AIteT ulSpOSlng OF the treaty,
Senator Lodge introduced a res
olution proposing that congress
declare the war with Germany
at an end. The resolution was
referred to the foreign relations
committee.
The Lodge resolution, which
would require assent of the
house, declared that the actual
hostility of the German gov
ernment recited in the Ameri-
can declaration of war had
ceased, that an armistice had
been signed, and proposed that
congress declare that the 'state
of war is hereby declared at an
end"
After the peace treaty had
been laid aside and the railroad
bill had been made the unfin-
ished business, Republican Lead
er Lodge moved that the senate
adjourn sine die. The motion
was voted down, SO to 5.
The senate finally adjourned
sine die at HOS o'clock.

The first vote on ratification stood 80
for to 30 against. On the second vote,
taken after several hours of parliament

made vain efforts to win over some Of

tionists. Al senator's voted in the affirma-
tive and 81 in the negative.
The third vote was on a straight out

in its support.
Final Decision, Says Lodge.
Republican Leader Lodge declared to-
days voting constituted final decision
on the peace treaty, unless President
Wilson circumvented the senate rules by
withdrawing it and then submitting it
again To the senate. In other quarters
there was some difference of opinion.
but the general sentiment seemed to be
that there was only slender chance

gress, beginning next month.
Continues War Laws.
The effect of the senate's failure to
ratify the treaty will be the continuation
of various wartime laws and regulations
at least until the new session opens.
Among these is the wartime prohibition
act.

Public Is Able to Bear

Washington, Nov. 19.-Pros-
poets of coal famine drew near
er tonight, with negotiations be-
tween operators and miners ap-
parently at a standstill, despite
solemn notification by Fuel Con-
troller Garfield-speaking with
the full authority of President
Wilson's cabinet-that "the peo-

And "as long as the govern
ment stands, they will not be
prevented from getting it by
anything the operators or min
ers may do" he added.
No Progress Whatever.
Following the solemn warning
that the government contem-
plated acting, the scale COM
mittees of the miners and oper-
ators went into executive ses-
sion. The task of negotiating
on the scale was delegated to a
subcommittee Of the joint COM
mittee. This body was in ses-
sion three hours, but it was said
after the meeting that only the
general situation was discussed
and that the operators did not
submit counter proposals to the
miners demands. The confer
ance will continue tomorrow.
"No progress was made. The
operators submitted proposals.
we are still in receptive mood"
said John L. Lewis, acting presi-
dent of the United Mine Work

The operators committee re-
NAMED in session an hour longer.
At the end of that time, Thomas
I. Brewster, chairman of the
operators committee in the CEN
tral competitive field, spoke op-
timistlcally, declaring that this
was the first attempt at real
negotiations since the miners
and operators met at Buffalo.
For that reason, he said, only
general matters were discussed.

DIR. Garfield, in addressing the confer
ence, explained that his purpose was to
furnish it with the data which he would
rse in determining what wage advances
if any, agreed to by the operators and
miners would be borne properly by the
public.
I'VE all realize now that in the great
coal industry the public is an important
partner" said DIR. Garfield. "The people
of the United States will not consent to
pay an excessive price for coal. We are
all agreed to that, but the question now
is what an excessive price nor will the

Most Luxury Taxes to Remain

It is stated that the program being framed
by the Republican leaders of the new con-
gress calls for payment of the war debt
at the rate of 81 O0O,OO0,00O of principal,
and nearly OO0,OOOOO0 Of interest each
year until cancelled
The cost Of the war to the United States
to date is said to be in the neighborhood of
$30000,O00 including $4,000, 100000
be paid for many years, and possibly never.
The war debt will be increased several
billions more by demobilization and other
expenses.
Taxes this year will be about $4,OOQOO0,-
0OO It is claimed that the House Com
nlittee on ways and means has halted the
move to repeal all the luxury taxes in the
war revenue act. The only taxes to be re-
pealed will be those on the higher priced
wearing apparel and articles for personal
use.
Taxes on soft drinks, ice cream, cosmet-
les, furs and other luxuries will remain in
force indefinitely. A large revenue is ex-
pected from the tax on soft drinks, es-
pecially after July |, when the country goes
bone dry.
Reports that the government is not re-
ceiving the full revenue due from soft
drinks and ice cream have caused the COM
mittee to undertake to devise a change in
the process of collection. Two proposals
are under consideration. One is the i'm
position of straight tax of II or Is per
cent on the aggregate soda fountain re-
ceipts. The other is the sale of revenue
stamps of the denomination of the present
taxes, which stamps would be affixed to
soda fountain checks.

Three Killed i'm Auto Race at
Indianapolis Speedway

The deeds of the Roman gladiators, who
fought to the death while thousands ap-
plauded the victor, belong to a past age,
but in reading of the auto races at Speed
way, Indianapolis, on May 81, we won
der whether civilization has advanced so
very much, after all.
According to an eye witness, it was in
many ways "the most brilliant meet ever
held at the Indiana capital, but we read
that three of the contestants, two drivers
and mechanician, were killed in the early
stages of the race, when the perilous low
banked turns were crowded with the swerv-
ing steel monsters tearing along at pace
never before seen on the brick ovap'.
One young driver from the East was the
first to die. His car turned over, crushing
him beneath before the eyes of his wife who
was in the grandstand. Soon after, a gaso-
line tank exploded in the wild melee, and
two men were burned to death, while the
bands played briskly to distract attention,
and the spectators gazed curiously at the
clouds of black smoke.
All the drivers, it is said, entered the race
with full kalowledge that their cars were
too fast for the course and that they were
taking chances, but they kept grirnly ahead
after the $4,000 prize money offered the
winner.

''We believe the letter says, "that a
peace willingly signed by the German gov
ernment as representative of the German
people is one of infinitely greater value than
one forced on them by threats of famine
and far better foundation for the new
world order, to which we look forward"
A cable to The Chicago Tribune from
Paris, of May 81, said
Following the receipt of the German
counter proposals the peace conference split
into two camps-those who believe if the
peace treaty is too harsh the terms can
not be ameliorated without redrafting the
entire treaty, which the allied people will
not stand for, and those who believe GER
tain German claims are well substantiated
and should receive favorable attention.
This state of affairs is exactly what the
Germans are working for and why they
want to delay as long as possible in order
to create splits among the allies"

American Completes First Trans
Atlantic Aerial Flight

On May 27, the United States Navy sea-
plane, NC4, under Lieutenant Commander
Albert Cushing Read, swept into the har-
Dor at Lisbon, Portugal, successfully COM
pleting the first transatlantic aerial flight.
After having remained at Ponta Del
gada, Azores, for several days, because Of
adverse weather conditions, the journey
was resumed from that point at 6 :18 a. M,
Washington time, and the 300 miles to Lis
bon covered in hours and 43 minutes.
The total elapsed flying time from New
foundland to Lisbon was 20 hours and Al
minutes.
On May 80, Lieutenant Read started on
the last leg of his journey from Lisbon to
Plymouth, England, but after covering 100
miles, was forced by motor trouble to des-
cend. Later in the day, he drove his plane
