Laughter interrupted the Senator.

so, Senator Harding went on. "We have
not said so because there are numerous
acts of Congress creating extraordinary
war powers that are not automatically
repealed until we have a formal dcclara-

The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1920-01-22

A very interesting bit of tunneing
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes show
ed a thickness of only eight inches
of sound dry rock above the line along
which the top Of the tunnel was to
run. As the tunnel was being driven
without the use of compressed air 1t
was decided to drop the upper head
ing four feet until this thin cover OF
rock was passed The cast iron lining
was set in place at each side Of this
section and the rock was removed
very carefully by using a great many
holes, each loaded with about one
eighth of stick of dynamite. As each
bit of rock was removed the arch Of
the tunnel lining was set in place BY
this means the dangerous section was
tunneled without breaking through
the thin shell.

Emphasizing a Great Truth.

Tire failure of the Senate Repub-
lican leaders to offer Or to permit
consideration of interpretative reser-
vatiOns that would preserve the
general purpose of the treaty, and so
to permit its ratification, condemns
them to the criticism of the Nation
and to the contempt OF the world"
In these words the Democratic Ma
tional committee voices the SEN
timerts of a vast majority of the
American people. Coming from a po-
litical organization the expression
will be set down by many as partisan,
but the injustice CT this is estab-
lished by the fact known of all men
that nearly all Democrats and many
OF the Republicans are prepared to
subscribe to it.
Ratification with interpretive res
ervations, if desired, is what the
people are demanding, and yet fac
tionalism, inspired by ambition, jeal-
ousy and malice, obstructs action and
defeats reason. The Democratic COM
mittee has spoken great truth in
language to be Understood and re-
mem5ered. New York World

Not Quite So HauChty

The latest reports from Washing
ton are that the naughty Ledge, who
announced lately that if the Presi-
dent wanted anything he could come
to him and ask nicely for it, has con-
concluded to accept modification of
his reservations. When this session
began Mr.. Lodge said there was no.
thing for the Senate to do, and the
President could take the reservations
or leave them; there would be no
change. Some CT his colleagues who
wish their party to have 4 chance of
carrying the election next year have
succeeded in driving a few valuable
ideas into his head, and he is not
quite so naughty as he was.-Phila-
