Debido. a este incidente, cuando el
sefior Barbosa termino su discurso, el
senador Tous Soto dijo que Sc debfa
castigar a la persona responsible de
haber dejado pasar la parada de car
naval por aquel sitio, sabiendo que
estaba el Senado en- session; ;que era una
falta de respeto, lanzanda los legis-
ladores de Puerto Rico.
Ell senador Susoni dice que ell sena-
dor Iglesias lego 10 que lie convenia,
pero que debido a su pericia Sc habia
podido descubrir que los argumentos
presentados por 81, habian sido desme-
nuzados por el senior Barbosa.

el Sr. Iglesias un articulo del peri6di-
co El TEMPO, en- donde el corresponsal
especial de los Estados Unidos expli-
ca como han sido invitados para dar
un paseo por la isla, por ell seiior Cor

Congreso Americana.
No es que tengan deseos de venir,
nj tan siquiera han pensado en- clio, es
solamente una invitaci6n particular
del sefor Comisionado. Dice que hace

Dijo que no era NADIA mas que un

pasear y darse gusto a Puerto Rico.
"Pero 81 ustedes quieren ,demostrar Ia
gratitud al gran pals americana, de Ia
1nica manera que este proyecto ten
drfa la simpatfa de todo Puerto Rico
seria 81 esos senores vinieran con ca

FL senador Garcia hace uso de la pa
labra para decirle al senador Iglesias
que al principle de su peroracion casi

Dice que el seior Iglesias sc expresa
de este modo cuando esta en- Puerto

Dice que Hawai- Y Puerto Rico tenian

Estados Unidos.
Sc levanta el senador Barbosa para
decir que el estaba conforme con la

ALWAYS THE GOAT.

We notice everybody's pay goes
up and with few exceptions the
only one whom the public is being
educated into believing should
work for nothing or at the Same
low price is the newspaper. We
believe the laborer is worthy of his
hire, have always so believed and
preached, but that is not the gen.
eral wav,fsf thinking. Lately w,
were asked to bid on the town
printing; after mature consider&.
ton we reached the conclusion thai
the present pay was mot sufficient
Iy ample for the space demanded
and if local plants bid against one
another the results must be disast
rous, so rather than accept for less
than fair value we refralned fron
bidding. If the price paid TWEEN
ty five years back was adequate
it is inadequate to day. 1t is time
newspapers ceased being goats Il
they care to retain their self re
spect, power for good and advan
cement in their respective com
ties.-ThibodeauX Journal.

Children CRY
FOR FLETChER'S
G ASTo RIA

Many persons feel offended be-
cause their comings and goings are
not mentioned while those of 9th
ers are, and wonder the reason for
it. The explanation of the matter
is that the editor means to be i'm
partial. but some escape mention.
The likes and dislikes of an edi-
tor have nothing to do with 1t.
and while it is not pretended that
the editor is more than human, he
knows that the success OF his
journal depends on his fairness
and impartiality to all. 1t is the
best way always when a notice is
desired to mention i. TO the editor,
or communicate through the post
office. No one feels any worse
about any seeming neglect or par
tial performance of duty than the
editor himself.-Ex.

Early last week the JugoslaV
delegates to the peace conference
asked President Wilson to act as
arbitrator in the differences with
Italy regarding the eastern coast
of the Adriatic. President Wilson
suggested that the Italians and
Jugoslavs discuss their dltferen-
ces. The Italians declined to
make a decision at that time
Later the Jugoslav delegates ap-
pealed to Premier Clemenceau as
president Of the conference to act
as arbitrator, but there have been
no reports that the French leaders
took any action on the question.

TIMELY NOTES FOR THE
HOME GARDEN.

The proper watering Of young
plants in the hotbed has much to
do with their general health and
progress. To control the supply
of water it is necessary to provide
against entrance Of rain and ex-
cessive amounts Of soil moisture.
Where the soil is water-logged
the frame should be placed on the
surface and an earth layer banked
up around it. Then, Of course, the
top should be made so that it will
shed water. The soil layer should
be of type that drains well. The
addition Of sand to this layer
makes it looser, causing it to dry
out faster. and this, together with
surface cultivation, will minimize
the danger of damp-off disease.
Remember that seed should never
be sown broadcast, or it will be I'M
possible to stir the soil around the
plants.)
Plants while kept under cover
| should be watered moderately
even sparingly-and none at all
during cloudy or rainy weather or
when the air is growing colder. If
this practice is adhered to and the
surface soil between the rows
kept loose, so that it will dry
quickly, one. should, with the other
conditions that spacing gives
namely. sunlight. fresh air, etc
be able to grow plants that will
yield their maximum of fruit

Until one day he sought
To take little nap alone
And he awoke with one less

The story is a good one, yet,
It's not so very strangSS
My friend has found to hQreeret
That humans do not change.

And then he slept. At break or

He woke-and fifteen bones

MILITARY PARTY BITTERLY
RESENTS ARM1STICE
q TERMS.

London. Feb. 1S.-Advices re.
ceived from Berlin by way OF
Basel today are to the effect that
3fhe pan-German military party
.sheaded by Field Marshal vor
Hlnbergurg, bitterly resents the
new clauses in the armistice, es.
peclally those limiting the German
army to the size of simple police
force, the supervision Of control OF
ammunition factories and the de.
mand that Germany pay the ex.
penses Of the Allied armies Of oc-
cupation on the Rhine.
The conditions, it is complained
will throw out Of work thousands
Of German officers, from generals
downward. while the army of six
hundred thousand volunteers re-
ported by the German press to
have been organized must be dis
banded. O.
The advices and that indlgna-
ton against Matthias Erzberger on
the part Of the military authorities
has increased.
Would Cause Moral Collapse.
Berlin. Feb. 10.-The German
governments reasons for accept
ing the stringent terms for the re-
newal of the armistice. as outlined
in a Weimar dispatch to the Nord
Deutche Allgemeine Zeitung, is
that a renewal Of military opera
tons following refusal to sign
would lead to the complete moral
collapse of the German people
The absolute conviction prevailed
that refusal to sign, or dilatory
treatment Of the proposals, would
meet with an immediate advance
of the Allied armies beyond the
Rhine, involving the occupation OF
the most important and indispen-
sable industrial districts of West
Germany.

ties who participated in the cao-
met deliberations agreed unar-

VARDAMAN OPENS DEBATE
AGAINST NATIONS
LEAGUE,

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Opposl-
ton III the Senate to the constltu-
ton of League of Nations began
today to take definite form. Sen
ator Boarh of Idaho, Republican
member of the foreign relations
committee, formally declined to
accept President Wilson's invita-
ton to attend the White House
dinner February 26, and Senator
Polndexter of Washington, Re
publican. announced he would
speak IN the Senate tomorrow I'D
criticism of the league plan. All
members of the Senate foreign re
latlons committee except Mr.. b.
rah plan to attend the Presiden: S
dinner to discuss with him the
constitution of the league and Ii
was expected that they would
abide by the President s request to
refrain from opening discussion of
the matter until that time. Gen.
eral debate in the Senate. how
ever, may follow Senator Pom
dexter s address.
Open criticism Of the league
constitution was voiced today III
the Senate by Senator Vardaman
of Mississippi. Democrat. He said
it was unconstitutional and also
criticised President Wilson for re-
questlng that discussion in Con-
gress be postponed until after the
could confer with the Senate and
House foreign relations commit
tees.
Senator Borah plans to speak
Thursday in opposition to the
league. In his letter to Secretary
Tumulty declining the President 5
invitation, Mr. Borah said it was
the custom to hold in confidence
any information received at con
ferences at the White House and
that he was not willing to be
bound to silence on such an i'm
portant subject, on which he and
| the President disagreed, funda-
mentally.
After receiving the letter. which
Senator Borah made public today,
Secretary Tumulty Immediately
transmitted it by radio to Presl-
dent Wilson on the steamer George
Washington, which is due to reach
Boston next Tuesday.
It was regarded tonight as
highly probable attacks on the
league plan in the Senate would
draw spirited defense from ad-
ministration senator's. Some SEN
ators said they did not regard the
Presidents request as precluding
replies to criticism. Their view is
that the President actually means
to request postponement of judy
ment or conviction on the tenta-
tive constitution and not to pre-
vent it's supporters from replying
to any open criticism in the Sen
ate.

imously that the people as whole
would neither understand nor
approve such an outcome, and
that therefore, there was no al,
tentative except to sign under
protest.
The Berlin papers generally
come to the same conclusion, ex-
cept the conservative organs, such
as the Krtuz Zeitung, and the Al.
lgemeine Zeitung. which declares
that the government should have
refused to sign the terms. thus
forcing the Allies to take the re,
sponsibility for a renewal OF mil
itary operations.
Italy Declines Proposal.
Paris. Feb. 19.-The italian de-
egation to the peace conference:
according to an official note, has
informed the secretary Of the con
ference that it cannot accept the
proposal for the arbitration OF
Italian and Jugoslav claims in Dali
malta as urged by the Jugoslavs.
The Italian plenipotentiarlcs
explain that all territorial claims
are being submitted to the peace
conference and they do not be-
lieve that recourse should be had
to any exceptional procedure.
