Unexpected opposition sprang up to
the ratification of the peace treaties
with Germany, Austria and Hungary,
yer with the senate committee's
reservation providing that Americas
representation on the international
commissions must be decreed by con
gress. The Democrats decided to fight
the pacts to the end, and II was re-
ported hat they were receiving the
active support of former President
Wilson. They prepared a series of
reservations of their own. With the
approval of the President. the Repub-
lican leaders undertook to hurry up
the ratification by means OF night SEES
slons of the senat and Mr.. Lodge,
It was said, told Mr.. Harding that
enough votes were In sight whenever
II came to final action. 1t was stated
that twenty Democrats and three Re
publicans favored fiat rejection of the
treaties. This would o he enough
to block ratification. and besides,
some of them probably would accept
the pacts with reservations designed
to carry GU the idea Of closer par
AiNiBuAiph III bulblihu dluilS.
In the relchstag, also, there was
much opposition to the treaties as
they stand. especially to the acknowl-
edgment by Germany OF its guilt in
starting the war. They hold that the
former kaiser's government. and not
Germany. was responsible for the con-
fiict. What worried Germany more
than treaties last week. however. was
the fact that It was on the brink Of
a tremendous financial panic. Chan
cellor With announced the country
would go bankrupt II II was forced
to pay the next indemnity lnstallment
of a million marks in gold. and the
German money market promptly col
lapsed. The value Of the mark has
fallen To a ridlculously low point. and
for this the financial spectators are
blamed, the press %denouncing them
as Unreasonable hyenas."

Our W strike threat comes in the
railway work. For days the votes of
the rail union members have been
coming in to headquarters, the ques-
ton being whether there shall be a
walkout because of the reduced wages
established by the federal railway
labor board and he working agree
ments and conditions decreed. The
vote of the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already has been counted
and is announced as being 80 per cent
in favor of a strike. The votes Of the
other brotherhoods are being counted,
and IT is taken for granted that they
will solidly support the stand taken
by the trainmen. OF course this does
moi mean that a strike is a certainty,
for the final decision rests with the
brotherhood officials and grievance
committees. Many of the officials are
very reluctant to issue the order that
will tie up the country's transporta-
ton facilities.

COLLEGE STUDENTS OF To-
DAY WIRk HARDER THAN
THOSE OF YESTERDAY

The college student of to-day
has to work harder for his degree
than his father did, according to
the recently issued annual report
of President Lowell of Harvard.
He urges a better appreciation of
high scholarship by the general
public, remarking that those who
gain distinction in their college
studies make, on AM average, more
rapid progress lin late life than do
their less industrious comrades.
"The task of the university for
the immediate FUTURE" he writes,
SHOULD be the perfecting of its
existing departments rather than
branching out into new fields of
work.
$50 far as the minimum work
required for degree is concerned
the Improvement has been marked
In fact, the occasional complaints
from fathers that their sons are
compelled to work too hard are
highly encouraging. They are not
obliged to work too hard, although
they ihIave ITO work harder in col
lege than their fathers did. Such
an Improvement seems to have
been general I'M American colleges
within the last score of years
Judging by the diminution i'm pop
ular books and in articles aIbou'
colleges, of wholesale criticism OF
the ground of the small amount O.
study required of undergraduates
Although there lis still room fo,
Improvement I'M this respect al
Harvard, the progress made hya'

You can hear them in the twilight
When the dusk is purple-deep.

transactions. The title to some 1865
acres of land in this county, owned by
the Frank A. GOtch estate, is cleared
up in supreme court decision just
handed down. The land, which includ-
ed an old lake bed known as Iowa
lake. southeast of Williams, was ORR
ginally acquired by the late Frank
GOtch. famous wrestler, in 1914 and
was taken over in settlement Of money
Gotch had advanced to ID. J. Mcmahon
who held that the deed, although in alb
sOlute form, was mutually intended as
Il mortgage and he later wanted to
redeem the property. GOtch held.
and his contentious were upheld by
the district court in a trial held in this
city, and now by the supreme court,
that there was deed previous to this
che which was mutually intended as a
mortgage but that Mcmahon failed to
reGeem his land under this first agree
ment and the second deed was executed
