At noon a bounteful repast was served, which is always a prominent feature of such occassions. and the afternoon was spent in a social way. interspersed with music, and plenty of refreshments to keep everybody cool and in lively spirits. In the evening, all departed to their several homes, after having had a right royal good time at the old, original Brodbeck homestead, which, for sixty years, has been owned and occupied by members of the family. Although it is quite probable that there will be no plans made for a regulat annual reunion of the Brodbecks, yet it is hoped that all may participate in many more occasions sue has the one I enjoyed by them last Sunday.

I — — Senate Hays Peace Treaty (Continued From Page One) fight against the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty, senators believed today, following his unexpected call on Senator Swanson in Swanson's office late yesterday. ,1 Swanson today declined to discuss for publication the result of the conference but it was learned that in the 45-minute conference Shantung was I the harden of the conversation. The J president was said to view with concern the possibility that the action of ' the foreign relations committee in amending the Shantung provision so as to return the territory to China, instead of giving it to Japan, will be approved by the full senate. Senators of both parties today agreed that the hostility to the Shantung provision had increased since the committee’s hearings began. The general opinion, however, is that the president regards Shantung as the test, upon which the fate cf the whole pact may hang. If the Shantung amendment goes through, senators predicted other provisions will be changed and that, in tne president’s opinion as expressed to senators. would spell disaster by postnorying for months the day of normal ■ things. j
