HUGHES ASSAILED
IN SENATE FEUD
FOR TREATY TIES
Charge That Secretary In
vOlved L. 5. in Alliance
Is Made by Group.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-An open
feud between Sec'y of state Hughes
and a number Of republican sena-
tors was I'm the making today.
Angered by Hughes action in
agreeing TO an Interpretation of the
four power Pacific pact which would
include Japan proper in the treaty's
guarantee of territorial integrity, a
number Of senators are talking of
direct attack on the secretary.
The attack on Hughes will be
based upon the charge that he delb-
erately involved the United States in
an "entanGling alliance" in the face
OF the popular verdict against the
League OF Nations covenant a little
more than a year ago. His critics
Will recall TO the country the fact
that they viewed with alarm Hughes
inclusion in the cabinet. Some Of
the irrecOnCilable republicans have
been waiting ever since Hughes took
office for him 10 do something justi-
flying their censure.
The four power treaty IS at least
as bad as the League from the
standpoint Of American traditions.
the irreconcilables say. They de
clare Hughes deliberately tied his
country mp to a pact that means pro-
lection for Japan with no CORES
ponding obligation on Japan 10 pro-
tect the United States
The holiday recess found the
treaty's foes comforting on means of
strengthening the growing senatorial
opposition TO il.

"Oh. my nice choo choo engine

whined Nippy. who had that name
because he used 10 like 20 nip

MY nice Christmas choo choo is

cried Nippy.
He held out a little tin locomotive
engine Il was the kind you wind
up, and It glided along on wheels as
the spring unwound. But as soon as
Uncle Wiggily looked at IL he knew
the spring was broken, and that II
ould never run again.
Cant you fix il for me. Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Nippy.
III try" the bunny answered.
But il was Of no use. The choo choo
engine did not whizz around.
Just then the Mole awakened
from his sleep. He heard what was
said. and being a wise Mole he
knew what TO do.
4 can make that choo choo GO"
he said
"Oh. can you? How?" asked Nip
py. eagerly.
We'll. I am not very big" the
Mole answered. IF you will put
me inside the engine. with my feet
sticking down beneath. so I can get
my strong claws on the ground

on my back. and as I am so small
Will not be seen from the outside it
Will look as If the engine was golng

Say that's a fine idea" laughed
Uncle Wiggily Lets try it,"
Nippy put the Mole inside the tin

front paddle-like claws sticking
down so they touched the floor. Then
the Mole began to walk as he did
when ne dug his tunnels under
ground. And as he walked he car

/ that. even without his eyes. and not
seeing where he Steered the chOO
choo, he did not run into anything.
So Nippy and the Mole had great fun
! playing with the Christmas toy, and
! Nippy even hitched some cars 70 the

back 10 his tunnel. But by that time
Nippy had something else TO play

about his broken choO choo, and

UNCLE

RING TRAIL.
tBY HOWARD h. GARISs
cBY HOWARD H GARIs,

Once upon a time. as Uncle Wig
gily vas hopping through the woods.
he saw the dried leaves rustling as
though some animal was making his
way through them. But the bunny
gentleman could see none
1T can't be a snake" thought
Uncle Wiggily. "A snake is about
the only animal who can make his
way through the dried leaves without
being seen. For a snake can crawl
under the leaves. But this is winter.
and. as snakes don't like cold. they
are curled up in their dens asleep.
So. as Il isn't snake, 1 wonder what
It can be?"
Uncle Wiggily did not have long TO
wait TO find out. He was not very
much afraid. for he knew IL was not
a Fox or Wolf. and il was hardly a
Weasel
Then. out from under the leaves
came a small animal, with beautiful
" thick. smooth fur. with a long
pointed nose. almost like that OF a
mouse, but the front feet of this ami
NAL were shaped like paddles, with
long strong claws sticking out
"Oh, how do you do. Mr.. Ground
Mole?" called Uncle Wiggily, for he
knew now. who the animal was-a
friend OF his. How are your"
mot very we'll" answered the
Mole. looking toward Uncle wiggily,
but not exactly at him. for a Mole
has no eyes. you know, or at least no
eyes that are OF any use. Thousands
OF years ago the Moles may have had
eyes But they have lived so long in
their dark tunnels under the earth
digging their way by feeling. rather
than by seeing, that now a Mole may
be said to be blind, or. rather. 70
have no eyes.
II don't do so very we'll" answered
the Mole. sadly.
What's the natter" asked IN
Gle Wiggily. always ready TO help a
friend In trouble.
Well" answered the Mole, you
see 1 ought to be curled up asleep
down in one OF my tunnels, but
came up 10 get something 10 eat
the ground suddenly froze and il is
now 30 hard can not easily dig my
way back down below. l shall have
TO stay up here until the ground
thaws. and I am hungry and cold"
I'll take you 10 my bungalow, and
there you may stay and be warm
while Nurse Jane will give you
things to eat" said Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, you are very kind" said the
Mole. And would you mind lettins
me ride in the pocket of your fur
coat? You are larger than I, and
can easily carry me-"
"Of course can" said Uncle
Wiggily. So ne put the Mole in his
coat pocket. the Mole being no larger
than a good sized mouse
The Mole was asleep when Uncle
Wiggily reached the bungalow, and,
taking out his little friend the bum
ny put him behind the stove 10 finish
his nap.
And while Uncle Wiggily was tell
ing Nurse Jane about the little ad-
venture with the Mole. in came Nip

VERSE o. CHEER

\ FRIENDLY CHAT.

\ FRIENDLY CHAT.
As / live on from year 20 year
/ bump into a lot OF cheer
That helps 20 ease the heavy load
/ bear along the earthly road:
Il ightens cares that otherwise
Might grow 10 an enormous size.
And out OF all the happy host
OF pleasures met. I treasure most
OF all the happy hours I spend
At evening, when some good friend
OR neighbor drops in with a smile
To smoke a bit and chat awhile.
II doesn't matter much the things
We say. or what the news he brings;
It's more the simple atmosphere
OF fellowship and kindly cheer
