Before casting bis vote Senator Wads worth of New York, chairman of the military affair* committee, expressed the opinion that In the next war this ■ treaty woubl not be worth the paper | It was written on. ^ “For my own part,” said Senator Wadsworth, “I slnill be very much dis couraged If the United States army should -stop trying to perfect gas masks hecause of this treaty. We don’t'dare stop. Arid the orily way we can perfect gas masks is to test them with the kind of gases which we may have to combat. We might as well look the facts In the face.” Before the week closed, the remain ing treaties, the nine-power pact re lating to China arid the one dealing with the Chinese tariff, were put through, and thus the senate complef-” ed' its part* in making the great Washington conference a sm'cesk. Naturally., and with reason, the Dem ocrats claim a share In this accom plishment. especially asserting • that former President Wilson must lie given much Credit for arousing public opinion in favor of naval limitation. It Is evident, however, that the Repub licans will make large use of the con ference and its results in this year’s congressional campaign.

Ail efforts to pre vent 'the great strike were futile. Ac cording to some of the union leaders, the walkout is likely to last about sixty days. During that time, pre sumably, both sides will foi'mulate their demands and present their cases, and it may lie that these will result in the negotiation of new. contracts. The operators insist that wages must come down in correspondence with the decline ip ttie cost of living, hut they have not yet revealed what percent age ^of reduction they xvill' demand. The miners, in reply, say that the stagnation in the. coal Industry is due to wasteful methods of production.ex cessive profits, violation of the laws of supply and deimiml in control of mar kets and prices^and that costs of liv ing in the mine arcus’have advanced while wages remained ^tMtioftary. In siime regions, as Pittsburgh, southern Hliio. and ..Kanaw ha. Ya^ tin* operators have posted h/Klce* of wage reductions am) hrtpe to la* able to run their luTnes with mmunion labor.

While the Greeks are not at all sat isfied with this arrangement, H.11 fac tions except the Vetdzellsts are sup porting the Gonnffrts cabinet in ac cepting it.
