ROTAR|ANS TO HOLD.
CONVENTION HERE
Fifth District Clubs Will Meet
in Washington Beginning
March %, 1922.

The next convention of the fifth
district of the International Asso-
citation of Rotary Clubs will be held
here, according to resolutions adopt
ed yesterday at the organizations eX-
ecutive conference at Baltimore. The
convention will begin March 2S, 1922,
and continue for three days. Edward
L. Stock, district governor, of this
city will preside, and Fred J.. Lin
coin of the local Rotary Club will act
as secretary.
The new program of the Interna-
tional Association of Rotary Clubs
for establishment of code of correct
practice, or business ethics. through
out the world was outlined at the
Baltimore conference yesterday by
Guy Gundaker of Philadelphia. A
new chapter of the organizations his
tory was written when the chairmen
of the standing committee We're
brought to the conference.
Boys Work Discussed.
Boys work also was enlarged upon
by the conference following an ad-
dress by Hugh E. Van de Walker of
Ypslanti. Mich, chairman of the in
ternational committee. ~
Pew men have attempted TO define
correct practices in business" Mr..
Gundaker told the Rotarians. 1T is i'm
ideals. Business men, as rule are
not abstract thinkers. Many business
men of integrity pale when they search
their business and discover methods and
principles that are not countcnanced.
Aim to make correct practices real
tiles instead of dreams, and actualities
instead of aspirations in business and in
the professions. The real function of all
business and professional activity is the
serving of mankind"
Mr.. Van de Walker outlined the inn
provenent that Rotary is taking toward
boys education. and said: Rotary has
its biggest work under way through its
boys work activities.
Enroilments Increase.
Cur records disclose 4 substantial in
crease in enrollments of boys in our high
schools, colleges and other educational
institutions. The District of Columbia,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. Wyoming, New
Jersey. Kansas, Delaware. Connecticut,
Maryland and Maine are making Won
derful show;ngs in this respect. In many
states Rotary clubs are financing boys
through school by advancing them the
money on a personal loan and through
insurance features adopted. The effect
upon our future citizens will be seen
when we consider what it means to in
duce boys to continue through school in
stead of starting TO work after COM
pletng the primary school course

SENATE DESPLACES
ANTI BEER BILL.
Measure Sidetracked Tempo
rariIy for Consideration of
Treaty With Germany.

The anti-beer bill was temporarily
sidetracked in the Senate today when
that body took up for consideration
the treaty of peace with Germany.
Senator Sterling. in charge of the
anti-beer bill. said he would at the
earliest opportunity seek to call up
again the conference report on the
anti-beer measure.
With the peace treaty before the
Senate, and with the taX-revision bill
to be called up Monday, the anti-beer
bill may be delayed for a considerable
time.
No Action Taken.
The Senate had before it the anti
beer bill during an eight-hour session
last night and finally adjourned with
out any action. The opposition was
led by Senator Stanley, democrat
Kentucky. who in speech of six
hours argued for the maintenance of
constitutional safeguards by requir-
ing warrants for search and seizure
under the prohibition enforcement act.
Senator Stanley in his address de-
clared that similar contest was
waged $50 years ago which lighted
the spark of the revolution and gave
birth to the Cepublic.
Advocates of the pending BILL" he
said. think the morals of the COM
munity are worth more than the lib
critics of the people"
Search of homes for evidence" he
added was worse than the Spanish
inquisition.''
Murder Charged.
Il would not be surprised" Senator
Sterling said at this point. "to see the
ardent advocates of this measure call
ing attention to the fact-and it is
true-that Washington, the distiller:
Franklin. the brewer. and Patrick
Henry. the barkeeper or their friends.
were nefariously smuggling contra
band liquor into Boston. They We're
violating the law: there is no ques-
ton about it, 1t was generally yio-
lated"
Senator Watson, democrat. Georgia.
took occasion TO interject that dur
ing the recess of Congress murder
and other outrages had been COM
mitted in his state by prohibition en-
forcement agents. He recited several
alleged cases. among them raid
upon Methodist camp meeting.
where automobiles and other places
were searched for liquor.

two years-that the United States
should not become entangled with the
affairs of Europe.
Others OppOsed.
How many senators will join with
Mr.. Borah in his opposition to the
peace treaty is problematical, Senator
Reed of Missouri and Senator Shields
of Tennessee. both democrats. and
strong opponents of the old Versailles
treaty may join with him, and also
Senator Norris of Nebraska. a repub-
lican irreconcilable. Mr.. Norris, how
ever. is away from Washington seek
ing to regain his health.
On the whole. it is expected the
democrats will support the treaty
when it comes to voting for ratifica-
ton. 1t is likely that efforts will be
made by them to amend the treaty or
the resolution of ratification SO as
definitely to place the United States in
the league of nations. but such ef-
forts of course Will fail.
The republican irreconcilables. out
side of Borah and Norris. are believed
to be pretty well lined up for tie
treaty Senator johnson of California
is supporting it, and also Senators
Knox of Pennsylvania. Moses of New
Hampshire and others.
President for Reservation.
1t was hHo"u
President Harding's administration
would raise no objection to ratifica-
ton of the treaty with Germany with
reservation providing that there
could be no American participation in
the foreign bodies provided under the
Versailles agreement without eX-
pressed authorization by Congress.
AS a member of the Senate Mr..
Harding as one of those who sup
ported similar reservations when the
treaty of Versailles was under con-
sideration.
Senator JOhns0n's Statement.
| Senator Johnson of California last
night made the following statement:
1.-The new German treaty repudiates
absolutely and wholly the league of
nations 1t authorizes us to do as we
see fit regarding the Versailles treaty.
1t expressly absolves us from any
obligation under the Versailles treaty.
The reservation in our resolution of
ratification prohibits, unless Congress
shall authorize it, our participation
in or representation upon any body
or commission created by the Yer
sailleS treaty.
"Thus apparently we have accom-
plished all that we have fought for
since the league of nations was first
proposed, and unless something not
known or foreseen now arises, I
think we can with perfect safety and
while preserving our traditional
policy, ratify the treaty with Ger
many"

larger school was voiced by L. w.
Mattern. chairman of the Greater
Tech committee. We are going to get
new school," he said. because we
absolutely need it, and when the prop
er authorities are fully Informed of
the conditions, then the new building
will come"

pendencc as d preliminary condition
TO conference were never asked by
the Sim Fein. declared Arthur
Griffith. a member of the delegation
chosen at Dublin to confer with
Prime Minister Lloyd George, in an
GORE spendent in Dublin yesterday.
He added that entering the con-
ference without previous guarantees
or conditions would not imply British
reCoenition of the Sim Fein's claims.
Our entrance to conditionless
confidence" he went on, would not
give Ireland any fresh international
status If the conference broke down
ireland would have the same inter-
national position that she holds at
present. Irish republican leaders
have contended they were entitled
TO enter the conference holding their
own opinion, but the mere holding OF
trese opinions would not entitle them
10 anything from any one else.
Neyerthe less. it would be unjust and
highhanded to ask the Sim Fein to
stuItify it's attitude by abandoning
it's standpoint.
The Sim Fein has offered to enter
;hc conference for the purpose Of
fading a solution which would ter
lrinate the quarrel between Ireland
and England. The only thing that
nlsttered would be the final agree
nIent The opinions expressed during
the conference would be merely
-7iniors which would be wiped out

The British foreign Office is con-

general approval with the exception
of what is termed the vagueness of
several, such as those regarding
Siberia and the economic situation in
eastern Siberia. The lack of details
concerning these subjects, however. is
not considered here to be any cause
for criticism of the preparation of the

Signed by Students.

Questionnaires designed to show
how many high school students are
still members of fraternities or sorori-
ties will be distributed throughout the
high and Junior high school system
HcXt week, il was said today by school
authorities. These questionnaires must
