The test which Mfr. Borah offered was whether supporters of the treaty were willing to accept reservations by which the powers would 1agree to restore within one year and there after ever to respect the. rights in- terests, territory and sovereignty of all nations, or governments in the re- zion of the Pacific" He added to that the further provision that should the agreement to restore and respect such interests be not observed, the obligations under Article IT would be terminated automatically
 The Idaho senator asserted that the 'aggressions in the far east for thes last 50 years nave been upon the part of nations, or rather governments. which have now signed an alliance to prevent aggression He charged that 1t was the members of the "aili ance and not those nations outsid4 of it. who ha . disregarded the risbts of other nations and peoples in the Pacific in recent years

IRISH SENTIMENT
 NOW FAVORS HE
 ENGLISH TREATY
Members of Dali Eireann Be- Iieve the Pact Will Be Rat flied By a Small
 Majority
By Associated Press

Dublin, January 1.-The members of the Dali Eireann who have been spending the holidays at their homes are beginning to return to Dublin for the resumption of the session of the Dali on Tuesday.
 During the past week Irish public opinion seemingly has concentrated in favor of the peace treaty with Great Britain and the supporters of the treaty In the Dail today expressed far more confidence of ratification of the document than at any time since the debate opened.
 Their most conservative estimates are for majority of about 1s and in they leave out of consideration the possibility of considerable number of the opponents of the treaty ab- staining from voting. Estimates of the sentiment of the people through out the country on the issue vary from 75 to SD per cent in favor of the treaty.
 At meeting of the Irish Conner cial Travellers federation at Mansion House Saturday night, President Holland said with regard to the senti- ment to the country the question: There Is nobody in Ireland who knows the pulse of the people better than the commercial travellers and, therefore, I can state that 95 per cent of the people are in favor of the treaty"
 Out of all the local boards through out the south and west of Ireland which have expressed themselves with regard to the treaty, the pantry board of guardians still stands alone as opposed to it's acceptance

Four Violent Deaths Are Re- corded by Police and Half Dozen Poisoned by
 Liquors
By Associated Press

New York January 1.-Father knickerbocker turned his pockets in- side cut to pay the Piper for piping in the New York amidst a Volstead defying celebration that overspread Manhattan from Harlem to the Bat tery.
 There were many casualties.
 Police records enumeIated four vso- lent deaths attributable to holiday over-indulgences, 1e men and women in hospitals with gunshot or knise wounds, a half dozen poisoned by bad liquor and scores of summonses aI- ready served by members of the dry squad of 200.
 Opinions differ as to whether the prohibitionists succeeded.
 The Evening Telegram today de- scribed the night as celebration which rivaled the widest pre-prohi- bition days"
 William H. Anderson. head of the state Anti-Saloon league, however, said that although wetter than the Sahara desert. New York was far drier last night than, it has been on other holidays" Prohibition agents, he added, followed the line of least resistance and did not interfere with those who "carried their own" A more rigid enforcement of the law, he asserted, would have caused "too much reaction against the laws"

 Rabbit Hash
 "The new tax bill reminds me of the rabbit hash of which a man boasted. X friend tasted of the connection and remarked that it did not taste much of rabbit, and inquired how it was made.
 The man replied that 1t was made Iifty-fifty of rabbit and horse meat; enc rabbit and one horse. The com ~mon people are getting the horse share of the tax bill and the wealthy the rabbit !"
 Senator Heflin outlined his duty as being representative of all the people, as much for capital as for labor but against preferment for the preda- tory class.
 Benefit of Masses
 The government is an instrument tality which should not be used as an andizement of the favored few. bur for the benefit of the masses" he stated.
 If democracy Is a triumph, they must be allowed to earn that to which be given fair chance. Labor and capital are mighty agencies. I am friend of both. I believe in human rights and in property rights, and not in the aristocracy of the dollar. A public servant must keep his eye to the common veal and not be tool to any class. but a servant of all the people.
 The workman has skill, genius, brain and brawn and Is the creator of wealth.
 Joint Control
 No party can live that Is not founded on right. There are some ho believe that wealth should com trol the government and there are others who believe that wealth, cap- ital, labor and the man without dol lar should control Jointly.
 There has been no time in my service at Washington when Wall street has been as thoroughly en- trenched as now. This is a fact, and | feel it my duty to say so."

Ky Associased Press

Washington, January 1.-The arms conference begins the new year with most of it's members looking toward a final adjustment two weeks hence, despite the pros pect of having yet to clear away several troublesome issues.
 One of the American delegates predicted today that the five-power naval limitation treaty would be put into final form during tho coming week and that in the week follow : ing settlement would be effected covering the far eastern field. The same expectation was echoed in the foreign delegations, most of whose mem bers already have made definite plans to leave Washington about mid-January.

The delegates are said to feel that seven weeks of discussion have quite fully developed the national viewpoints of all the powers, and that little Is to be gained now by prolonging debate on points that have brought 70 light serious divisions of opinion. In pur- suance of this policy, the naval ex- I the fnaval limitation plan. will dis regard the New Years holiday tomor :. row and spend the day at work None of them expect to find serious diff ficulty in the technical adjustments remaining to be formulated to cover such questions as methods of re- placement and scrapping, and there is a general feeling that the end of the week may see another plenary session Of the conference for an nouneement of a formal five-power treaty covering the naval limitation scheme.

 At the same time announcement may be made of tho new six x-power treaty partitioning tho former Ger man cable properties in tie Pacific, This instrument has not reached the formal approval of all the interested nations, but the delegates seem con fident that unanimous assent will not be long delayed.
