TREATY MAY co INTO
EFFECT DECEMBER

Paris, Nov. 21.-While the SUI
preme council did not positively de-
eide today to put the peace treaty
with Germany into effect on Decem-
Der 1, its members agreed it would
be desirable to do so. An effort will
be made to have all preparations for
enforcement of the treaty completed
by that date and it probably will be
put into effect very early in Decem-
Der, regardless of the failure of the
United States to ratify the treaty.
The American delegates declare
themselves still hopeful that a com
promise will be arranged in the sem
ate, but the French and British peace
delegates are apparently less optimis
tic and inclined to prepare to carry
out the treaty without American CO.
operation. Suggestions that another
treaty more to the liking of the Eu-
ropean Allies be negotiated appar-
emily are not seriously taken.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

The jefferson Post of the Ameri.
can Legion located at Louisville
have scored another victory for the
100 per cent Americanism.
Fritz Kreisler, violinist and off.
Ger in the Austrian army was to give
concert in Louisville on Thursday
night. The American Legion took
the stand against Kreisler on the
ground that to receive him in Louis
vile is not consistent with 100 per
cent, Americanism. The Jefferson
Post received the support Of the larg
est civic and patriotic organizations
of the city, including the Board of
Trade, the Rotary and Kievains Club,
the Sons of the Revolution, and 9TH
er organizations with a total member
ship of thousands.
AS a result of this movement,
Mayor Smith wrote a letter to Mr..
Foley, manager for Kreisler request
ing that the concert be postponed in
definitely.
The request was granted-and
Fritz Kreislef, Austrian officer, did
not play in Louisville.

AS the scholastic year progresses
it is evident that the Thrift movem't

reasons the Treasury Department
