NEITHER SIDE WILL
 BREAK TREATY ICE
Waiting Attitude Again Comes to the Fore. e.-Officials Declare Compromise Outlook is H0pe- full.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Efforts to break the peace treaty deadlock in the Senate were renewed today as mem bers of both parties began returning from their holiday trips preparatory to the reconvning Monday of Congress.
 The only surface developments to indicate the trend of the negotiations were a number of conferences in which both Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, the Republican leader, and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, act- ing leader of the Democrats, were prominent figures, though they did not see on another. All of the conferences declined to go into details, but they gave an impression of hopefulness that the days work had advanced the situation toward an agreement.
 Who should make the first open move for a compromise, however, con- tinued to be warmly debated ques- tion, each side apparently maneuver- ing while the negotiations went on under the surface, to force the other side to be the first to break from it's former position. Senator Lodge still maintained that any compromise move should come from the Democrats and Senator Hitchcock insisted that the initiative should be taken by the Re- politicians.
 Meantime both sides were actively at work on proposals they hoped to use once the wheels of compromise fromally were set in motion and were feeling out sentiment on the opposite side of the party fence in preparation for the break, which would bring the whole situation to head.
 Article 10 continued the crux of all of the discussions, neither side having found much favor for it's roundabout proposals on the subject. Next in prominence was the question of voting power in the league of nations, with the Democrats apparently determined to made some modification in the res ervation adopted at the last session by the Republican majority. There were few other points of difference but the general impression seemed to be that an agreement on article ten would about end the whole contro- versy.
 In declaring formal compromise of fers must come from the Democrats, the Republican leaders reiterated that enough senators to defeat ratification

MERCHANT MARINE IS PUT ON FOR SALE
Government to Dispose of Great Steamships. Shipping Board Specifies That Only American Bids Will Be Accepted.

Washington, Jan. Thirty-four former German passenger ships seized when the United States entered the war, including the Leviathan, the largest vessel afloat, the Agammem- non, the George Washington and oth- CTS which were tn pride of the Ger man merchant marine, were offered for sale today by the shipping board.
 The proposals for the purchase of the vessels, which may be filed up to Jan. 20, will be received only from American buyers and must include q pledge to use the ships on lines des- ignated by the shipping board.
 Decision of the board to offer the former German liners for sale was de- termined principally by the cost of reconditioning them for passenger service, Chairman Payne said in an- nouncing that the vessels were for sale. Many of the vessels were used by the War Department as transports both before and after the armistice, and the cost of refitting them for passenger service has been estimated by shipping board officials at approx imately $50,00O,OO0.
 By restricting the sale of the ships to American interests and to perma- nent service on designated lines, the board expects to accomplish the es- tablishment of it's proposed passenger service programme to all parts of the world along the same lines that would have been followed had the board itself put the liners into service.
 The vessels of the first-class pas enger type offered for sale are: Le- viathan, Agammemnon, Mt. Vernon, Won Steuben, George Washington, Martha Washington (Austrian), Am erica, DeKalb, Aeolus, Huron, Princess Matoika, Pocahontas, Callao, Mocca- sin, Black Arrow, and Otsego. Four teen others of the intermediate type, adapted for steerage and cargo, in cluding the President Grant, Anti gonne, Mercury, and Amphion, also are offered to buyers.
 The ships are to be turned over to the successful bidders upon payment of 25 percent of the purchase price and satisfactory fulfillment of other terms of sale. Such of the vessels as are not sold at this time will be used by the board in passenger service un- til the whole of the governmnt fleet has passed into private hands.

REDS ARE JAILED
 BY GOVERNMENT
Hundreds of Communists Are Caught in 38 Cities.-Activi- ties Among Negroes One Cause for Cleanup.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Launching a concerted and carefully prepared movement against communist and communist labor groups of radicals, agents of the Department of Justice tonight conducted raids in 33 cities, extending from coast to coast. Four thousand warrants were issued.
 Raids were conducted in the follow ing cities: New York, Baltimore, Bos- ton, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Den yer, Des Moines, Detroit, Grand Rap ids, Hartford, Indianapolis, Jackson vile, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Mil waukee, Louisville, Newark, Omaha, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland Me, Portland, Ore, Providence, San Francisco Scranton, Spokane, St. Louis, Springfield, Mass, Syracuse, Toledo, and Trenton.
 The object of the raids, Assistant Attorney General Garvin said, was to obtain for submission to the Depart ment of Labor cases for deportation of livery large number Of our most dangerous anarchists and radical az itators." Agents of the department, he added, went out prepared to catch the radicals "with the goods" on.
 The general charge of attempting to overthrow the government by force and violence was placed against the persons arrested during the radis. Of ficials declared they believed that several hundred members of the com munist ana, communist labor parties would be behind the bars before morning.
 Officials here declared the nation wide roundup was the most complete ly planned and the machinery was the best oiled for this of any raids yet launched against the radical element in this country. It was arranged some 10 days ago that the raids should take place tonight, and confidential com munications were sent to Department of Justice representatives and United States attorneys in the 33 cities.
 Department of Justice agents de- sired most of all to capture incrimi- hating documents, not so much of the literature and propaganda, but papers showing details of the communist or ganizations in each city. It was in- dicated that if such evidence were ob- taind, deportation of the persons con cerned would be an easy matter. As in the case of the members of the Union of Russian Workers, several score of whom were aboard the trans port Buford, which sailed from New York ten days ago, membership cards in the organization were regarded by officials as constituting the best doc umentary evidence on which to base cases.
 Officials said the only difference be- tween the communist party and the communist labor party was one of leadership Both have been endeav-

bring to bring about the establishment of soviet form of government in this country since their organization last September, according to officials.
 Documents gathered by federal agents recently show conclusively, it was said, that plans were drawn up by the leaders of each of these parties to develop score or more of soviets throughout the country. These were to be merged under a soviet council similar to that which now exists in Russia, according to MT. Garvin.

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

WHAT WERE THEY TALKING
1 sat on bench in the shadowy
park
As the twilight was slowly dissolv-
ing in dark,
And listened a while with envious
sigh
To the low murmured talk Of a
couple near by.
From the trees overhead came the
chirp OF the birds
That drowned, for the moment.
their half-whispered words.
And then Of a sudden the twittering-
ceased
And found they were talking Of
raisins and yeast.
Raisins and yeast was the whole OF
their song.
And the wretches discussed EN- the
whole evening long.
I sat in club. where a Judge OF the
sort
That wears a bald head and pre-
sides at a court.
Was earnestly talking to some one
saw
Was also a person who gave out the
law
The conflab grew warm. the speech
es grew Ioud.
one Judge was indignant, the other
was cowed
I fancied him caught in some SER
ious fault
Till ! found they were talking Of
sugar and malt.
Sugar and malt ives the whole Of
their chat,
And twas plain that they both had
the subject down pat
sat on the port OF a summer hotel
While the sea Tapped the beach with
a low moaning swell.
And two dear old ladies upon 2
divan
Were talking az elderly dowagers
can
Each over her knitting bowed down
her white head
And 10 wasn't my fault that l heard
what they said
AS they knitted and nibbled az pep
permint drops.
For the theme OF discussion was
syrup OF hops.
syrup Of hops was the whole Of
their talk.
So 1 rose from my rocker and we,t
