Will Personally Assume.
Command in Battle For
the Treaty
SURE OF THE OUTCOME
Count in Senate Shows Amendments
Will Fail of Majority Fote-Oppo..
sition Cannot Win.

On Board Presidents Wilson's
train en- route to Reno, New, Sept
22.-With the train definitely turned
northeastward, President Wilson to-
day made start for home, perso-
nally to assume command of the
final days' battle for the ratification
of the treaty Of Versailles.
Fresh from what was, in his
opinion and that of the members OF
his official staff, complete tri-
umph on the Pacific Coast, the
President was extremely confident
that he. had his fight won.
He believes absolutely that the
voters are available for complete
ratification, and he remains extreme
" confident that the vote to reject
any and all reservations and tcXtual
amendments that 90 to the heart OF
the treaty and which would require
submission of the treaty to the
signatory powers for approval will
be an overwhelming one.
The biggest test will he on the
Johnson amemdment to demand for
the United States the same number
of votes that are given to Great
Britain, and on the Norris amend
ment that would substitute the name
of China for Japan wherever the
latter nation is mentioned as ben
eficiary in the Shantung provisions
of the treaty.
A count in the Senate, made by
Senators who worked independent
ly of the party poll, is stated t"
have shown that both amendments
would receive from three to te,:
votes less than a majority. Names
naturally are withheld, but it is
positively claimed by members of=the
Presidents official family that the
opposition cannot win.
While the President was contin-
uing his trip eastward, speaking on
the: Lea que .!of Nations, he was also
watching with the most earnest at
tention the developments in the
very threatening industrial sltua-
ton. Reports that as result of the
developments of the last forty-eight
hours he would cut short his trip
and hasten to Washington were flat
" denied. 1t was said the President
can do no more in Washington than
he can here.

MosBY's MONUMENT
plan is Crystalizing Rapidly-For-
mer Alexandrian Announces
$4,000 in Hand

The Fauuuier Democrat says
our readers will be rejoiced to learn
that the movement which has been
SO ardently and faithfully conduct
cd by Mrs. Captain Edward Carter,
Of Warrenton, to erect a suitable
memorial to Col. John S. Mosby, has
resulted in the brightest prospects
Of early success.
Interesting Developments took
place before the Board of Supervis-
ors on Thursday last, when Major
R. A. Mcintyre, who has been act
ing as Mrs. Carter's secretary, in
troduced to the Board, Capt. Boyd
Smith a distinguished member of
"Mosby's Command" He referred to
the fact that Capt. Smith had camp
ed in Warrenton as Mrs. Carter's
aide, and would attend the meeting
of the Command to be! held in Fred
ericksburg the 22nd and 23rd, prox-
imo: and reminded the Board that,
although Warrenton stood out in
history as the most distinguished
small town in the South, not single
public monument Lad been erected
to her heroes; and that it was a
most fitting time to build high a !
to the famous soldier
whose achievements won for our
section of Virginia the proud title
of "Mosby's Confederaey."
"Capt. Boyd Smith, still vigor-
Gus and active, both physically and
addressed the Board in q
most effective manner, and the fact
was disclosed that about $4,000 is in
hand to erect a monument, that a
design has been selected, and that
a place to erect it remained to be
designated. The Captains prefer
ence was a spot in the lot on the
north side of the Court House, and
the Board of Supervisors have en-
tered the necessary order.
at behooves US all to join and
assist in this most important under
taking, and to unite in the construc-
ton of monument to Col. John S.

DROWNS IN RIVER !
c. w. Sandt~son Sinks off Wash
ington as His Three COM
paniGns Arc Saved


Scores of pedestrians and mo-
torists yesterday watched on the
Speedway seswa1 while four men
battled to swim ashore from foun-
dered motorboat;sin the Washington
channel. One lost his life.
The drowned man is Charles Viii
lard Sanderson,:s@ 26, ;livingS on l..
street southeast between Third and
Fourth streets. I, His companion:
were Benajmin and Ralph Davis
and a fourth said to- be enamel
Grinder. The upset of the hire !!
launch, bateau with small engin ;
in the stern, occurred about 1880
o'clock as the result of the fou;
mems scrambling to one side Of tn
craft to force a flow of gaso!in
from the tank in the bow. Tha
weight of the motor dragged tn"
hatcau beneath the surface.
All four were good swimmers an
started toward the seawall, $50 feet
distant, but Sanderson's strength
gave out and he disappeared. The
others were helped up the wall by
onlookers, several of whom plunged
into the water to aid. Sandcrson's
body was recovered one hour later
by the harbor police and taken t
the Emergency Hospital.
