LODGE WARNS
4 BIC POWERS
Other Powers Shall Accept
y. S. Reservations to
League of Nations.

Antileague Senators served notice
in the Senate yesterday that they
will not permit the peace treaty TO
be ratified unless participating ma
tions stand ready to accept the
Senate's reservations on the league
OF nations covenant
Senator Lodge, Republican lead
er, voiced the feeling OF opponents
when he said:
Il hope when these reserva-
tions are put on we shall provide
that they shall be accepted by the
other four great powers at least
before we become members of the
league"
Senator Borah said:
"A number of US are not going
to rest on mere reservations which
will be made effective by the si-
lence OF any other powers"
These statements were made dur
ing running debate between SEN
ator Kellogg, Republican, and Sem
ator Pittman, Democrat. in which
the latter took the position that the
Senate after ratifying the treaty
might adopt a resolution explaining
the conditions upon which it was
ratified. Senator Kellogg insisted d
that this would not do. that the
reservations must be made part of
the resolution OF ratification. He
declared the Senate should make a
binding declaration to form part OF
the ratifying resolution. and added
II cannot believe that any other
power will object to these reserva-
tions. Certainly no nation would. for
moment, permit the council OF the
league of nations to pass upon its
domestic and political questions"
Senator Walsh. Montana, introduced
& resolution directing the Senate Judi
ciary Committee to investigate and
report to the Senate whether there is
any constitutional bar TO the United
States ratifying the treaty by which
this government promises to defend
France against unprovoked German
aggression.
Opponents of the French treaty now
before the Senate maintain it is un-
constitutional.

ALB, a Cave Dweuer

One day, when Alb was setting
out his nets and looking at others,
he heard a ferocious roaring.
Looking around, he saw mon
strous lion, whose whelp he had
shot, three or four days before. ABB
was not frightened as some boys
would be at such close quarters.
ALB had brought some fresh meat
in a bag to bait his snares with
and had not used all of it. He then
climbed tree. Looking around he
saw a limb almost as thick as my
wrist. This he easily broke off
with the aid of his stone club. He
then secured a small stick about
ten feet long.
Meanwhile the lion had dashed
his tail through the long grass in
his rage, till it looked like a
mighty scythe had gone through
it.
ABB fastened a piece of meat to
the stick and fastened it to the
tree. When the lion leaped. he
hit it across the nose, partly to
stun it and more to anger it. AS
the huge beast leaped for the meat
again, ALB hit the animal a terrific
blow on the head between the
eyes. This stunned the animal so
that it fell to the ground.

The Witch and the
Seven Children

Once upon time there lived
family OF seven children, whose
names were Mary, Catherine, Nina
and Sara, and three boys whose
names were Elmer, Roy and La
fayette, and they had father and
mother. One day all the children
went out for a walk, and they
walked so far that they got lost,
and Elmer saw cake house and
all the children went in and walked
around and started to go in the
next room.
A witch grabbed them and then
she said she was going to make
some pudding for them, and when
she had stirred in up she called
Elmer to put his dish of pudding
in the oven and Elmer said he
did not know how, and the old
witch said, Il will show you how"
and she opened the door of the
oven, and stuck her head in and
Elmer pushed her in. Then he ran
to the place where the other chill
dren were and said the old witch
was dead and they were safe and
they ali danced for joy and thanked
Elmer for killing the old witch, and
started for home. When they were
half way home they saw a fairy
stood still and when she got up
to them she said she wanted to
take them walk and they walked
for about half mile, she took
them in little house and took
them to the middle room and then
opened the door and said, GO in
there and sit down till I come
back" Five minutes had passed
and the fairy did not came back
and five more minutes passed and
the fairy came back and she had

said, IF you stay with me a week

heart can wish for and then some

Two Boys Fight

Once upon time there was a
little boy whose name was Roy,
and he was rich and he went with
a little boy who was poor, but he
was a nicer boy than the other, so
he was loved by all the people in
that town, and the rich boy got
mad at this boy and said he was
going to get him down and fight
him. He told some boy and this
boy told the poor boy and SO that
night came when he was going to
fight the boy and so about six
O'Clock that night they met and
they started to fight and the poor
boy got the rich boy down first and
got the best him, instead of the
rich boy getting the best of him,
and the next week was Easter and
the two boys gave each other four
colored eggs and they were never
mad again.
So one day in March the wind
came down by the boys house and
pulled a spark out of the chimney
and set the house on fire and they
could not get anybody to help them
get it out, and so the little boy
that this boy was mad at climbed
up the porch pole and he was the
only one who could climb. If the
rest started to climb they would
fall and the little boy was the only
one who put the fire out and he
was remembered ever after and
was loved still more.

Bruno and Jack Frost

Bruno was on one side of the
window, Jack Frost was on the
other.
"Bow-wow-wow!" want to look
out" said Bruno.

Jack Frost. And he drew his
paint brush all over the glass.
He had been up painting all
night and he was in bad humor.
Jack Frost painted beautiful pic
ures,-ferns and flowers, birds
butterflies, castles and bridges, al
most everything, but Bruno didn't
care pin for his pictures.
"Bow-wow-wow! l want to see
out again." he barks.
Come out, then" snarled Jack
Frost.
Il won't. It's nice and warm in
here" growled Bruno, land l know
how to wash windows"
So Bruno put out his great pink
tongue, and Tapped off the Jack
Frost picture in a hurry.
"Bow-wow-wow! There's wash
cloth for you that's always handy.
l don't have to hunt for it, like
Betty does"
And Jack Frost remembered a
business engagement, and went off
to paint the church windows,
where they didn't have dogs to
bother him.
