MARCH
Chairman

The uncertain days of March are
here, wild winds from all points of the
COMPASS as tickle as the average wo-
mans love, rain and snow, sunshine
and cloud, all seasons of the year ex-
emplified in the cycle of day. Off
goes your overcoat, but before you
have walked block a whistling wind
from regions of ice tweaks your nose,
pinches your ears, sehds a chill down
your spinal column that makes you
wish the Fourth of July was only one
night away. Guard against these de-
ceptive days. Beware of the ldes OF
March, they have tsfsxsbut not gone
Their uncertain changes will kindie
the fires Of fever in your veins.

from ''f1amed MAPLE" very fine
piece of this rare old wood having
been given him by the firm of K.
Height and company, large violin
makers of Brooklyn. n. Y, as a token
of appreciation of his excellent work.
The Young member Of this firm was
a member of the Twenty-seventh di-
vision and was stationed in Camp
Wadsworth for several months and
was frequent visitor in Dr.. Hall
mans home. The top board of the
violin is made from piece OF wood
known to be 125 years old. and this,
! DR.. Hallman says, proves to him that
the age of the wood rather than the
age of the instrument itself is the
real secret of the tonal power and
sweetness of historic old violins.
Some of the musicians of Spartanburg
who have played on the violin which
DR.. Hallman has completed say it is
an instrument OF unuSual merit ana
of remarkable sweetness and power,
and they predict that it will live IN
history.
In addition to his violin work DR..
Hallman delights in any kind of skill
ed wood work. He has hundreds of
tools in his little shop, most of which
he made or designed himself, and
when he is not engaged in his study
or in his pastoral calls he can usually
! be found in his shop working with his
hands. He would have been great
artisan if he had not entered the
ministry, his friends say. He does
not look upon his manual labor as
work at all, but as rest and recrea-
ton, and he says it keeps him young
and fit for his real work.

CONGRESS MAY FIND
NEW ROUTE TO PEACE
Gulf Between Senators Grows
Wider-Treaty May Go to
Voters.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Possibility
of the introduction in Congress of a
Joint or concurrent resolution declar-
| ing the war with Germany at an end
loomed tonight, following sharp
/ break in the compromise conferences
which have been trying to adjust dis
agreements between Republican and
Democratic Senators as to the word
inc of the Lodge reservations.
The assertion of President Wilson
that he was willing to submit the
question of the adoption of the peace
treaty with the league of nations
covenant to a vote of the people,
which has been approved by Senator
Johnson, of California, and other
political opponents of the administra-
ton, has led some Senators to believe
that this may perhaps be the best
solution of the treaty controversy.
To Renew Trade Relations.
In the meantime, it is pointed out,
something should be done to stabilize
trade relations while the treaty issue
is still undecided and a resolution de-
claring the war at an end is one rem
edy which has been considered by
both sides in the controversy.
Open rupture today Of the leaders
conferences was averted temporarily
at least, by passing over the dispute
Of the Lodge reservation regarding
equality of voting in the league Of
nations. The bipartisan conference
will meet again late tomorrow, but
with leaders of botn factions douby-
full as to the possibility IF ultimate
agreement.
Mild Group Impatient.
Prospects of failure of the leaders
conferences and of formal suspen-
sion of their sessions today moved
"mild reservation" Republicans and a
few Democrats, not members Of the
leaders committees, to discuss inde-
pendent steps toward a solution of
the treaty situation. One mild res
ervation" Republican spokesman said
such a move would be forthcoming if
conferences of the leaders fail within
few days to give more assurances
of compromise.
Participants in today's conferences
of the informal committees, of which
there were two, said an impasse and
suspension of the compromise move
ment was virtually reached the first
session as result of inability to get
together on the equal voting reserva-
ton to the league of nations cove
nant. After more than two hours
spirited debate the whole subject was
put over.
Report Tentative Agreement.
Better progress, however, was re-
ported at the second session. The pre-
amble to the Lodge reservations re-
quiring formal acceptance by three of
the FIVE principal powers of Ameri-
can reservations was taken up, and
it was said, a tentative agreement
was reached. The proposed compro-
mise on the preamble was said to
provide that if the principal signato-
ries do not file formally objections
to the reservations before their de-
post for exchange of ratifcations,
the American reservations shall be
deemed to have been accepted.
In the leaders dispute over the
equal voting reservation several con-
promise drafts were brought fo"ti.
including drafts by Senators SIM
mons, Democrat, North Carolina, a:!i
Walsh, Democrat, Montana.
