PACT IN SENATE
Lodge May Balk Negotiations
Entirely If Compromise
Is Not Effected.
DEMOCRATS STILL FIRM
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.—The present
week 1* expected to show conclusively
-hether a compromise can be arranged
■ the peace treaty through the me

would be exceedingly discouraging, sen

The chief reason so much Is held to

it is believed by his friends that he will

with any other proposal for bringing to
gether the disagreeing groups.
There Is growing feeling lri the sen
ate that the discussions now going on
will result during the week in an “agree
ment to disagree,” which will once again
demonstrate that the democrats are
standing firmly against any repudiation
of American obligations under the league
of nations and that the Lodge group of
republicans are Just as firm for the
Lodge reservations.
The bi-partisan conversations will be
resumed late today In Lodge’s office.

FOR H. C. OF L.
Wool Man Says Nebraskan
"Framed” IL S. People.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 19.
W. J. Bryan was named here today by
Frank J. Hagenbarth as an agent for
the high cost of living.
Hagenbarth, president of the American
Wool Growers’ association, told his con
vention today:
“It isonow geven years since an iniquit
ous frameup, engineered by W. .T. Bryan,
fastened these free trade shackles on
the unorganized American farmers. It
is only by the grace of and the
artificial help of the war that American
meat and wool husbandry has survived.”
Hagenbgrth attacked the railroad ad
ministration and the federal trade com
mission.
“Railroad service has been so poor as
to Inspire the thought it was deliberately
so,” be said.
Criticizing the trade commission, Ha
genbarth said the big packers are
“quasi-public institutions and should
operate under fair federal supervision.”
Hagenbarth claimed there •will be no
reduction in wool prices. He asserted a
50 per cent reduction in the price of
•wool would mean only a $2.50 reduction
on a suit of clothes.

URGES WOMEN
TO RUSH TO AID
OF ARMENIANS
Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, chairman of the
women's division of Near East relief, is
sues an appeal to the women of Indiana
on behalf of'the sufferers of Armenia and
asks support for the campaign to be con
ducted from Feb. 1 to 22. Mrs. Rumpler
says:
“The sorrows of the Near East are
so great and its_ sufferings are so in
tense that we are compelled In the name
of humanity to listen £o the cry of its
stricken people. Women and little chil
dren are pleading for help from the
women of America. Thousands of starv
ing and homeless orphans cry to us tor
food and shelter and for the care of the
mother torn from them by cruel Turks.
Many young women enduring shame and
degradation as Slaves in oslem harems
call to us for release 'from bondage.
These helpless women have but one hope
—America.
“I know that these calls will not fall
on deaf ears. American women will sac
rifice much to meet the needs of their
sisters in these stricken lands. Contri
butions to be made later through tte
Neast East relief committee will be/dis
tributed by American workers who are
ministering angels in the land of stalking
death.
"As chairman of the woman's division
for Indiana I appeal to every organiza
tion of women -church, clubs, fraternal
order, labor union, social organization
and to individual women to do their ut
most to save a life this year. Five dol
lars per month for one year will save a
life. I am confident we will not fall
them in their hour of need.”

Essential to United States.
BOSTON, Jan. 19.—“ We need a first
class navy, always ready to meet the
demands of the nation,” Maj. Gen. Leon

declared at a meeting ip the Old South
church here. "We want a good navy,
highly trained men and good ships.”

new ideas of a loose and dangerous kind.
Referring to the activities of “reds,” he
said:

radical ideas under the guise of liberal
ism. The danger within our homes comgs
not alone from the radical element, but
as much from our indifference.”
Commenting upon woman’s suffrage,

"I ,think women coming into politics
will do a lot of good.”

plished a great advance toward recon
struction which will forever change the
physiognomy of our social order.”
One newspaper, according to the com
munique, asserted “our enemies now real
ize they are powerless to strangle ns by
armed force. The blockade has been
broken* through her victories of red
armies. However, we must beware of ex
