PREDICTS TREATY CHANGE,
Senator Johnson in Montana Says
Votes Are Pledged.

BUTTE. Mont, October 11.-There
are votes enough pledged in Wash
ington to beat the whole internal
peace treaty and league of nations
unless the treaty and covenant are so
amended as to protect the interests OF
the United States" Senator Hiram w.
Johnson told an audience at Butte
yesterday.
I'VE started with a very small be-
ginning in Washington, due to the
tremendous propaganda for the
treaty, which was accepted because
the people embraced any nostrum de-
signed to prevent war;" the senator
asserted. "As we learned more of 1t.
however, we began to understand the
dangers with which this covenant
was fraught."
The audience, which crowded the
city's largest theater, was one of the
most enthusiastic which Senator
johnson has met on his tour, and he
declared that during his present trip
from Portland, Me-, to Portland
Ore.," he had never faced a meeting
which affected him more singularly
than the one here.

NICE. January 2, 1919.
Dearest Ones at Home:
left Ourches the morning Of De.
eember 81, en- route to Nice for a
seven day permission. I arrived in
Paris on December %. and. as I had
some official business to attend to-,
remained there forty-eight hours. On
going to Morgan Harjes Company ]
found some letters; among them was
one from Frank Harrington, saying
that he, too, was on permission and
would reach Paris the 28th. I went
around to his customary hotel, and
there he was, to be sure. We had
not seen each other for fifteen months,
You can Just imagine our JOY. The
prodigal and his old man had nothing
on us. We have done nothing but
talk ever since. Franks leave was
for Paris, but, as could not remain
there, he had his destination changed
to Nice, and we started down here
on the morning of the 30th.
After getting on our train Frank
found out that, as a sous officer he
could not travel on that particular
train. We got off at Avignon to wait
for train on which he could travel.
We spent very pleasant day in
that historic old place. 1t is on the
Rhone, and the old castles and Roman
relics are well worth seeing. All up
and down the Rhone valley these old
castles are found with their quaint
towers and olive orchards and Vine
yards.
We finally found a train on which
we could proceed. and came to Mar
seille, but we had to stand all the
way, as the train was so crowded.
Addison. my old chef de escadrille,
was on the train, coming home on
permission, so we had another review
Of memories.
We had a nine-hour ride from Mar
seille to Nice, and arrived here sore,
stiff and sleepy. at 3 o'clock New
Year morning. We came to the Hotel
Brice. which is sort Of a family hotel,
and have taken our fill Of sleeping
ever since. -
The Mediterranean is most beauti-
full now, and the air just cool enough
to. be comfortable. This is the sea-

WALTER BRODIE, CHAMPION,
SERVES OVERSEAS MEN HERE
" In @ Hut Has Services of Man Who
Played Center on Baltimore Pennant
Winners Returned From France.

Nobody could ever get Walter
Brodie to admit that he was cham
pion and yet that Is what he was and
for several seasons at that. to wit,
three times with the Baltimore
Orioles.
Walter is now the physical man for
the ''Y" in O-hut after having been
overseas many months teaching the
boys some Of. the old tricks he used
to use back in the days when Ned
Hanl6n's pets took the laurels of the
National League away from eleven
clubs of the big cities.
Got any base balls, secretary"
the officers used to say to Walter at
Anglers and other concentration
other clubs Of the big cities.
That would invariably bring a smile
to the ''Y' mans face, for If there
is any sport that he loves better than
all others combined 1t Is the national
pastime. And Walter generally had
the supplies ready, unless a German
submarine sent a ship to the bottom
that was full of balls and bats and
such things.
But now Walter is back in this
country and he is doing a great piece
of work for the convalescent wound
ed in N and o blocks. He gets to know
those fellows in the same way that
he used to be able to call the names
of the regular attendants in the
bleachers.
Walter was distressed the other
day when Sergt. w. Howard Ram
sey, Heavy Motor Ordnance Repair
Shop, just back from France was here
and wrote a complimentary article
about the "Y" work and got away en-
a discharge before Walter discovered
his presence in camp. They knew
each other lin France and Ramsey
. did not know that Walter was back.
1t is interesting to note that old
'BilP' LANCE of the Chicago Cubs.
back in Pop" Anson's time, who is
going to France now for the "Y," to
head the athletic program, is an old
friend of Walter Brodie. They used
to play opposite each other in the old
days, and this is what Walter has
to say of Bill:
He weighed 200 pounds or more
and was an enormous fellow, but he
could run the bases better than most
of the men on Anson's team, and that
was going some. Bill is a great ball
player and know he will make a hit
with the boys over there"

lon. Joe" Kelly was In left and

Wee Willie" Keller held down the
right garden. It was never a case of
who will take it" when the ball went
anywhere near center field. Kelly
and Keller, great as they were, UNI
derstood that. Walter was on the Job
and they did not interfere with balls
in Walters territory.
In the pennant-winning days. when
the Orioles were. the terror of every
team in the United States. Brodie was
playing on the same team with
''Hughie' Jennings, and the marvel
Gus shortstop will not hesitate to tell
you that Brodie called him down
many time when the latter thought
that "Hughie" had pulled a bone.
