WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. - Senate "irreconcilables" are convinced that the League of Nations will prove the Banquos ghost at the armament linn itations conference.
 Their fears and alarms have been in creased by confidential adviCes they have received from overseas that the British, French and Italian delegates to the conference are fully prepared to discuss changes in the League Cove nant which would make 1t fit in with President Harding's idea of an "as3o' citation of nations"
 Senator Borah (RD. of Idaho, chief spokesman of the Senate element whose watchword is No entangling foreign alliances" is of the opinion that. economically and financially, the United States is being slowly and SC cretly cased into. the League. It is known at the Capitol that it was chief ly under British and French pressure that the recent Geneva convention of the League carefully sidrstoppcd the moot question of world disarmament IL was decided Co await development at the Washington conference.
 This. in Barah.s jud-myut, was in fine with the towcd policy of the British and French governments to have the League wait on the WashirE. ton conference before attempting to dispose of the major world problems confronting the former.
 It is no new thing for the British and French to be anxious to make concessions to the American govern. mcnt if the United States were willing to be drawn into a League modified in accordance with American ideas
 WILL PRESIDENT LISTEN?
 The nub of the situation is, of course. how far the President would listen to the proLcaguc suggestions of Secretary of State Hughes and See rctary of Commerce Hoover. or how far the President would be able to per suade the Senate to agree to a mOdi- fled League covenant.
 Another determining factor of tn" situation is the historic fact that for mcr President Wilson promised much at the Versailles conference, but was able to perform nothing when he re turned home and found the Senate standing in the way of the entry of the United States into the League.
 But MT Wilson's party was in the minority in the Senate. President Harding's party is not, although it does not command the two-third's vote essential to the ratification of treaty or an international agreement. Presi- dent Harding's influence with most Republican Senators is an open ques- tion where foreign relations are in voIved He was, however, able to win nearly all of them-and even some of those "irreconcilably" opposed to the league, like Johnson, of California, and Brandegce of Connecticut-over to ratification of the German. Austrt- an and Hungarian treaties. They split on the Borah proposal for free tolls for American coastwise vessels using the Panama canal. although warned by Senator Lodge that there were "compelling reasons" why the Admin istration did not favor it on the eve of the Armament Limitation Conference.

Egyptians, the Perupians used no

ty years ago that the first graves

fury they have yielded fortunes to
treasure seekers who despoiled them
to recover the golden ornaments left
beside the bodies.
And now the mummies of both of
these peoples tell of strange SINH
larities in style, adornment, manners
and industries to those of the pre-

the past to the present which holds
a peculiar attraction, for the num-

The percentage may be high, but It is fact that

that situation by sugar coating the doses Of Amer
