Leaders Doubt Whether
They Can Get a Vote
on Pittman Suggestions
81 Associntcd Press

Washington, Aug. 81. - Leaders
on both sides in the Treaty fight in
the Senate were in doubt to-day as
to when a vote would be had on the
resolution of Senator Pittman, of
Nevada, a Democrat. of the Foreign
Relations Committee, proposing res
ervations to the League of Nations
covenant separate from the resolu-
ton of ratification.
on the Republican side it was
said that if the administration
wanted a vote the move would be
welcomed, but that the ordinary
course would be for the resolution
to go first to the Foreign Relations
Committee. Senator Hitchcock, the
administration leader. indicated
there would be no effort on his part
to bring immediate action and Sen
ator Pittman said he was not GER
tain he would call the resolution up
to-day.
Senator Pittman made it clear that
in presenting the resolution he SIM
ply was carrying out his own desire
to get action along the line sug-
Eested by the President in the White
House conference to-day Other ad-
ninistration Senator'S also said they
regarded the move as taken on Mr..
Pittmans own initiative.
While the group of Republican
reservationists led by Senator Nc
Nary, of Oregon, indicated they
would stand together for reserva-
tions in the final ratification reso-
luton some of them We're not sure
that in the meantime they would not
favor the Pittman plan as a step
in the right direction.

l feel contrained to say in reply

1t due to perfect frankness to say
that 1t would in my opinion put a

Within the next few days the

Marta, Tex, Aug. 21.-The Ameri-
can punitive expedition in Mexico
took up the bandit chase at dawn
to-day for the third day across the
Border. One column picked UP the
hot trail of two bandits believed to
have been companions of the two
bandits captured late yesterday by
Captain Leonard Matlack. The pur-
suit is continuing over mountain
peaks, down steep slopes and through
mountain valleys.
BY sunrise airplanes left the

FORMAL PEACE MUST
WAIT RATIFICATION
WILSON TELLS FALL
In Reply to Twenty Questions of Senator
Says Early Action Would Certainly
Reduce High Cost of Living
ALLIES TRUSTEES OF
GERMANYS COLONIES

Washington, Aug. 21.-President
Wilson has not the power to ds-
clare peace by proclamation, nor
could he consent in any circum-
stances to take such a course prior
to the ratification of a formal
Treaty of Peace by the Senate. The
President so wrote Senator Fall to-
day in answer to one of the twenty
written questions the Senator pre-
sented at the White House confer
ence Tuesday.
Replying to another question, the
President said the provision of tie
Treaty that it should come into
force after ratification by Germany
and three of the principal associ-
ated powers operated merely to Co.
tablish peace between these ratify-
ing powers and that it was "ques-
tionable whether it can be said that
the League of Nations is in any
true sense created by the asSoCla-
ton of only three of the Allied and
associated governments"
Will Bring Down Prices
AS to the question of when nor
NAL conditions might be restored
the President said he could only
express the confident opinion that
immediate ratification of the Treaty
and acceptance of the Covenant OF
the League as written would Ger
tainly, within the near future, re-
duce the cost of living, both in
this country and abroad through
the restoration of production and
commerce to normal.
To Senator Falls questions relat-
ing to the disposition of Germanys
possessions, the President said the
arrangement in the Treaty convey
ed no title to the Allied or asso-
ciated powers, but merely "intrus,s
disposition of the territory in ques-
ton to their decision"
Allies as Trustees
"Germany's renunciation in favor
of the principal Allied and asso-
ciated powers" the President con-
tinued, "of her rights and titles to
her overseas possessions, is meant
similarly to operate as vesting IN
those powers a trusteeship with re-
spect of their final disposition and
government"

AND YOUNG TOPARK
Youngsters and Their Elders Enjoy
Annual Outing With Games and
Contests on Fairgrounds
4 900 LINE UP FOR LUNCH;
SUMMERS WORK IS DISPLAYED

The children of the city are hav-
ing one of the best times of their
lives on the best day or the sum-
mer. OF course you all know what
day it is. Sure, Romper Day, which
the late Samuel Kunkel, who
founded it, said was always the hap
piest day of the year for him.
And that it is the happiest day
of the year for thousands of kid
dies can not be denied when one
sees the JOY with which they en-
tered into the games and sports
which the playground instructors
had planned for to-day. Everyone
was out in force, whether in their
play clothes of rompers or breeches,
as the case might be, or in more
formal attire that demanded decor
Gus conduct by it's wearer.
just Couldn't Wait
The day really began at much
earlier hour than s o'clock, but it
was not official and so not recorded
in the program. But it's a sure fact
that in thousands of Harrisburg
homes this morning the first rays
of the sun saw Johnny and Henry
and Katie and Susie and u million
of their like calling Justify for break
fast so that they might not be late
for the first special cars which were
due to pull away from each city
playground at an early hour.
Each car as it arrived at Reser-
voir Park disgorged its load of laugh
ing, shouting children, who imme-
diately proceeded to swarm all over
the western side of the park and
throng the places where the games
were scheduled to be run off. As
the cars continued to arrive and the
park filled up, the instructors from
the different Fairgrounds began the
championship games.

This was another big excursion
day ON the Pennsy. The Cumber-

eXcursionists, and several trains

wero numbered with the pleasure

Harrisburg this afternoon at 4.O5
and running through to Atlantic City
carried several hundred passengers
from this city. 1t is estimated tn {
Harrisburg contributed about 1000
excursionists to-day. The tickets
sold for $6.4S good for the round
