TREATY RESERVATIONS
/?
Senate Will Today Clear the Way
For Final Vote Tomorrow
After the Senate had defeated
four proposed reservations to the
treaty, Senator Lodge announced
yesterday, that today the Senate
will be", held in session until every
reservation has been disposed of
and the way cleared for the vote
on final ratification' tomorrow.
fin the face of a declaration by
President Wilson through Senator
Hitchcock to the effect that he-will
pigeonhole the treaty if it is sent
to him with the Lodge reservations.
Senator Lodge reaffirmed last night
that the treaty cannot be ratified
without these, reservations.
When the President's statement
reached the ears of Senators there
were signs of weakening among
the mild reservationists on the Re
publican side. The weakening pro
cess was aided to a qcnsidevable
extpnt by " Oscar Straus, former
Ambassador to Turkey, and Presi
dent Lowell, of Harvard, who led a
delegation into, the lobby and spept
the day." with 'Senators :whom ? they
felt might be receptive',to the argu
ments against drastic reservations.

Robert W. Bajleneer One of
. City's Octogenarians,
Passes Away
long i'n shoe trade
During Four Year Civil War Fought
Under the Late J. E. B. Stuart and
Fitzhugh Lee.
Robert W. Bartender, an ol<l and i
well-known Alexandrian, died last i
night at the home of his'daughter, Mrs !
J. P. Chad wick, in Fairfax county,
near this city. The deceased
was in his 83rd; year/ He is
survived by five children?Messrs.
Clint'on S., Frank, L. ami Peyton R.
Ballenger, and Mrs.'P. B. Peyt:m and
Mrs. J. P. Chadwick. The funei.il will
take place on Thursday afternoon at
2.30 o'clock from the family home.
"Mount Pleasant," upon which estate
Fort L*on was located during the
war between Ihe states.
The deceased was the second son
of the late Peyton Ballenger, who in
ante war days conducted t'hc shoe
business on the soulth side of,King
street, between Pit.t and St. Asaph.
At the outbreak of the war jthe sub
ject of this notice and his two bro
thers, Messrs. Fran'k and Clinton,
joined the Confederate army. Frank
and Cliniton never returned, both hav
ing offered their lives upon their
country's altar. Robert became a mem
ber of Company F., Sixth V'rginia
Cavalry, and served under the late J.
E. B. Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee.
Mr. Ballenger was regarded as one
of'the most valiant of the southern
soldiers from Alexandria. Having the
nerve and daring with no sense of
fear, he performed acts of heroism
during the four years'.war, which gave
him a reputation long before the close
of hostilities. While the conflict was!
in progress he was captured at Fair
fax Courthouse and brought to Alex- j
andria in a box car. With him was a
member of the Louisiana Tiger Zoua
ves who had also been capture:!.1 For
some reason the train remained'-,at
the Duke street depot some time, and
the report in ttfe meantime spread
throughout the city that. "Bob" Bal
lenger was a prisoner." Many Alex
andrians gatkered around the car. and
the captives were given an ovation.
The guards^seemed to enjoy the pro
ceedings as much as the prisoners and
their friends.'
At the close of. hostilities lie re
turned to his home and for a number
of years was identified with his father
in the shoe business.
He was a member of R. E. Lee
Camp o? Confederate Veterans.
Recently, while the shadows were
lengthening the deceased occasionally
visited the city jof his birth. But few
of his ?cotemporaries are now :n the
land of the living, and when he recog
nized one of the companions r.f his
youth his soul went out to him and he
greeted him with a hearty hand-hake
while interchanging recollections of
the olden times.

WAR-TIM.E PROHIBITION
Arguments Will be Heard by the Su
preme Court December 8.
While arguments qn the validity (if
the Wartime Prohibition- a< t will % be
heard by the Supreme Court Thurs
day, a decision is. not expected before
Decembers, when the court reconvenes
after a recess announced today to be
gin next Monday.
Meantime machinery for enforce
ment of tne act. which has been sat
up by the Internal Revenue Bureau,
is getting1 under way and rs-expected
to be in full operation before the end
of the week. John F. Kram&r. of Ohio,
assumed his duties today as Federal
Prohibition* Commissioner, and an
nouncement of district and St'ate di
rectors is expected within a day or
two.
Should the Supreme Court h.dd t|ie
Wartrme net unconstitutional, ir.il
lians of gallons of whisky and win?
would be placed on the market im
mediately in those States which ^had
not voted out liquor before the opera
tion of the Federal act.
Those longing for a wet Christmas
are not placing all their hopes on a
favorable opinion by the Supremo
Court. In spite of the somewhat Com
plicated peace treaty situation in thc
Senate, many opponent?.of prohibition"
expect peace to lie an accomplished
fact' 'before the end of the pres.-n't
special session of Congress this month.
The White House has announced t:iuT
immediately on the proclamation of
