Making it easier
for the old folks
No more delicate thing can
be imagined than the power of
vision.
-^orty out of every hundred
adults wear eyeglasses to aid
impaired sight, and, as life ad?
vances, this percentage increases
greatly.
Old folks find it increasingly
difficult to read fine print or
writing unless fitted with proper
eyeglasses to reinforce the
weakened natural functions.
Absolute accuracy in pre?
scribing lenses is essential to
high sight efficiency and read?
ing comfort.

Figh t for League
Equality Forecast
Johnson Back to Lead in
Contest: ''Bitter End"
Senators Rally Forces
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, The "irre
concilables" in the Senate planned to?
day to renew their fight for the
adoption of textual amendments to the
league of nations covenant when the
Senate takes up th" peace treaty in
open ses ion again Monday.
Senator Johnson, of California, re?
turned to Washington to-day from a
campaign tour of the middle West and
announced that he intends to pres3 his
amendr.-. ! giving the United States
an equai ?.?.?aber o? votes in the league
assembly and council with the British
Empire when the treaty again is con?
sidered.
"The letter of Viscount Grey," said
Scnatoi Johnson, "which, of course,
under English diplomatic usage is the
offlcal declaration of the British Em?
pire, demonstrates that Great Britain
is ready t? give to our republic the
equality of representation and voting
power which, certain Americans in their
zeal for British interests have denied
to us
"Of course, now when Great Britain
says to the gentlemen who ' so
enthusiastically have demanded that
Great Britain should have six times as
many votes as the United States, that it
is willing that there should be an
equality in the league, 1 assume there
no longer will be opposition to the
amendment which long ago I introduced i
and which was defeated by two votes |
in the Senate.
Predicts Amendment Will Pass
"I shall have the amendment brought
up again, and now that Great Britain
so generously accords the equality
which some Americans have been loath
to take, tlii' amendment doubtless will
pass with pat iotic unanimity. Seri
ously speaking, though, it is a sad
thing to contemplate that these many
months of fighting for the equality in
the league of our great nation can only
bring the deairod consummation with
the consent of the British Empire."
The Grey letter ,\:so was attacked by
Senator Poindexter, of Washington, an?
other candidate for the Republican
nomination for President, and, like
Senator Johnson, an "irreconcilable."
Senator Poindexter, in a formal state?
ment, saiil*:
?'Nothing could better illustrrte the
growth of internationalism in the
United States than the remarkable in?
fluence which has been exerted in this i
country by the letter of Viscount Grey.
"It seems that a large number of j
people in this country, including many |
Senators, are inclined to take a differ- '
ent view of the reservations in the in?
terest of the independence of the
United States since they have found ?
that Great Britain has no objection to i
them. i
Peace Propaganda Criticized
"There is no doubt that the propa?
ganda carried on to a great extent
throughout the country by the League
to Enforce Peace and various interna?
tional organizations has greatly im?
paired the old spirit of nationalism.
It would seem from the effect of Lord
Grey's letter that those who have been
putting forward the league of nations
and insisting upon its ratification
without change are more concerned to
please Great Britain than they are to
protect the interests of the United
States.
"I suppose now that the British gov?
ernment, whose opinion is supposed to
he represented by Lord Grey's state?
ment, has given its approval to the
reservations adopte:! by the Senate
that many of those wlift heretofore op?
posed them will change front boldly
and follow the lead of the British gov
I ernment.
! "This apparent, willingness to accept
the leadership of a foreigner in a ques?
tion which involves American inde?
pendence is entirely consistent with
the cntiro league of nations program."
Senator Poindexter declared if the
i Senate ratified the treaty with the res?
ervations the United States "will be?
come again one of the federated Brit
? ish states."
Hitchcock to Return To-day
Senator Hitchcock, acting leader of
the Administration forces in the Sen?
ate, will return to Washington to-mor?
row. He will be asked to join with
Senator Underwood, of Alabama, his
rival for the position of permanent
leader of the Democrats in the Senate,
in calling another caucus of the Demo?
cratic Senators to elect a minority
leader.
Holland Should Join
League* Says Committee
Faces Isolation From Other
Nations if ?Sot a Member.
Parliament Body Reports
THE HAGUE, Feb.' 4. Holland
should enter the longue* of nations,
says a report from a committee ap?
pointed by the Second Chamber of the
Dutch parliament to examine the
league covenant and draft a bill provid?
ing for Holland's adhesion to the or?
ganization.
Holland would lose part of her secu?
lar liberty in joining the league, says
the report, but this objection is more
than counterbalanced by the fact that
if she refuses to join she may be iso?
lated and excluded from the social life
of other countries. A small minority
of the committtee opposes the entry
of Holland, holding the league is
formed by "imperialistic powers," ex
cludi s a large part of Europe and Asia
ind "contains the germs of future
wars." A number of Deputies believe
there i? no likelihood of general op?
position to Holland becoming a mem?
ber.
ZURICH, Feb. 4. Denmark. Holland
and Austria intend to proclaim their
permanent neutrality and demand the
same conditions as those laid down by
Switzerland in joining the league of j
nations, according to several news?
papers here, |
London Press Not Sure
Grey Has Saved Treaty
Hope Senate "Voir Will Take
Favorable Action Combined
With Fear of Overconfidence
LONDON, Feb. 4. Some newspapers ;
hero give prominence to dispatches
from America which declare that Vis- ?
count Grey's recent statement as to the j
American attitude on the league of j
nations has effected a radical change i
regarding the treaty on both sides of '
the United States Senate. A New York
dispatch to "The Daily Mail" says, '
among other things, "now there is ?
every prospect of speedy ratification."
There is little comment, but "The
Telegraph." while "sincerely hoping
the Senate is about to take action in a
form which will aliow renewed co?
operation by the United States in the j
great, task laid upon the civilized
World," warns its readers to beware of
overconfidence. It says high hopes of
compromise and a happy "nding have j
been "raised more than once and come
to nothing." The paper holds Pre.si- !
dent Wilson responsible, to a great ex- I
tent, for the delay in ratification of the
treaty.
"His political mistoker,". it Bays,
"have been grave. If it is undeniable |
he believed himself deceived by the
opinion of Europe and was acting und
speaking en the assumption the Ameri?
can people were solidly behind him in
the peace conference and his insist?
ence upon the inclusion of the league
covenant in the text, of the treaty,, it
was a capital error."
Turkish 'Reds' Declare
Holy War on Britain
Threa! to Evict "Enemies"
From Constantinople Mini?
mized in Washington
LONDON, Feb. 4.?A dispatch to the
Exchange 'telegraph Company from
Constantinople to-day says:
"The Young Turks' 'Rod' army in the
near future will reach Constantinople
to throw out the Turkish enemies. The
Turki-h Bolsheviki announce that a
holy war against Great Britain will be
undertaken in the spring."
Another dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company from Constanti?
nople under data of January ,'iO reports
important engagements in the region
of Marash and Aintah, Turkey in Asia,
between National forces and French
troops. Marash is seriously endan?
gered, the dispatch says.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.?Danger of
an attack on Constantinople by the
Young Turks' "Red" army, as reported
in dispatches to-day from London, is not
regarded as serious by army officers
here. The "Red" army is supposed to re?
fer to the. Nationalist army, which is
dependent on the orders of Mustapha
Kernel. Its exact strength is not known
here.
About a month ago the Nationalist
army succeeded in advancing as far as
Afium Karahissar, where connection
was made with the Young Turks at
Aden. Attacks were made on the Brit?
ish and Armenians at the same time,
but the movement apparently was
halted. There aro British and French
troops in the vicinity of Constantinople
and Greek 'orces are in Smyrna.

man Admiralty, and Field Mar.shal !
Liman von Sanders, German commander j

Public Seems Indifferent
Comment by the French, press and;
the altitud-' of the public in general
before this morning's developments in- ]
dicated the utmost indifference toward;
the demand for the extradition of the ;
Germans, although some of the names ,
were those of men accused of deeds
which during the war aroused the most ',
intense indignation of virtually the en- j
tire population of France. While it I
cannot be said thai France has for- |
gotten the happenings which form the
basis of the accusations, the great de- .
lay in the peace negotiations and the i
slowness O? the reconstruction work;
have created a feeling of indilTerer.ce
with everything connected with the j
peace deliberations not dealing with j
the economic revival.
Tiie general opinion, as expressed
in the public press, seems to be that
France is not so anxious to receive i
. m is faction concerning the punish?
ment of the guilty persons as she is to
get coal in order to be able to produce|
goods for export. In other words, as
une commentator ? xpresses it, she
would rather receive from Germany
the 27,000,000 tons of coal promised
yearly under the Versailles treaty than
th ? extradition of -.he K00 odd officers
and others charged with various war
offenses.
List of War Criminals
Kept Srcret for Present
LONDON, Feb. 4. The understand?
ing in diplomatie circles here is that
the official list of German war crimi?
nals will not be published before the
dispatch of their names to the Ger?
man government. The question as to
whether thej should be published im?
mediately is said to have raised a con?
siderable debate at Paris, since one
of the Allies desired that t h i 3 course
be followed.
The decision finally was reached
that it would not b^ politic to publish
:.be list before the German government
was notified, and, furthermore, that it
would be unwise to give the accused
individuals notice that their names
were included, thereby allowing them
a chance to flee to Holland or other?
wise take refuge.
The recent publication in London of
the photographs of some of these Ger?
mans after their names had leaked out
is characterized in diplomatic circles
as a highly un. dig:: i tied proceeding.
Paris Rent (?osiger Sent to Jail
PARIS, Feb. 4.?Convicted of increas?
ing rents at on "abusive rate" a land?
lord has been sentenced to spend a week
in jail and pay a fine, of ?100. He
leased an apartment to two "midinettes"
for a monthly rent of $27, and then ad?
vanced the rate to $50 a month.
"Self-Serve Stores"
In the West and" South are many "Self-Serve
Stores" or grocerterias.
In stores of this type a woman waits on herself,
taking down from the shelves the goods wanted and, y
after paying as she leaves, carries the groceries home. I
There is no clerk, no salesman, and no one to "push |
the goods." I
Here, left to itself, the public always chooses ad- |
vertised brands. Others can't compete without the 1
aid of personal salesmanship. 1
People want advertised goods.
Each year an increasing percentage of dealers j
recognizes that there is little profit in argument and
instead, quickly sell what the people want.
Commercially, the public is Court of Final Appeal.
The national advertiser pleads his case direct.

Reed and Walsh Assail
Treaty; Remedies Differ
Missouri Senator U ants I . S.
''Entirely Out of IV'; Col?
league Is for Reservations
BOSTON, Feb. I. The peace treaty
was .attacked by United States Senators
James A. Reed, of Missouri, and I ?avid
1. Walsh, of Massachusetts, in addresses
at a mass meeting in Tremont Temple
to-night. The two Senators did not.1
agree, however, in their views as to
what action the Senate ought to take.
Senator Reed declared "the only way
the league of nations can be American?
ized is to take America entirely out of
it.-' Senator Walsh said lie believed
tile people of this country witc "over?
whelmingly in favor of a league of na?
tions," but that the league covenant
ought not to hi' ratified "without the
strongest possible American reserva?
tions."
The greater part nf Senator Reed's
address was devoted to an analysis of
the recent letter of Viscount Grey with
regard to the league.
"All Americans," he said, "may well
hang their heads when they contem?
plate tlie frlct that a ?arge part of the
American government hi.s been ?nsi t
ing upon giving the British Frrtpire ad?
vantages in the league so unfair to the
United States that a British statesman
lifts his voice in protest.
"They talk about Americanizing the
league by reservations. The league
takes us into Europe, puts us in Euro?
pean politics and keeps us in European
politics. How can an instrument of
that kind be Americanized by resi rva
lions? All a reservation can do is to
limit our obligations, buf in so far as
we assume them they are European
obligations. The only way the league'
can be Americanized is to take America i
en ti re! v out of it."
Senator Walsh said thai the treaty
hid not been ratified without reserva?
tions because of "its inhumanity, us,
betrayal of solemn pledges given to
our people by the American government
during the war, and its complete dis?
regard of the plans for reorganization
proclaimed by President Wilson in
celebrated fourteen points.

"Vorwaerls" in Editorial [
BERLIN, Feb. 3. Efforts to keep in
tact the fortune of former Emperor
William are condemned in a Ion;; edi- ,
torial printed by the "Vorwaerts" this i
afternoon. The newspaper says this
mevement is in behalf of "a man who
ruined Germany."
"The bill now before the Prussian

Details of the measure are given by
the newspaper, which says paragraph

general welfare," certain possessions,'
such as real estate, works of art and
valuable articles, but provides (lie

Britain to Call
World Parley
On Exchange
Continued from prig?? 1
above all, it is impossible to prolong
much further the present economic
situation. Italy has set an example,
urylerstanding this necessity.
?America, however, must understand
tho situation clearly. An egotistical
spirit now animates the nations, the
war not having brought that solidarity
which should have resulted from trials
endured together.
"The rise in exchange represents- a
grave danger, giving to all a feeling
that it is a threat to economic life and
social pca>e. It is in the interest of
America herself that the exchange
question should not become worse, but
Should immediately be solved by inter?
national agreement. We must all act
together for the safety of all, and, in
my opinion, the problem must he at?
tacked immediately and energetically.
??It might, at first sight appear that
the United States has no immediate
interest, but this question of exchange
will end by being most injurious to
the United" State.-. If steps are not
taken in time there will be one of the
most colossal crises the world has ever
seen, and America will be drawn into
it. H is imperative that a condition
of equilibrium be reestablished im?
mediately."

the murder of Maurice Enright, labor
feudist, whose body was riddled ?n
front of his home last night with slugs
; fired from a sawed-off shotgun.
"Labor gangs settle their own dis?
putes in their own way," said Chief of
Police Garrity to-day. "They've beer
i after Enright for a long time, and
[ now that they've got. him his friends
I arc going to take up the job of paying
back." !
To avert an open- break between
friends of Enright, who are believed
in be searching for Enright's slayer;
with the intention of putting him ou'!
1 of the way. the police bent a i ener ?
i on reaching the suspected man first.
"There are likely to be ten more
i killings before we get our man," Chief
| Garrity said in urging speed on the
I part of the police in the search. En
right's was the twenty-third death in
ten years of labor feuds.
A score of tuen were taken into cur-- !

Winnipeg a Bicycle Center
For many years Winnipeg has been
i.oted as a bicycle center. This may
; be attributed largely to the many mil is
of paved level streets and the gieati
' distances to be covered, the population i
\ of 225,000 being spread out over an ?
. area of twenty-four square miles. Prac- i
I tically all of the 500 miles of city I
