COMP PR0M|sE PLAN
ON REESE ERVAT|ONS
GETS DEADLOCK
Democrats Object to Proposed
Scheme
SITUATION is MUDDLED
Foreign Relations Committee Get In
to Argument over Hearings on
Racial Cases

Washington, Aug. 21--The COM
promise proposal to have the Senate
adopt peace treaty reservations but
keep them separate from the ratifica-
tion itself was put aside indefinitely
today after Democratic leaders had
declined to assume responsibility for
it and Republicans of all shades of
opinion had given notice they would
not accept it.
Among the Republicans the de-
velopment was interpreted as mean
ing that action never would be sought
on the proposal in its present form,
and Democratic leaders generally said
they had no plans for bringing it to a
vote.
The foreign relations committee got
into another argument over prompt
committee action on the treaty which
ended by a decision without record
vote, to continue its hearings to re-
ceive the cases of the irish, Greek,
Egyptian, Lithuanian, Ukranian, Es-
thonian and Lettish races.
In every Democratic quarter, in
cluding the White House. it was indi-
Gated that the compromise proposal as
presented yesterday in a resolution
by Senator Pittman of Nevada, a
Democrat of the committee, was not
specifically sponsored by the Presi-
dent though it followed generally his
suggestion to the committee Tuesday
regarding reservations.
Senator Pittman issued statement
saying the President had no knowledge
of the resolution and Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, the administration
leader indicated that in no sense was
the move inspired by the administrat-
ion. There was no formal expression
from the White House.
In his statement Mr.. Pittman said
his idea in presenting the measure
was TO expedite action on the treaty.
He insisted that he would ask for act
ion later. He argued that acceptance
of the reservation proposed could be
gained from the nations council, thus
making 1t possible to the disputed sec
tions of the covenant ratify the treaty
with the assurance that would not be
interpreted 10 the disadvantage of
this country.
There was increasing evidence dur
ing the day, however, that the group
OF Republicans who have agreed on
reservations similar to those in the
Pittman resolution would withhold
their approval from any plan not con-
templating inclusion of the qualificat-
ions in the ratification itself. Republi-
can leaders said they were ready for
vote today If the Democrats wanted TO
bring the Pittman resolution to roll
call

his stand against peace declaration

In deciding to hear additional wit
nesses, the foreign relations commit
tee overruled protest from Democrat
members who are said to have taken
the general position that it was i'm
perative to proceed at once to act on
the treaty.

Maria, Tex, Aug 22.-The Ameri-
can punitive expedition against MeXi-
can bandits who held American army
aviators for ransom was making pro-
gress today, according to adyices
from the field. Reports that United
States forces would be withdrawnat
once were denied Officially. No definite
time has been fixed for withdrawal
but 1t is understood the plan of cam
paign includes another weeks search
through the mountains for the Rem
terra band.
Five bandits are known to have
been killed so far with possibility of
a sixth one, the bandit having been
seen falling from his horse when the
ayiators returned their fire.
Maria, Texas, Aug 21-Four Mex
lean bandits were killed by American
troops in Mexico yesterday, Captain
Leonard Matlack, who arrived here by
airplane tonight, reported. They were
surrounded in an abode blockhouse
that the Mexicans had constructed in
a mountain pass.
The bandits fought desperately when
they found they were trapped and
two escaped. When the American
troops approached the blockhouse with
the intention of searching it the Mex
leans opened fire from portfolios.
The fire was returned and the block
house charged by the American caval-
ry troops.
Three of the four Mexicans killed
have been identified as Jesus Janir,
Francisco Janir and Jose Fuentes. The
identity of the fourth bandit has not
been ascertained. All four are known
to Captain Matlack as bandits operat-
ing along the Big Ben border for
years.
The two men who escaped We're
pursued but the trail was lost in the
mountain canyons.
1t was definitely established that
band that captured Lieutenants Har-
old G. Peterson and Paul II. Davis,
American aviators, was not among the
dead.
Captain Matlack said he passed a
column of 200 Carranza troops below
the border yesterday. The Carranza
commander asked where the Ameri-
cans were going. When he was in
formed they We're pursuing bandits,
he waved his hand and said GO
ahead"

Our old friend Rheumatic is having

of caution from one who knows all

Wear rubbers in damp weather. keep

If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,

pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can usually get rid OF all agony in just
a few days by taking one teaspoonful
of Rheuma once a day.
All druggists know about Rheuma; I;
it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap, yet

Mrs. Burger left the train at Pasa-

daughter News half-siEter. After
visiting her home the mother came to
Los Angeles by automobile, inter
viewed her sons attorney, and then
went to the Jail where New is incar-

she had seen nurse; friend, who

to prevent her from becoming the

had offered marriage and pleaded

Mrs. Alice Lesser, Freda's mother,
and all the girls friends, stoutly

mother was q lie. The first report

problem that has grown out of the

fact that the American economic ex-

of indemnities, or of seized property.
Instead the United States is the only
nation subscribing 10 the treaty
