MAKE FOUR MORE
RESERVATIONS
Senate Committee Admits They Are
Practically Amendments-Lodg
Claims Votes to Adopt Them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-After the
senate foreign relations committee had
agreed late yesterday, upon making four
more reservations to the peace treaty,

all, Senator Lodge, the majority leader,
declared that he had counted the votes
which would support them and that, with.
out doubt, they would be adopted by the
senate
Mr.. Lodge admitted that the reserva-
tons were of the nature of amendments,
IN that, as the preamble recites, they must
be accepted by three of the four princi-
pal slgnatories, before the treaty becomes
operative as to the United States. He
depends on Democratic votes to offset
those OF middle ground Republican SEN
ators who may oppose the preamble.
After the committee had wound up its
work on the new reservations, Senator
Hitchcock. the minority leader, said EN-
phatically that if the reservations We're
carried, the requisite number of Demo
Gratis would be found ready to defeat the
treaty with such changes
Among the reservations agreed upon
yesterday was one, suggested by Senator
Reed of Missouri. who entered the COM
mittee room, although not member OF
the committee. 1t is intended to give
congress check upon any decree which
the league of nations may make involving
questions affecting the United States. This
reservation Senator Lodge, as chairman
OF the committee. was directed to draft,
and indicated that it would be sufficient
ly drastic"
The reservation, as proposed by Senator
ShlpIdS l)pmppraf Of al Mn
Reeds suggestion, relates to protection of
the vital interests and national honor OF
the United States Senator Reed. in
suggesting it, said it was essential that
every matter involving American rights
must be safeguarded.
The reservation was agreed upon by a
vote of 10 to 5. Senator McCumber not

OFFICER IN DUBLIN
Inquest Over Lieut.. Boasts
Body Shows He Was Shot
Accidentally by British.

DUBLIN, Dec. 30.-Lieutenant Boast
was killed accidentally by the mill
tary, a coroner's jury decided at the
inquest over his body here yesterday.
The jury returned its verdict after
questioning soldiers who were with
Boast when he was shot early Sunday
on the vice regal grounds here.
The dead civilian was identified as
Laurence Kennedy. Explaining the
absence Of a revolver near Kennedy's
body, Corporal Rolleston said he be-
lieved Kennedy's associates moved
the body while the troopers had gone
for help. with the intention OF carry
ing 1t away.
They were probably frightened of
by return of the soldiers. Rolleston
believed, but took kennedy's revolver
with them.
Rolleston, who was with Lieutenant
Boast when he was killed, said he and
his comrades came upon eight men

Acid-Stomach Makes
Bad Blood, Headaches
and Nervousness

Many times you have seen an awfulfy bad,
ooEy-looking face that makes you think =
Its blood poison" You are wrong, for about
nine times out of ten it is caused by an acid
sseoAeA, which upsets the dig gestion. This
makes the blood impure and it shows up in the
face, with a red nose and pimply, blotchy,
muddy, bad looking complexion.
Remember, too, il the digestion is faulty,
you cannot escape the penalty in the loss OF
mental and physical power. Then again if you
eat more food than the body needs, it makes
gas by fermentation.
This fermentation creates toxic poisons
which, taken into the blood, irritate the nerves
and Affect the entire nervous system. This is
the frequent cause Of severe attacks of head
ache and other nervous disorders such as ex-
trems nervoune =, rritability, insomnia,
mental depression, raslanchoIa, dizziness and
vertigo.
Thousands, yes, millions Of men and women
suffer daily from these troubles and never
dream that Acid Stomach is the cause Of their

SENATE WILL ACT
ON THREE D. c. BILLS
Teachers Retirement, Firemen's
Pay, and Traffic Laws Prom
ised Early Action.

Three important pieces OF legisla-
tion will be given the right OF way
over all other matters affecting the
District of Columbia when Congress
reassembles January s, Senator Sher-
man, chairman of the Senate District
Committee pointed out today.
These are the school teachers re-
tirement bill, the fremen's increased
pay BILL and new traffic regulations
for automobiles.
1t is the intention to seek immedi-
ate action on the firemen's pay bill
during one of the morning hours de-
voted to routine business. Senator
Calder Of New York, who will be in
charge Of the measure, believes
nothing will stand in the way of its
passage.
1t is doubtful, however, whether
the Senate will restore the House
figures after the action Of the Senate
District Committee in reducing the
pay of privates $500 a year. The bill
was reported from committee in the
absence of number of members who
are opposed to a reduction in the
pay of the firemen.
The teachers retirement bill already
has passed the House, and has been
on the Senate calendar for several
months. 1t was one of the measures
Senator Sherman hoped to get action
on before the Christmas recess. but
like the fremen's bill 1t was held up
by the railroad legislation.
One of the frst things Senator
Sherman will do Monday will be to
appoint a subcommittee to draft new
traffic regulations for the District
with view to putting reckless auto
drivers behind prison bars. He has
been at work during the holidays on
a tentative bill which will be used
as basis for legislation by the sub
committee.
Senator Sherman favors rigorous
penalties for offenders and strict ex-
aminations of applicants for auto
mobile permits.
1t Is probable that the outgrowth Of
traffic legislation will be the es-
tablishment of a traffic tribunal in
the District that will deal specifically
with such cases or another police
Judge.
Senator Sherman has been studying
the records during the recess for the
purpose Of reducing the causes for
most of the accidents in Washing
ton Fast driving and carelessness in
failing to stop a safe distance behind

charging passengers are the primary
causes.

REDS yICTORS IN RUSSIA,
BRITISH EXPERTS ADMIT
Denikine's Army Hopelessly Crushed,
With kolchak and Yudenitch
Eliminated.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Crushing defeat
for General Denikine's army is ad-
mitted today by British military ex-
perts. Indeed, they declare Denikine
will be lucky to escape with any
remnant Of his army.
The following telegram from the
London Times Warsaw correspondent
sounds like the final despairing cry
of the anti-reds.
at seems useless to close our eyes
TO the fact that what remains Of the
official classes in central Russia are

something which gives them not only
a livelihood but as much power and
authority as they ever possessed un-
der the Car.

conditions, so order gradually sue
ceeded anarchy and the red army
from a revolutionary rabble became
a disciplined. fighting force, strong
er now than was the Russian army
before the revolution.
THE Poles regard the collapse of
Denikine's army with mixed feelings
They are delighted to see the failure
of an army which they always re-
garded with suspicion, as the possible
germ OF a new czarist regime, but
their gladness is modified by the con-
sciousness of the danger which the
red army presents to Poland IL all
its other enemies are defeated
'One hears talk of a new Yudenitch
offensive in the spring, from a base
on Lettish soil, with the French as
sisting on land and the British on
sea, which may explain Clemenceau's
remark that the allies intended to
put barbed wire round Bolshevism.'

mated, and Denikine crumbling, and
the boundaries of red Russia expand
ing, one cannot but speculate whether
there Is enough barbed wire in Eu-
rope to fence in the Bolsheviki."

MOTET CHORAL SOCIETY
RENDERS THE MESSIAH"
Christmas Oratorio at Central High
School Aids Foundlings'
Milk Fund.

Handers Christmas oratorio "Tbe
| Messiah" was given last evening by
the Motet Choral Society, a chorus Of
/ over hundred voices under the 'di-
| rection Of Otto Torney Simon, in the
| auditorium of Central High School.
Following tradition. in the giving of
| this oratorio, Mr.. Simon arranged to
have II aid the milk fund of the
Foundlings' Hospital of the city.
Many of the little ones were present
to take up a collection that amounted
to S48495. Mrs. William Hamilton
Bayly, of the board of the Foundlings
Home. made the appeal for the chill
dren.
Preceding the oratorio' was a
solemn rendition of the Christmas
hymn. "Silent Night. Holy Night"
with solo by John Waters, baritone.
Hollis Edison Davenny was heard,
for the first time in oratorio in Wash
ington, his rich bass voice giving this
music with resonance, meaning and
vital dramatic climax, that contrast
ed with the sympathy in his nara
tves, particularly in the But who
will abide the time of His coming"
that held a tenderness OF musical
beauty. Execution and dignity. with
rich vocal expression were in the tell
ing "Why do the Nations?" and The
Trumpet Shall Sound"
The soprano and tenor airs of only
the first part of the oratorio were
given. many cuts being made throu gh-
out the work. Marguerite Holt gave
the soprano recital of the coming of
the shepherds with appealing purity
and simplicity. her mellow voice,

tralto airs 20 Thou That Tellest." "Hc
Shall Feed His Flock" and He Was
Despised."
The choruses were given with a
unity of expression and a variety OF
color from climax to soft effects. Mr.
Simon was not strictly orthodox in
his use of form and tempos. and the
placing of the women's voices in the
outer circle Of voices brought a DOM
.nance OF male voices that lessened
the choral effects. The finay Halle

CAR COMPANY SUES TO
HOLD UP VALUATIONS

The Capital Traction Company yes
terday filed suit in the District Su-
preme Court asking that the Public
Utilities Commission be restraints ed
from acting on it's valuation OF the
companys properties made last Au-
gust.
The company's holdings were ap-
praised at that time to fix a carfare
that would give the company an
equitable return on its investment.
The company. represented by Attor-
neys George E. Hamilton and q.
Thomas Dunlop, declares that the
commission is inadequate, unreason-
able, unlawful. and void. The COM
plant is said to be based on the dis
senting opinion made by former D:s-
trict Commissioner Gardner to the
report of the commission on Septen-
Der 4 fixing the valuations.
An appeal from the decision OF the
commission is expressly authorize i
by an act OF Congress. and such III
appeal has precedence over all Other
cases until disposed of. Should the
court reject the bill. the plaintiffs
have the right to appeal to the Coui t
of Appeals and thence to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Unless enjoined by the courts, tue
declaration states, the commission
will proceed to fix rates of fare,
which would be unreasonable because
based on "insufficient and unlawful
valuations, to the great and irrep-
arabic loss of the plaintiff" The ap-
proximate total valuation of the con-
pany was placed by the commission
at S14,200.0OO as compared with the
company's valuation of about s2l .0OO.-
