Applying such test to the local
Young Women's Christian association,
every one must admit that il Is not
only of the very greatest service to the
young women of this city but being
such is entitled to the help and sup
port of every citizen of Topeka.
To my own personal knowledge the
association is doing an exceptionally
good work for young girls who come
to the city strangers and who, having
no place to go and having no friends
to help them, find pleasant home
and warm friends to advise, encourage
and mother them. Also coming
within my own personal observation is
the magnificent work of the associa-
ton for girls of the grade and high
school ages, and also young employed
girls such work consisting of various
educational. social and recreative priv
ileses especially adapted for their re-
spective ages which give them genu-
inc pleasure for the time and equip
them for useful and wholesome wo-
manhood in the future. The manage
ment of the institution is exceedingly
good and the officers are justly en-
titled to considerable credit.
The moderate fees charged for the
service given to worthy girls of linn
tied means provides sufficient money
to cover 81 per cent of the association
| expenses, while the balance must come
from outside sources. [ understand
that the people OF Topeka will soor
1 have an opportunity to get behind thi:
good work. SO that these privileges
may be continued to be given to tht
girls who need them most
\ In this connection l desire to ado
my hearty recommendation to thu
work being done by the Y W. c. A
and believe that the people of this cit!
/ are indeed fortunate in enjoying th'
benefits of such an institution. There
fore. | am genuinely pleased to com
mend the association in all of it's de
partments to the generous and publi'
| spirited people of this city.

position Votes Lined Up.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
may vote today on ratification of the
peace treaty with reservations.
Leaders expected to "get down to
brass tacks' on the reservation of Ar
ticle X. When the Lodge reservation
to this article or some substitute for
luton of ratification, the way will
have been cleared for the vote.
Decision was to be reached today on
whether the compromise reservation
on Article X, worked out by Senators
Simmons and Watson. would be Of
abandoned.
Situation Is Confused.
With senators on both sides of the
the plans of their party leaders in
their desire to reach a compromise on
the much disputed Article Y, the sit
uation today appeared hopelessly con-
fused
Tacit agreement was reached to
forego a vote until something like
order was restored in the conflicting
negotiations. Reservation Republi-
cans and Reservation Democrats have
Joined forces against irreconcilable
foes of the treaty who have gone gun
ming for the compromise reservation
to Article Ten which was to have been
presented in the senate yesterday but
which their opposition forestalled.
The split in the Democratic ranks
has widened as a result of determine
tion expressed by some members of
the minority to give active support
toward acceptance of the best compro-
mise possible. Republicans claim
that 80 Democratic votes can be mus
tered for the substitute reservation to
Article Ten.

Federal Judge Hands Down Decision
in Red River OIL Controversy.


Enid. Okla, March 11.-Oklahoma
won the first skirnish in the famous
Red river boundary dispute when
Judge Frank a. Youmans late yester-
day handed down a decision in favor
of the Judsonia Developing company,
an Oklahoma concern.
The judge issued an order for the
United States marshal to serve on the
Texans holding the Judsonia property,
forbidding them from keeping posses
sion.
In making the decision, Judge You
mans declared that the south bank Of
the river and not the center of the
stream Is the boundary line. This sup
ports Oklahoma's contention and If the
supreme court of the United States in
the suit filed by Oklahoma before that
body, supports the lower courts de-
cision. property valued at from $780,
0OO,O 900 to $3OO,0oO.0O0 will fall to
Oklahoma.
The suit in which Judge Youmans
handed down his decision in federal
court was an application in the part of
the Judsonia company for an injunc-
ton against Sam Parks and other
Texas men restraining them from
keeping possession of the company S
