LQUGETOSUBMI I NEW RESOLUTION TO SENATE TODAY ACTION WILL BE DEFERRED BY SENATE UNTIL PENDING RES OLUTION OF RATIFICATION IS DISPOSED OF VOTE TODAY IS DOUBTFUL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (United preSS Reservations to the Peace Treaty agreed on by the foreigh rela tions committee were reported to the Senate this afternoon by Chairman Lodge. The preamble requires that they be assented to by three of the leading Allied Powers before the Am. erican ratification becomes effective, CLOCKS 10 BE TURNED PERMANENTLY. Question as to Whether War Time Measure Has Ever Been a Saving of Daylight. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (United Press) A revised resolution of rati fioation of the Peace Treaty will be reported to the Senate today, provid c(! Senator Lodge can complete the ('rafting of a new resolution it was stated. Action by the Senate will be de ferred, however, until the Bending amendments are disposed of. -It ap peared doubtful whether the Johnson and Moses Amendments would be vot ed on today. Sunday morning at 2 o'clock time in . the United States will be retarded one - hour, and all clocks and watches should be set back just sixty min utes. This will mark the expiration of the war-time daylight saving law, which has come in for a great deal of criticism. With the changing of clocks and watches there will also come a change in the hour for doing business nearly everywhere. In Palatka stores will open at 8 o'clock instead of 9 and church services will be held as during the period previous to the adoption of the daylight saving law. But all trains will continue to operate on the new time, and the post office will ob serve it without change. This readjustment may cause some confusion at first but it will only be a short time bexore everyooay au justs themselves to it. The schools will probably return to the old open ing hour of 8:30, no official announce ment yet having been maae.

PARIS, Oct 24 Allied interven tion in and possibly the occupation of Hungary, in the event of a stable cab inet not being formed within two weeks is stated to be the threat car ried by Sir George Clark, peace con ference envoy, who left Paris for Bud apest today. ' It is admitted that there is a strong possibility of a coup d'etat with the object o f res to ring the Hapsburg dy nasty if Premier Friedarich remains in power. NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (United Press) Although two days behind Lieutenant Belvin W. Maynard in fin ishing his second transcontinental Right at Mieola, Captain J. 0. Don aldson may be the winner of the ar my's 6,400 miie airplane reliability contest on the technical point of ac tual flying time. A first computation by members of the Contest Board of the American f lying Club showed that Donaldson had flown the distance in. 49 hours, 56 minutes, and 11 seconds or about 11 minutes better than Maynard's time. All the figures are now being veri fied and members of the Contest Board will go to Washington this week to compare their official rec ords with the books sent into Air Ser vice Headquarters by the twenty c.on- tiol stop commanders who checked each flier in and out of the stations. Revision of Maynard's time for the flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific showed that he had covered 2,701 miles in 25 hours, 11 minutes and 1-2 seconds, and his time for the return was given as about 25 hours flat. One unofficial computation by the American Flying Club placed it at 24 hours, 45 minutes, and 8 seconds, and if this time were accepted as of ficial, he would be only six seconds behind the flying time of Donaldson. 'he officials believe, however that the re-check will favor Donaldson by oi t 'I miml'ei The performances of these two men, who are far ahead of their sixty com petitors on all points of competition, epresent superiority in two-methods of flying that differ radically. May nard flies entirely by compass and pays little attention to any but the most important landmarks. Donald sen flies near the ground, and finds is path entirely by reference to his map and the landmarks, using the compass hardly at all. Maynard pre fers the big De Haviland plane. Donaldson likes the tiny single-seat er SE-5, a scout plane, although it is much more than susceptible to ad verse atmosphere conditions than the De Haviland, which is about three times as large. Captain Donaldson also set a rec ord for a single day's flight with a little scout plane by flying 823 miles from Rock Island to Binghamton, N. Y. Captain Donaldson said that his motor functioned perfectly throughout the 3,400 mile flight, and added that he would have been able to have flown more than 823 miles on last Saturday if the weather had not been adverse in Ohio and Western New York.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va Oct 24 (United Press) 61ight improve ment was noted in the condition of United States Senator Martin, who lies critically ill here, according to a report early today. He is suffering from leaking heart Of the sixteen census enumerators reeded to take the next census in Putnam county only three applications have been made to the district super visor, and it begins to look as if it will be impossible to secure enumer ators for many of the counties in Florida. The difficutl y in securing enumer ators lies in the small pay, the re quirements as to ability of the enu merator and the necessity for use of an automobile at his own expense. Some time ago the Palatka Busi ness Men's Association took the mat ter of furnishing enumerators up. A man was sent to Jacksonville to con fer with Supervisor Emery. There he learned that it would be necessary to stand an examination in November, wait until January 1 to go to work and then receive pay of 20 cents per family and 30 cents for each farm enumerated. This sounds easy, but when the blanks the enumerator is required to fill out are examined it is found that securing enough to net the enumerator four dollars per day would be a herculean job. In addition to these requirements enumerators in the country must pro vide their own cars. The job is not an alluring one and it is extremely doubtful if the government will be able to secure enough men, or wo men, to do the work. FITZGERALD IS UNSEATED.
