DEMAND FOR FATHERS
AT ANNUAL BANQUET
Excel.en. Dinner Followed by Inter.
estins Talk by Rev. James
Perry

There were not enough ia hers to
go around at the annua father and
son banquet given at the Y. M. c. A.
Friday evening but the shortage
didn't seem to interfere with he en-
joyment of the rising generation o.
the appreciation of the. men who were
present.
An excellent dinner. well cooked
ana promptly served under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Chase was the opening
feature followed by the talk by Rev.
J. A. Perry, pastor OF the Bennington
Methodist church, on the subject of
Fair Play" The speaker interject-
ed in his remarks some of the ex
periences OF his school and college
days and gave the boys present some
exec lent advice. He told them that
they should not only play fair but
that they shou d be fair to hers and
be fair to themse yes. The boy who
neglected his opportunities to become
a better equipped man than his father,
he said, was no. playing fair with
himself.
1t is the speakers belief that the
boys in a community like Bennington
have greater opportunities than those
who live in the large cities or hose
who live in the country in that they
have the advantages of both without
the disadvantages of Ell her Here in
Bennington, he said, the young men
have all the social and educational
opportunities of the big city and at
the same time are able to secure bet
ter wages than are paid in either the
large industrial centers or in the
country.
lne music furnished by the orches-
ira of young people was especially
p easing. The musicians played some
of the popular music of he day with
swing and snap that was inspiring
and which earned for them hearty ap-
plause.

PEACE TREATY
SITUATION IS
NOW HOPELESS
According to Associated Press
Dispatches from Washington
LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN
Each Party In Senate Strives to Put
the Blame All on other Side
In Failure

Washington, Feb. 20.--The question
of party responsibility of the peace
trea y deadlock was threshed over In
today with both the Republicans and
Democrats seeking to wash their
hands of the Senate's failure % ACT
and of any consequences in the polit
ical campaign.
Although both sides professed an
earnest desire TO compromise and
squabbied for the credit of past com
promise efforts. there was such a
note of hopelessness in The discus
sion that the treaty's irreconcilable
opponents told the opposition party
leaders they might as wei, put he
question of ratification out Of their
minds and turn the Senate's attention
to the business of legislation.
Among other things the debate
brought out direct disagreement Of
fact as to which side origina ed the
bipartisan conference, in which five
Democrats and four Republicans
sought unsuccessfully to work out an
agreement, and as to what transpired
behind the closed doors Of the con.
fer nce's sessions.
Sena or Hitchcock of Nebraska
starred the fare up by speech
denying charges that the Democrats
wanted the treaty in the campaign
He asserted hat his party had gone
rnine-tenths of the way to COM
promise" and that the Republicans
had stood solidly for acceptance of
their own reservations "withou the
do'ting of an. 81 or the crossing of
a "t'. I. was the minority, he de-
clared who had instigated the bipar-
tisan movemen and who now had
submitted two compromise article ten
reservations which many Repubi-
can senators believed were identical
in substance with the Lodge reserva-
tions on hat srbiect.
Calming credit for the Republi.
cans in initiation OF the bipartisan
Senator Lenroot, one of
the mild reservation Republicans,
charged that he Democratic leader
had stood out against compromise
so determinedly that the Republicans
were driven to agree upon the best
compromise they could among them
selves.
Senator Borah, speaking for the
irreconcilables, declared the two
sides were no nearer agreement than
they were when the league OF ma
tions debate began a year ago to-
morrow, and that further discussion
only was waste of time. The
treaty, he said, already was so far in
TO the campaign that you can no
more keep 1t out than you can stop
half way over Niagara"

of the Green Noun ain club are plan
ming a snow shoe hike for Monday
Notwithstanding the fact that there
Is at present more snow than at any
time during the past two years the
club members have not appeared so
interested as in former years
The officials, however, have now de
termined to carry out at least one
hike and assurances have been re-
ceived from a number of members
hat they will be on hand Monday.
1t is planned to carry he hikers by
team as far as the permanent camp
and to arrange the hike once the par
ty has reached headquarters. 1t is
hoped that as many women members
as possb will avail themselves Of
the opportunity to get out in the
open for the day
The hikers will assemble at the Y.
M. c. A. building as early as possible
after $50 and it is Planned to put in
the entire day in the mountains.
The recent thaw has settled the
snow to considerable extent and
the conditions for a hike cou' d not
be better. There is certainly snow
enough to cover the rought PAGES.

That the pay, enlisting as 1t does.

artistic success goes without saying,
but there are other considerations of

means hard work on the part OF all,
but from present indications their de-
