VICTORY FOR
TREATY TODAY
IS PREDICTED
Senate Leaders Are Confld-
ent of Passing Four
Power Pact
DELEGATES TO WAR
Senator Glass Attacks Agreement
and Regrets Ignorance" of Sena-
tor Underwood as to Meaning.
OBLIGATES TO WAR

Washington, March 24.-Ratitica-
tion today of the Four-Power treaty
by a vote of 65 to % was the count oil
Administration leaders OF the Senate
Senator Lodge was absolutely con-
fident of ratification by this safe mar
gin, and Senator Underwood, the
Democratic leader, was equally san
guine of the excess over Lwo-tnlras
vote.
II now appears that 93 senator's Will
be present and voting when the treaty
goes to final consideration tomorrow
afternoon. The treaty forces were
helped today by the appearance OF
Senator Halreld, Republican, of OK
lahoma, who has long been Ill. he
will vote for ratification.
Senator Owen. of Oklahoma, Demo
crat, is also to be en- route to WASH"
inpton after sojourn in Europe. HIS
ship docked at New York today, and
Senator Owen, who will support the
pact, is expected here in time to vote.
1t wa sarranged today that the
other three votes in the Senate shall
be cared for by pairs, and, conse-
auently. the entire Senate member
shin will be represented by votes act
ually cast or paired. Senator Crow,
Pennsylvania, who is i'll, and Senator
Fernald, of Maine. another treaty
supporter, will be paired with Senator
Jones, of New Mexico, who IS opposed
to the pact.
"Thc treaty will be ratified; it is all
over but the shouting" was the terse
comment today of Senator Lodge, VINO
seemed in excellent spirits -.
Today. was a, field day for debate in
the upper chamber. and more than
dozen senators spoke for and against
the pact. Probably the high point of
the long and heated discussion was the
launching of an attack on the treaty
by Senator Carter Glass of Virginia.
Although the Virginia senator has
denied that he had had any communl-
cation whatsoever with former Prcsi-
dent Wilson, in whose Cabinet he
served. certain senator's wondered to-
day if the views Of Senator Glass did
not accurately reflect those of Wood
row Wilson.
During his speech, in which he
termed the Four-Power treaty dam
gerous alliance and nothing else, Sen
ator Glass expressed regret that Sen
ator Underwood did not know more
about the treaty. Mr.. Glass said he
had been responsible for Mr.. Under
woods selection as Democratic floor
leader, and while he admired him, he
could not support his actions at the
Arms Conference. That the naval
disarmament treaty does not really
accomplish limitation of armament
was charged by Senator Glass.

MAY
ASK FOR TRUCE
TO HALT STRIKE
Harding is Considering Sug-
gestion That He Should
Take Action
DAUGHERTY PLANNING
Attorney General is Reported as
Ready to Move Against Unions II
Deemed Advisable.

Washington. March 2l.-Presidcnt
Harding may issue a public appeal to
the coal operators and miners to call
a truce and prevent the strike on
April !.
That. it is learned, is one Of the
plans that have been suggested to the
Administration 4 by those working 70
stop the strike While there is no Ger
tainty that the President will act
upon it. he has given ii consideration
and it is thought he will watch tie
situation carefully in the next few
days to determine whether il viii! b."
effective.
The strategy Of the President and
the Department Of Labor, II appears,
is to keep on the outlook Tor thc
"psychoIogical moment to make an
appeal to reason and good will.
There are sig!s; that Attorney Con
cral Daugherty has plans for acton
against the miners organization that
do not fit into what seems TO be the
Dcpartmrnt Of Labor'S strategy, but
the general tone Of official comment IS
not in harmony with the attorney gen
eral.
At the Department of Labor otfI-
cials are kcepin" in constant contact
by telegraph with both sides OF The
controversy. What they seek to do IS
to bring about arbitration. They
have little real hone that they can
bring that about before April /. The
miners have got themselves into the
strike mood and the operators talk
stubborn!v and as though determined
to fight the miners organization to
n standStill.
But officials say they will let slip
no suddenly presented opportunity to
bring about truce before April |,
and propose to watch Developments in
the next week As closely az though
the strike were on.
Should such an opportunity be pre-
scntcd. the appeal by the President
would be virtual certainty 1t may
he made. ANYHOW. by way of laying a
foundation for action later. But any
thing like evidence that the operators
and miners could be brought together
would bring the appeal immediately
and either cougrlcd with it or closely
following it wonhl be a concrete arhl-
tr>tion proposal.
There is bare chance that the
hard-coal operators and miners will
make terms. and that the agreement
would be used AS the basis of an an
peal for truce and arbitration TO the
two sides in the soft-coal fields.

male residents Of the United States
are unmarried. America, it is lnd!-
Gated, has the largest single collcc-
tion of bachelors in the world.
Reports that new record for the
number of marriages was established
during the last twelve months are
not credited by government officials.
Matrimony has and still is claiming
less persons now than at any time
in decade, it is believed.
Young men and women seemingly
are becoming reluctant to tread the
path to the altar, it is Indicated.
Government officials are studying
the situation to learn the cause for
the apparent unpopularity of ro-
mantle love.
The cost of living was examined
first. 1t is not believed that high
prices will tend to discourage mat
rimony to the extent Of hamperlnS
marriages to large extent.
Approximately 100000 marri>
ages occur each year in the United
States This is not a large number
in proportion to the adult popula-
ton. In Japan, England and es-
pecially in Germany, the proportion
is much higher, officials say.
