REPUBLICANS OPPOSE
GERMAN PEACE TREATY

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-CU. P)
The republican senatorial ranks are
developing opposition to the Harding
peace treaty with Germany. Many
believe the pact entangles the United
States in European affairs almost as
much as the League of Nations COW
enant. Criticism is almost universal,
but is not expressed publicly.
The Senators have been STUDYING
the treaty for several weeks. Most of
them agree that the treaty ties the
United States to the Versailles treaty
as surely as though the senate had
ratified that instrument, No republi-
can senator. of whatever moderation
of progress'veness. is willing TO state
his opposition publicly Democratic
opposition to the ratification is eS-
pected as maater of course.

De ce a noaStra marca tine
Recordu' n &c priveste fncul,
De ce fost peste tot locul
lntaia lntre similarc,
Noiu spune rezultatul care
La dat eXperienta noastra,
S'apreciati 81 dumneavoastra:
La fel, cocosul viu am luat
ST dupa ce | am Incuiat,
Am supus cassa unui foe
Neintrcrnpt ri de loc,
Am asteptat alta ri,
Bine de tot ase raci
ST.. culmea Cand am descuiat
Cocosul era... inghetat
