WILSON ID MAKE
 TREATY AN ISSUE
Will Veto Knox Resolution and Appeal to the People Probably Resubmit
 to Senate

Washington, May IS. President Wilson's message yetoing the Knox resolution declaring state of peace with Germany will be the most irn- portant contribution by the chief exc cutive to the controversy over the peace treaty and the League of Ma tions covenant, according to adminis- tration officials.
 It not only will reject the effort of Congress to establish peace by legis- lation for want of favorable action on the treaty, for which the president and the irreconcilables were responsible, but 1t will join the issue Between the advocates and opponents of the cove nant without reservations and defin- ftely project the question into the pres idential campaign for the decision Of the people
 In effect the veto message will be d presidential campaign xeynote of the first magnitude and will furnish the guide for the keynoting to the Democratic national convention to be performed temporarily by Chairman Homer Cummings. Wilson's Move Uncertain. Whether the president will return tine treatEata@tiAsv vSsnats when he ve- toes the peace resolution is not known even to the intimates, although they would not be surprised by such move and Senator Hitchcock has predicted 1t as certainty.
 Even If Mir Wilson should resubmit the treaty, the Senate would not act upon it before the election, for the Republican maJoriy in the Senate Is quite as desirous of submitting the issue to the people for judgment as Is the president. The only motive the president could have in resubmitting the treaty at this time is to pass the responsibility for its disposition back to the Senate, which he will ask the people to influence in favor of rati- fication without the reservations twice voted by the majority.
 The veto message is expected to reach Congress within the next fort night, on the eve of the assembling of the Republican convention and the promulgation of the Republican plat form stand on the League of Nations issue made by the president.
 Resolution to House.
 The Knex resolution will be trans mitted by the Senate to the House to- morrow, where the question will arise of concurrence in the Senate amend ments to the Porter peace resolution passed by the House or the reference of the two resolutions to a conference committee for adjustment of the dif- ferences.
 Chairman Porter of the House Com mittee on Foreign Affairs said to- night that he will confer with the other Republican leaders tomorrow on the course to be pursued and predicted that there will be no quarreling over the peace measure. This is regarded as indicative of disposition to acc |cept the Senate substitute resolution. which action would obviate the delay of consideration by conference com mittee.
 The Senate resolution will be called up in the House on Wednesday and if concurred in. it will be in the hands of the president before the end of the week.

SELF WHIPPING IN PHILIPPINES
 Natives Still Indulge in Old Religious Custom

Manila, P. l., May 15.-The practice of self whipping in public to appease divine wrath, which fiourishad in cer- tain countries in Europe centuries ago, still exists in the Philippine Islands, altho in a diminishing degree each year.
 Advices from the provinces where educational advantages are not en- joyed show that the practice was in- dulged in during the Easter holidays this year.
 Hundreds of Americans and other foreigners gathered at an open field few miles from the center of the city to witness the weird performance but only six appeared to do penance.
 These beat themselves over the backs with heavy flexible bamboo -fiogging rods. Later they walked to seven places in the field. denoting the seven points of the cross, where they were beaten by the master of cere- monies. When the flashing is com pleted they throw themselves into a pool of mud and as they come from the stagnant water their wounds are washed with pure water and healing medicines applied.

Marriage is often based the duson that the perfect
being has been discovered After deuson and illusion
disiuson and after that bitterness and sometimes
divorce.
After put in plumbing and steamheating, it leaks
sometimes but the plumber fixes that.
Can we not have psychological plumbers for marriage,
it's troubles and disappontmens? Religion most usefuy
teaches resignation but will not be resigned They
demand improvement.
In the letters received this week several points
of unusual interest. One writes
Don't lie to your wife 1t is bad as lying
to yourself 1 never try to kid myself about my
self and don't lie to my wife While she may
have exaggerated idea of my worth, it is her
affection that probably blinds her. and it is
ideal for me to live up to--a fine upbuder it is.
writes, in a hand barely legibe:
My husband has confidence in me, although
he has no reason to doubt my loyalty fidelity.

ON
Marriage

THERE doesn't seem rhyme or
reason in it. It's one OF those
things which-from the point
Of view of common sense-you'd
say just couldn't happen" But it
seems to be happening all about
us every day. all the time and for
no reason which fully explains it,
With a big, overwhelming love in
her heart for one man, a woman
who feels that love is vain, has sew
eral ways of trying to forget the
unattainable. There's work. There's
travel. There's devoting her life
to good works. There's plugging
along and waiting for time to heal
her wound. There's even hoping
against hope that everything will
come out right in the end, and liv-
ing in the dream of what may yet
come to pass.
But on the evidence OF the let
ters which come to me daily, the
number of women who do the one
thing to wreck their already some
what out-of-true-course existence
Is made up OF all too many digits.
Here's an example of how the
lady in the case makes shipwreck
Of her happiness and that OF at
