Demos VIII Claim G. o. p. VIII
Ruin 1t, Charge.
Lull in Treaty Fight Today
VIII Reopen Monday.

Washington, July 26.-That senate
Democrats are planning to make
President Wilson a third term can
didate. was the declaration today of
leading opponents of the league OF
nations. They asserted the Demo-
Gratis have carefully worked out
plan to create a situation that may
be summed up thus:
They will create the impression
thruout the country, by means OF
senate speeches. that opposition to
the league IS based on personal
jealousy and partisan hostility to
Wilson.
This will open the way for the
claim that unless Wilson runs again
and Is reelected, the league of ma
tions will be ruined by Republicans,
should they get control of the ad-
ministration.
Point TO Speeches as Proof.
As proof Of what one senator today
called the third term plot" Repub-
lfcans pointed to the fact that Demo-
Gratis who have spoken this week on
the league have emphasized the
charge that the presidents opponents
are jealous of his prestige and eager
to tear down his work.
While the senate and the foreign
relations committee remained idle to-
newal of the debate Monday. Further
attacks on President Wilson because
of his Withholding the French treaty
We're expected.
League opponents also used the re-
cess to discuss plans for counteract-
ing the effects OF the presidents di-
rect appeal to the country thru a
speaking tour. They are undecided
whether they can spare men like
Borah and Johnson from the senate
TO make tours but are agreed that
some means must be found for reply
ing to the presidents arguments.
Shantung and reservations con-
tinued in the spot light OF official dis
cussions today both in executive and
senate circles, tho so far as surface
developments we're concerned there
was a lull in the peace treaty fight.

19-Year-Old Petticoat Lane Beau
ty Didn't Stop When She Knocked
Over 2-Year-OId Child.

Over 2-Year-OId Child.
It happened in the Pelletier store
this morning.
She was about 10 years old,
weighed not less than las pounds,
and was dressed in imitation of the
ultra fashion plates. She knew she
was being watched and she was
putting forth every means of at
tracing street and store eyes that
there would be no chance of her be-
ing overlooked.
A little two-year-old girl. all
dressed in white. half hose. fluffy
hat, was standing in the aisle while
her mother was making a purchase.
In swept the Petticoat Lane
beauty. Head up. cheeks glowing,
arms swinging. feet fighting for
freedom-on she came. There
were few men in the store and her
efforts were being wasted.
The child stood directly in her
path-her path of egotism. decor
ated pride and wild vanity A
scream was heard in the store, The
child lay face. down on the hard
floor, her hat thrown off, her tiny
feet in the air and her arms pinned
beneath her. The mother and a
clerk rushed to the baby's rescue.
On swirled the 45-pounder. She
did not hesitate. She did not look
around. She did not apologize. She
disappeared in a cloud of perfume
and peacock air.
1t is hoped that she will read this
that she may know what others
think of her lack of good breeding
her mean vanity. her unfortunate
failure to possess even a spark of
the mother instinct paramount in
every worth while girl.
