THE STUMBLING BLOCK

The whole treaty ne8otldtiohos "" said by Senate leaders, were hung up on Article 10 and the Monroe Doctrine, ten- tative agreement having been reached on all other points of difference.
 Some of the republican reservations, it was declared, had been accepted without change by the democrats, while numer- out changes of wording had been made in others, and two of them had been rewritten entirely. It was emphasizeo' however, that the conferees on both sides were acting only in an advisory way ana that their decisions bound no one.
 Differences over the Monroe Doctrine reservation also were said to beof minor magnitude compared to the big stun bling block presented by the obligation of Ar tic1e 10 to help preserve the territolai integrity and political independence or other measures of the League of Natons. The republicans insist that no such oo- ligation has been assumed; the democrats are standing out for an obligation con ditional on the action of Congress in each specific case.
 After today's meeting Senator JIitch- cock made public the reply he had given to the republican ultima tum of yesterday, refusing to compromise on Article 10 or the Monroe Doctrine,
 The reply declared the majority Of the conference previously had assented to compromise draft of reservation unoer which the United States would dechne to assume any obligation "to employ it's military or naval forces or the economic boycott'' under Article 10 unless con gress acted Under the republican reserVA- ton the United States simply would as salme no obligation in regard to other countries without congressional action.
 HITCHCOCK SERVES NOTICE
 Ii was after this reply had been suR- mjtted that Senator Hitchcock gave no- tice that if the negotiations were not continued he would move to take the treaty up immediately in the open Senate.
 The republican conferees replied tna' n noshin~ could be gained by such a move, and that only endless debate would re- suit. In the argument which followed the whole field of discussion or Article ID was reopened and 1t was agred to meet aga'n Thursday.

TREATY COMPROMISE NEGOTIATIONS GET
 NEW LEASE ON LIFE
Reach Agreement After Hours of Wrangling, Dur ing Which Democrats Threaten to Transfer
 Subject to Senate
By Associated prs.,

Washington, January 27.-Peace treaty compromise negotiations, lowering on the verge of dissolution, were given today a new 4S-hour lease on life. But there was nothing in the development which changed the pessimistic view of the Sem ate leaders as to the final outcome.
 The democrats, replying to the repuo- lican refusal to compromise on Article ID and the Monroe Doctrine. charged at stormy session of the bipartisan com promise conference that republican lead CTS had suddenly changed front after most of the conferees had consented to an Article 10 compromise In definite form To this the republicans entered cate gorical denial declaring no one at all had agreed to the proposed compromise draft.
 After two hours of wrangling, during which the democrats threatened to trans fer the whole subject to the open sen ate. the conference agreed to meet agaih Thursday in another effort to bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion. A few senators professed to see some rays of hope in the situation, but to most of the leaders the outlook appeared far from nrouiSinC

FLETCHER RESIGNS AS U.S.AMBASSADOR
 ID MEXICO CITY
Convinced Efforts to Bring Two Governments Into Accord Futile, Gives
 Up Post
sy AssocIat.s Pres,

Washington, January T.-Henry F. Fletcher has resigned as United States ambassador to Mexico, to take effect in the course of the next few weeks.
 Those who know the reason for MT. FFletcher's decision say that he was con vinced that continuation of the efforts he has made during the four years in which he has held this important post to bring the Carranza government into accord with the United States govern ment on the many irritating issues which have arisen, involving the protection Of American lives and property rights, would be futile.
 He terminates IS years of service in the diplomatic branch of the government with great regret and without any par ticular plans for his own future, but feels certain he can no longer be helpful in oultivating proper relations with Mex ico as long as President Carranza re- mains in control there. The ambss- sador's activity in the presentation of the American demands have made it certafn that he could not return to his post with benefit to either government
 NO TASTY DECISION
 Mir. Fletcher,s resignation was not hastily determined upon and in fact Stst summer he sought to terminate his re- lations with the state department. But owing to the state of public business and the illness of some of the higher officials of the department, he was induced to remain in Washington to act as advisor to the secretary in matters relating not only to Mexico but to all Latin-America, for which work he was peculiarly fitted by reason of his long experience in that part of the world
 The state department officials tonight lid not offer any confirmation of the re- sA resignation and Mir. Fletcher him. s H absent from Washington.

creased during the harvest period
when fresh vegetables and fruit will
be more plentiful" the messags says.

ITALY WANTS MORE
SUGAR AND HONEY

Rome. Aug. iO.-Italy is devising
means to alleviate the beet sugar
shortage. She has been urged to put
more bees at work producing honey.
Italy in 1917 had nearly $1,000 miles
of railways and at regular intervals
along the lines are little houses where
the railway employees. signalmen. track
walkers and repairmen live. The man
ager Of the National Institute for
Agrarian Assistance recently recon-
mended that they each be given a hive
of bees. In conformity with the sug-
gestion the experiment is to be begun
at once on the lines in the province of
Rome and. if successful. it will be ex-
tended to all the railways of Italy.

CHARGED
GUIDES Ships
AMBROSE CHANNEL ENTERING
NEW YORK HArSoR is EQUIP
PED WITH THIS LATEST DE-
VICE.

New York, Aug. 10-The principle
of follow the green line!" used sue
eessfully, by the management of New
York's subway system in handling
crowds at congested transfer points
has been adapted in a measure to in
sure safety to ships at sea around
crowded harbors. Instead of a visible
green line" however. a device has
been perfected whereby vessels seek
ing their way into harbor IN thick
weather can follow with safety a sub
merged and energized wire.
In the outer reaches of New York
harbor where deep water meets shoals.
there begins a marine passage way
known as Ambrose channel. This
channel leads through the narrows
into the inner harbor and to the docks
and in this channel the guiding cable
has been laid. Ships properly equip
ped to take advantage of its guiding
powers can follow it through any kind
of weather with the same degree of
assurance as can the passenger who
seeks to make his way from Grand
Central terminal to Times Square.
The device consists of a cable 16
miles long laid in the center of the
channel. 1t is energized with an al
ternatfng current from the shore. Ships
to take advantage of it must be
equipped with audiphones or listening
devices attached to, the hull. APP
preaching the channel the sound
waves emitted by the cable can be
heard for some distance. and the in
creasing or decreasing strength of the
sound FABLES the ship to be steered
until = is right ozer the source. 1t
is then a simple matter to follow its
course through the dredged channel
despite storm or fog which would
make the marking buoys invisible or
would tend to confuse the warning
notes OF automatic bell and whistle
markers.
This cable is but an additional pro-
lection for shipping entering American
ports. 1t supplements the radio COM
pass installed and operated by the
Naval Communications service now in
successful use all along the Atlantic
coast. BY the compass, ships can as
certain their exact position in any
kind of weather. Another protection
recently tried out by the Navy Depart
ment is machine for determining
depth of water and proximity of other
ships through the readings of sounds
from the propellers reflected back
from the bottom or nearby bodies.
