The District Attorney. accompanied
by Ferdinand Pecora and Albert b. Un-
ger, two of his aids, went to the Board
OF Elections and started their investi-
cation yesterday afternoon. A special
room was set aside for their use. Mr..
Pecora began comparing the signatures
on the signature books. which we're sup
posed to be signed by the voters in the
primaries. with the original signatures
made when the voter registered a year
ago.
In the Thirty-second election district
of the Twenty-fourth Assembly district,
according to the District Attorney, the
returns indicated that siXty-flve votes
had been cast, of which fifty-four were
credited to La Guardia and eleven re-
jected
why should this be?" asked the Dis
trict Attorney. He intends, he said. to
subpoena every person who was reported
as having voted and ask them who they
voted for.
If this lead develops any fraud he will

him to open the ballot boxes. Mr.. Swami

BENNETT STILL FIGHTS
Swami Inspects Returns and
His Aids Find Some
Discrepancies.

One OF the issues upon which Repre-
sentative f. H. La Guardia, the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the
Board of Aldermen, will make his cam
paign, he declared in Washington last
night was the granting by the city Of
the increased scale Of wages demanded
by the policemen and nremen.
81 am willing to make that an issue.
so that the people may have an oppor-
tunity to express themselves on that
question" he said. II shall base my
platform on the idea that the citizens of
New York, stockholders in the largest
corporation in the world, shall have a
real voice In the spending of their money.
My platform will include economy in
city expenditures"
Representative La Guardia said that
throughout his campaign, which he will
open at the Bayside Republican Clur
on Monday night, he would express the
feeling of thousands that the Demo-
cratic administrations, national, state
and city, are unworthy of support
Mr. La Guardia said he hoped to de-
vote the greater part OF his time from
now until election day to his campaign
Bennett Makes Prediction.
William M. Bennett, who charges thai
he was counted out in his race for the
Republican nomination in opposition te
Representative La Guardia, ventured Q
prediction last night. Referring to the
steps he has taken to prove his asser'
tons, he said:
IT predict that the result will show
that I am the Republican nominee. and
I also predict that I shall be elected
President of the Board Of Alderman
on November l."
Because the star of the Board OF
Elections was busy going over the
official returns to make their report
within 100 hours after the primary, al
required by law, Mr.. Bennett made no
further attempt to examine the night
slips yesterday.
There are 20 many discrepancies In
the returns have already inspected" he
said. that In my opinion the official
canvass will on the face Of the returns
declare me to be the nominee. In that
event there will be no necessity for a
recount. In the meantime, however
papers are being drawn and the neces-
sary steps are being taken to get every
tn ing in shape for an application to the
court early next week. as soon as the
result Of the official canvass has been
announced"
District Attorney Swami announced
that he would begin n John Doe proceed
ing and summon persons who were Sup
posed to have voted In the primary but
who there was reason to believe had not
done so. The indication that frauds had
been committed in certain districts
seemed convincing, he declared. 1t was
particularly suspicious, he thought, that
Mr.. Bennett had been credited with nc
votes in many election districts.
In many OF those districts, the friends
of Representative La Guardia point out
he got only one or two or three OF -four
votes himself.

growing states. Blights attacks, short age of fertilizer. shortage of help or poor seed-any one of the numberless factors which injure the crop In any of these states-affect the whole country as well.
 New York, Vermont, New Hamp. shire, Virginia and Delaware also pro- duce small surpluses of the tuber. They grow enough potatoes for their own use, and a small quantity for ex- port. The other states, however-the great states of the corn belt-Ken- lucky, West Virginia and all the great South, have to buy nearly all the po- tatoes they consume.
 It Is too early yet to prophecy as to the 1919 crop. Whatever Its size it will be consumed. Anything that helps in growing it must have the support of every one. Seed must be carefully conserved. Fertilizer must move promptly, and be on the farm, ready for use, when spring breaks. Perhaps the best way to handle this latter prob lem Is for farmers to place orders now, and then, when they are hauling the present crop to market, take back n load of fertilizer.

POTASH ON POTATOES

Years ago when the country was still new, and long before the bugs and the beetles. and the bllghts, tho scabs and the scurfs, the wet rots and the dry rots came in incl easing num- bers to destroy the crop, potatoes were fcrtilized with potash.
 It was done unconscious;y. As the settlers cleared the land. the great logs and the brush were burned, leaving on the soil fair dressing of potash contained In wood ashes. Tradition say IS that the best potatoes were grown on new land treated In this way, and that never after were potatoes grown of as good quality and as good eating as was this first crop.
 We "aE'' Ise ashes HOW for prac- tic~ily Ill vI our soils ara old and in- fected with scub fungus. The lime In wood ashes increases the trouble from scab, but potatoes need potash just as much as they ever did. It adds to tae quality just the same as 1t did two and three generations ago when some of our farms were just being cleared.
 A single pound of potash in potato fertilizer makes about hushel of po- tatoes. At the Maine state agricul- tural experiment station 2 per cent of potash in the fertilizer mixture Cor n total application of 45 pounds of pot ash per acre) increased the yield by 43 bushels. At the New Jersey ex- pertinent station the same quantity of potash increased the acre yield by about n bushels. On the eastern shore of Virginia per cent potash In the fertilizer made 35-bushel in- crease in the crop, while per cent added nearly 90 bushels to the total crcp.
 The potato crops for the past three years have been grown without ap- piled potash. There has also been in- creasing evidence that the residues left !n the soil by past fertilization have been pretty thoroughly drawn upon, and for this reason 1t Is doubly for tun&tc that American lnvcntiveness and ingenuity has developed sources of American potash, so that the po- tato crop may not lack this important plant food.

The rccunSt "uction of t..e world would be impossible without he work of women.
 Somewhere in your own community you can prove how true tLis is.
 Forty million women during the great war. through unselfish devotion, helped tho Government finance its Ltb- erty Loans. %%'hey answered the na- tion's call for cantccn workers and Red Cross nurses and assistants.

4 PATRIOTIC DUTY

You were asked to give up wheat, and you did it. You were asked to economize on sugar, and you did 1t. You were asked to observe heatless Mon- day and gasless Sundays-and you did that too.
 These were wartime meas ures designed to accomplish specific purposes. There is an- other wartime measure which every farmer anG truck gardener who expects to use fertilizers next spring must observe.
 Fertilizers must be ordered now and shipment accepted al once. Fertilizer factory forces have been severely cut down and 1t Is only by starting in now and running every day un' til spring that anything np- preaching an adequate supply of fertilizers can he produced. The farmer must hpln hy set ting the finished goods out of the factory and out of the way so more goods can he made.

political Terrorism
lnu0ked in Behalf of
League. Says Johnson

WASHINGTON, July. 14.-..Political
terroism" used in behalf of the league
Of nations was charged tonight by
Senator Hiram Johnson, Of California,
on his return from stumping tour
through New England.
The propaganda, intellectual cocr-
cion and political terrorism for the
league Of nations has been so tremen-
dous that communities have been un-
able to know the real facts" said SEN
ator Johnson. 'There had been in
many plaes no public expression of the
other side of the question, of the pa
triotism Of our people or the Ameri-
canism which most feel.
The New England meetings indi-
Gated marked sentiment against the
present league Of nations. They have
demonstrated that our people do not
want ,entanglng foreign alliances, and
will not, if they can prevent it, subject
the republic to the domination of for
eign nations. The dominant note every
where was Americanism, an American
ism which would ever do its duty by
humanity and civilization, but which
would for itself determine when and
how that duty should be performed.
"lfound in New England what sus-
pect exists everywhere the ad-
vocates of the league, by insisting every
view but theirs meant advocacy Of war,
and by the very ferceRess of theirSop-
position, accompanied by denunclation
and often harsh epithets, had ,tifled
free expression and frank discussion.
The marvellous meetings held have
dispelled the fear and destroyed the
coercion and terrorism."

Japan Thinks China
VIII Sign Peace Treaty
Picking Official attends Peace
Function After Refusing to
.4DDeUr mt The First 4fn;,.

TOXIC, July ID (By The Associated
Pres "A brilliant official celebration
held in Toxic to commemorate the
bringing about of peace with Germany
was marked by an incident which was
interpreted in Japanese political cir
cies as indicating that China would
eventually sign the peace treaty.
Viscount Uchida the Foreign Minis
ter, gave peace dinner to the diplo-
matte corps, which was followed by a
ball. The Chinese charge d'affaires
declined to attend. While the excuse
offered for the attendance was
illness, it was learned that the rca!
reason was that he had received a
telegram from Peking ordering him to
absent himself. This was considered
as an additional protest against the
Shantung settlement provided for in
the treaty and caused a furry in off
cial circles.
To-day Premier Hara gave an elab-
crate reception, which was attended
by 1000 persons, at which the sudden
arrival of the Chinese representative
came in the nature Of a sensation.
Replying to an inquiry by the cor
respondent the Chinese representative
said he had attended in pursuance of
telegraphic authority from Peking. He
was not informed, he added. whether
China meant to sign the treaty even

tries if they saw fit to do so," said
Senator Kellogg.
"If the reservation were inconsistent
with any term of the treaty it would
be change to that extent Of the
treaty, would it not?" asked Senator
Pittman.
"If the reservation changes any of
the substantial terms of the treaty,
/ replied Senator Kellogg, sit is a
change as to this country and, Of
course, can be objected to by any other
country and must either be directly or
tacitly accepted by that country"
'In other Words" said Senator Pitt
Of the terms Of the treaty by reserva-
ton, just as we'll as by amendment,
then it is such change of the con-
tract that was entered into by the
negotiators that it must go back to the
other negotiators for their consent"
Senator Kellogg said that any amend
ments would have to be accepted by
the other parties if they changed a
contract in the treaty.
Would Lead to Renegotiation
"If the language of the contract is
changed" said Senator Pttman, at is
! not for the party changing it to deter
mine its effect, but the other party to
the contract has the right always to
determine its effect. If we change the
language Of this contract by amend
| ment or reservation we may not think
| that the change Of language consti-
tutes any change OF substance, and
yet. no matter what the change is, the
other contracting party must agree as
we agree or it does not change the sub
stance OF the contract. Otherwise it is
not a contract. In other words, there
is not a reservation that we can place
in this treaty that does not necessi-
tate renegotiaVon and reconsidera-

Of it, and it is then deposited by the

nations, that it would not be binding

"This matter is of too vital import
to this country, as we'll as to the rest
of the world, for US to have anything
but definite understanding, said Sen
! ator Pittman. 1--WE are not going to
be bound by this treaty until we know
that the nations with whom we assume
obligations are also bound. That is the
only thing the President of the tAited
States will accept. That is the only
thing the Senate of the United States
