LATEST EVENTS
AT WASHINGTON

Under complete agreement between
the senate and house conferees next
years naval budget has been fixed
at about $43e, 100000. The two bod.
les compromised on $2o,o0o,oo0 for
naval aviation.
The Senate approved the conference
report on the budget bill. There was
but little discussion, and the report
went through with rush. Similar
action is expected in the house.
Secretary Daniels announced that the
battIeship Oklahoma, now at Key
West, will leave soon for target prac-
tice with the Atlantic fleet at Hamp-
ton Roads.
The senate voted to abolish forty-two
standing committees and reduce the
membership of all others, effective
in the next Congress. This reform
has been urged for years, and the
new committee plan was adopted
virtually without discussion.
The senate reached complete dead
lock with the President on all fea-
lures of the German peace treaty
when Mr.. Wilson's veto message on
the Knox peace resolution was sent
to the house. 1t is believed on all
sides that the President will at an
early date send the treaty back to
the senate.
An appropriation of $3.50. 900 to enable
the department of agriculture to con-
duct experiments looking toward dis
covery of new motor engine fuel is
provided in bill introduced by Rep
resentative knutsen of Minnesota.
President Wilson nominated George G.
e. NeiII to be receiver of public mon-
eys. at Helena, Mont, in place Of
Frank F. Steele, resigned.

agents against alleged profiteering in
central New York was renewed at

WILSON VETOES KNOX
PEACE WITH GERMANY
President Says 1t makes Com
pIete Surrender of Rights of
United States"

Washington.-In a short message to
the house, President Wilson vetoed the
Knox resolution which would declare
war with Germany at an end. When
read in the house, it was received with
prolonged cheering by the Democrats,
led by ex-Speaker Clark. Republican
members remained silent for the most
part, but expressed disapproyal of the
reference made to the failure of the
peace resolution to protect the free
dom of the seas.
The Presidents message pointed out
that the moral obligations which the
United States assumed when it entered
the war were left unsettled by the
failure of the senate to ratify the
peace treaty. Acceptance of the peace
resolution, the President asserted,
would "place ineffacable stains on the
gallantry and honor of the United
States"
None of the things for which the
United States fought, the President
said, would be "safeguarded by the
Knox resolution and Germany would
not be compelled to take action by way
of setting right the infinite wrongs
which it did to the peoples whom 1t
attacked and whom we professed to as
sist when we entered the war"
The message further says that the
United States entered the war reluc-
tantly, but that when it did so it enter
q
cause it became convinced that it
could not in truth be regarded as only
a European war, but must be regarded
as a war in which civilization itself
was involved and human rights of
every kind as against a belligerent
government" The efforts of this coun-
try to create a condition which would
make wars in the future difficult were
obtained in the Treaty of Versailles,
while the resolution, the President
said, did not attempt to accomplish any
of them, but Sin effect, makes a COM
plete surrender of the rights of the
United States so far as the German
government is concerned"
The resolution, the message empha-
sized, failed to provide any machinery
to bring about a reduction of arma-
ments, enforce the freedom Of the seas
or rectify the wrongs done to France
or to settle any of the other questions
that grew out of the war.
The Knox resolution, the message
says, would put us in the position of
saying that this country did not wish
to assume any further Responsibilities
with regard to the freedom Of nations
or the sacredness of international obli-
peoples"

One of the most enjoyable of So
cial affairs took place on New Years
eve when the Bottineau Woman's
Club entertained the members, their
husbands and a few friends, there be-
ing in all thirty people present.
The affair was a surprise to all,
none of the guests knowing what was
in store for them. They were hidden
to the Stone Hotel par'ors at $3.50
and there they matched" partners,
with corresponding slips Of paper.
They were then taken to the Shirley
Cafe where an elaborate four course
dinner was served and right here we
will have to say that DR.. c. A. Leon
ard is right there when it comes to
carving, for he carved a whole ham
and the way he welded the knife was
nothing slow. Preceding the dinner
Mrs. v. L. Mangun spoke few words
of welcome on behalf of the Club and
at the close of the dinner, Mr.. +. Z.
Falkenstein spoke on "The Woman's
Cub" About $3.50 the guests were
taken to the Grand Theatre, where a
special seven reel program was put
IN, after the show the party went to
the Commercial Club rooms where
whist was n1aved until the New Year
was ushered in, when they departed
for their homes all feeling they hao
had a most enjoyable tire.
