BY PAUL r. MALLON


WASHINGTON, Jan. "a heavy
load of shot and shell was levelled
at the Kellogg anti-war treaty in
the senate today when the opposi-
ton again swung into action.
After Senator Bruce Dem., Md
had ridiculed the document as a
'lunatic's dream for ending wars,
Senator George Moses, Republican
reservationist, presented the de-
mand of his side for an official
statement limiting the treaty from
any application to traditional
American policies against involve
ment in European affairs.
The offensive against the treaty
was started after a new agreement
seeking to force an early vote OF
Publications had collapsed. For
three days negotiations have con-
tinued in cloak rooms to end the
deadlock but this afternoon they
we're little closer to realization than
when they were started.
Work for Compromise
The latest objection to the pro-
posed peace is understood to have
been made by Secretary Of State
Kellogg.
The opposing forces had worked
out a plan whereby the American
Interpretation of the treaty would
be embodied in a report from the
foreign relations committee.
Chairman Borah of the commit
tee already had drawn this report.
The reservationistS say they would
withdraw the Reed-Moses resolu-
ton If Kellogg would agree to trans
nit this report to the signatory
powers.
They agreed not TO press their
fight for an official vote on the
issue in the senate, provided KEEL
logg would take this step putting
the United States on record as to
its Interpretation of the treaty. KEEL
logg was cold to the plan, the United
Press is informed, and it was
dropped.
Watson Seeks Agreement
In view of this development, Sen
ator James E. Watson Ind9 sought
to get an agreement to limit debate
on the treaty in an effort to force
a vote before the end of the week.
The two senate committees fol-
lowing trails of oil Investigations
made no progress during the day al
though the way was prepared for
further developments. The Indian
affairs committee did not hear Sec
rotary of Interior West about New
Mexican Indian lands as had been
planned and postponed this phase
Of the inquiry until Senator Brat
ton Dem., N. M arrived from his
home.
Meanwhile it dug deeper into the
Jackson Barnett Indian oil case in
preparation for the appearance
Wednesday of a number of govern
ment officials involved.
House Considers Beck
The house was considering the
election contest against Representa-
tive Beck CRep., Pa, close friend
of that city's Republican leader
Senator Elect Ware, who is involved
in a senatorial contest.
The ways and means committee
continued it's tariff hearings, rep
resentatiyeS of the chemical in
dustry being on the stand for the
second consecutive day. The rules
committee decided there should be
no more than three hours debate
Thursday on the reapportionment

Sweeping constantly ahead to greater and greater
heights of popularity making and breaking new re-
cords of success with impressive regularity the
Chevrolet Six has established one of the most
markable records in autOmotive histOry-mOre than
100000 on the road since January 1st!
Not only does this brilliant accomplishment surpass
the greatest record that Chevrolet has achieved
in the past-buti it brings Chevrolet the significant
honor of having built in only four months greater
number of six-cylinder than any other manu-
facturer has ever produced in an entire year!
Even with such a record to focus attention upon the
outstanding value of the Chevrolet Six-many people
still do not appreciate what "a Six in the price range
of the FOUR actually means!
To such persons, consideration of the features
spOnsibe for this tremendous popularity will pr0vea
revelation So read the adjoining column carefully

satiOnal six-cylinder car.

and a half you will live with these

OF their family life which, at times.

dy, the head OF the house, Is Z
prominent figure in local politics
and a candidate for reelection with
little, II any, chance OF securing the
nomination. Home comes the young

A slant-eyed, ssolid little brown
man from the fair islands of the Pa

audience Of white men in New York

He was Pancho Villa, the Filipino
flash.
Johnny Buff, one of the best little
boxers Of his time, crawled into the
ring that night, flyweight champion
Of the ring. He staggered from it,
beaten and bruised, the first white
nan conquered by a little brown one.
At the first bell Villa tore from
his corner and from then on a be-
wildered, stumbling Buff was the
center Of a brown whirl.
Pancho poked, punched, hooked,
smashed and battered Buff round
after round. Johnny's aching body
cried for relief, but his stout nerve
and staunch though thin legs kept
him stumbling in for more and more
punishment.
At the end of the tenth round
everyone present knew the end was
near. Twenty-seven seconds after
the beginning of the eleventh round
of the scheduled 15-round fracas.

Buff hadn't a chance. He was q
