Jr PRESIDENT SUSPENDS ACTION ON PEACE TREATY. Contrary to general expectation the President has not withdrawn the peace treaty from the Sen'ate, and it is now said that he does not comtemplate taking such action for some time. It is also reported that, since the Senate refuses to approve the treaty as presented by Mr. Wilson and was unwilling to confine itself to the mild reservations suggested by the Administration leader in the Senate, the President has decided to give the Senate plenty of time to think the matter over and, perhaps, to come around to his way of thinking regarding the treaty. h~~ As to what the effect of this plan j | will be it is difficult to foresee. Of | course the irreconcilables?those who wuuki iiku to see tne treaty completely defeated?are pleased with this plan. Almost anything which means delay would please them, Weeause they feel that the more delay there is Is Your Ca I !

Austrian treaty ' before making any further efforts in ' connection with the German treaty. As the Covenant of the League of Nutions is also in the Austrian pact; its submission will afford an oppor-I tunity for the Senate to reconsider its action on that important document. As yet there is no indication of any disposition to compromise on the part of the majority Senators; how-, ever, there is no telling what may j happen. A circumstance which may exert considerable influence in the matter is the fact that, under instructions already received from the State I)eoartment, the American delegates to the Peace Conference at Paris are soon to return to this country notwithstanding strong protest made by the principal Allied Powers against such action. !

Certainly, after all that America has done to curb the German menace, here is no disposition on the part of the people of this country to desert their Allies now. Moreover there can be no doubt that the President is still determined to back up the Allies in their reasonable and just requirements from Germany regarding the peace settlement. It may well be, that, in bringing the American delegates to the Peace Conference back home at this time he has in mind the effect which such action is likely to have in making certain concessions disposed to make certain concessions in connection with their proposed reservations to the German Peace Treaty. r Together? nous, ine cur that is put topresents just that many standhe same. >E riscoe Plants. guard over every process of ! eratimr economy, of consistent i vou need a spare part you can \ I ERFIELD COUNTY ;ar, the superlative advantages opportunity for demonstration itile Co. zspzammammammammmmmmmmmmma TI II The ( The Grafonola is a nowned singers and ins every voice and every i ment of the art of soum a dominant position of therefore, means the c< of its type on the mark* made in its field, "The < T OUR S $25.00 $50.00 $< A?2 C?2 D The Columbia Catalog.

The coal strike is, of course, causing much waste of labor but since the coal is still in the mines available for use whereever it is brought to the surface, the coal strike does not mean a waste of coal but merely a delay in the use of this supply of power-producing material. There is, however, another and an even more important supply of power in this country which is being constantly wasted, and that is our water power. And this neglect has gone on, year ofter year, and with no possibility of ever recovering the loss, notwithstanding the fact that Congress and our people have long been fully advised of the situation; and this huge loss has therefore been absolutely and entirely the result of public carelessness and neglect. Measures of various kinds have been, from time to time, introduced in Congress wl Yh were intended to uiliize this p? irer?this wonderful gift of nature A.o the American people, and to stop this terrible waste of natural energy, but so far very little has been accomplished along this line. Another efliort is now being made to provide for the harnessing of this power. A bill is now pending before the Senate which aims to put this constant force of 55,000,000 hydraulic horse power with a value which is conservatively estimated at $10,000,000,000 a your to work; and an organization is in progress of formation to keep the matter constantly before the public until this important object is accomplished. Repre&ntatives of various business interets in New York City are soon to get together at a luncheon to discuss the matter and to determine upon the best method <>f boosting the proposition. The matter is*, however, not one for New York City alone. It is of vital interest to the whole country. Andj the Senators who will he called upon' to pass upon the hill now on the eal- j ondar should hear from their constituents throughout the whole country j in a manner so emphatic that there : can he no doubt as to the prompt enactment of the water-power bill an I the utilization of this vast natural resource without further delay. ~ ?* feOfj f > i ? ,j y . j v .
