Spencer Quotes From
Records Peace Conference

81. Louis, Mo-, Oct. J-Senator
Spencer late today replied to Presi-
dent Wilson's denals that he mad
promised American military assistance
to Rumania and Serbia in event of in
vasion of those countries. The Pres
ident's denial was provoked by a re-
cent address OF Mr.. Spencer in which
the senator. in effect, declared the
President had made such promise
Spencers reply in part follows:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of
your telegram of October ) in which
you deny that you promised American
military aid to Rumanians and Serbs
and that previous denial which Mr.. j.
P. Tumulty had made was at your re-
quest. The statement of yours to
which I have often referred in my ad-
dresses was the statement in the
stenographic notes of the eighth pie
nary session of the peace confidence
in which you are reported to have adj
dressed Premier sratianu of Ruma-
MIA as follows:
You must not forget that it is
force that is the final guaranty of the
public peace. If the world is again
troubled the United States will send
to this side of the ocean their army
and their fleets
The statement was made upon the
floor of the Senate on February ., 1920.
by Senator Reed and so far as | have
learned. has never been denied until
now. 1t has been widely circulated
over, the United States. If you did
not make that statement to Premier
Bratianu / should be much indebted
if you will be good enough to inform
me-"
Senator Spencer's reply pointed out
that recent issue of national pub
llcation attributed the statement to

Last Resort of Locked Out" Son.in
Law Only Served to Make Matters
Worse.
His mother-in-law is deaf, thick o.
hearin as they said in the old days.
Mother-in-law went to the movie
the other evening and, before leaving
the house, requested that if the other
members Of the household went out
the key be left in the mail box The
others did go out and the key was
left in the designated place. When
they returned the key was missing.
Mother-in-law had locked the door
and carried the key inside. She was
seen sitting near an upstairs window,
reading. The doorbell was rung until
it ran down. The telephone did not
reach her ears. Those left out in the
cold, cold world were in despair. The
neighborhood had been aroused by
the noise made in attempting to
make mother in-law's defective hear
ing take spark. She read peacefully
on.
Finally Mr.. Son-in-law had a happy
thought. He would try strategy. He
turned the hose on her window.
Mother-in-law thought it was rain
ing, got up and closed all the upstairs
windows and went back to her book.
Strategy had not only failed, but had
frightened the barrier of sound.
1t was not learned just how those
outside got inside. - INDIANAPOLIS

Women's Golf Play
on Pittsburgh Links

Cleveland, Oct. 5.-Mrs. J. v. Hurd,
former English champion and Miss
Sarah Fownes, a fellow Pittsburgher
furnished the feature match of to-
days play in the twenty fifth annual
women's golf championship tourna-
ment. Mrs. Hurd being the winner.
one up in 20 holes. The two stars
were all even at the end of the 18th
hole and when they drove off from
No. l tee for the second time, they
had a large gallery following them.
After the 18th hole was halved in
six Miss Fownes had the honor of the
twentieth tee and got OFF a beautiful
drive.
Mrs. Hurd's drive was not high
enough and was halted by the sharp
rise which faces the tee. Mrs. Hurd
got a fine brassie shot and sent her
ball to within about 25-yards of the
green. Miss Fownes played it safe
with an iron approaching to within
about thirty yards.
The green on this hole is on a
plateu guarded by several sand pits.
On her third, Mrs. Hurd made the
prettiest shot of the day. Taking a
chance, she called for a spoon and
lifted her ball onto the green. on a
line for the pin and about 25-feet
beyond the cup. Miss Fowne's third
shot cost her the match, her approach
being short and her ball came to a
stop in one of the sand pits. She
made a great bid to halve the hole
when she got out on the green, about
1S-feet from the pin on her fourth.
Mrs. Hurd was very close on her
putt and it was up to Miss Fownes to
hole a long one to halve it. She failed
and lost the match.
