evening voted Tor rallncatlOn VI tne
Anglo Irish Treaty by .401 to So. The
House of Lords also voted for ratifica-
ton by l66 to AZ, but enthusiasm is
regarded as very bad form and the de-
feat of the "diehards" failed to raise
the faintest Of cheers. The final day
of debate was in the nature of an anti
climax, as ratification was always GER
tain. and in the lower house all the
men who really count had already
spoken. There was some interest in
the proceedings in the Lords, for Lord
. Chancellor Birkenhead had been eX-
g pected to turn and rend his old friend
ECarson in revenge for the way in
& which the former Ulster leader attack
) ed him on Wednesday night, but in this
: respect expectations were disappointed,
4 for Lord Birkenhead was in his mild
est mood and could find nothing more
bitter to tell Lord Carson than that he
cannot deprive me of memories in
dissolubly bound up in the past when
we ran common risks both in speech
4 and act" Now all eyes are on dublin,
, which is expected to announce its final
decision tomorrow.
. = Secretary of War Weeks is in
favor Of the mobilization of men,
money and manufactures under con-
scription law in the event OF future
war; Such a course. the war secretary
declared in an address last Friday
night at the second annual reunion OF
the War Industries board, would pre-
clude profiteering and Stacker lists. Il
would conscript every person IN the
United States from is to 60 years OF
age, should future war prevail, SAID
Mr. Weeks, "and would say: You are
to do thus and so, because you can do
onx,thinO alSa YnI
can fight, or you can serve in some
other capacity for which you are best
suited" Secretary Weeks declared
the draft law OF the world war as "one
very great piece of legislation-carried
on almost perfectly" Conscription OF
all men between IS and 60 years of
age, he added, would keep down prices
during war, reduce profteering to a
minimum and prevent wages from
reaching untold heights. Had such
course been followed in the last war he
continued, I'VE would have avoided
difficulties through which we are now
going and with which we are not
through yet"

If it's wrong for Babe Ruth to pick
up a little Christmas spending money
with his trusty bat in the barnstorm-
ing league, then Judge Landis should
be compelled TO quit one of his jobs,
according to Representative Lee, OF
New York Representative Lee Thurs
day introduced bill to force Judge
Landis to quit his baseball job or re-
sign from the Federal bench. The
Federal courts are so congested with
work that congress has just been COM
PEELED to increase by twenty-five the
number of United States judges, sald
Lee. Despite the increasing need or
his undivided attention to the duties
of his judicial office, Judge Lands in
an unparalleled exhibition of contempt
for the lofty traditions Of the bench,
has contracted to devote $42,50 worth
of his time each year to the needs OF
baseball, furnishing thereby an eX-
ample Of improperly, audacity and gall
hitherto unknown in the history of the
country" Representative Lee drafted
his bill at the instigation of state Su-
preme Court Justice Benedict OF
Brooklyn, who has taken the lead in
opposing Judge Landis for his entry
into baseball activities. The bill fof-
bids any Federal judge TO hold any
salaried office other than his judgeship.
