MISS Hope knickerbocker. one Of

expressed the hope that 1t might soon
become reality.

frequently made to the utility as well

bodies, and as furnishing in the capi-

not only of nation but also of inter-

taken a tack which they hope will
swing sentiment toward them. They
do not urge the return of the saloon
they insist it will not come back.
They do not base their campaign on the
question of repeating the eighteenth
amendment. But they are concen-
trating on the volstead law. hoping to
exhibit certain of its provisions as
too extreme and inconsistent with the
intent of the eighteenth amendment
The objective is the return of light
wines and beer, though the anti-pro-
hibition forces are by no means
united on that point.
Drys See No Way.
The drys. of course. see no way by
which the volstead law can be mod
flied to permit light wines and beer
without being unconstitutional. as
they insist that to increase the aIeo-
holic content of beverages now sold
would merely fly in the face Of the
experience of dry states before the
eighteenth amendment was adopted
wren one-half of 1 per cent of alco-
hol was an accepted principle of pro-
hibition legislation. The "drys," how
ever, are not having it all their own
way. This election for Congress is
the first in which a prohibition issue
can be fought out without being In
numbered by national presidential
questions and party platforms. T;s
the first time since the eighteenth
amendment was adopted that the re-
turned soldier. WHO is said to be
against prohibition, will have a
chance to register a protest The
preparations being made by the drye
are the best evidence of the revival
or survival of the prohibition issue.

resented. 1t was recognized that
orientals are very sensitive in occi-
dental countries.
For a time it was argued that there
seemed no particular need for a chap
lain at the gathering. Efforts of those
who demanded that the proceedings be
marked with prayer were redoubled. A
great many of the letters directly
charged that former President Woodrow
Wilson met with failure at Paris be-
cause he. as a Presbyterian elder, failed
to stand up for the invocation Of Chris
tian guidance.
Eventually the pressure from the en-
tire country had its effect. It was agreed
there should be an opening prayer. The
complexities of the situation were ap-
preciated. 1t called unquestionably for
ence met the prayer was delivered. Tho
chosen agent waS DIR. Abernethy. With
in an hour after he had concluded. re-
ligious zealots in Washington - and
soon throughout the country-were d.
recting attention to the fact that the
prayer had contained no reference to
the Lord and Savior. Members Of tho
conference, however, found no fault, and
the proceedings continued without any
additional prayer until the final session.
Then Dr. Abernethy again was call
ed upon. He made another prayer.
This time he ended his benediction
with the words 'fn the name Of our
Savior"
This reference to the Christ in the
dying moments Of the conference
renewed the gossip that there had
been censorship of the opening pray
er and that church circles every
where were deeply stirred.
DR.. Abernethy, in the study Of his
church today. said Of course he had
heard the stories and had received
1ANN
''Wers the stories true?"
Naturally not"
The opening and closing prayers
were submitted to no one for CEN
sorship. No effort had been made to
have this done. The doctor was en-
phatic.
But why the non-reference to
Christ in the initial prayer. and the
reference in the final?" was asked.
Then DR.. Abernethy became
serious. He explained rather spirit
edly that he had delivered his prayers
.,e,,,d, at the cor conference ,e exactly as be
When Christ told us to pray in
His name," said the President's
pastor. He meant very much more
than the simple repetition of His
name.
Our Savior gave US a prayer which
He Himself composed. 1t does not
contain any mention of His name.
Yet it is the prayer that is repeated
from millions of reverent iins
throughout the world every day.
That prayer Is offered in the spirit
Of His name. 1t always must be-"
The gossip of a censorship imposed
upon him naturally is resented by
DR.. Abernethy, but he said today that
inasmuch as no one had officiaIly
made that charge, he could make no
further answer than that already
quoted.

TREATY DEBATE BITTER.
Senators Lodge and Robinson in
Dramatic Exchanges.

The Senate debate on the four
power treaty touched it's high-water
change resulting from suggestions OF
secret British American understanding
for future cooperation.
Aroused by recurring references to
such an international understanding
after its existence had been directly
denied. Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts, the republican leader and a
member of the American arms dele
cation, took the floor, and in voice
shaken by emotion declared he no
longer could be patient under attacks
which seemed to question his patriot
ism and impugn his honor.
Replying in a fashion scarcely less
dramatic. Senator Robinson, demo-
crat. Arkansas. an opponent OF the
treaty, told the Senate he questioned
no ones motives. but proposed to do
his patriotic duty az he saw IL. with
out permitting himself to be ''intimi-
dated by outbursts of Indignation"
He remained CONVINCED. he said. that
both of the Senate's representatives
on the delegation were Amazingly
ignorant" of some of the things done
at the conference.
Confer With President.
The exchange between Senators
Lodge and Robinson. which was
part Of long debate sown broadcast
with charges of ISLANDER" ''un-
truths" and "propa ganda." took place
shortly after the republican leader
and other prominent figures in his
party organization had canvassed the
whole treaty situation at White
House conference with President
Harding. Beside Mr.. Lodge. those
who were present included Chairman
tional committee. Senator McCor-
mick of Illinois. chairman OF the
party's senatorial campaign commit
tee, and Senator Curtis of Kansas, re-
publican whip of the Senate.
understanding nds s for future Concerted
action was thrown into the Senate
debate by Senator Borah. republican,
Idaho. who read a statement regard
ing the conference results he said
had been made by Paul d. Cravath. a
New York attorney. In this state
ing he had been told "by every mem
her OF the American delegation" that
the conference resulted in an un-
written understanding between the
United States and Great Britain OF
such a character that both sides as
they can both count on having the
very closest cooperation"
Senators Deny Assertions.
The accuracy OF tiis assertion was
promptly denied by Senator Lodge and
by Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
democratic leader, and also q member
Of the American delegation. Senator
Underwood said he did not recall ever
having met Mr.. Cravath, and Senator
Lodge declared he never talked with him
on the subject. Both asserted posi-
lively and directly that 70 far as they
knew no such understanding existed or
