Germany could not be proclaimed un-
til the Senate had ratified the peace

ecutive branch of the government;
ratification by the Senate. and finally
exchange Of ratifica ton. Even after
the Senate has acted, he said. the
treaty could not become operative un-

Might Cable Proclamation.

It is true the President might do
this by cabled proclamation. his per-
sonal attendance upon the session
not being required, but even at best,
it is asserted, it is possible that the
United States might be placed In the
peculiar position of technically being
alone at war with Gernany long after
her associates had formally concluded
peace.
One solution of the problem that has
been suggested is that in the peace
treaty itself the date for formally
ending the war be placed far enough
in the future to permit of action by
the Senate in the interim. but thus
far no definite conclusion has been
reached.

SIGNING OF PEACE
MAY AFFECT LAWS
Interesting Question Arises
Over War Legislation in
This Country.
OPINION OF Mr.. THOMAS

PARIS, March IA (by the Associat ted
Press).-An interesting question of
Importance to the United States has
arisen here. Upon it's answer depends
the continued operation of much war
legislation, such as control of rail-
roads. the prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale OF liquors and similar
enactments. with reference to the date
on which the war officially will cease.
Assuming that Secretary of State
Lansing will sign the peace treaty for
the United States, along with the
powers associated with the United
States in the war, when it is signed by
the Germans, it is pointed out that
this act will not become effective, as
far as the United States is concerned,
until it is ratified by the United States
Senate Even if that body were IA
vorably disposed, it was stated today,
might be long deferred, be-
cause the Senate is In recess and so
will remain until called into special
session by the President.

The Feat of the R-34.

Returning in rs hours from New York to
near London the R-S4 has proved beyond doubt
the practicability of navigating the air across
seas and also established many facts which will
be of benefit in the further development of the
science of flying in lighter than air craft.
For "a hours at one time the airship was
lost in fog but it kept close to its true course
and never was out of touch with land stations
or vessels at sea. While the surface OF the
ocean was churned with 40-mile wind the air
was calm and not a case Of air sickness oc-
CURED on board. There were 1000 gallons of
fuel still in the tanks when a landing was made.
The only untoward incident was the breaking
down of one of the engines, which reduced
speed and made steering more difficult.
While in the arrangement of the ship COM
fort and convenience were sacrificed for light
ness the crew had little to complain about.
They lackedshot water for shaving and smoking
was prohibited, as it always is on craft which
fly through the lifting power of inaammable
gas. Otherwise the men on board lived much
as they would have done aboard ship.
The experience of the R-34 emphasizes the
Importance Of maneuvering for favorable winds
in overseas flying. Coming west it battled ad-
verse breezes and is estimated to have actu-
ally travelled nearly double the distance that
would have been necessary in a calm. Before
any regular service is established doubtless it
will be necessary to greatly improve facilities
for observing, recording and reporting the di-
rection and velocity Of currents in the upper
air Larger dirigibles, arranged to give less
air resistance and with more power will be
among the developments of the near future.
Before many years, it is safe to predict, fly
ing in lighter than air vessels between points
three, five or ten thousand miles apart will be
as common as ordinary steamship voyages are
now, while heavier than air machines will be
relied upon for shorter trips and greater speed.

Saving Daylight Saving.

It was up to President Wilson to save day
light saving and he did it Whether congress
can muster enough votes to pass its doom over
his head remains to be seen 1t is certain that
the attempt will be made.
Daylight saving has been Of unquestioned
benefit to people of the cities, although of
course there are exceptions in which hours of
employment do not work out to the best ad-
vantage. Among farmers sentiment is against
the saving plan, taking the country at large
Some complain that the hired men insist upon
taking advantage of it to quit early and others
that the cows do not come up to be MIXED at
the new milking time. Where country people
come in contact with the cities there is a
conflict.
Most of the kicking, however, arises from
the fact that the people generally are little
loft their feed" and uncommonly short tenn
pered. They have had to do so many things
in the last two years that they didn't want to
do that now they are getting they object
to doing much of anything that involves
any real or fancied sacrifice.
1t is expected that quite deal Of fuss will
be kicked up over the vetoing of the daylight
saving bill, though the president unquestion-
ably acted for the best interests of all the
people.
