WAITS TREATY ACTION
kAISER'S TRIAL DELAYED BY
FIGHT IN U. S. SENATE.
Government at Washington Asked to
Name Associate Judge-confer-
ences Go On.

WaShinrton, Jan. 1.-THE request
of the governments of the allies that
the United States appoint judge to
sit at the trial of the former kaiser
with judges to be appointed by Great
Britain, France, Italy and Jauan, as
provided by the peace treaty, serves
TO bring again to the fore the retara-
ing of the carrying out of the peace
treaty, due to failure of the United
States to ratify il.
The fact that the treaty names the
United States as participant in the
trial of the former kaiser has made
necessary the request that this gov
eminent name a judge, but the fail
ure to ratify the treaty is said to
make it impossible for this govern
ment to comply at present
Within few days it will be deter
mined whether the combination of
Democrats and Republicans in the
senate will stand together in sufficient
numbers to ratify the treaty. For the
first time since the treaty came to
the senate the Democratic members
are earnestly among themselves upon
reservations. Heretofore the Demo-
Gratis have waited for the president to-
point the way. Progress along this
line has been fairly encouraging in
the last few days and Democratic
leaders hope TO discuss with mild
reservationists as well as with rep
resentatives of the Lodge following
some basis of action.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Favoritism In
the awarding. of distinguished service
medals in the army was charged in the
house by Representative Gallivan of
Massachusetts.
After listening to a vitriolic attack
by him upon General March and other
regular army officers, the house dis
charged the committee on military af-
fairs from consideration of a resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Gallivan recently
and adopted it by vote of 1873 to 123.
The resolution directed the secre-
tary of war to furnish full Information
about awards of distinguished service
medals.
Mr.. Gallivan referred to the distin-
guished service medal as the "desk
service medal"
practically every one of the swivel
chair officers in Washington got the
d. S. NJ" Mr.. Gallivan said. "You
would think the war had been won by
red ink and mahogany desks in the
shadow of the Washington monument
instead of in the Argonne and other
fields of battle"

SAD GOOD-BY TO LOST LANDS
German Government Issues Proclama-
ton to Teuton Inhabitants of Ter
rItories Taken in War.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE government
has issued the following proclamation
to the German inhabitants of the ter
ritories which are being separated
from Germany:
1.-THE unhappy issue of the war has
left us defenseless to the arbitrary
will of an opponent who is imposing
upon us in the name of peace the
heaviest of sacrifices, the first of
which is the remuneration of German
territories in the east, west and north,
without regard to the principles of
self-determination by which hundreds
of thousands of our German country
men are being placed under foreign
domination.
German brothers and sisters, not
only In the hour of farewell. but for
ever, mourning for our loss will fill
our hearts. We vow to you on behalf
of the entire German people that we
win never forget you. You on your
part will not forget our common Ger
man fatherland; of that we are sure. ~

BODY BY VOTE OF 32s TO RE-
FUSES TO SEAT SOCIALIST.

their grief in connection with the
movement to have the bodies brought
home, were presented to the senate by
Senator Thomas (Dem) of Colorado.
4 do not know whether the charge
is true" Senator Thomas declared,
"but it is in line with a number of cir
cumstances that developed since the
close of the war, showing there is
some sort of an organization that is
designed to derive profit from the plan
of returning the bodies"
Senator Thomas had asked that a
letter from New York woman bear
ing on the question be published in the
Record, but on suggestion of Senator
Lodge (Rep) of Massachusetts it was
referred to the military committee.

parents asking for their return. and
later by the introduction of resolu-
ton by Chairman Porter to direct the
president to have the bodies returned.

ONE DRINK FOR EACH
LOTS OF WHISKY LEFT IN PEO-
RIA WAREHOUSES
Would Make Big "Shot" for Every
Person in U. s.-2,ooo,ooo Gallons
Locked Up.

Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 14-It is estimated
that when the United States constitu-
tional prohibition amendment becomes
effective Friday night there will be in
storage in Peoria drink and half of
intoxicating liquor for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
Shipments for export have ceased.
The last special whisky train left
Peoria last Friday for the Atlantic
coast. 1t, like every other special
whisky train that left Peoria, was
heavily guarded by armed men and
travelled under special orders.
When the shipments stopped the Off
Gals estimated that there were approx
mately 100000 gallons of liquor in
bonded warehouses here. Figuring so
drinks to gallon it means a total
of 160,O00,000 drinks still housed in
Peoria. Such a drink would be of the
gentleman's variety and not the old
barrel house Hooker" which runs
about GA to the gallon.
BY the time constitutional prohibit
ton spreads it's wings over the nation
approximately 100000 gallons will
have been exported from Peoria since
the rush began less than a month ago.
Several rush orders have left Peoria
during the past few days by express.
One shipment of 1900 cases, or 5000
gallons, left Peoria Saturday.
Peoria distillers say that the dis
tillery interests of the country are ex-
pecting to ask congress soon to recon-
pense them for the loss occasioned by
the vast amount of intoxicating liquors
they will be unable to sell. A COM
mittee representing them will soon
have a session with officials at Wash
ington.

OPERATORS ACCEPT
WITH RESERVATION
Agree to Wage Award Only for
Duration of War.
FOR LIFE OF LEVER LAW
Decline to Be Party to Fixing Prices
Beyond Period of Effectiveness of
Measure Giving U. S. Con-
troll of Fuel

Washington, Jan. 14.-Mine opera
tors in the central competitive field
told President Wilson's coal commits
sion that they would accept with a
single reservation any award the com
mission might make.
The operators said they would not
be a party to the fixing of coal prices
beyond the period of effectiveness of
the Lever law, the war time measure
under which the government has con-
trolled food and fuel prices. Ralph
Crews, counsel for the central opera
tors, explained that without making
this reservation the operators could
not legally join any price fixing agree
ment. He also said the operators
would not make their acceptance of
the commissions award contingent
upon the preparation of answers to a
series Of questions which the opera
tors on Monday asked the commits
sion.
Basis for Contract.
In accepting the commissions au-
thorization, Mr.. Crews said the op-
orators understood that the commits
sion's award should "of itself consti-
tute a final contract between the
miners and operators for the period of
time fixed by the commission"
Chairman Robinson reminded him
that President Wilson's letter creating
the commission authorized it only to
make an award which might be used
as "a basis for a wage contract" He
asked if the operators would not mod
ify the language in their acceptance
accordingly and Mr.. Crews finally
agreed that the commission should de-
termine that point.
"Basis" of Agreement Only.
"The mine workers understand that
that award shall be a basis of new
wage agreement, and not of itself an
agreement" said John L. Lewis, act
ing president of the mine workers. 81
trust the record is not being made here
which can be used subsequently as a
basis for a refusal by the operators
to write into a wage agreement the
commissions award"
Mr.. Robinson said Mr.. Crews stipu-
lation that the commission should
have power to determine what the pro-
cedure should be had cleared up this
point.
Miners representatives put before
the commission their full demand as
originally made and refused by the
operators before the calling of the coal
strike last November. Mr.. Lewis re-
cited demands for an increase of go
per cent in wages, the six hour work
day and five day week, for the aboli-
ton of double shifts and for the con-
sideration by districts of internal diff
ferences and defended each of them.
"The living conditions and the social
condition of the miners, the environ
ment in which he has been compelled
to raise his family have ever been too
low" he said.
