Word came today from we'll In.
formed quarter that II this reaction
Is favorable. President Harding has
his mind set on sending the treaty
back TO the senate to ask for its
ratification with reservations. which
would ELIMINATE the league covenant
so far as the United States is con-
cerned and would otherwise protect
American interests along the lines
laid down in the Lodge reservations.
The president is asld to believe

in which the United States can per-
manently end 1t speculiar relation

powers.

congress and pointed out that he
had offered it more than year be-
fore as part Of the resolution call
ing on the peace conference to sepa-
rate the league of nations covenant

Peace Resolution.
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington. April Ex-senator
Knox. today introduced a resolution
providing for the ending OF the state
of war between the United States
and Germany. The resolution was re-
ferred to the foreign relations com
mittee.
The resolution of Senator Knoy
was in the simply declaratory form
which President Harding, in his
message yesterday said that he
would approve and did not touch
upon points that might affect the
foreign policy of the administration
in the future.
Predictions varied among senators
today as to the possibility of the
recommendation OF the president
with reference to the treaty being
handled as outlined.
Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, said he was pleased "to
welcome the president to the fold of
irreconcilables."
Senator Polndexter, republican,
Washington, said the plan for an as
sociation Of nations, still was lin a
nebulous state"
Seantor Kellogg OF Minnesota, a
republican military reservationist'
declared the president would be
able to work out an association of
nations and peace program that
will be satisfactory to ALL
1t was the expressed view of
Senator Moses, republican, New
Hampshire, that the president had
pronounced a. falling benediction
over the dead body of the league"
"As to the suggestion concerning
an association of nations" Senator
Borah continued, 81 cannot discuss
it until | see the framework of it
AS to the Versailles treaty, / under
stand that matter is left open also.
Whether anything can be done with
it or not, whether it can be excised
and changed so that it would be. per-
missable for lis to have anything to
do with it, the president says in ef-
feet, the future is to determine
Naturally we have to await an intel
ligent discussion of that also. can
not imagine myself, the treaty being
put in such shape that it should
be ratified"
Senator Johnson said he had ."no
fear Of an association of nations in
the far distant future or Of the rati-
fication of the treaty Of Versailles"
"The American people are now
aroused he said. "They understand
in the commencement of the propa-
ganda for the league and the treaty
and there never will be anything of
the kind that has been suggested in
the past, either of league or treaty"

TO become effective at 10 o'clock
Friday night
The railway men aud transport
workers, who postponed the strike
which was called for last night,
were driven to action when the
miners refused to consider anything
less than tho, naturalization OF the
mining industry.
Negotiations with The miners
broke down yesterday afternoon
when the leaders of the miners flat
ly rejected the offers of Premier
Lloyd George who offered to ere
ate a national wage board. but re-
fused to consider the pooling of the
profits from the mines.
Following their rejection of the
governments proposals, the miners
attempted to persuade their allies
the railway men and transport
workers to go through with their
strike as planned for midnight Tues
day, but the miners allies refused to
issue a strike call for the time men
toned. because they said, 1t would
have been impossible to notify all
the workers in the country within
the hours left them for this action.
The only government proposal
which miners would consider was
one in which the government offer
ed after the wages question had
been settled, ito give temporary
assistance to mitigate the rapid re-
duclion of wages; the others they
brushed aside, at times with heated
arguments.
The premier met the owners and
miners in separate conferences, then
jointly, but none Of the arguments
of the premier or the mine owners
could move the miners; they stuck
firmly to their demand for alliance
in balloting on whether to enter
the strike. Havelock Wilson, OF
this organization, said the votes SO
far received were about equally
divided against strike. A bare
majority only was necessary.

Lace will always be the fabric for
gowns for dress wear. At least lace
will always stand for luxury, good
taste and fineness in dress. From
ancient times laces have meant love-
ly robes and costly garments. AL
though during the past generation or
two offer fabrics have rather routed
lace from first place. it is not because
the modern machine-made frock is
too poorly made and roughly handled
to use real lace.
Real lace frocks. however, are Just
as valued now as they ever were. They
are making a strong bid for first place
as dinner frocks this Pictured
here is a lovely straight line dinner
frock of black Chantilly lace made
owe a black satin foundation. An in
teresting touch of color is added by
the flaming red poppy at the girdle.
A long waistline and upper arm COW
ering. which is in no way a sleeve, are
notable features of the gown. The
armholes and neckline are bound in
satin.
