PACT COMPROMISE
SEEMINGLY CLOSE
e oNF ENcE OF BIPARTISAN
SENATORS REVIEWS HOPE OF
EARLY SETTLEMENT
DEMO LEADER NOT CHOSEN
Senators Underwood and Aitchcock
eaoh Poll - Votes at Caucus to
Select Successor 70 Late Leader
Martin Of Virginia

Washington. Jan. 17.-At a biparti-
san ''round table conference OF SEN
ate leaders yesterday formal negotia-
tions toward a compromise on res
ervations to the peace treaty were fn-
augurated. While no agreements
were reached at the meeting, partici-
pated in by four Republicans and five
Democrats prominent in recent In
formal negotiations and which lasted
two hours, another meeting will be
held today and in senate circles there
Is renewed hope Of compromise.
The conference, in which Republi.
can Leader Lodge and Senator Hitch.
cock, administration leader, were the
leaders, followed the unsuccessful at
tempt Of Democratic senators at a
party caucus Thursday to elect lead
er to succeed the late Senator Martin
Of Virginia. After two attempts to
break tie vote of 10 to II on Sena-
tor Hitchcock and Senator Under
wood of Alabama. the two candidates.
the caucus adjourned. subject to the
joint call Of the two senators. An
other caucus is planned after Carter
Glass senator-elect from Virginia and
an Underwood supporter. takes his
seat, but the result still remains III
doubt because of the position of Sem
ator Smith of Georgia. who withheld
his vote Thursday.
Another development yesterday in
the treaty situation was a visit to the
capitol by w. J. Bryan. The former
secretary of state conferred with sew
eral Republican as well as Democrat
ic senators. urging an immediate com
promise on reservations and the rati-
fication of the treaty. He also adj
vocated his plan Of withdrawal Of
Democratic participation in voting on
the treaty if compromise negotiations
should fail. suggesting that the Demo.
ocrats decline to vote and permit the
Republicans to ratify the treaty alone
and accept sole responsibility.
Mr.. Bryan also reiterated that 1t
would be fatal to the Democrats to
share the responsibility of carrying
the treaty into the presidential cleo
tons ana delaying peace II months. OF
TO approve reservations curtailing
power of congress.
After his conferences with sena-
tors. Mr.. Bryan. in a talk with news.
paper men, emphasized his belief that
a large majority of the American peo-
pie desire immediate ratification.
Prompt action, he said. would ac-
complish these two results: First. it
would take the question out of politics
and permit both parties to turn their
attention to important domestic is
sues; second. an agreement would per-
nit ratification by Il larger majority
than in any other way and that would
give the greatest possible weight to
our action and Influence abroad.

No; the Salvation Army has not
gone into the wholesale grocery bust
ness. The picture shows merely one
of the Army's relief stations. 1t is
just like scores Of others scattered
through the cities and towns Of the
country at strategic points where
quick relief can be given in emergency
cases.
Not limited in their stock to grocer
les only, these Salvation Army relief
depots carry clothing, underwear and
other necessaries for men, women and
children. 1t Is the aim to have at
hand for immediate distribution food
and clothing for any kind Of case Of
need. More than 100000 destitute per-
sens were served temporary relief
from these stations last year.

Now that the two great national
parties of the country have made
their nominations for president and
vice president and both seem to be
well satisfied with their selection as
well az with the platforms adopted,
the country is settling down to a
normal campaign basis. The demo-
Gratis. judging FROM the way the
Southern daily papers are playing it
up, have good chance to win, while
we noticed before returning home
from Canada, that the Republicans
through the press Of the North seem
to be equally if not more confident of
their success. Let US hope that
which ever party captures the pres
idency this time, that the country
will be given conduct of national
affairs for the next four years that
will restore it to more of the normal
than at present and to settled safe
and sound basis of business and So
cial life and that the fermented feel
ing OF the present postwar times
will give way to that content ted order
of things which all good americans
cherish and hope for.

The Mississippi Press Association
al its annual meeting at GuIfport 10
May 1920 selected Yazoo City as its
meeting place for 1921 and elected
Ernest Smith of the Greenville Times
for its president. Owing To the de
mands upon the Herald editor in
getting ready for the National Edi-
tors Meeting in Boston, we had to
forego our state association meeting
this time, but were informed by Col.

that the newspaper boys of the old

While away in Canada in June this
editor heard many discussions of the
NEWS PRINT paper shortage as we
visited some of the great paper mills
of that country and as some Of the
newspaper folks OF our party endeav-
ored to make buying connections
with such mills. They had been adj
vised to and are forming buying
corporation to represent the news
paper owners as the miil-owners will
only sell through selling syndicate
except on contract to large daiies.
The Herald readers need not be
alarmed as to our securing paper
supplies. We are with concern
that has not failed us yet though
they have raised the price several
times Bear with us all you can and
pay as prompt as you can and we
will do our best TO continue opera
ting on the dollar year basis only
abandoning it when prices shall have
gone beyond our ability to bread

was able TO guess why unless it
was on account Of the cost OF

The resumption OF exchange rela-
tions is equally welcomed from our
side; in fact the break was not of our
making as the Times was missing
from our exchange table for about
sixty days before we stopped the
Herald going that way and then only
after repeated x marks failed TO pro-
cure any more Times, but this was
an omission we are sure Bro. Sellers
was unconscious of as is often the
case with newspapers in the hand

dale paper is especially interesting
to us as It's published at the county
