attempted to get the

Jones of Washington, Republican
raised a point of order and charged
that Hitchcock was holding the floor
during the hour preceding the vote

La Toilette Demands Vote.
At one minute of IL, Vice President
Marshall laid the cloture petition be-
fore the Senate.
Immediately Hitchcock jumped to
his feet and raised a point of order
against the Lodge cloture petition.
Marshall then began to rule on
Hitcheocks objection. LaFollette in-

that vote be taken.
The chair has no more right to

Taylor Hall was cram.ned to its ca

about the doorwsys as Miss Lowell
declaimed her writings. Applause
was spontaneous and hearty. The
only dubious feature of the whole eve

the face of acting President Helen
