BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. Fob. 1S.-Tw o
modified drafts of the article ten
reservation to the peace treaty were
laid before republican senators Fri
day by Sen. Hitchcock, the demo-
cratic leader, with a promise that
about forty democrats would sup-
port whichever Of proposals the re-
'publicans found preferable
Both of the propositions, however,
had been rejected by republican
leaders in the course of the disrupt
ed bipartisan negotiations and it
was indicated Friday night that
there was little nope that either
would be accepted now. The repub-
licans withheld a formal reply. how
ever, pending a canvass of the stu

Revision Offered.
Sen. Hitchcock was that worked out
but not finally agreed to by the bi-

very unfortunate" in form. The

cans today Sen. Hitchcock put his
proposition in writing with the sig
natures OF % democratic senators
appended. Those who signed in
cluded, he said, virtually all who
we're at the capitol during the day
and represented every element
among the treaty's democratic
friends. At least a dozen more, he
predicted, would give tnelr support

Sen. HitChcock's move was the
only surface development in the
treaty fight during the day. the sub
iect being kept out OF debate on the
floor and the compr omise nesotia-
tions in progress on the republican
side failing TO produce any definite
conclusion.
Press dispatches saying tnat Can
ada had asked Great Britain not to
accept the republican reservation on
voting power, caused some comment,
but there was no evidence that tho
development would stir senators on
the majority side TO modify the res
ervation. The democrats declared II

cation however, while the irrecon-
cilable opponents Of ratification, as

and that he would have been dere-
lict in his duty if he had failed to
act as he did.
As the record stands. Mr.. lansing
rendered his resignation. and Mr.
Wilson accepted it. The resignation
was offered, however, only after the
president, under date of Feb. z, had
written asking if it were true that
Mr.. Lansing had called cabinet
meetings, and stating that if such
were the case he felt Il necessary to
say that under our constitutional
law and practice. as developed hith-
erto, no one but the president has
the right 10 summon the heads OF
the executive departments into con-
ference"

Mr. Lansing answered two days
later-last Monday-saying he had
called the cabinet conferences be
cause he and others Of the presi-
dents official family felt that, in
view Of the fact that we were denied
communication with you. II was wise
for US TO confer informally together
on ''*'" matters as to which action
could not be postponed until your
medical advisers permitted you to
pass upon them"
The secretary concluded by saying
that If the president believed he had
failed in his loyalty" TO him and if
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
in him he was ready TO relieve you
OF any Embarrassment by placing
my resignation in your hands"
But the differences between the
president and the secretary Of state
long pre-dated the first cabinet call
by Mr.. Lansing, which was issued
last oct 5. seven days after Mr.. VIII

POST OFFICE IN
Big ROOM NEED
Facilities for Handling Mails
0utgroWn by Increase
in Business.

South Bends rapid growth and the
heavy increase in the volume OF mail
matter entering the post office here
for transmission have far outstripped
present facilities for handling the
mail, according to post office officials.
Some idea of the volume OF mail
matter handled daily at the South
Bend post Office may be gained when
II is known that between go and
$4,000 letters alone are stamped
daily at tthe stamp cancelling table
alone. This is exclusive OF the cir
culars and other pieces of letter ma il
that do not come under the head of
first class mail matter. Some further
idea OF the volume of business trans
acted at the South Bend post office is
given by the following figures: From
Jan. 1 TO June 80. 1919 there were
1856 pieces or registered mail
handled, and from July l to Dec. 81
cf the same year there were 1S,9O9
pieces Of maE registered. making a
total Of registered packa ges for the
year 31,465.
Amount Of Mail
During the period hc;ween Jan. l
and July of lust year 16,197 parcels
were insured and the number insured
during the last half Of the same year
was 39.15O. The number of C. o. d..
packages handled during the first
half OF 1919 was 7.743. and during
the last nllf OF 919 the number WIS
1910.
All these figures show substa ntial
decreases durI~S 1919. and tEa in
creases are sven heavier during the
fore par OF ire present year.

science of efficiency was thought OF
