Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-The
four-power pact will be ratified by mar
gin of from three to five votes.
The expected 11th hour pronouncement
from Woodrow Wilson against the Pa
cifc treaty win not materialize, though
it is known he absolutely is opposed to
the principle of the treaty.
This information. obtained from Demo
cratic sources, amounts to Il concession
that the treaty win be ratified though,
Of course. in such a close situation a
change of a vote or two may alter the
whole aspect of things.
The attempt to draw Woodrow Wilson
into the controversy is one of the inter
esting phases of the treaty fight which
has not yet been fully disclosed Divi-
sion of opinion has prevailed among
Democratic senator's rs to whether the
former president would express himself
on the subject and assist in defeating rat
ifcatiou. Some of the Democrats have
felt that Wilson ought TO speak out.
Others have counseled silence on the
ground that the former president cannot
ciHlnGc Tie SllHatlOn III Alte Seitdtt anu
that his public speeches are record of
his attitude anyhow.
Learn Wilson'S Views.
One or two senators have had an OPP
portunity of learning Wilson's views. but
they have failed to tell associates what to
do and the consensus of opinion on the
Democratic side of the senate is that the
former president has decided to keep
hands off his party colleagues and let
them decide the question for themselves.
Wilson's silence has had the effect of
dividing his friends Some of them. like
Senator John Sharp Williams OF Missis-
Sippi, are going to vote for the four
power treaty because it appears to be an
alliance with a few powers as against
other nations They favored an alliance
or league of all nations, but not a special
combination in which others could not
even join if their interests We're affected.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Demo
crat. sought by amendment to provide
that other powers could join. but the pro
pOSal was voted down. Outside the sen
ate. too. Wilson's friends are divided on
the subject. Raymond II. Fosdiek. who
was to have been American representative
on the Secretariat of the league of nations
if the United States had become Il MEM
Der under the Wilson administration, says
the fOur-pOWer pact is in harmony with
the league. Norman L. Davis. who was
to have been Wilson's appomtce to the
separations commission. feels that the
and is directly opposed to the idea of the
league of nations.

LIMA, Peru, March 20-The Pacific
coast of South America is free from vel
low fever fer the first time in history
and little fish locally known as . life
has been the most efficient agent in the
battle TO rid Peru of the dreaded disease.
The fish, which viii have to be scienti-

found to be the most active destroyer
Of mosquito larvae. More than 100000
of them have been distributed by ones,
twos and thrces in all the water con-
tanners in the houses in the departments
Of l.ambayeque and Libertad. For an
ordinary water eontaiher of 10 or - gal
ions, two or three fish were sufficient.
No food was provided so that the hun
CRY fish would live on the organic mat
ter in the water Every eight or 10 days
inspectors visited the houses to make
sure the fish were still living and doing
their work.

But this and production cost are both SO

Derrick Lumber Ordered.
