WOULD LET LODGE NAME HIS PRICE.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune reports a conversation with a French diplomat in which the latter says that France would like to employ Senator Lodge and would be willing for the senator to name his price for the services rendered. The French diplpmat says that they would like for Senator Lodge to have their border moved to the Rhine, the German indemnity doubled; we desire title to Seria and would take Constatinople, and asks that Marshal Foch be made the i head of the league of nations. The Frenchman said that if Senator Lodge could not bring home the whole piece of bacon that any part of it would be acceptable and the senator richly remunerated for his services. The correspondent of the admittedly “Greatest Newspaper in the World” suggested that the Frenchman was speaking sarcastically, whereupon the Frogeater admitted that he was so speaking.
