What is the present status of the Peace Treaty as regards ratification?
 That is a question that many, even those who have carefully followed the news day by day, cannot answer off, hand A still greater number can not answer it at all
 Also many of us are hay as to just what ratification is, and how many of the worlds powers, great and small, must ratify the treaty with Germany before 1t is in fore. Presi- dent Wilson himself is among those who are not quite clear as to the method of ratification which must be followed by some of the nations among the Allies He confessed as much in his talk with Senators at the White House last week.
 David Hunter Miller, who was a technical adviser to the American del egation to the Peace Conference, dis cussed the present status of the treaty the other day, and the subject of rati- fication in general. Mir. Miller was in Paris from last November to the beginning of June, following the vari- ous steps leading up to the final sign ing of the treaty, and is admiral qualified to talk upon the subject
 "As matters stand at present" he said. while Germany has ratified the Peace Treaty, and the British Parlia- ment has assented thereto, still 1t is not in force IS yet. since 1t was stip- rlated that, in addition to Germany, three of the prinlipal allied and as- sociated powers must ratify in order

ratification of a peace treaty in the
 United States is obtained through a
 two-thirds vote of the senators pres
 ent.
 Tn the case of a treaty between
 only two powers, each at the same
 time delivers to the other an instru-
 ment of ratification. This is called
 the exchange of ratification. When
 three powers make a treaty each may ideliver two instruments, one to each
 of the treaties between a large num-
 Der of nations, so-called multi-lateral
 treaties---of which the one now under discussion is an example---you can
 easily see that it would be trouble
 some for each signatory power to de-
 diver to each of the others an in strument of ratification. To ooviate
 this inconvenience the method usually followed is for the nations concerned to deposit their notifications with the Government of one of them, usually the nation within whose borders the treaty was signed. In this case each nation executes only one instrument of ratification. In the case of the
 treaty that ended the world war the instruments of ratification will be de- posted with the Minister of Foreign
 Affairs of France at Paris.
 The treaty with Germany DrOVldcs that 1t shall go into force when the i first 'proces verbal of the deposit of ratification is drawn up. This is a I paper drawn up by the representa- lives of the depositing powers, and signed by them, showing that the rat ! iications have been received and ex- amined. The exact form of the paper varies. It is signed usually by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country where the deposit , made As a rule, this country is also one Of i the signatories of the treaty, In which case the signature of the Foreign Minister may appear twice on the | 'proces verbal of deposit.
 Thus, when the first 'proces yer i bal of the treaty ending the world
 war is drawn up between the repre- ! sentatives of Germany and of at leas. three of the principal allied and asso- ciated power and perhaps others, the treaty will be in force as between i those powers.
 "When the seat of government of a i nation Is outside Europe the mere mo- i tification by it's diplomatic representa- i tive in France will be the equivalent l of deposit of official ratification. de-
 spite the fact that the actual instru-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-25

ment of ratification has not been deposited with the French Govern ment. The advantages of this arr obvious--a month or so may be neces- sary for the receipt by courier of the actual instrument from Japan, and n whole month will be gained if the Japanese Ambassador at Paris simply notifies the French Government that he has been advised by cable from ToBio that Japan has ratified the treaty.
 Another fact to be noted regard ing the Peace Treaty now under dis cussion is that the date of the first
 proces verbal of deposit is to be talk en the date from which certain pro- visions in the treaty are to be reck- oned. For instance. Germans resiolng within the boundaries of the new re- public of Czechoslovakia are to be al- lowed the privilege to determine af- ter a fixed limit of time. whether they desire to become citizens of Czechoslovak The time limit set in this case is two years, which, obvi- ously must be reckoned from some fixed date and not made depcnoen- on the ratification of the Peace Treaty by every one of the signatory powers. Therefore. in the provision Ol An6 tO lNls matter the date from which this two year period is to be reckonel is tn" date of the first 'proces verbal of deposit. There are other similar provisions In the treaty, some of them relating to things which Germany binds herself to do within a stipulated time, which take the same date as a point of de- p1rture.
 Any amendment to the treaty as 1t now stands would mako it practically q new treaty. since ie would be neces- sary to get the consent of every one of tho siEnatory powers to tho said amendment before it could be incor- poratcd in the treaty, involving. with out doubt othor proposals of other amendments. and thus new and pIo- longed negotiations.
 The treaty must be ratified as l. stands by each nation concerned or now treaty must be negotiated"

islature for ratification; treaties of peace or commerce and some others are not considered final until voted upon by both chambers. The French Legislature is now in recess. When it resumes session, later this month, it is understood that it will ratify the Peace Treaty with Germany.
 Tn Great Britain the Peace Treaty has been laid before Parliament, and both the House of Commons and the House of Lords have already passed a bill for the carrying into effect of the provisions of the treaty.
 Most of the fundamental laws of the Continental countries of Europe provide that cetrain classes of trea- ties shall be submitted to their re- spective Legislatures. The treaty with Germany relates to so many sub jects that 1t will doubtless be sub mitted to the legislature of every European State for ratification. This is not only true of the States that were in existence before the war, but of those that have arisen out of the war, such as Poland and Czechoslo- vakia.
 "The fundamental law of the Latin American countries usually provides that treaties shall be submitted to their Legislatures for ratification.
 "ConsideraJble doubt exists in the minds of many as to the exact pro- cedure that must be adopted in a treaty---as to just what physical acts must be gone through with before the treaty comes into force. First, there lis the treaty itself, the actual docu- ment that is signed, which, in the case now under discussion, has been placed in charge of the French Government, as only one original has signed. Pres ndent Wilson did not bring back the actual treaty. but certified copy of it, as did the representatives of the other nations who gathered around the peace table. This certified copy of the Peace Treaty was then submit ted by him to the Senate, which should ratification bs decided uPon-- will pass a resolution, the form of which has scarcely varied since the Senate of the United States has been in existence. This resolution will then be returned, together with the copy of the treaty, to the President.
 "The Senate resolution constitutes the Presidents authority to ratify the treaty; henSe, upon receipt of it, he is at liberty to sign the instrument of ratification

powers among the Allies-Great Brit ain, France, the United States, Italy. and Japan When any three of these ratify the treaty it will come into force, but only among them and Germany-if no other allied nation has ratified.
 'It will become binding on the oth- CT allied na dons just as soon as each ratifes but if, for instance, the United States should not ratify the treaty, the said treaty would not be binding on the United States. Of course, the very fact that the treaty was singneA at Versailles presupposes Q degree of agreement among all the allied na- tions which practically makes the eventual ratification of the treaty by all a foregone conclusion, but no na- ton is actually bound until 1t has rat flied according to its own laws.
 Treaties differ with each other es to the number of signatory nations whose ratification Is required. Some require ratification by all parties to them before they come into force at all; others require certain number of the signatory powers.
 There is also considerable diverg- ence as to the method of ratification. Whether or not ratification is a sub ject for legislative action depends on the fundamental law of each nation. It is impossible to give "a general an- swer to the question of how the ma ,tions will ratify the present Peace Treaty on account of this difference in fundamental laws

Why Docs a Piece of Wood Float in
 Water?

A piece of wood will float in water because it is lighter than the same amount of water. We do not mean that q piece fo wood weighing one pound, for instance, would weigh any more than a pound of water, of course, but if you took the measure ments of each you will find that It took less bulk to make a pound of water than Of wood. If you had a piece of wood S, shaped that 1t just filled a glass completely, and then took another E ass and filled it with water. you would find that the glass containing the water weighed the most. Another name to give to this difference would be 10 say that the water was more dense than the wood
 By the law of gravitation the denser thing will always so to the bottom, and as wood is less dense than water. The piece of wood has more afr in it than the water. If you could expel the air from the piece Of wood and then put it in water, it would sink.
