Crimea by the bosheviki, he has

during which time he has been many
times reported killed. Today comes
a dispatch from Stockholm that he
has arrived there from London to
take part in a great "war council" at
which the finishing touches are to
be put upon the plan for a concerted

DR.. Muck was in bitter mood
today as he took his departure from
the land in which he had been ap-

COMPROMISE ON
COVENANT GOES
IN THE DISCARD
Democratic and Republican
Leaders Refuse to As
sumo Responsibility.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The com.
promise proposal to have the senate
adopt peace treaty reservations, but
keep them separate from the ratifi
fication itself, was put aside indef.
initely Thursday after democratic
leaders had declined to assume re.
sponsibility for it and republicans oi
all shades of opinion had given no.
tice they could not accept it.
Among the republicans the devel.
opment was interpreted as meaning
that action never would be sought
on the proposal in its present form
and democratic leaders generally
said they had no plans for bringing
it to a vote.
Meantime White House an
nouncement and an executive session
Of the foreign relations committee
brought to the surface again two
other issues of the treaty fight.
President Wilson, replying to a
suggestion that he might put the
country on peace basis by declar-
ing the war at an end, announced
that he not only considered himself
powerless to take such step, but
considered peace declaration either
by himself or congress prior to rati-
fication of the treaty would put a
stain upon our national honor" by
evading responsibility in the world
peace settlement
The foreign relations committee
got into another argument over
prompt committee action on the
treaty which ended by a decision
without a record vote, to continue
its hearings, to receive the cases of
the Irish, Creek, Egyptian, Lithuan-
ian, Ukrainian and Esthonian and
Lettish races.
y In every democratic quarter, in
cluding the White House, it was
indicated that the compromise pro-
posal as presented yesterday in a
resolution by Senator Pittman of
Nevada, a democrat of the commit
tee, was not specifically sponsored
by the president, though it followed
generally his suggestion to the COM
mittee Tuesday regarding reserva-
tions.

THEY'RE NOT w. c. T. u.
BUT WOMEN-"NIBBLERS."

New York, Aug. 2l.-The wom-
ans city club has once more come
to the fore as a champion of human
liberty. Some of the members who
are not followers of the w. c. T. U.
have worn anxious looks since July
], but their gloom has been dispelled
by the adoption of a new regulation
to this effect:
Charge for storing wine for
members in cellar. rs cents for s
bottles. Charge for corking and
service, 10 cents.
Members may not store more
than E bottles at one time"

obtained to accommodate the influx
