pose of enabling the conclusion, not the
interminable prolongation. of business.
Mr.. Lodges proposal, made last FRI
day, looked to Limitation of debate and
to beginning voting on all pending propo-
sitions on November 12, continuing till
all were disposed of, To this Mr.. Hitch
cock objected rpd countered with a pro-
poeaf TO limit debate, but fixing no date
for the vote.
This proposal in turn was rejected by
Mr.. Lodge, but 1t had become apparent
the Democrats must make some serious
effort to demonstrate their good faith
In constantly demanding an early vote.
SO tho Democratic members of'the For
eign Relations Committee were brought
together, considered their situation and
brought out to-day a modification and
elaboration of the Hitchcock plan. its
essential feature was that It asked urfan-
imous consent for trying out all the vari-
GUS compromise plans that /might be
offered. This could not be done under
the rules, and to ask 1t by unanimous
consent was at least q great stretch OF
parliamentary usage.

tain on his left, Mr.. Marshall said little
and listened intentiy now to one. now to
the other. ..,. ..
Both Sides in the open.
It was obvious that they were coming
at last to a showdown on certain deli
cate points of parliamentary procedure.
In the discussion on the floor both the
political chiefs laid their cards on the
table. Details of their plans had been
disclosed and the time had come when'
neither having any part of his strategy
to conceal, they were free TO discuss
with each other and the presiding offi-
Ger the ruling that may be expected in
certain exigencies.
Whether any ray of light was intro
duced into The gloom as result Of this
discussion was not made known. Mr..
Lodge said later that the next move was
up to the Democrats They had rejected
his proposal which strictly followed the
rules They asked unanimous agree
mint on an extraordinary plan which
was without the rules and on which
unanimous consent was impossible.
A sufficient number of votes can do
anything in the Senate-rules or no
rules. But the Democrats who want to
suspend rules have minority with
which TO try to do 1t.
The situation is one Of curious COM
plexity. hinging on the fact that treaty
requires not q majority but a two-thirds
vote to ratify. Mr. Lodge has a major
ity supporting his programme of reser-
vations. He can sweep everything be-
fore him down TO the one crucial vote
for ratification. But at that point his
power ends because he must suddenly
jump to a two-thirds vote-from 40 to
81.

DEFENDS CAREER
Declares German Losses at
Verdun Were Not
Excessive

Berlin, Oct. 10.-In defense of his
administrative career as chief of staff
of the German armies in 1915 and
1916, General Erich Van Falkenhayn
denies that German losses at Verdun
were excessive. He declares they
were under those of the enemy.
German defensive operations at
the Somme, he declares, were effec-
tive under his direction whereas only
limited results previously had been
achieved. The successes of the Eng
lish and French at the Somme, he
claims, were possible only because
of the Austrian collapse which neces-
STATED the dispatch of heavy re-
Inducements to the eastern front.
Won Falkenhayn declares the
swift success of the Rumanian cam
paign which he commanded after
his dismissal as chief of staff was
due primarily to exhaustive pre-
parations of the General Staff before
his retirement Rumania's declara-
ton of war, he states, was the ex-
ternal pretext for his retirement al
though this move on his part was
primarily due to the Vaccinations
of other persons in the German
military circles who had been plot
ting his overthrow for long time.

far as emigration is concerned. Emil

OF many members of the government
who believe that Germany should
attempt to keep all her people at

sensible, Zimmerman asserts. is the
view of those members of the gov

labor unrest and the great amount
OF unemployment throughout Ger
many Is to get rid of as large a

No. 1. Saving and Personal Efficiency. (Prepared by Savings Division. U. g.
 Treasury.)
No. 1.

Eficiency-that Is, the ability to dc ones job. has been hit upon by British investigator as supplying the most prac- tical answer to the question, When and where should I begin to save,-whether money, food, time, or what not?" This is equally practical for the people Of the United States.
 This investigator finds that saving should begin as soon as the point of efficiency has been reaches. The things to do without are those that do not di- rectly promote efiiciency-that in them- selves cost much and profit little"
 This standard becomes more strikingly practical when we realize that efficiency Is both mental and physical. We must be able to think, or to use our muscles effectively. in our work as the case may be. Happiness. proper rest, normal rec . reation as well as food or shelter, all have their part in making up efficiency. The point then is to continue to spend as long as spending makes for efficiency. and to cease when 1t no longer contributes to personal or family ability
 The British specialist points out that waste is possible in the very process of attaining efficiency and warns the public not to make efficiency blind idol or an excuse for excess or extravaganza. Put ting excess into War Savings Stamps is . practical American method of maintain- Ing efficiency. both physical and financial

est of Americans, Benjamin Frank lin.
 Lesson No. 1 is the Thrift Pledge. It is as follows:
 Because I am loyal American; because my country needs my help: because what I save will help me and what is saved in America will help the whole world, I promise to live economically and save all that can during the year 1919 without being "STINGY"; to set aside regularly a portion of what I earn and loan it to my Government by investing it in War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds.'
 In the school the meaning of the pledge is thoroughly discussed and the student is invited to think what effect 1t would have upon his fife to keep such pledge for a year. The student is asked to get clear in his mind the difference between thrift, which is saving, and stinginess, which is hoarding.
