BITTER FIGHT
is NOW in SIGHT
Democrats In Congress Stead
fast In Their Opposition To
Separate Peace.

Washington, Sept. Ratification
by the Senate Of the new treaty of
peace with Germany is not likely to
be the tanned and peaceable affair
which seemed probable month ago
when the terms Of the pact were first
made public. 1t was said today that
President Harding would ask early
ratification.
Some opposition has developed to-
wards the treaty. 1t is improbable
that the opposition will be able to
do anything more than delay ratifi-
cation but unless present signs are
wrong, it will be strong enough to
make considerable noise. Indica-
tions are that there will be much
debate, in which every phase of the
international situation will come in
for discussion.
When the treaty was first publish
ed it was understood to be acceptable
to the "irreconcilables" and even the
Democratic Senators who stood by
President Wilson and the league of
nations to the last ditch appeared to
be friendly to the pact. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska was thought
to be voicing the sentiment of the
Democrats when he declared he saw
no reason for not ratifyir4. the treaty.
More careful study of the treaty,
however, has convinced several of the
"irreconcilables' group on the Repub-
lican side that the treaty will involve
the United States in European dis
putes. They fear that ratification by
the Senate will enable President Hard
ing to appoint official American rep
resentatives on many of the interna-
tional commissions set up by the
treaty of Versailles and they contend
that this inevitably will lead the
United States Unto serious entangle7.
ments" abroad.
On the other hand, some of the
Democrats are planning to fight the
treaty on the ground that it does not
"entangle" enough. They are rails
ing again their old slogan of mo
separate peace with Germany" Their
contention is as it was during the
fight over the Knox resolution, that
such peace would be dishonorable.
With the prospect Of considerable
debate ahead, there. was speculation
in some quarters over what course
the administration would pursue. The
presidents plan has been to submit
the treaty to the Senate Immediately
upon the re-convening of Congress. 1t
was pointed out that spirited con-
troversy raging in the Senate over
the treaty while the armament limi-
tation conference is in progress might
be a source of some embarrassment
to the administration.
Whether the administration will re-
gard the opposition as sufficiently
formidable to require revision of its
plans with regard to the submission
Of the treaty remains to be seen.

George Judson, camp cook, recently en-
countered a huge bear that had just escaped from
its owner at Bogue Chitto. and by rare presence
of mind, and mouthful of tobacco juice, escap-
ed being hugged to death by squirting the juice
into Bruins eyes Judson was taking a near cut
back to his camp, and, coming upon the bear un-
eXpectedly, was unable to escape. He was not
armed, and started to run, but Bruin was too
quick for him. The bear put his feet about Jud-
sons body and gave him one good embrace Jud-
son awaited his chance and when the bear tried
to kiss" him, spat the mOuthful of tobacco into
his eyes Instantly the bear let loose of Judson
and beat hasty retreat But the men of Colum-
bus need not go around with their mouths full Of
tobacco juice; there are no bears here

THIS CITY MAY NOT
 NEED SOUP KITCHENS
Passage of Bonds May Avoid Need of Free Meals

While unofficial figures, based on the report that several local indus tries have laid off upwards of 1000 men during the past week, put the number of the city's unemployed at close to 5000. the passage of, the street and sewer bonds by the city m meeting board last night is expected to give employment to. enough men as to eliminate the possible need of opening soup kitchens in the city this fall.
 A statement recently issued by Mayor Curtis on the unemployment question, said the need of soup kitch- ems this fall was becoming more and more apparent as time went on. At the city labor bureau this morning | it was stated that there are 2,O00 unemployed men registered who are the heads of families in urgent need and who have been driven to the city l by the most dire necessity.
 An unfortunate feature of the un-
 employment situation is the fact thai a great many of these 1000 men
 are men who are not capable of doing hard work of the pick and shove
 variety, the only kind the city has
 to offer. Many are men who have
 been laid off of clerical jobs, or whc
 have been connected with hotels
 or other business enterprises. l Most of the men have the same
 story to tell and investigation has
 shown it to be true in a majority
 cf cases. They say they are out o1
 money, the grocer is refusing credit
 the wife and babies are hungry, the
 children are without shoes, the ren, unpaid and the landlord threatens eviction. It was stated at the City
 Hall this morning that it is either g
 case of getting at least half-time
 work for the men, or opening sour kitchens.
