POLK OPTIMISTIC
 ON GERMAN TREATY Quoted in Paris Papers as
 Thinking Senate Will Ratily WILSON HAS CONFERENCE
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont First on Calling List Today-Will Vote for Treaty With Reservations, He Says.

Paris, July 30 (Havas) Frank L. Polk, American assistant secretary of state, who arrived here yesterday to become head of the American peace delegation, was quoted today by several newspapers as optimistic re- garding the ratification of the Ger man peace treaty by the United States senate.
 Considers Bulgarian Terms
 The terms to be presented to the Bulgarian delegation which is here awaiting the completion of the treaty were said to be the principal object of MT Folks attention but, it was added, he was understood not to have brought with him President Wilson's decision on the disposition of Thrace.
 The presidents decisions on other problems, especially the mandates for Turkey or Armenia, the Hungarian situation and the Russian question, the papers said, probably will be made known by MT. Polk.
 Don't Want Any Mandates
 It is the impression in peace con- ference circles, the papers said in connection with interviews with Mir. Polk, that the United States will not accept any mandaes and that Great Britain probably will assume man. date for Constantinople and Turkey.
 MT. Pork was quoted as expressing pleasure at being in position to strengthen further the bonds of friendship beetween the United States and France. He said he was glad to be at the head of the American dele gation where he could serve not only the interests of his own country but those of France

has been able, by using food as i

ladder while juggling on the end
of his nose a billiard cue. on which
is balanced small ball. Upon
reaching the top of the ladder, with
a flip Of his head he throws the bill

ladder to the floor, where he losses
the ball to the trainer.
Then there is the performance Of

fifth makes the bass drum reSOund

pleasure in it,
In a class by itself, however. in
the world of performing animals,
is the bell solo performed by this

series of buttons rugged up to bells
present somewhat the appearance
of the manual of a piano In this
the sea lion actually picks
out the notes of a musical piece,
nodding his head when he presses
the right one. and growing softly
to himself if he by any chance
plays the wrong note. He really
seems pleased at his capabi!ity. :
and instinctively knows when he is
not giving the proper performance.

Can Be Taught More Than Dog
According to the trainer of the
performing sea lions in one of the
largest cirCuscS in this country,
and who probably knows more
about these animals than any other
man in the world, the sea lion can
be taught more things than any
other animal. not excepting the
dog There is scarcely any work
these beasts can not be trained to
do When it is realized that they
can do juggling tricks impossible
for men. an idea can be formed of
how many other things they can
do.
The California sea lion is the
most adaptable for training pur-
poses and is more intelligent than
the fur seal of the Arctic regions
The large sea lions from South
America are too dangerous to be
handled easily. When two or three
years of age the California sea
lions are at their best age for train

regularly he is at the stage where
training can be started. When

tiCularly if the latter lays hands on

by wearing a long, heavy pair Of
gaunti"tS, which the sea lion can
not pierce with his teeth.
From this stage on the animal is
taken from his cage three or four
times day for short periods. He
is started in his training with a
large ball. 1t is tossed at him

Even Elephants
Must Be Spanked


, In recent exchange il is stated
that elephants are amazingly like
human beings in the way they dis

tells an amusing incident seen by a
French traveller in an extensive
lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants were

played about the yard. .- eie'
plant that attracted the travellers
particular attention was hauling, in
her chain harness, huge tree trunks
from the bank of the river. She
had a heavy load fact that her
offspring did not realize. Bent on
playing a prank he wound his lit
cit trunk about one of the chain
traces and pulled back with all o:
his strength.
Conscious of the suddenly in-
creased weight the mother stopped
and looked around. She saw tho
youngster back there, and shook
her head sOlcmnly. but paying no
further heed to his teasing, bent
again to her work Meanwhile,
however. the little rascal with his
mischievOuS trunk, had loosened
the ring that fastened the traces to
the load.
While the mother was straihing
to set her burden in motion again,
her rascally son pulled with all of
his might against her, and pulled
so sturdily that she was quite un,
aware that she had been discon,
nected from her load. Then, sud
denly. the youngster let go. Nat
urally enough, the mother was
thrown to her knees, and her driver
hurled in wide circle from her
back
The culprit sought a huge wood
pile that seemed to offer at least a
temporary protection. His mother.
however, was soon in pursuit, and
he had to flee. Round and round
the wood-pile he lodged, but his
mother, with her iron harness,
changing noisily behind her, kept
close at his heels.

then he endured without a murmur,
although with many tears, a sound

him up. With tears still streaming
and with dropping trunk, he took
his disconsolate way out of the
yard.
The little fellow had won the
complete sympathy of the observer.
