C.O.P.CAINS VOTES
Ratification Made More Certain
by New Reservation.
Further OBJECTIONS OF Demo-

Washington, March 17.-Following
the introduction by the Republicans
Of a new reservation to the peace
definite international pledges of Arti-
Gle Ten, claims were made of further
Democratic gains for ratification with
the Republican qualifica ton attached.
The new reservation. drafted by
Senator Lenroot, declares the United
States would view with grave con-
Europe and would consider what ac-
ton it would take in the premises.
While not many members of the ad-
ministration have had opportunity to
study the reservation and It's effect.
some senators predicted that its adop-
ton would palliGte resentment over
the reservation to Article 10 which
cut the heart from the league of ma
tons
Debate on the new reservation may
start today, unless it is decided to give
more time for study of its provisions,
in which case the reservation relating
to the Egyptian protectorate probably
will be voted on.
The latter aroused lively controversy
yesterday over the Irish question with
Senator Kenyon. Republican Iowa,
begging his colleagues to quit "dema-
goguing' about Great Britain and ask
ing what they would think if some
one attempted 20 raise funds and
carry on propaganda in the British
empire for freedom of the Philippines

ton in this country. Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado, declared the Brit

The exhibition of curios and art
treasur a. the A. A Robinson home
in Tyler street is proving as popular
as the recent art display of paintings
at Washburn. 1t is even more inter
esting because the articles on exhibit
ton are all contributed by Topeka
people and have the added interest of
local ownership. The exhibition is
under the direction of two of the club
house teams, headed by Mrs. Bennett
r. Wheeler and Mrs. Robinson. All
members of the Woman's club. their
fsrnilies and any friends who are in
terested in beautiful art works and
curios are welcome to visit the Robin
son home this evening after O'Clock
ana see the rare and beautiful articles
on display. The Robinson home was
open yesterday afternoon and those
who attended the exhibit were enthus-
iastic over the collections.
1t is surprising to Topekans to find
how many treasures belong here.
There are fans, shawls,. paintings,
brasses. china, carved wood and ivory.
strange lamps. handmade lace and
drawnwork and many other articles,
which. if seen in some distant city.
would seem wonderful. but which are
really just as well worth seeing in
Topeka.

co-oPs HEAR COLONEL PERoN.
French Officer Expresses Hope for
Continued U. STRANGE Friendship.


Desire for a continued and closer
friendship between the United States
and France and for thriving business
relation between the two countries
was expressed tosthe members of the
Cooperative club and their guests at
Pelletier's tea room last night by Lieut..
Col. George Peron, late of the French
army, now stationed at Fort Leaven-
worth.
The two republics have much in
common, Colonel Peron said, with
democratic government as a solid
foundation for cordial relations.
France is now working vigorously in
cooperation of American business
men, he said.
Lieutenant Colonel Peron is one of
only two French officers now stationed
in the United States. He served with
the French army during the entire
war. and was wounded in the battle
of the Marine and twice later. He is
the possessor of the medal of the Lee
gion of Honor and the CroiX de Guerre
and other recognitions of service. De-
tailed to serve for two years in the
United States, he plans to make at
least one trip to France in that time
for he will go to his home country in
June to be married, returning directly
with his bride to America.
Colonel Peron presented nearest rel
atives of Shawnee county world war
heroes with certificates of apprecia-
ton from the French government. at
the Grand theater Sunday. March Z.
The program last night included
numbers by the Republican quartet;
comedy readings by Miss Gertrude
Workman, niece of DIR. George H. Lit
singer. and>a short talk by Isaiah Hale
commissioner of safety for the Santa
Fe railroad.
