CHICKEN FLOCK REQUIRES
PLENTY OF FRESH WATER

Plenty Of fresh water should always
be accessible to the hens. If supplied
irregularly they are likely to drink
too much at time. 1t should not be
exposed TO the suns rays in summer
nor be allowed to freeze in winter if
this can be avoided.
In very frosty weather it is often
worth while to give the flock slightly
warmed water two or three times a
day rather than permit them to drink
water at the freezing point. A f,ocl.
of so hens in good laying condition
will require four to six quarts of wat

llation" to the White House, Senator
McCormick, of Illionois, led in the at
tack of the Republican frreconcilables.
"a set Of weasel words" was the way
Senator Brandegee, Republican, of
Connecticut, described the compromise
proposal, while Senator Knox, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, asserted that
it would leave upon the United States
the moral obligation for which Presi-
dent Wilson haG contended.
In general form the new reservation
follows the language worked out by
Senator Watson, of Indiana, for the
Republicans and Senator Simmons, of
North Caroline for the Democrat in
their compromise negotiations. For
this language thirty Democratic votes
are understood to have been promised,
but several last minute changes in
wording, made by Senators Lodge and
Watson before the reservation was
pres sented, were held to have inval-
dated the Democratic pledge and a
new canvas had not been completed
tonight
Irreconcilables Net Alone.
On the Republican side the defec-
ton was not confined to the irrccon-
cilables alone, Senator Frclinghuysen
of New crsey, who had voted for rati-
t!cation with the original reservation,
declaring on the floor that he never
would take the substitute, and SEN
at"r Wadsworth, Of New York, tell
ing his party leaders he could not see
whel Elm they had improved on their
original measure. The Republican
lea' ~ however, insisted they could
y 'ia - LAST thirty votes in line, and
the Democrats who favored the sub
stitute hoped to deliver more than
thirty from their side. 1t takes sixty
four to ratify.
In presenting the substitute Sena-
tor Lodge declared it did not alter in
Il respect the substance of the res
crvation or weaken the denial of the
nations obligations under Article X.

LODGE FACES THREATS
FROM THE BORAH CROWD
Republican Leader Makes Overture
for Peace by Offering Article 10
Reservation.
TREATY FOES SURPRISED.
Much Speculation Regarding Presi-
dents Attitude Now That Re-
publicans Have Offered Modi-
ficatiOn.

Washington, March IA substi-
tute for the Lodge reservation to Ar
ticle x, which had stood unaltered for
many weeks as the storm center Of
the peace treaty controversy, was pro-
posed in the Senate today by it's au-
thor, Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, the Republican leader.
The move, described by the Rcpub-
lican managers as a step toward har-
mony and compromise, at first led the
Senate in exactly the opposite direc-
tion by starting discussion whether
the new draft was weaker in it's terms
than the old. The mild reservation
lists, backed by most Of the Republi-
can membership, said it was not. The
Republican irreconcilables said it was
Fand served notice that they would not
help adopt it, as they did the original
The Democrats, keeping silent, studied
the proposal with apparent suspicion
and withheld any decision as to what
they would do.
AS result Of the possibilities of a
final agreement remained as cloudy
as ever and party leaders revised their
predictions of an early vote on Arti-
clio X. 1t had been hoped to reach a
rool call today, but tonight no one
was predicting action before Monday

Democratic Opinion.

Democratic Opinion.
Only two Democrats expressed
their opinion on the floor, Senator
Smith, of Georgia, who had supported
the original reservation, declaring
himself for the substitute, and Sen
ator Mcclellan, of Tennessee, who has
stood consistently with the admins
tration forces, announcing his oppos-
ition to the new proposal. 1t was un-
derstood, however, that Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, the admins
tration leader, objected to the substi-
tutc, as he had to the Watson-Sim-
mons draft, and would make an eff
fort to line up enough Democrats to
prevent ratification should the sub
stitutc be adopted.
Senator Lodges preservation of the
substitute apparently took the irre-
concilables by surprise, and, aside
from their deliberations on the floor,
there were many pr;va,c expressions
of dissatisfaction. They had con-
stantly and successfully e&crted pres
sure during the bipartisan negotia-
tions and during the Watson Simmons
negotiations to prevent any modifca-
ton Of the original Lodge reservation,
and until today they apparently be-
licvcd they had convinced him that he
should not put in the new substitute.
Many Possibilities.
AS it finally stood, the substitute
represented the result Of long consid-
Grafton by the Republican leaders, in
which Senator Lodge and Senator
Watson are understood to have had
the advice Of Elihu Root, former Sec
rctary Of State. 1t was indicated,
however that attempts might be
made to amend it on the Hocr and ev-
eryone admitted that, in view of the
unsettled situation and the even bal

San Francisco. March 31-Herbert Hoover today had placed himself be- fore Republicans of the country as an 1 avowed candidate for their presiden- tial nomination. though a receptive one only. In a telegram to the Hoover Republican Club of California he announced last night that recent developments in the peace treaty sit uation 'stagnation" in adjustment of the country's economic problems and urgent representations concerning the situation in California had impelled him 'to confirm the action my Re publican friends have already taken without consulting me-"

CORFU WAITS
 FOR EX-KAISER

Corfu, Greece, March 31-Every few days Corfu, before the war the favorite resort of the then German emperor, hears a report that William is anxious to return to his castle here and sometimes the rumors actually fix a, time for his arrival. Conse- quent1y, he is much discussed by the residents of the little Greek island, which had many thrills in ante-be1- lum days when William and his suite made merry at the Achilles Castle, constructed within rife range of the ancient forts overlooking the rugged islands best haTbor.
 Most of the Corfu folk become ex- tremefy indignant at the suggestion that a Greek island could be mem toned as a shelter for William, the village testers apparently reviving the rumor to keep the drowsy island awake.

 It is generally believed that while some rate cutting may result in de- cIining to give free service by the bu- reau, local agents will bring enough pressure to prevent it. It is, of course, understood that the old line companies are not going to let their business be raided, as some have feared will be the case Besides this, the unpleasant notoriety of being a cut rate company does not appeal to either agents or business men who are looking for good protection and service just as they have always done.
