HAVE SEVERAL NEW
REASONS TO CHAMPION
THE CAUSE OF PERPET-
UAL PEACE.

THE majority of the newspaper
b correspondents in Washington
are willing to lay odds that President
Harding will soon send the Versailles
treaty back to the senate with an urg-
ont nIea that it be ratified, thus
avoiding the necessity of making a
separate treaty of peace with Ger
many.
All efforts to smoke out the prcsi-
den or the secretary of state as to
tbeir final peace plans have failed.
But it is significant that no Wash
ington official on the inside will deny
that this will be done.
Such irreconciliables senators as
Johnson, Borah, Knox and others will
fight to the last ditch to prevent
ratification even though the league
covenant and other Objectionable
features have been cut out.
But it may be taken for granted
that if and when the president asks
the senate to ratify the treaty, he

SERIOUS FIGHT
INC.O.P. RANKS
IN SENATE NEAR
lnter-Party Split AS Sc
rious AS Former
Looming
BY H. B. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, July Is. - An
inter-party fight, as bitter as that
which split the G. o. P. in 1912, is
developing, in Republican ranks in
the United States senate.
TO date, its quarrels have in the
main been kept under the surface.
But to insiders it seems certain that
an open break is not only inevitable
but near.
Despite the heavy Republican ma
Jorlty, developments may seriously
impede the administrations program
with respect to early enactment of
tariff and revenue bills.
Insurgcnt members Of the senate
contend that too much attention is
being paid to big banking and indus.
trial groups and not enough to the
great mass of primary producers
and ultimate consumers.
The ability of these dissenting Re-
publicans to make trouble was
demonstrated when, by combination
with Southern Democrats, they de
feated their leaders plans for a two
months summer recess.
This recess was proposed primari-
ly to head off Consideration of legis-
lation which the administration de
sires to defeat by indirect rather than
direct methods.
The biggest group among Repub-
licans finding themselves out OF line
with administration views and the
senate leaders program includes the
majority of senators from the mid
west farming states.
The next test of the ability of the
insurgents to upset the admlnistra-
ton apple cart will come in connec-
ton with the Norris bill to establish
government corporation to assist
in exporting farm products.
That bill, it has been decided, is to
be pushed as real gauge of the ad-
mjnistration's willingness to assist
producers. 1t is to be kept to the
fore throughout the whole session, OF
until passed.

"To whom it may concern:
at having been rumored that the
Baptist church of Acworth was used
for the purpose of organizing a Ku

emphatically that it is not true and
there was never any effort made in
Acworth to this end. We asked for
a place to explain the efforts of our
enemies to destroy the Christian re-
ligion and free public schools in
America. We asked at that time for
no one to join US, And said nothing
about memberships. Any person who
insists on lying about our intentions
and purposes will be visited sooner
or later. Baptist churches have been
used all over the United States for
speakers of the order and never be-
fore have we heard any complaint
against, turning the light on
crookedness. The United States
officials from Washington, D. c., eX-

counties how to build roads and how
to efficiently spend money upon
roads. They pointed out the fact that
they had never before known the
correct way in which to construct
roads and were delighted to have the
chance to learn. Many instances
were cited where counties had lost
large sums of money on account OF
not having the correct knowledge of

number of cases where a large

Fortune TelIer's Prediction Caused Crews of Two Vessels to Desert
 the Boats at Quebec.

From time immemorial superstitions of sailors, with few exceptions, have naturally been associated with things of the sea, notably the belief which marks departure from port on Friday as certain omen of bad luck. St. Elmo's fire. the bo'sun fish, whistling for the wind in a calm, the presence of . priest on board ship, all these deal with actual clements of sea life that played great part among such legends. The Flying Dutchman legend was also born of the sea; likewise he ghostly crew coming from the wreck of a sunken ship D haunt the crew of the vessel which cauSed their loss.
 A more annoying variety of super. stiti0n was rev ealed the other day oy the action of the crews of two Amer ican tugs who deserted their boats at Quebec. Before these two boats left Detroit bound for New York fortune teller predicted the doom of one of the boats before 1t finished its vOy- age. This prophecy so worked on the sensibilities of the members of the two crows that they struck on reaching Quebec. Old salts might sniff at such prophecy as this as being of the fresh-water brand and not worthy to be enrolled in the ancient and honor able company of deep-sea superstitions. but the prophecy worked its evil upon the tug owners. The loss of their crews made a real thing of 1t.

Liberalization of Compensation Law Will Cost S35O, 100000 Year.

Washington, July 13.-The Sweet bill, to provide more adequate and ef- ficient relif for disabled veterans, was halted by a new set of hurdles when it reachmed the Senate Finance Committee today with favorable re port from the Shoot subcommittee.
 Some members of the committee ex- pressed astonishment at the probable cost of the bill, which Eenator Shoot predicted, on the basis of official esti- mates, would run close to a half billion dollars annually.
 Although the committee seemed to be unanimous in its desire to afford every facility for the care and treat ment of disabled veterans, there was nevertheless, a disposition to inquire into Section 13, winch is designed to liberalize the present compensation law. Estimates fthe probable in- creased expenditure to carry out the provisions of this section vary, put Senator Shoot thinks it will he close to $35O, 100000 annually.
 Secretary fthe Treasury Mellon, who first called the subcommittee's attention to the section. is scheduled to appear before the whole committee tomorrow. and the members expect to question him closely Heretofore the administration has made no recommen' dation rega arding Section 13, preferrine to leave settlement of the question wholly to Congress
 Advocates fthe bill contend thai the present law is too restrictive in its allowances, particularly in failing tt provide compensation for ex-servict men, who are less than 10 per cent dis abled. The subcommittee allowed Sec ton 13 to stand just as it passed the House. Its fate is now in the hands of the whole committee
