OPERATION ON TREATY BY
SENATE PROCEEDS DESPITE
Observation-Disclosures

Washington, March S.-Limiting
debate by consent, the senate
moved swiftly today to reduce its
fight over the peace treaty to basic
issues.
Four more republican reserva-
tions were re-adopted, two without
change. while negotiations for a
compromise on article ten were
pressed toward a conclusion, ap-
parently unaffected by the renewed
declaration of President Wilson
against any material weakening Of
the treatys provisions.
The presidents letter, coming
when article ten negotiations were
declared by one sponsor to have
brought the two sides every near
together was given differing in
terpretations. But democratic SEN
ators working for a compromise
continued their efforts, telling their
colleagues they felt. free to act
since the executive did not say he
would pocket the treaty If it car
ried compromise reservations.
In the senate today the last of
dhe fourteen republican reserva-
.tions except those relating to article
ten and league voting power were
swept out of the way and debate on
the voting power provision begun.
The four adopted related to arma-
ments, the economical boycott,
alien property and the labor Sec
tion, the latter being brought to a
roll call without debate.

agreement, leaders emphasized that
the last pull might prove the hard
est and m.nimized hope thai a
sufficient number of senator's TO
insure ratification would be
brought into accord. 1t also was
pointed out that neither Senator
Lodge nor Senator Hitchcock,
democratic leader. had openly con-
sented to negotiations and that
even il a bipartisan agreement
were reached 1t might not COM
mand a two-thirds vote.
Senator Hitchcock described
President Wilson's letter as "illum-
mating" Senator Lodge declined
to discuss it, and Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, leader of the ir-
reconcilables, said the president
had helped insure the treaty's de-
feat by throwing cold water on
compromise.
Democratic senators were quick
to see, however, that the president
did not advise them to vote against
ratification as he did last Novem-
Der, nor promise to ''pigeonhole"
the treaty if 1t were ratified with
more than interpretative resolu-
tions. In that respect they con-
trasted 1t with his November let
ter, in which he suggested that the
treaty with republican reservations
be voted down.
It also was pointed out by demo-
Gratis that Mr.. Wilson did not CEN
ter his objection on any specific
form of reservation and from this
hope was revived i'm some quarters
that he would take under protest
such compromise as now Is under
negotiation,

Kansas City. Mo, March s.
Presenting his report to the bien-
NAL convention of district IA, Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, AL
exander Howat, president of the
district, quoted Abraham Lincoln
as the friend of labor and favor
ing the right to strike"
Howat quoted twice from Lin
coin. A speech delivered at New
Haven, Conn, March 6, 1860, was
quoted from as follows;
al am glad TO see system of
labor prevails in New England un-
der which labor can strike when
it wants to; when they are not
obliged to work under all circum
stances, and are not tied down and
obliged to labor wether you pay
them or not.
Lincoln's message to congress
December 6, 1861, was quoted as
follows
Labor is prior and indie
pendent of capital. Labor is
superior to capital and de-
serves much higher considera-
ton. No men living are more
worthy to be tS'usted than
those who toll up from pow
erty, and none less entitled to
take or touch aught which
they have not honestly earn

HUNTERS REACH LAND
AFTER FLOATING 10
DAYS ON AN ICE CAKE

Nome, Alaska, March s.
Three Eskimo hunters came
into Nome over the sea ice to-
day and reported they had been
drifting fifteen days on an ice
cake in the Behring sea, out of
sight of land. They said they
had suffered from cold and
hunger.
The men reported that while
hunting seals they camped on
the ice off the mouth of the
Yukon river, $50 miles south
of Nome, over two weeks ago.
One morning they awoke to
find a gale had torn their ice
cake free and had carried it to
sea. They did not sight land
again until March 2. The men
reached Nome by working their
canoe through the loose ice un-
til they reached the solid shore
ice.

Boston, March 8. -- Growing
weakness on the part of the men of
the country is developing a sinister
feminism, Cardinal O'Connell told
a gathering of men at the Cathed-
raj of the Holy Cross last night.
Man, as the head of the house, he
said, should assert his proper au-
thority in the home.
Failure to do this, the cardinal
asserted, leads to false feminism,
which unless it is curbed in time,
will have disastrous results for hu-
manity. "The women are becoming
masculine, If you please, and the
men are becoming effeminate. This
Is disorder"

obligations under it. We gain moth
ing by such stipulations and secure
nothing already secured. 1t was
understood as a matter of course at
the conference in Paris that what
ever obligations any government
assumed or whatever duties 1t un-
dertook under the treaty would
have to be fulfilled by its usual and
established constitutional methods
of action. Once or twice in meet
ings of the conference, when the
treaty was under consideration,
reservations were made to that eff
feet by the representatives, of indi-
vidual powers, and these 'reserva-
tons were invariably received
in the way in which men who have
met for business and not for talk
always receive acts of scrupulous
ogation--listened to with in
different silence, AS such men listen
to what is a matter of course ana
was not necessary to say.
There can be no objection to eX-
planning again what our constitu-
tional method is and that our con-
gress alone can declare war or de-
termine the causes or occasions for
war, and that it alone can author
ize the use of the armed forces OF
the United States on land or on the
sea. But to make such a declaration
would certainly be work of su-
pereogation.
Reservations Objectionable.
II am sorry to say reservations
that have come under my notice
are almost without exception, not
interpretation of the articles to
which it is proposed to attach them
| but in effect virtual notifications
Of those articles.
"Any reservations which seeks to
deprive the league of nations of the
force of article ten cuts at the very
heart and life of the covenant it
self. Any league of nations which
does not guarantee as a matter OF
incontestable right the political in
dependence and integrity of each OF
its members might hardly be more
than futile scrap of paper, as in
effective in operation as the agree
ment between Belgium and Ger

Trenton is very anxious to have the
rest of he state contribute none to
build a great memorial hall In tha'
CITY In honor of the New Jersey boys

Trenton Times cannot understand why
the rest of the state. particularly the
north Jersey counties, do not enthuse
over the project.
The reason is simple. A large as

most exclusively for the benefit OF the
people of Trenton. Comparatively lew

The project for a memorial pfiuse

seen and used constantly not only by

ABoLIsHING GRADE CROSSINGS.

We congratulate Asbury Park upon
having secured some recognition from
the Public Utility Commission in re-
gard to the elimination of the grade
crossings and the erection of a new
station. Perth Amboy had her request
for the abolition of grade crossings
before the utility commission long be-
fore the war. 1t was during Mayor
|Garretson's administration. and, If We
mistake not, it was the first request
from any municipality to be filed with
the commission. Yet, for some reason
not explained, Perth Amboy has been
ignored.
Repeated efforts to get some de-
cision from the utility commission,
either favorable or unfavorable. have
been of no avail. Just why this
should be so we do not know.
Aside from Paterson and Passaic we
do not know of any place in the
state where the grade crossings are
more dangerous than they are at
Perth Amboy. At Asbury Park, for
instance the danger is not nearly so
many trains in summer n vast
crowds OF people, all the trains at
least stop there. At Perth Amboy,
on the other hand, these same trains
that stop at Asbury Park go thunder
ing through at express rate. Then,
again, practically all of the business
of Asbury Park is done on the east
side of the track. at least a. far as the
summer crowds are concerned. The
travel back n forth across the
tracks Is not nearly as great at any
time of the year as 1t is at Perth AM
hoy where the railroad runs through
1.-THE center of the city.
As for the new station both places
are In about the same boat excepting
that Asbury Park does have more
shed room outside the station proper
so that passengers have some pro-
lection from the weather while wait
ing for trains. At Perth Amboy the
waiting room. especially the one
designated for men. is crowded beyond
all signs of decency, is dirty and foul
smelling and utterly UNIT for use
yet in stormy weather it is practically
the only shelter offered.
But we do not begrudge AsburS
Park her good fortune in having the
Public Utility Commission take UP hei
claim for track elevation. Any stel
along this line is TO be encouraged. 1
means that sooner or later Perth Am
boy is going to be reached, although
it is hard to understand why thi'
city should be ignored SO long whei
lit was the first to file its appeal.
