Wilson Can't Choke on Debate.

Washington, Feb. 11-Senate leaders
today knew of no addresses planned
Immediately on the proposed constitu-
ton for the league Of nations, but
they reiterated their doubts whether
senate debate could be retrained as
requested by President Wilson, until
after Feb. 26, when the members of
the foreign affairs committees of both
houses are to confer with the pres
ident.
While both republican ana demo-
cratic leaders and members Of the
committees seemed willing to COM
ply with the presidents request. they
pointed out that discussion of the
subject could not be prevented if
some senator's should insist upon
speaking. In an attack upon the
league plan, It was suggested, was
sure to draw reply and precipitate
debate.
There was much informal talk at
the capital about the situation. One
democratic senator who has spoken In
opposition to the league said he in
tended to speak again whenever the
time was opportune. Senator Gore,
Of Oklahoma, said:
Apparently the nation, except cab
met officers and expresidents Is to
20 into a state of catalepsy on the
question for at least ten days.
Britain Unioads Burden"
Americanism versus internationalism
IL destined to be the burden Of the
debate in congress over the league OF
nations constitution which President
Wilson is bringing home to champion.
The opposition to the plan formu-
lated by the peace conference commits
sion, Of which Mr.. Wilson was chair
man, is not to league Of nations but
to the particular form Of league which
was drafted by General SHUTS,
espoused by the British. and eventual
ly approved with some minor add!-
tions by the president.
Supremacy Of Ssas.
General Smuts did not conceal his
belief in the vast benefit which the
British would derive from a league Of
nations, and, In fact. he portrayed the
British empire as the prototype Of a
world organization. With a league of
nations guarding the peace OF the
world Great Britain will be relieved Of
much Of the burden OF international
policing. At the same time, Great
Britain has been careful to retain
under tho league plan full freedom to
maintain supremacy OF the seas and
70 relinQuish no vital rights. *

Paris, Feb. l6.-The financial situ-
alton Of France is being given serious
attention by The various committees
and groups Of the chamber deputies.
where it will be the subject of an in
terpelation at an eaAy date.
Frances war expenses are expected
to reach a total of $4,000 100000
francs with resources to meet it of
l5S,OOO, 100000 francs showing q defi-
cit of $4,000. 100000. These resources
comprise 1S,O00.000,000 francs from
taxation: $4,000. 100000 from four war
loans; 10000, 100000 francs advanced
by the bank Of France, the product Of
short time treasury bonds together
with advances made by the allies and
credits opened in foreign countries.
In addition to the 24,OO0,O0O, 900 de-
felt there are exceptional expenses OF
an estimated total Of 26,000,000.o00 and
make the total deficit $4,000, 100000
francs.
1t is reckoned that the expenses for
1920 viii! be 1880, ,O00,00 francs OF
which the existing budget can supply
only 5000, O,0O0, 900 francs. The gques-
ton is therefore, being discussed In
French quarters whether apart from
German war contributions new d1vi-

to distribute more equitably the bur-
den which it is contended weighs more
heavily on France than on the others.
chafins at Peace Delay.
Premier Borden's speech here last
NIGHT. in which he criticised the delay.
in consummating peace while the
troops are anxious to return to their
homes, has made an undoubted i'm
preston in Paris.
The same view is said 20 be taken
by some Americans. while the British
are not Indifferent to the demands OF
their territorial contlngents. which are
supported by the labor e,c,nent of Eng
land.
Stephen Pichon, in discussing OBJ
stacles to an immediate peace during
a talk with newspaper correspondents
today, said there were many reasons
why the treaty could not be signed at
once, even though the league Of ma
tions project was out of the way.
Many issues that will form the basis OF
peace, he said, were being. carefully
studied Among them is the disposi-
ton of many fragments into which
the former Austrian empire has beer,
divided, and another is the treatment
to be accorded Bulgaria.
The French people, he added, want
peace but they realize at the same
time the danger of precipitate and un-
satisfactory solutions.

told in legendary lore that Orion is
still afraid of the scorpin and in proof
of the same when he sees the terrible
reptile rising in the East he, with his
host of brilliant attendants rapidly
disappear below the western horizon.
In ancient times the alchemists re-
garded the Scorpin as their lucky sign,
for it was only when this constellation
was visable that iron and other base
metals could be transmitted into gold.
Antaras. a first magnitude star. is the
lucida of this group and is said to be
very old. The word old as applied to
a decaying sun has a world of mean
ing. For untold millions sof years
Anatras has been casting his mighty
brilliance upon worlds innumerable,
and now. even he is falling into old
age and decrepitude. 1t shines with
a duh and sullen lustre like the dying
embers of some great cohflagration.
In a few more thousands of years its
fires will cease to glow and it will be
wrapped in the icy embrace of death,

THE REAL FACTS ARE
WANTED.

CTff ANY people would like
3A7 know the truth about
~ the spruce production
work in the northwest but it is
difficult to form a fair impress
sion from published reports re-
garding the work of the con-
gressional sub committee. 1t is
obvious that the Republican
chairman of the sub committee
is handling the matter from a
political angle and that the
Democratic member, likewise
inspired by politics, is endeav-
oring to offset his work. Such
methods of inquiry are not the
sort that should be used. There
is danger that the final de-
cision will be influenced more
by politics than by the facts in
the case. There should be
a disinterested investigation.
When the aircraft work first
came under criticism the pres
ident appointed his former op-
ponent, Judge Charles E..
Hughes, to make an investiga-
ton. An inquiry into the spruce
production activities by a
board headed by a man of such
calibre as Hughes would be
more to the point.

THE PUBLIC HOLDS THE
KEY.

~ DECLINE in food prices
M in Chicago is attributed
- primarily to the refusal
of housewives to buy high
priced foods. In the hog busi-
ness this has forced the pack
ers to curtail killings and farm
ers shipping hogs to market
while the demand is light find
the price depressed in natural
consequence The consumer is
the beneficiary.
What has occurred in Chi
cago can be duplicated else
where if the consumers but
wish to do so. By suspending
purchases in any line the pub
lie can force down prices. High
prices are the result not merely
of scarcity but of eager de-
mand. When one commodity
goes too high buy something
else or do without. Mr.. Barnes,
of the grain corporation, ar
CUES that if people Will eat less
meat and more wheat products
they can obtain the same food
values and save the country
several billions a year on the
food bill. He is doubtless right
about it.
In a large degree the public
carries in it's own hands the So
luton to the cost of living
problem.

SOCIALIST FACTIONS
IN R|OTOUS SESSION

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.--Leaders of
factions of the socialist party, in con-
vention for the first time since the
United States entered the war. are
preparing for a tussle which will de-
eide whether the so-called radical
wing or the conservatives shall domi-
nate. The meeting came near break
ing up last night even before it had
officially met when numerous MEM
bers were forcibly rejected from the
hall. Conservatives said the small
minority had announced its intentions
of making the gathering a "bolshe-

NOT ENOUGH BUT TOO
MUCH.

q ENATOR KNOX yester-
- day assailed the treaty
. on the ground that it is
too harsh on Germany and
should be rejected.
AS to harshness it may be
answered that Germany waged
a heartless war and would
have imposed harsher terms
had she been victorious. Both
France and England demand
ed harsh terms for Germany
and had much to justify them
in doing so.
But the interesting point is
that Knox should now oppose
the treaty out of consideration
for Germany. At first the OBJ
structionists based their objec-
tion on the ground that Amer
lean rights were neglected.
They have been driven from
that position by the president
and now base their objections
on sympathy for China, which
is not sincere, and on the
ground that Germany is en-
titled to a softer peace.
One moment the presidents
critics worry because we ended
the war too soon and did not
completely annihilate the en-
emy's army; then comes Knox
with his tears because the
peace trims are too severe. In
other words the critics COM
plain that our army did not
whip the enemy enough but
that the allied statesmen have
whipped them too much.
If the INSTRUCTORS think they
can make headway with such
logic it is their privilege to try
it.

SECOND IN SEA POWER.

@HOR obvious reasons, dur
n ing the war information
- about the strength of the
United States Navy was with
held from publication. From
the official figures now made
available through the Navy
Yearbook, after two years of
silence, the American people
may measure the changes that
have taken place in their favor
in relative sea power, declares
the New York World.
This country is securely in
second position, with large
tonnage of new construction in
sight that when completed will
shorten the long lead of Great
Britain. Including all classes
of fighting craft, from battle
ships to torpedo-boats and SUBJ
marines, Great Britain stands
at the top with 2,415,962 tons
and the United States is second
with 931,803. Next comes Ja-
pan and France in close order,
with Germany in fifth place.
With the sinking of the Ger
man ships in Scapa Flow and
the surrender of its u boats,
Germany actually is worse off
than on the surface appears.
In battle ships of various
types Great Britain has So, the
United States 80, Japan IL and
France 18. The difference in
class is reflected in the Mississ-
ippi, which cost over $13, ,550,-
900, and the Michigan, which
cost $6.650,000; yet both are
dreadnaughts. Ofbattle-cruis-
ers, of which we have none,
Great Britain has 9 and Japan
z.
The United States came
through the war with the loss
of only 13 naval vessels. Ger

er, having 1877 submarines to
