ICE FORMING ON
PONDS; SKATERS
HOPES ARE HIGH
Weather Bureau Says, However
That Cold Spell Won't
Last Long Enough.

A thin layer Of ice formed on ponds
about the District today gave Wash.
ington its first thought Of ice skating
IN two years. The ice. however. is
not thick enough to permit skating at
this time.
Continuance for several days of the
cold weather will be necessary for
skating to be in the order. The
Weather Bureau, however, predicts
slightly warmer weather, and Wash.
ington may have to wait for another
cold spell to start its ice skating.

lying parts of the city. where the

dren were seen skating today. How

Speaking to q crowd in the fash.
ionable Church of the Covenant,
yesterday afternoon. Senator Borah
attacked the four.power treaty as
a military alliance.
BY special arrangement the Idaho
Senator's speech was carried BY
wireless to points within a radius
Of 200 miles and was heard by
thousands of amateur and pro-
fessional radio experts.
Senator Borah read a reservation,
which he will offer in the Senate,
to prevent the nations in the treaty
from becoming themselves "aggres-
sors" in the Orient.
The reservation, which the Sena-
tor said would afford a test Of
whether the alliance Is intended
for peace or for war, follows:
THE high contracting parties
agree to restore within one year
and thereafter forever to respect
the rights, interests, territory
and sovereignty of all nations, or
governments, having rights and
interests in the region Of the
Pacific, and failure to do so by
anyone of the high contracting
parties shall terminate all obli-
cations under Article q"
Cannot Prevent Wars.
Senator Borah predicted the abso-
lutte failure of the. four-power treaty
as a means to prevent future wars.
Conceived in secrecy, he said, the
treaty would have the effect of all
secret agreements; it would betray
and thwart the wishes Of the peo-
pie for a genuine, lasting peace.
He went on:
There never has been a secret
conference since the Treaty Of
Westphalia, hundreds Of years ago.
which did not betray the people
who were represented"
More secret even than the con-
ference at Versailles, the present
conference had evolved behind
Of preventing wars, would breed
strife throughout the world, Senator
Borah said. He went on:
Intrigue is weaving its web be-
hind the closed doors Of the con-
ference. II secret conferences
were abandoned, the diplomats
would disappear. because auto
matically they would lose their Jobs.
Those who bear the burdens, who
must fight and suffer and die-they
are the ones who should control our
going to war. The diplomats will
never disarm.
Hidden from President.
There never was a more auspici-
Gus opening than that Of the Wash
ington conference. Then they
closed the doors. So secretive has
this conference become that the
