PACT MUDDLE
CONTINUES TO
GROW WORSE
Republican Senators
Say Meaning Must
Be Explicit.
ASK RESERVATION
Declare U. S. Mustn't
Be Bound to Aid
Japanese.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Bewil-
dered by the conflicting interprota-
tions placed on the four-power Pa
cific treaty by President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, Republican Sena-
tors who were at first inclined to ac-
cept the pact without question, con-
tinued to demand today that it be
clarified textually, or with reserya-
tions, so that there may be no fur
ther dispute as to just what + does
mean.
Following the leadership of Senator
McNary, Republican, Oregon, several
Republican Senator's representing other
Pacific coast or Western States, declared
they would be unwilling to support the
treaty unless a reservation were attached
to 1t which would clearly and unmis-
takably stipulate that the United States
was not going to go to the aid Of Japan
If she were threatened with armed ag-
eression.
OPPOSE L. s. AID
IN JAPAN'S WAR.
ohppVoS NfNi HAdIAJ, AtAHNld' NA4Aid
should five, ten or fifteen years from now
suddenly form an armed alliance and
attack Japan, would the United States be
exfetted to send her soldiers, sailors and
marines to help fight Japan's battles z
McNary inquired. not II l have any
thing TO say about it. The treaty as It
stands now, can be interpreted in any
way TO mean such thing. or to mean
that we are to help preserve the political
and territorial integrity Of japan herself
Then | think a reservation should be
adopted by the Senate TO he effect that
we do not so interpret the treaty.
The miX-up over the question Of how
far the treaty involves the United States
with Japan has stirred the Senate more
deeply than anything that has developed
from the armament conference, since Mr.
Hughes submitted his original 5-5-3 naval
ratio proposal on the opening day.
IRRECoNCILABLE
RANKS INCREASE.
The ''irreconcilables" are no longer the
only Senators opposing the treaty In rs
present form. Their demand that the
treaty be rewritten or KILLED Is being
reflected by some OF those who were
elassed as mild reservatlonists" iu the
League Of Nations fight.
Democratic Senators who still reflect
the League Of Nations views Of former
President Wilson, are sitting back and
quietly enjoying the new situation that
has developed on the Republican side
They are inquiriug II President Harding
is to undergo the same painful expert
ence with regard to reservations that
Mr. Wilson did.
The situation has been further compli-
Gated by the insistence Of Senator, King
Democrat. Of Utah, who is comforting
frequently in an advisory capacity with
the japanese delegates to the conference
that unless the American Government
officially recognizes the treaty as binding
the United States to assist Japan in
every way TO protect herself from posi-.
bile enemies that the treaty viii be un.
acceptable to Japan.

hospital position by Mayor Elect Shank.
COUNTY ATTORSEYSHIP
BIGGEST POLITICAL JOB.
The biggest political Job to be passed
around by the commissioners is that OF
county attorney which pays $4,000 a year.
Harry c. HeudrickSon, the present county
attorney, is also the Republican county
chairman and was put into that position
last year by the Jewett Lemcke faction.
Mr.. Heud-ickson as county chairman
holds the Vantage Of having the power
to select the Republican member Of the
board Of election commissioners for the
primary. The right sort Of an appoint
ment for election commissioners Of
course IS desired by the different Repub-
lican factions al the primary. Mr.. Hend-
rlckson and w. \. Harding are mentioned
among those being considered It Is
understood that the Coffin-DodsOn crowd
have suggested John G. Ruckelshaus but
II IS also rumored that Commissioners
shank will not consider the suggestion"
There IS also gossip that Mr.. Tute-
wIIer looks with favor upon Merle \. ).
Walker for the county attorney appoint
ment, but this has not passed the Eos-
SIP stage as yet.

is no agreement as yet on the custodian
appointment.
There Will be no change In the various
institutional heads. Mr.. Shank an
nounced. as he considers all appoint
mcnts for a four year term.
There will be some slight changes In
the stan Of courthouse janitors aud Mr..
Tutewiler. It is understood, insists upon
certain changes among the county road
superintendents.
Commissioner George is taking no hand
in the appointments as he goes out of

WAVE FATLS TO
LIVE UP TO ALL
ITS PUBLICITY
Christmas Weather Held in
Allegiance by Bureau
Chiefs.

Deep and dark mystery surrounds the
Christmas weather department or the
United States Weather Bureau, ana
whatever it is that J. H. Arlington.
meteorOlogist. has IN store for Indianapo-
lis for sunday, is being under lock and
key. Mr.. Arlington insists that it Is
yet to early to make any Christmas pre-
dictions I'm view of the rapidly changing
weather conditions existing throughou
the entire country.
The highly advertised cold wave which
was to have descended upon Indiana last
night and chase the mercury down to it's
dug out at the bottom Of the thermometer
failed to live up to its advance publicity,
and the lowest mark recorded was 81 de-
grees above zero. From that point it
started back up the tube and there is
every indication that in another twenty
four hours quite moderate weather will
prevail. In the meantime there may be
little rain or possibly snow by way If
variety.
The cold wave which was headed
straight for Indiana changed its line of
march at the last minute swung a little
north and passed eastward where it is
playing havoc along the Atlantic coast.
Another high pressure area is making
itself manifest around Edmonton and
Calgary, Canada, Mr. Arlington said to-
day. and in this far off neighborhood
all kinds of cold waves are chasing each
other around. Whether or not this area
will spread eastward and southwark and
include Indiana in its tour will not be
known for a day or So
Today, which is the first day of winter,
also has the distinction of being the
shortest day of the year The sun rose
at Z :04 o'clock this morning and will set
at :23 this afternoon. Beginning to-
morrow the days viii become a little
longer each day and within a month the
change in the amount of available day
light will be decidedly apparent

Fortunately. there is a brighter
side TO the picture I have presented.
Prices for live stock are much higher
relatively than prices for grains. In
the case of corn, for example, which is
our largest grain crop the farmer Is
receiving very much more for this
grain when fed to hogs and cattle and
sheep and marketed in that form than
he is receiving for his corn when mark
eted as corn. Speaking generally,
about so per cent OF our corn crop is
fed to livestock. and those farmers
who have maintained their livestock
production are not suffering SO Sc
Yerely as might be indicated by the
price OF grains. The prices of dairy
products also are higher relatively than
the prices OF grains and feeds, and in
those sections where dairying Is prac-
ticed there is a steady income and the
farmers are getting along"

report OF Henry c. Wallace. secretary
