RATIFICATION
LOOKS REMOTE
Senate Tackles Sixth Lodge
Reservation on
Shantung.
ARTICLE X COMES LAST
On This Administration Sen
ators May Be Able to Block
Attack of Republicans.

Washington, March S.-U. N. -
The senate will tackle today the
sixth Lodge reservation. that with
holding the assent OF the United
States to those provisions of the
peace treaty which turned the Chi
nese province of Shantung over TO
Japan.
This reservation, like the rest OF
the original Lodge program, is sched-
uled to be adopted again by ma
Iority vote composed mostly OF re-
publicans, with enough democratic
senator's voting against 1t to demon
strate that ratification is still remote.
The long disputed Lodge reserva-
tion to Article X Is to be taken up
after all OF the thirteen others have
been acted upon. Thus far, but fouf
have been disposed of. The vote by
which the reservation covering tn,
Monroe doctrine-56 to 22---was re-
adopted was regarded as a test OF
the renewed administration opposi-
tlon TO the reservations and to ratl-
tication.
The line-up OF twenty-five admin

tion intended TO safeguard the Mon
roe doctrine, a reservation the re.
publicans refused TO modify, was

MEXICO WANTS
U. S. ARMS
Now Prepares to Demand
Permission to Import
Munitions of War.
WASHINGTON MAY AGREE

Washington, March S.--Mexico is
said to be preparing to demand per-
mission to import arms and NUM-
tons of war from the United States.
Hilario Medine, subsecretary of
foreign affairs, in statement which
has been reported to the state de-
partment, has announced that as a
result of the retirement of Robert
Lansing as secretary OF state II is
probable that the demand will be
met.
At the same time there was made
public in Mexico City the text of the
most recent correspondence between
Mexican Ambassador Bonillas and
Secretary Lansing on the matter.
Because OF the unsettled conditions
in Mexico the state department has
for several years refused to permit
war munitions to he exported Ia
Mexico except in few specific In
stances.
Investigations showed that the
rebels secured AT least half the mu-
nitions permitted to move for the
Carranza forces, and they also were
said to have secured large quanti-
ties by barter with the government
commanding officers These lnvesti-
cations showed. II was said today
that practically all of the 800 and
more Americans killed in Mexico
during the past few years by Next
cans were killed by American made
bullets.
Political Move.
Washington, March 3,-Informa-
tion concerning the reported move
ment of "a large force of Mexican
troops" to the northern frontier OF
Sonora has not been received by Of
ficials In Washington, It was stated
here today. Tho belief exists here
that the reports cmanate from po-
ltical quarters in Mexico and are
being disseminated for effect in the
approaching elections.

LEARNED POOL
ON "Y' TABLES
Minors Tell Grand Jurors,
When Asked, Where
They Started.


The Hamilton county grand jury
reported to Judge S. d. McReynolds
in open court Wednesday morning
that in the investigation of cases
where young men under age were
playing pool and hanging around
poolrooms they had found that they
had been taught or learned the game
at the Y. M. C. A. The jury rec
commended that Judge McReynolds
take some action and request the au-
thorities at this institution not to al
low minors to play pool at that place.
The members of the jury stated that
in their opinion it was unfair to in
dict poolrooms for allowing minors
to play pool in their places when the
Y. M. C. A., an institution for the
good of young men, allowed them to
learn the game there.
During the present session of the
jury several young men were sum
moned before the inquisitorial body
and, when asked where they had
learned to play pool, stated they had
started at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Judge McReynolds stated that the
atmosphere at the Y. M. C. A. was
an entirely different one from that
of a poolroom and he thought the
boys We're in good company there,
even If they were playing pool
However, he stated that he would
notify the authorities at the Y. M.
c. a. not to allow young men to play
pool there unless they had a written
order from their mothers. At the
present time there is no pool playing
in the Y. M. c. A. and those tables
that are there are worn out and have
not been used for some time.
w. H. Frazier, foreman of the
grand jury, stated that he didn't
want to be misund .rstood in his at
titude on the matter and said he
greatly favored the Y. NJ. G. A. and
its work. but he didn't think that
boys under age should be allowed to
play pool there and then not be al
lowed to play at other places.
He said boys had plenty of time
to learn to play pool after they had
passed the age of 21, as the game
was not essential to their education,
health and happiness.
The grand jury also took up the
question of selling cigarettes to
minors and will act on this at the
next session April 8, A committee of
women waited on the grand jury
Tuesday and asked that lsheK 4s~estf-
gate the selling of cigarettes to
minors. They were told if they fur
nished the jury a list of those who
were guilty of selling cigarettes to
minors that indictments would surely
be returned. The woman said that
by the time the next jury met they
would have prepared long list and
this proof that sales had been made.
The jury meets again April 5.
