AIMED AT TIE TREATY

While within the province OF
the senate is the making of reser-
vations limiting United States
participation in the four-power
agreement, legislating for other
powers is not its prerogative. 1t
is difficult to believe that Senator
Borah's proposed reservation to
the Pacific treaty was put forth
for serious consideration. 1t Is
not a reservation, but an attempt
to amend the treaty. Senator
Borah would have the senate de
clare:
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 gov
erpments having rights and in
ferests in the region of the Pa
cific, and failure TO do so by any
l6ne OF the high contracting parties
shall terminate all obligations un-
der Article IL.
The Idaho senator is solicitious
of the rights of China, as are hon
orably disposed people throughf
out the world. But the Pacific
treaty deals with insular posses
sions of the parties to it, not with
China whose status it is hoped
will be established in another
treaty. AS to Pacific islands,, if
sthe contracting parties were to
restore within one year the rights,
.aSVhas provided in the 'reserva-
tiQas There would be recreated a
Multiplicity of independent native
governments that assuredly
would not make for peace and sta
bility "in the region of the Pacific
ocean" Applied to China it
would be cause of ceaseless con-
troversy. There are moral rights
and legal rights. China has a
. moral right to exercise sover-
eighty over all the territory of
the empire, but she has relin-
quished that sovereignty in spots
by processes universally recog-
nized as legal.
1t is not within the power of the
United States. unless this country
successfully uses force. to compel
the restorations desired by Sena-
tor Borah. The later is on sound
moral ground, but the method he
proposes to accomplish the end
sought is impracticable. He un-
doubtedly knows this. 1t must
be concluded, then, that he adj
vances his suggestion for no other
purpose but TO obStruct ratihca-
ton of the four-power Pacific
treaty. That he will have no sub
stantial backing in the senate
seems to be a foregone conclus-
ion.

Her AnOlOgy

A little girl was spending a night
away from home When it was time
to go to bed she knelt at the knee of
her hostess to say her prayers, ex-
pecting the usual prompting.
This not coming, she was heard to
remark:
please 'scuse me. / can't remem-
her my prayer, and I'm staying with
a lady that don't know any."-From
the Edinburgh Scotsman.

The priest got little closer as Cor
vet spoke, and Alan heard only voices
now and then through the sounds of
changing metal and the drum of Ice
against the hull. The mate and his
helpers were working to get him free.
They had abandoned all effort to save
the ship; it was settling. And with
the settling, the movement OF the
wreckage imprisoning Alan was in
creasing This movement made useless
the efforts of the mate; 1t would free

lips moved quietly, firmly and his eyes

and as a car charged into that space
and the men threw themselves upon
1t, Alan leaped with chem.

ranged themselves beside 1t with bars.

peared.
Alan clambered to his feet. Corvet
already was back among the cars
again, shouting orders; the mate and
the men who had followed him before
leaped at his yells. Corvet called to
them to throw ropes and chains to
bind the loads which were letting go

that they charged forward, half riding
one another. crashing and demolishing,

trucks that they tottered and battered
from side to side as the deck swayed.
Now the stern again descended; q line
Of cars swept for the fantail. Corvet's
cry came to Alan through the scream
ing Of steel and the clangor Of destruc-
ton. Corvet's cry sent men with bars
beside the cars as the fantail dipped
into the water; Corvet, again leading
the crew, cleared the leader of those
madly charging cars and ran 1t over
the stern.
The fore trucks fell and, before the
rear trucks reached the edge, the
stern lifted and caught the car in the
middle; 1t balanced, half over the wa
ter, half over the deck. Corvet
crouched under the car with a crow
bar; Alan and two others went with
him; they worked the car on until the
weight Of the end over the water tipped
1t down; the balance broke, and the
car tumbled and dived. Corvet. hav-
ing cleared another hundred TONS
leaped back, calling to the crew.
They followed him again, unques-

to him. 1t was not pity which stirred
him now for Benjamin Corvet; nor was
1t bitterness; but it certainly was not
contempt. OF all the ways In which he
had fancied finding Benjamin Corvet.
he had never thought of seeing him
like thisl
1t was, probably, only for flash; i;
but the great quality of leadership
which he had once possessed. which
Sheriff. had described to Alan and
which had been destroyed by the threat
over him, had returned to him In this
desperate emergency which he had Gre
ated. How much or how little Of his
own condition Corvet understood, Alan
could not tell; 1t was plain only that
he comprehended that he had been the
cause of the catastrophe, and In his
fierce will to repair 1t he not only dis
regarded all risk to himself; he also
had summoned up from within him and
was spending the last strength Of his
spirit. But he was spending. 1t In q
losing fight.
He got of two more cars; yet the
deck only dipped lower, and water
washed farther and farther up over
the fantail. Men. leaping from before

murderous melee Of iron and steel
and wheels; mems shrill cries came
amid the scream Of metal. Alan, tug

CHAPTER XVI
~He Killed Your Eather..

Alan ran aft along the starboard
side, catching at the rail as the deck
tilted; the sounds within the hull and
the tremors following each sound
came to him more distinctly as he ad-
vanced. Taking the shortest way to
the car deck. he turned into the cabins
to reach the passengers companion
way. The noises from the car deck. no
longer muffled by the cabins, changed
and resounded In terrible tumult with
the clang and rumble of metal rose
shouts and roars Of men.
To liberate and throw overheard
heavily loaded cars from an endan-
gered ship was SO desperate an under
taking and so certain to cost life that
men attempted 1t only In final extremi-
ties, when the ship must be lightened
at any cost. Alan had never seen the
effect of such an attempt, but he had
heard Of 1t as the fear which sat al
ways on the hearts Of the men who
navigate the ferries-the cars loose on

and thudding together in their
couplings.

POTASH IN WOOL RECOVERED
Small Washer Has Been Designed and
10 Being Tried by the Bureau
Of chemistry.

"A small wool washer made for re-
covering potash from feeces III solu-
tlon OF sufficient concentration to make
the recovery OF. the potash profitable
has been designed and Is being tried
out by the bureau OF chemistry Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. II Is said that the average
fleece contains about A per cont Of po-
fash by weight, but In the ordinary
method Of washing wool 1t comes out
In such dilute solution that It does not
pay to recover the salt.
About 6O0.OO0,OOO pounds Of wool
are secured In the United States each
year. and II only 8 per cent Of potash
Is recovered 1t would amount to 49,
100000 pounds OF actual potash that
would be available for use In fertilix-
ers. Some nitrogen Is also recovered
from wool along with the potash.
