The Presidents letter definitely dis
posed of the plan to have Senator Sim
mons and possibly other Democrats 90
to the White House To discuss the COM
promise with the Pres ideht. Though it was
. response to Senator Hitchcock $ suggcs-
ton that Senator Simmons receive an
appointment for visit the latter did not
refer to this. It commissioned Senator
hitchcock, however, to convey the Prcsi-
dents view to the zone or two Demo-
Gratis who he understood wanted to know
his views.
The immediate effect OF the letter, as
reflected in comment based upon the mcst
casual reading OF it, was to confirm Sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber in the
belief that the gulf between tho Pres-
dent and Senator Lodge is unbridgeable; ;
that the political arena must be the scene
of the final decision upon the question of
American participation in the League of
Nations, and that the President desires
that decision to be rendered upon the clear
cut issue of unqualified ratification or no
ratification.
ATTACKS FRANCE" LODGE SAYS.
The passages which most challenged
the attention of Senators were the refer
ences to the imperialists and mlitarists
of France, the Jumping of 'nu!lifiers and
mild nullifiers" under one head, and the
viewpoint that if the United States re-
iects Article X we will have gotten moth
ing out of the war but regrets thai we
ever went in.
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader,
said that "there are some delightful pas
sages in it, particularly the ono in which
he attacks France. But I'm not going to
make any statement tonight"
Mr.. Lodge said he did not know whether
the latter would make any difference in
the Senate treaty contest
Senator Hitchcock said that in his
opinion the letter would not change the
situation. He commented:
''The President declares there is no diff
ference between having no League and an
attempt to nullify the Leaguewith reserva-
tions. II is better, he says. for US to- stay
ont gracefully than 10 go in disgrace
fully"
Mr.. Hitchcock added that there had
never been the remotest possibility that
enough Dem ocrats would vote for the
Lodge reservation on Article Y, or for
one which, like it. denies any and all
obligations under the article. to bring
about ratification.
"Do you think the Presidents letter
rejects the Taft and the bipartisan CON
ference reservations on Article N?" Sena-
Tor Hitchcock was asked.

Making Merry

Do You Use Them IL Not. Why

To sit back after a good meal and
know there is not going to be sour risinEs
gas. drowsiness and discomfort IS the
logical result of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Immediately after eating Most
people believe they can trace each attack
OF indigestion TO the something they ate
and can still 'taste" And it surprises
them, invariably, to note how quickly re-
lief comes after using one or two of these
tablets. Whether it IL highly-seasoned
food, rich pastry, the heavy hearty foods
or some one particular offender the relief
comes just the same. Those who are
susceptible to attacks Of indigestion or
dyspepsia should try Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets as they supply the stomach with
an alkaline effect just as it does naturally
when it is working in perfectly healthy
condition.

DEMOCRATS SEE WAY OPEN
STILL FOR COMPROMISE

Washington, March o. Democratic
Senators were quick to see yeste rday that
the President did not advise them TO vote
against ratification Of the treaty az he did
last November, nor promise TO put the
treaty in White House pgeonhnle IL it
were ratified with more than interpretive
reservations.
In that respect they contrasied the
letter with his letter to the November
Democratic caucus, when he suggested
that the treaty with the Republican
reservations be voted down.
II was also pointed out on the Demo-
cratic side that MIR. Wilson did not enter
his objection on any specific form of
reservation. and from this hope was re-
vived in &c me quarters that he would take
urder protest such ccmrromise as is
under negotiation.

Religious Need of To-day.

AT the Unitarian church in ELS
worth. Rev. G. T. Jones, the pastor, is
delivering series of three sermons
on the religious need of our churches,
largely on the line of thought
brought out at the Harvard summer
school of theology which Mr.. Jones
attended this year.
I'VE need to-day" said Mr.. Jones,
in the first of these sermons on
September 10, "a conception of God
that will command the mind and
heart of the people. Through our
knowledge of the beauty and wonder
of nature that God has created, and
of the forces of love and righteous
ness in human nature, the concep-
lions of world that belonged to the
prince of darkness and of a lost man.
kind are no longer preached and no
longer effective. Consequently we
need new conception of God in
harmony with our knowledge and
judgment of nature and human
nature, that will give to the pulpit an
effective message, and the people
such a vision of God, uplifting to the
mind and quickening to the heart
that it will be considered an honor
and something precious to go to
church."
Last Sunday Mr.. Jones spoke OF
two courses at the summer school
that bore directly upon this inquiry
1.-THE New Testament and Historical
Christianity" and Present Theologi-
cal Tendencies" THE first course, -
he said, took up an examination OF
the source and of the significance OF
the terms, Christ and Lord when
applied to Jesus. The conclusion
was that the word Christ annoint-
ing, from the time of Jesus back in
Jewish history, was used in so many
ways that it could mean almost any
thing; that the term Lord came
from the Greeks, and out of a
heather conception; that each was
out of past civilization and inter-
probation of life that was so different
from ours that these words have no
true application to-day, and that they
are used to-day, separated or changed
from their original meaning, as
authority to sanction present views

Lifetime in Weaving a Shawl.

The Metropolitan museum of New
York has a rare Persian shawl said to
be 165 years old. The shawl is II feet
by feet, worked in long flowing de-
signs of the palm leaf and the River
of Life, with the stories of the
mosques. The predomInatlng colors
are mellowed garnets and brown. with
alternating sheens of steel gray and
rusty brown. An expert to whom the
shawl was shown said its makeup prob
ably represented the lifetime of the
weavers.

BurrItt's Remarkable Record.

Learned Blacksmith" was the cpl
tibet bestowed upon Elihu Burritt, the
American reformer, author and lin
gulst. who lived from 1910 to 1879.
He began his career as blacksmith
about 1927. and worked at that trade
for many years, during which time he
made himself proficient in numerous
ancient and modern languages. Ac-
cording to Mathews Getting On in
the World" Elihu Burritt acquired a
mastery of IS languages and % dia-
lects, mot by rare genius, which he
dlsclaimed, but by improving the bits
and fragments of time which he could
steal from his occupation as black
smith,"
