It's a good thing our buried hopes

Nothing pleases some people more

RETRIRUTION.

There was a man whose fame was
won,
By blowing in an empty gun.
No sooner in the gun he blew,
Than off this mortal sphere he flew,
And met the girl in yonder scene,
Who lit the fire with kerosene
And there he saw in vengeance dire,
The one who called man liar.
He was budding close as if for life,
Beside the man who whipped his wife.
Take warning each, take warning all,
For retribution sure will fall
On him who does careless deed,
Or wrongs another without heed.

Colleges Overwhelmingly
For Treaty Compromise
Out Of 1l4,953 Students and
Teachers Voting Only IL, 500
Opposed the Pact

The colleges of the East, Middle
West and New England States are over
whclmingly in favor of a compromise be-
tween the Lodge and Democratic reser-
vations to the peace treaty, and for
immediate ratification on that basis,
This is one of the outstanding facts con-
nected with the final tabulation of the
voting upon the peace treaty referen-
dunn that was recently held in the col
leges throug ghout the country.
The Far West is about evenly divided
between ratification without reserva-
tlons and ratification without a COM
promise. The Southern States, with
the exception of Florida, stand almost
solldly for the peace treaty and league
of nations in their original form.
The referendum was held in 40 col
leges and was taken part in by 114,95t
students and faculty members.
An analysis shows that out of the
1925 voting only ,599 were utterl,
opposed to the treaty in any form.
The four propositions and the vote
cast follow:
l. favor the ratification of the
league and treaty without reservations
or amendments. Total votes, 37,444.
:. ! am opposed to the ratification oil
the league and treaty in any form
Total votes, 1850.
3. favor ratification of the treaty
but only with the Lodge reservations
Total votes, 21,161.
4. favor a compromise between the
Lodge and the Democratic reservations
IN order to facilitate the ratification o,
the treaty Total votes, 44,7S9.

Williams Contests
Charge Prices Have
Risen Since August
Department of Agriculture
Statement Held Unfair.
as Staples Named Were
Plentiful in Summer

Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-
mlnistrator, took exception Yesterday
to statements given out by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture at Washington to
the effect that the cost of food in this
city had advanced from 10 to 100 per
cent since August.
Mr.. Williams declared the figures
quoted by the Department of Agri-
culture were confined to garden prod
ucts, including potatoes, onions and
cabbage. The comparison was unfair.
he said, because in August these sum
mer vegetables were far moro plenti
full than in January.
He stated that the fair price list of
twenty-five varieties of groceries
showed an average of 22.2 cents an
article for December 81, 1919, COM
pared with 236 cents for December
81, 1918. The average of the meat list,
which includes eighteen varieties, was
34.2 cents, compared with 1916 cents a
year ago, saving of sd cents.
"The committee emphasizes" Mr..
Williams said, chat all these prices
are based upon the cash and carry
system, the condition under which the
majority of the people of this city
buy their home supplies. Dealers es-
innate that at least rs per cent of the
people carry their purchases home.
Delivery of the purchased article is a
service which does not add to the food
value. The cost of all service of this
kind has increased enormously during
the last year.
"That the food dealers of the city
are observing the food administration
margins is indicated through test
just finished, in which it was found
that the average of the stores was
twenty-five cents compared with 22.4
cents as shown by the fair price list "
The Food Administrator decleared he
was preparing to conduct thorough
inquiry into the conditions making for
the -four price. He will meet the
wholesale bakers to-day for final
conference on advancing the price of
bread to retailers, who are expected to
pass the advance on to the consum-

Switching of Plebiscite
Troops Mystifes London
Eleven British Battalions Or.
dered to Return After Reach.
ing Destinations

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Some Of the
newspapers give great prominence to
the cancellation Of the original orders
sending British troops into the pleb-
iscite areas in Silesia, East Prussia
and Schleswig. Eleven battalions and
brigade of artillery we're scheduled
for plebiscite duty, but it was officially
announced yesterday without reason
being given that it was found neces-
sary to modify the arrangement.
Under the new program only one bat
talon will, so to Schleswig, another to
Danzig and still another to Allenstein.
Speculation is rife regarding the des-
tination of other battalions.
The Daily Mail" which describes
the affair as "mystery," says advance
parties of eleven battalions already
have arrived at their destinations and
lave been ordered to return immedi-
ately. The newspaper refers to the
Paris suggestion that troops be sent to
protect Georgia and Azerbaijan against
he Dolsheviki and the report that
French troops will be substituted for
the British units in the plebiscite
sreas. 1t adds that, whatever the rea-
sen, the decision was made at tho
recent conference Of the Allies in Paris.

are much more serious now than they
were when presented at that time and
are set forth fully in the accompanying
letters from the chiefs of the bureaus
OF operation, construction and repairs,
steam engineering and yards and docks.
Ut will be seen from these letters
that unless an appropriation is avail
able there will be serious loss of the
military efficiency of the navy. These
officers, whose letters l am enclosing,
are charged with the responsibility Of
keeping the fleet in readiness for any
emergency that may occur and their
letters show the necessity for this ap-
preparation.
No Funds to Pay Mechanics
~ need not say to you that the
necessity Of discharging $4,000 skilled
artisans, whose service to the navy
in the war was one of the importan.
factors of its efficiency, would be q
matter of grave concern, and tha,
without this appropriation it will be
my painful duty to discharge these
men, because there will be no funds
to pay them. l am sure that the Con

from the naval officers who have giver
this matter great study. will agree with
me that this is matter of immediate

You mean that strikes could be con-

Illinois.
"Yes," said Mr.. Gompers. "Under
the provisions of this bill, if an organi-
zatlon should seek to undo the woman
suffrage amendment to the Constitu-
ton, for instance, or to repeal the pro-

Urged to Go Slowly
Zachariah Chafee, of the Harvard
Law School, the next witness, said the
committee should go slowly in enact
ment of such measure.
"The American policy in the past"
MIR. Chafee said, "has been to let men
talk and to trust in our American in
stitutions to prevent the talk amount
ing to anything. l believe in the end
that truth always will be successful
over falsehood."
Horace A. Davis, the next Witness
presented petition from the Harvard
Liberal Club, of Poston, which he said
had no political affiliations and was not
socialist in character, protesting
against the bill. The petition declared
the proposed legislation to be in viola
ton of the Constitution, referred to il
as a calamity, said 1t would increase
and not diminish revolutionary ten
dency, and prophesied that it would
quickly be repealed by "an outraged
people"

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Jan 22.-The mi
grafton of the negro from tho South
is continuing as the demand for negro
labor in Northern cities increases, Eu-
gene kinkle Jones, executive secretary
OF the National Urban League, said
to-day in an address before the Tuske-
gee conference
The war carried negro labor into
foundries, factories, mines. docks and
freight yards, where it never had been
before, Mr.. Jones said. Negro women
had found employment in growing
numbers as factory hands, milliners
clerks, wrappers and checkers in
stores, he added, and the demand for
more workers is increasing in every
part Of the country.
w. J. Decatur, principal of the Gin
cinnati Colored Industrial School, said
that among the 10000 negro workers in
plants in Cincinnati are 800 machinists
end chauffeurs, $500 molders and car
makers, 400 cabinet makers, 800 butch
ers and packers, 400 preserving and
canning workers, 800 shirt makers and
GOO leather workers.
N. B. Young, president of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at Tai
lahassee, Fla, urged that "old line cul-
tura" colleges, as we'll as agricultural,
mechanical and scientific schools, add
technical forces and equipment to en-
able the negro to hold his new economic
status as one Of the vital factors in in
dustry.
Other speakers were B. F. Hurbert,
of the faculty of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Orangeburg, S.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The at
tempt Of the Democrats in the Senate
to pass vote Of censure on Rear Ad-
miral William S. Sims for his sensa-
tional attacks on Secretary of the
Navy Daniels struck a snag to-day
when the Senate, by party vote Of
33 to 80, refused to permit considera-
tion of the resolution to that effect
yesterday by Senator
Walsh, of Montana.
There was no debate permissible un-
der the rules, but it is expected that
Senator Walsh will renew his effort
within the next few days. The Demo
Gratis are extremely incensed over tho
Sims charges and regard them az In
volving the most serious attack on the
Administration in connection with its
conduct of the war.
Although successful in blocking the
resolution of censure, the Republicans
were caught mapping when Senator
Hale, of Maine, called up his resolu-
ton providing for the employment Of
counsel and extra clerks to assist the
subcommittee Of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee in its conduct of the
exhaustive inquiry that. Is to be made
into the Sims charges.
Hale Motion Lost
The Hale motion was lost by a tie
vote of 81 to 81. On this motion, Sen
ator Borah, of Idaho. voted with tine
Dem ocrats. Throughout the debates or
the peace treaty Senator Borah has
charged repeatedly that the United
States permitted itself to be made the
tool Of the British government in the
Paris peace conference.
Consequently, i'll commenting on the
Sims disclosures concerning the verba
instructions which he received mot tt
permit the British to pull the WOO
over his eyes" Senator Borah ha.
stated that it would have been far bet
ter had such instructions been more
generally given and followed.
Owing to the fight that was antici
pated on both the Hale and Walsh
resolutions the Senate Subcommittee
suspended Tor the day lts hearing!
on the alleged discrimination of Sccre
tary Daniels in the award of nava
decorations. 1t will resume its hear

Likewise they are confident Of thei
