It' he is, not lighting the treaty it can be only be-

• cause he Is not opposed to It, and believes that It should be ratilled. t Yet he is holding up action uu u treaty to which, according to the theory under consideration, he is not ; opposed, and is doing this because he conceives it to be his duty to make a light ‘‘against Woodrow Wilson ” In order to defeat the president- as he thinks—he would wreck a treaty against which he is muking no light. His language is capable of no othe” construction. As it has been before the country for a week, and has not been denied, we must assume that it was used.' This is precisely the temper in which a man least of all a senator, and chairman of the foreign relations committee —should not approach this great issue. No man should light, the treaty who Is not opposed to it; no man should oppose It simply for the purpose of giving play to his opposition to the president. Hut there a-e certain very practical conclusions 1 that flow from this position. The first is that this treaty can not win the support of the Massachusetts senator until it is either completely made over, or wholly nullified. For there can be no concessions to the president from any man who feels called on to make war on him. This has been the attitude of Lodge from the beginning. Before the treaty hie been framed he announced through his round robin that he and thirty-

I six other republican senators would . defeat it in the form it was supposed » to have lukpn. When the treaty 3 came before the senate, it was rei (erred to a foreign relations committee that was packed with its enemies. That committee reported many 1 amendments, the efl'm-t of which would have been destructive. Every one of them was defeated, though ■ Lodge voted for them ail. Then came his resolution of ratification which contained several reservations that were hardly more than amendments in disguise. We suppose that during all that time Ids fight was not on the peace treaty, but on Woodrow Wili son. The settlement of the coal strike is another credit for President Wilson. Wlien ail others fail, he ac- ' complishes and this fact in so many instances, accounts for the jealous, unprincipled and unwarranted attacks continually mad< against him. Whether we admit it or not, every one is truly glad that the president has thought out and proposed a plan whereby the great industrial struggle was called off. Though the strike is over It will be many weeks before the fuel ooniitions are any thing near normal. Consequently it will be necessary to observe the strictest economy in the use of coal. Unless the orders are obeyed to the letter the railroads ■annot furnish any cars of coal. Any business house can therefore easily lefeat all efforts and cause much trouble if they so desire. The requests and orders should be carefully omplied with. Cooperation at this time will bring order much sooner han any other method. — . x ERMANY UNEARTHS EVIDENCE OF “RED” PLANS. (By Carl U. Groat, United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin (By Mail)- —Communists of langerous type arc afoot in German/. Their plots for the winter are coning to light. These range from milk demonstrations to organied murder. Ynd while leaders are innocently declaring that the intentions of both independent socialists and communists '”e peaceful, the government is constantly rounding up documents proving that at least among certain groups of communists, exist plans of the bloodie.it nature. Government disclosures leave little room for doubt that some of the wilder spirits among the Spartacists proposed to form a murder-bund that would do away with political opponents. For instance. Munich newspapers. Prussian minister, President Hirsch, and the milita,./ are authority for revelations in the closing days of September showir-;-. that among other things, the Spartacists planned the following: (a) To do away with a large num ber of officers and soldiers in Munich slaying them as they slept; (b) that a group of red from Munich proposed to blacklist a number of prominent officials, draw lots and then “put a.v.. the condemned; (c) that, particular!" in Munich plans were afoot for creation of red “shock troops” to v against the regular military—partic ! larly against monarchists officers; fl) that in ease of demonstrations, a . men and children wera to be put i the fore ranks to shield the cow. r<’ behind from the machine guns of tl. government troop:-, (e) that the com munlst government should ally its* I with the anarchist-syndicalist group All evidence it hand in the past, f,---weeks has shown quite conclusive! that the Spartacisls and the Indepent cuts were endeavoring to prove chisively to Germany and to the world that they had moderated. Certain; in general, they adopted a new cour. ! of tactics from that pursued last v ter and spring when rioting and blot i shed were the order of the d«v Th, ‘ new course appeared to consist in so mentation of strikes and other let ■ nal troubles with a view to so emba rassing the government and hi am ing the national life that the oxi :ti; regime would be overthrown. ? t « *—wiaT jns cans—« <? t » HOW HE ENDED KIDNEY TROUBLE. “1 had a severe attack of kidney trouble and for three weeks could nol get out of doors and scarcely ou’ of bed,” writes C.

I PLANS ARE ANNOUNCED FOR NEW BARRACKS. (United Frees Service) Lsvenorth, Kan., Itec. 11 A new disciplinary barracks rebuilt by prison labor, forms an eight million dollar project lor Leavenworth. Plans for it have been approved by the war 1 department and construction is now underway. With the single exception of the cellhouse, every builduug com j , prising the present barracks will be rued. Grouping all departments of the institution under one root, the single building to be erected in sections by prison labor, involves a scheme oi building to be stretched over a period, of from six to eight years. On account of fluctuating numbers of prisoners available, however, no accurate estimate can be made of the date of completion. At ] resent inmates of the barracks number about 1,860. The United States disciplinary barrack is almost an institution of civil war days. Some of the present buildings were erected between 1865 and 1877. Other additions were made as requir’d when new branches necessitated t; broadening out of institution build-1 ings. The new structure will have a maximum frontage of 658 feet, a m’X-, Crvstal TONIGHT “The Marriage Price” A big livereel feature extraordinary of the famous Paramount Artcraft production, featuring the celebrated and well known screen star, Elsie Ferguson.
