WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Irre-
concilables staged their last stand
on the world court in the senate to-
day, rallNng abound the Moses
reservation, which would prevent
any judgments Of the court from be-
ing enforced by war under any
name or in any form whatever.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, demanded adoption of
the reservation to make the court
q real instrument of peace to pre-
Vent war.
The reservation was assailed by
Senator Lenroot, acting Republican
floor leader, who warned that it's
adoption would prevent this country
from entering the court.
I Ample Protection
b If other nations entering this
court wish to secure enforcement of
judgments by force. it S none of our
business. - Lenroot said. 1--WE are
amply protected against our involve
ment by reservations already adopt
ed.
- Adoption of this reservation
would make this court shield for
wrongdoing instead of Il court for
right.
Senator Underwood, Alabama,
Democrat, said he regretted that
even the five Swanson reservations
were accepted. The issue is clear,
he contended. that the United
States should decide whether to
enter an organization for peace or
holdout for the old system of set
tling disputes by war.
''This would merely make it i'm
possible for the nations of Europe to
accept American entry into the
COURT he said.

Rockville Citizen Held Up.

Early on Thursday morning of last week
Hugh C. BickfOrd, Of this town. was held
up on Montgomery Avenue. the principal
thoroughfare of Rockville. by two young
bandits and robbed of about So and his
overcoat, which, one of the robbers re-
marked as he took it, "is just what need"
The highwaymen then jumped into an
automobile in which young woman was
waiting and escaped.
Mr.. Bickford aliehted from Washington
train and had proceeded only few hun
dred yards when the two men suddenly
confronted him. one leveling a revolver
with command that he hold them up"
Mr.. Bickford notified Policemen Cooley
Oldfield and Snyder at Bethesda. The
three officers soon saw an automobile ap.
preaching, headed toward Washington.
They placed their automobile in the middle
of the road to block the supposed bandit
car. which, however. shot around the Of
ficers' machine and continued on at high
rate of speed.
The officers gave chase, firing several
shots at the fleeing car. Because of the
superior speed Of the bandits machine
pursuit further than the District line was
hopeless.
