U.s.. WANTS SEAT
IN COMMISSION
PREPARATIONS
Act of Congress to Be- Urged
Allowing Representation,
Lodge Intimates.
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

An act of Congress empowering the
President to appoint an official
American representative on the
Preparations Commission created by
the Versailles treaty is likely to be
urged by the Administration follow
ing ratification Of the German, Aus
trian, and Hungarian peace treaties,
Republican leaders admitted today.
Such an act would be made neces-
sary by the reservation to the treat
les adopted by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee as part Of the
resolution of ratification which
stipulates that the United States
shall not be represented on any COM
mission designed by them without
Congressional authorization.
Lodge Gives Hint.
In opening debate on the treaties
in the Senate yesterday. Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,. the Republi-
can leader, intimated plainly that the
Administration IL considering serious.
ly the necessity Of American repre-
sion.
THE Preparations Commission has
very great powers" Lodge said. 1T
largely controls the tariff and tax
alton Of Germany, and the right to
trade freely with Germany and to en-
ter her markets unrestricted. 1t ex-
ercises very great powers which are
Of vital Importance to the United
States from a trade viewpoint alone,
and 1t may be thought desirable that
we should be represented on the COM
mission where so much Is at stake
affecting our business and economic
prosperity.
II do not think our representation
on the commission would invTlve us in
any obligation in the nature of an
alliance with any one. We would be
represented on the commission to pro.
tect our interests, and the functions
OF the commission, as I understand
them, do not involve. in any event.
the use Of force"
Borah Hits Treaty.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, supported by Senators Reed,
Democrat, OF Missouri and Watson,
Democrat, OF Georgia, contended that
the treaties would not only put the
United States into the Rcrarations
treaty as well. Borah's contention
was that the United States sought to
reserve its rights and privileges under
the Versailles pact by making a con-
tract with Germany, for instance.
when Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan, as the powers in control Of
the Preparations Commission and not
Germany, would "sit in judgment
upon what those rights aid privi-
leges are"
Borah denounced the German
American treaty as tying US up com.
pletely with the Versailles pact" and
both Senators Reed and Watson de.
clared that the treaty looked to them
las though we are heading into the
League of Nations
Lodge announced that withdrawal
of American troops from Germany
would follow ratification of the Ger
man pact. Borah declared that he
thought ut would be unselfish for us
to depend upon exacting our claims
upon Germany through the Repara-
lions Commission by the use Of French
troops on the Rhine alone in the en-
forcement Of the DEGREES and mandates
Of the commission. and the provisions
Of the Versailles treaty"

assistance would be given in areas
where the problem is exceptionally
acute. He expressed himself as be,

: CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Johnny Mega

who lived in the neighborhood OF his
home. He's ten years old. But years
ago they became convinced that he
was different.
u "Hlo, Johnny" they'd call to him
ns he sat on the porch steps Of his
house, staring with pale eyes into
the horizon. But Johnny didn't no

He just kept on staring. The kids

Come on Johnny, let's play run,

sboys would call to him. But Johnny
didn't give them a glance. He never
lspoke to them. Mega was deaf and
dumb and people said he wasn't as
bright as most boys of his age.
!, When the children grew older they
ceased being afraid of Johnny. They
discovered that he wasn't very strong.
They discovered that his disdainful-
ness was really timidty and his ignor-

hearing. Wherefore they began to
i3eer at Johnny Mega when he came
slowly down his street.
Some OF the older boys threw
broomsticks between Johnny's legs;
and everybody howled when he went
sprawling. Even the girls began to
jab him in the ribs.
Tears blurred his eyes. He could
stand 1t no more. Johnny Mega
threw out his arms and struck Wlad-

PRAISE FOR NEW
MARKET ROUTE
DEAN STOCKTON OF VERM1LLION
/, TELLS OF WATERWAY ADvAN-
TAGEs In DULUTH TALK.

vermillion, Oct. 28.-Representing
South Dakota, Dean Frank T. Stock
ton. of the State University, is at
tending the Port Development Con-
ference at Duluth, Mimi, this week.
The meeting is held under the auspi-
ces of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Tidewater Association, which has for
its object the removal of the shoals
in the st. Lawrence, and the bringing
of the Great Lakes cities into direct
shipping contact with Europe without
transfer of cargo.
In his address before the confer
ence Dean Stockton emphasizes the
Importance of this undertaking to the
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota. Mon
tana, and North and South Dakota,
holding that the money saved In
freight would go directly to the pro-
ducer. Especially would this be the
case with wheat, he believed. since
its price is governed by the Liverpool
market, and the cents bushel
saved by the all-water route would GO
back to the farmer.
Much of the dissatisfaction in these
states, he said, was due to the mar
keting problem, there being always
uncertainty about getting crops to
market on time at reasonable cost
The waterway project would do away
with the CONGESTION of trunk line:
in the East and would make the
Northwest independent of railroad
troubles and charges.
| In conclusion he urged the North
western states, to prepare for the all
water route by perfecting local mar
keting machinery and expanding rail
road construction and facilities, which
otherwise will soon prove totally in
adequate to care for the production
of this section.

FIND ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION
SCIENTISTS AND OTHERS IN
SPECT REMAINS PREHISTORIC
ANIMAL FOUND In BLUFFS.

Mobridge, Oct. 2S.-The recent
discovery in the Missouri river bluffs
near here by George w. Shrader, a
rancher, of the remains of a prehis-
toric monster, has attracted wide at
tention, and scientists from different
colleges of South Dakota have visit
ed the scene for the purpose of ex-
amining the remains.
One of those who inspected the
bones thus far unearthed was Rich
ard Franklin Pettigrew, of Sioux
Falls, former United States senator
from South Dakota, who for the occa-
sion represented the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington. While at the
scene he gathered up a large num-
Der of the bones of the monster and
arranged for digging to be prosecuted
into the hillside with view of un-
earthing as many more as possible.
The bones thus far unearthed indi-
cate they are from an animal ap-
preaching the size of the mastodon.
One boxful of the bones was shipped
to the home of Mr.. Pettigrew in Sioux
Falls. He will return later to the
scene of the find in the Missouri river
bluffs. Mr.. Pettigrew has large
and valuable collection of the bones
of prehistoric animals, which he plans
Ultimately to turn over to the state of
South Dakota for preservation for all
time.
The remains of the prehistoric mon
ster found in the Missouri river bluffs
were discovered by Mr.. Schrader fol-
lowing heavy rains, which washed
away the face of a hill to such an
extent that some of the bones were
exposed to view. He dug a number
Of feet into the hillside without as.
sistance and uncovered the bones
thus far found.
The discovery is believed to be OF
| importance from scientific stand
point. Scientists as far east as Ohio
have written Mr.. Shrader in refer
ence to his discovery, and 1T is ex
| pected some of them will visit the
scene of the, discovery, to. ascertain
If the entire skeleton of the prehis-
toric monster cannot be dug from the
hillside and preserved.
