need it. We may be compelled to meet

When We leagalize, as we do by this
treaty, British control of one-fourth of
the worlds habitable land, more than
ne-fourth of the total inhabitants of
the world, We draw the moose tight
about our neck.
why Betray America"
Here is this mighty giant, the British
Empire, with vast territory of land, with
her dominion over more than one
fourth of the people of the world, the
territorial integrity of which we ac-
knowledge and legalize, with the trade
routes to the Orient and Africa under
her control-we now by this treaty de-
liver into her keeping the ports of two
great continents from which she may
deny our commerce. Why then, sirs, do
you propose to make the contest an un-
even one-why handicap America? Why
oetray America with this pretended
covenant for peace? Peace! There is
no peace--there can be no peace ex-
cept an armed peace, SO long as gov
ernments insist upon maintaing the
causes of war;
Senator Walsh decried most of the
discussion SO lar on the treaty as con-
slderation OF ways and means by which
war can be Waged by the several coun-
tries without violating this peace pact
and escape its moral consequences.
He called attention to the armament
programs OF other nations and warned
that this country likewise should be
careful not to neglect its naval program
Il shall vote for this treaty." he said
mot because am entirely certain that
1t Is real, genuine movement that will
materially advance the ending of war
and the promotion of peace in the world
but because If the United States fails
to ratify 1t now In view of their partici-
patton in the international negotiations
that have brought 1t into being it would
be misunderstood.
1T would place the United States, re-
CARELESS of her sincere and profound de-
sire and purpose to bring about peace in
the world, in the position of an obstruc-
zionist to such q movement"
Senator Mcclellan declared for the
treaty because he believed all interna-
tional disputes should be composed by
peaceful methods. Failure to ratify the
treaty, he declared, would put this coun
try in imperialistic position before the
rest of the world. However, he. too, de-
manded navy and one which could

There will be no dearth of accommo-
dations for visitors to Washington for
Herbert Hoover's Inauguration as Presi-
dent on March f. Anticipating 10000
or more visitors, the inaugural COM

commodations in rooming houses and
private homes. Hotel reservations are
being made directly by the hotels. Res
ervations in Washington hostelries by
no means are all taken, according to
Miss Kathleen Lawler, vice chairman
of the committee. The hotels, through
their association, plHn a cooperative
arrangement by which visitors can be
accommodated with the minimum of
trouble.
Miss Lawler said the housing COM
mittee is making every effort to provide
good accommodations for visitors. AS
soon as rooms are registered a men,
Der of visiting committee makes an
inspection and approves the price which
ranges between $3.50 and Sc day, de-
pending upon the number of meals
served, the location of the house and
the available facilities. Six dollars a
day is the top price approved by the
committee for rooms listed with it.

mittee to line Pennsylvania avenue

President-elect Curtis. Vice President
Dawes and many members of Congress

dream Isle,'' Sunk
In Pacific, Will Be
Raised by Finder
A m crican Contractor
Buys Macmillan Ship
for Expedition.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January 10.-A dream
island" sunk in the Pacific Ocean off
the California Coast is the destination
of cruise headed by B. M. Bramley,
paving contractor, who has bought the
steam yacht Peary from Donald B.
Macmillan, explorer, for the expedition.
The island lies under 20 feet OF
water. Bramley says it was first re-
vealed to him in dream while he
was in Cleveland SO vivid was his
dream and so inviting was the pros
pect of exploration and discovery in
seas sailed for centuries by ships of
every nation that Bramley set out in
search of his island while in California.
Plane Hunt Successful.
A ship was chartered and he made
soundings for days without success. He
gave up the idea and was about to re-
turn when persistent promptings to find
his dream island" caused him to
charter an airplane. He found it,
plainly visible from the cockpit, he said
in Is or 20 feet of water.
Now he means to build breakwater
about the place, pump sand from the
bottom of the sea to make new land
and erect fishing and outing paradise
1T may be fantanstic," Bramley said
but investigation of stone prices for
the wall about his island demonstrate
his earnestness to go through with the
plan anyhow.
Peary's History Colorful.
The Peary is fitting ship for the
cruise. Its history is as colorful as
some aspects of Bramley's dream. ii
was built first by the French govern
ment as mine sweeper, but lay in
dry dock until a private purchaser
fitted it luXuriously as a yacht. Then
Comdr. Macmillan bought it for the
Arctic expedition of 1925 with Comdr
Richard E. Byrd. He named 1t the
Peary in honor of Rear Admiral Robert
E. Peary, his commander on the expedi-
ton which discovered the North Pole.
Macmillan. here for a series of lee
lures, was in negotiations for the sale
of the ship to Haiti, which planned to
make war vessel of it when Bramley
appeared yesterday with the purchase
price. 1t is now at anchor in Boston.

He told Hess he was a doctor, he said,
and that his tuberculosis was due to
witchcraft. Blymer charged $40 for this
information. He assured Hess that
Rehmeyer was the witch.
Three times as child, Blymyer said
he had been poWwowed by Rehmeyer,

Then he told the details of the murder,
always throwing the blame on Curry
and Wilbert Hess for the actual
violence.
When they left the Rehmeyer home
after setting the body on fire, Blymyer
said, he looked back and saw some
body standing in the window in the

TRUE PICTURE OF COLLEGIAN
SOUGHT IN QUESTIONABLE
Survey Being Conducted by
George Washington Dean
of Men.
Believes Public Opinion Is
Erroneous-Wants View
Corrected.

Does the typical collegian have socks
but no carriers? Is his shirt and collar
rumpled and his suit habitually wrin-
killed.? Is there any connection between
the attempt to be collegiate" and such
problems as drinking, "necking" and
neglect of clasSwork?
Is he of the f1ivver steed and sloppy
shoes with the unmiStakable tang of
the campus, but with only a touch Of
the classroom about him, the fellow who
is picking up all the stray education
being offered in the universities of the
Nation?
Answers to these questions are
sought in a QUESTIONABLE recently sent
out to the deans of 400 leading colleges
by Henry Grattan Doyle, dean Of men
at George Washington University. The
dean plans to present the results OF his
survey before the annual convention of
the Association of Deans and Advisers
of Men here April II, II and Is.
Thinks No Is Answer.
Dean Doyle thinks no is the correct
answer to most of his questions, but he
wants to find out how much concern
and chagrin the college heads Of the
Nation should feel lover the mental
picture of the collegiate boy or girl
which the general public has apparently
created during recent years" He says
that he has sent the QUESTIONABLE In an
effort to contribute something toward
the correction of what he believes an
erroneous public opinion.
Dean Doyle already has received some
answers to his QUESTIONABLE, but has
not had time to go over them carefully
to ascertain just what the preponder-
ance of answers to his questions decides.
Dean Doyle seeks answers to the fol-
lowing questions:
"Is the collegiate of the humorous
press and vaudeville stage the typical
student of your college? or

of your enrolment, and If so, what
percentage of the student body is like
