House Democrats, in Caucus,
Go on Record as Unfavorable

WILSON LETTER URGED
AGAINST SUCH ACTION
Chief Executives Idea Was
That Nothing Be Done 50

To Its National Convention.

Washington. Feb. 9. Rejecting
President Wilson's advice, house
democrats in caucus tonight went on
record as unfavorabe to universal
military training by vote Of loo to
II. The president, in letters to, dem
ocratic leaders earlier in the day,
asked that action be withheld so the
party's stand might be left to its ma
tional convention.
The rejection OF the presidents
appeal was double in its scope. for
before declaring against military
training the caucus rejected, SO to 81.
a proposal that all action on the
question be deferred "at this time
This vote, cast on the motion OF
Representative Doremus, Michigan,
came after a three-hour discussion

''it is the sense of this caucus" de-
clared the resolution adopted by the
democrats, that no measure should
be passed by this congress providing
for universal compulsory military
service or training"
Though not binding. on the demo.
cratic membership OF the house, The
caucus decision was interrupted by
Representative Caldwell Of New
York, who led the fight against the
caucus action as precluding the pos
siblity of universal training being
incorporated in the army reorganiza-
ton bill that will soon be brought
before congress. In formal state
ment after the conference, he said:
"Unless there is considerable
change in sentiment on the demo-
cratic side of the house, it is quito
apparent there arc not enough re-
publicans who favor universal train
ing to include it III the reorganization

Nevertheless it is anticipated thai
both house and senate will have to
vote on the universal training pro,
posal, for it is included in the senate
bill, and Representative Kahn, re-
publican. California, chairman of the
house military committee which is
framing the house bill, reiterated to-
night his intention of pressing adop-
ton of the plan.
President Wilson. in his letter
which was presented at the caucus
after being made public during the
day, declared any action that would
make the proposal a party issue
would be unfortunate" Urging that
action be foregone until the party's
convention in June, the president
wrote:
Presidents Letter.
81 am told that caucus of the
democratic members of the house Of
representatives has been called to
consider pending military legislation,
and the suggestion has been made
that resolution be adopted COM

Of the house against the policy of
general military training. In the
present circumstances it would seem
to me unfortunate to make a party

since within a few months the party

PARTYTURnS DOWN PRES|DEn !
PEACE TREATY
\ FIGHT TAKEN TO
FLOOR OF SENATE
Rules Suspended by J to | Ma
jority After Norris Refuses
Unanimous Consent.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The peace
treaty was formally brought back
| into the open senate today, but as
soon as parliamentary barriers to its
consideration had been removed it
was put aside again for a period of
waiting which the leaders said
would last at least a week.
Suspending its rules by BIZ
partisan majority of seven to one,
and virtually without debate, the
senate reconsidered in short order
the action by which ratification
failed on November l9, and then,
as a matter of formality, sent the
treaty to the foreign relations COM
mlttee with instructions to report
it back at once with the reserva-
tions framed by the republicans at
the last session of congress.
The committee expects to act to-
morrow, but it was announced to-
night that Senator Lodge would
ask that its report be not taken
up for consideration until next week.
Urgent Legislative matters, includ-
ing appropriations and tariff legis-
lation, it was said, were expected
to occupy the senate's time in the
interval.
Debate of Short Duration.
The complicated technical oper-
alton of taking the treaty from its
plgeonhole was accomplished in &C
cordance with program previous
ly agreed on by republican and
democratic leaders and with no one
but the irreconcilable foes of ratifi-
cation raising a voice in opposition.
The debate was kept strictly to
parliamentary questions and was of
short duration, disappointing the
largest crowd which has gathered
in the senate galleries since the
treaty was laid aside in November.
Thirty-four democrats and % re-
publicans voted to suspend senate
rules so that the treaty again could
be considered, while uine republi-
cans, all of them of the irreconcil-
able group, voted against. The ac-
ton was taken on motion of Sen-
ator Lodge after one of the irrecon-
cilables. Senator Norris. republi-
can, Nebraska. had blocked suspen-
sion of the rules by unanimous con-
sent.
Reconsideration Ordered.
By acclamation, and again on the
motion of the republican leader, the
senate then ordered reconsideration
of its previous roll call on ratihca-
ton and sent the treaty to COM
mittee. The latter step, it was ex-
planned, was taken to abrogate the
cloture which was imposed last ses-
sion and which Vice President Mar
shall held must come back into the
senate with the treaty.
Only two roll calls were taken,

OUR OWN BUSINESS IF

New York, Feb. 9.-"If women
smoke, it is nobody's business but
their own,' was the def voiced at the
convention of the Federation OF
Women's Clubs at the Hotel Astor
by Mrs. John Frances Yawger, for
mer president of the federation, in
answer to a published appeal by au-
thorities of the Methodist church, re-
questing women to refrain from
smoking.
TOO many mandatory things are
being thrust upon this country" de-
clared Mrs. Yawger. II don't be-
lieve in laws to control the private
acts of individuals. This Country is
supposed to have free speech, and
freedom of life. liberty-aHd the pur-
suit of happiness. Why does every
body want to take them away from
us? 1t is time the men stopped tell
ing women what they ought and
ought not to do and trusted them a
little more
Mrs. Eugene Grant. another for
mer president of the federation, was
indignant over the appeal. She said:
"After prohibition, what next? 1t
is not a question of whether we, as
individuals, wish to smoke, but
whether we. have right to smoke"

aOE STECHER AND
 EARL PADDOCK ID
 FIGHT OUT TITLE
Wonderful Match Is Sure to Take Place When Two Rivals Meet-No
 Fav0rite
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The premier of wrestling matches is sure to take place when Earl Caddock and Joe Stecher meet in New York for the worlds championship Jan uary 31. Caddock is recog- nized champion, while Stecher, the former title holder, is the greatest rival of the A. E. F. wrestler.
 A few years ago Caddock was un- known in the grappling world He met and threw many prominent men, and finally came before the public eye. He was matched with Stecher then the champion, and gained one fall ever the Nebraska Farmer. He was awarded the match when Joe refused to come out for second fall, and then gave no rea- sons for his actions.
 Recently Stecher has stated that he had underestimated Caddock, and had not trained for his first meeting with Earl. He gives this as his reason for being defeated by Caddock. He further stated that he now realizes the ability of Caddock and has been training hard and consistently for the mill at Mad ison Square Friday night.
 Joe has been making a tour of the country, taking on all corners. He has
