TREATY CAW BE AMENDED, That Is Senator Hitchcock’s j View After Conference With ' | the President h OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TREATY Keen Observers at Washington Feel That All Efforts to Amend the Treaty Will Prove Futile. Washington, Aug. 27. — Senator , Hitchcock, who is leading the fight in the senate for the ratification of the peace treaty, has issued a statement to 1 the effect that he and the other friends of the treaty iu the senate are so , confident of their, ability to defeat any > 1 amendments on the floor of the aen- , ate that they are willing to go to u 1 vote this week. 1 Senator Hitchcock’s statement was ’ given out just after he left the White Hostse where he had conferred with : the president about the treaty. , i The conference with the president j I followed a red-letter day in the sen- . I ate for the friends of the treaty. | The speech of Senator McCumber, ' one of the veteran Republican lead- } ers. against the Shantung amendment I adopted by the majority of the for- i | eign relations committee, was one of 1 the most effective arguments that has , been made against the Shantung . . amendment in particular as well as against amendment or reservation that would necessitate sending the treaty back to the powers. It is the general opinion among the 1 keenest observers in Washington that Senator McCumber itas more than offset any headway that the opponents 1 of the treaty may have made by , reason of the fact that they control the foreign relations committee. . “To my mind, Senator McCumber has put the final nail in the Shantung controversy.'’ said Senator Hitchcock 1 In his- statement. Continuing. Senator Hitchcock said: “I told tile president that the Shantung amendment put on in the foreign relations committee, would be defeated by a decisive vote in the senate. I , told him that at least 12 Republican senators would vote against the amendment. “The president seemed pleased wtih the situation in the senate and the country. I told him we helped move - the treaty forward today by getting , rid of the Fall amendments. I sugI gested to the committee that it might as well vote on all as one of them. “My position is that it is best, to ' get the treaty in the senate, regardless of what is done to it in the com- ,! mitteo. where the oppoaeuts mix :u the 1 majority. | “The country cannot be settled unI til this treaty is disposed of in the j proper way. Nothing will be settled as long as it is pending.'’ “That is the basis of all our troubles now.'' said Bernard Baruch, who I was listening to the statement of Mr. ITtchcock. Mr. Hitchcock responded: I "Yes, and we will not get rid of i them until we act. The country Is I rapidly coming to that conclusion. The. people v. ant action.'’ “My prediction is,” Mr. Hitchcock added, “that each amendment put on by the foreign relations committee will j be voted dbwn when it comes up. We have at least 40 Democrats and 20 Republicans who will stand together against some amendments. The vote , will not be so large on others but large enough to kill them. “About forty Democrats are working with the 20 Republicans to get the treaty out of the committee.” Mr. Hitchcock predicted that the treaty would be ratified by the last of September. “I have been a little dubious about the proposed trip of the president,” said Senator Hitchcock, “but, his success with tlte Republican senators who called on him by invitation has convinced me that he could do great good before the people. The attitude of the opponents of the League of Na- ' lions improved after the visits to the White House. Contact with the members of the senate has helped. I told ' Ihe president lie should see other senators. aud I hope he will.” Burial Place is Exclusive. One of the most remarkable burial [ ( places in the world is situated nt Hartsdale in Westchester county, New York, a -hort ride from, the largest city in America. It is the last resting < place of the dogs and other pets of the , wealthy. Dogs are not “thrown into the ground” at Hartsdale nor are they left with merely a stick of wood to indicate where they lie. Many Hartsdale tombstones cost as much and are quite as imposing as the average stone r over the average person in the com- I num run of cemteries. f Turned Out Badly. “Does Mrs. Dubwaite, in the course ( of a little disagreement, ever remind J you of the men she might have mar- , ried?’ “No,” answered Mr. Dubwaite. “In r »n argument like that I would have a I decided advantage.” “Why so?"

FOLKS MOST DYE 1 Style Dictates That Especially Laces Appear in Many Styles DELICATESSEN TINTS ' — , Exploited to Appeal to Fashion’s Appetite — < Wearing Fringes If you are dying to be chic Here’s what you'll have to do Just get some lace to make a ; frock , And then let it dye too. (By Margaret Rohe, Written for the ’ United Press) New York, Sept. 2.—That immortal < phrase of Barnaby Rudge's raven "Never say die.” would make little hit;, nowadays in the fashionable world. 11 This season everyone's ravin’ instead , You simply must dye” at least when i it is a question of lace. Not only the lovely lace net and . shadow lace gowns and frocks are pop- i ular in black but Hie all lace gown 1 in pastel shades and even vivid tints are the last gasp of a dying season , and a dyeing fashion. Even the real laces of hand made lineage have not. escaped the dyers dire pot and filet, cluny and torchon intets on frocks of linen, taffeta and crepe de chine are all dyed up to match exactly their accompanying materials. Indeed the combining of linen lace with a silken fabric such as crepe de chine or taffeta is one of the latest Paris fads and when the laco does not exactly match the gown shade in hue it is done in a most striking contrasting tone. For example a favorite combination of color is a Nattier blue taffeta trimmed in bands of heavy jonquil yellow lace. An all grey taffeta with grey filet , is a charming clcud effect that needs) no silver lining but relies wholly on, a flesh toned satin one instead. In the all ever lace and lace and I net frocks of fluffy three tiered ruf-, fled skirts and flowing elbow sleeves , or else above the elbow wee ones,) sort of 2.75 per cent, sleeves, the grey j dye shades the /’shadow lace to al veritable hue. A lovely or-, chid dye. makes old lace and laven- i dar one and the same and is one of I the most exquisitely lovely colorings for these dyed lace gowns. Oyster white, case au lait. biscuit,' apricot, peach, citron and salmon are all delicatessen tints that appeal to 1 Fashion's jaded sartorial appetite as delectable hues for lacy frocks. These neutral tones and pastel shades are usually relieved with . vivid streak cf contrasting color in the form of a narrow pieot edged ribbon knotted with flowing ends about the waist. These dangling ends of narrow rib- • bons are by no means the end of such ends however for we are to have no end oft ends again in a return of fringe even more virulent than our first attack of it. We are to be simply i all fringed about with fringe. Entire gowns made of narrow ribbon fringe over satin slips have the ends held in leash only a! the neck line, belt and arm holes while the floating ends sway free and unrestrained to form' the skirt and sleeves. These fringe dresses formed of knotted silk fringe are stunning but a bit startling of black fringe over a white satin slip or vice versa. They are sketchy to say the least and seem to call loudly for a ukulele or poi. As a close cousin to fringe is the frayed finish to taffeta frocks. Bands of the taffeta raveled on both edges and gathered through the middle like • s hihg makes a trimming not tin-j Mecca Theater TONIGHT “His Bonded Wife.” A big five reel Metro pro dilution starring the famous screen actress, Emmy Wehlen The story of a rich young girt, who is tired of Hie rich fancies, and leaves her home Io become” a shop girl.
