DEMOCRATS' AID SOUGHT BY TAFT

Former President Opens Correspondence With Leaders ? of the Party. PACT COMPROMISE IS URGED Also Suggests to G- O- p - Leader* That Difference* Be Patched Up With the Administration —Another Day of Debate. Washington, July 25.—Former President Taft, who has written to several Republican senator and leaders suggesting reservations to the pence treaty which might be acceptable to both sides, has opened correspondence on the subject with prominent Democratic senators. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, one of the leading spokesmen for the administration in the senate fight, received a letter from Mr. Taft. The former president’s communication to the Nebraska senator was not made public, but It was understood to be of the same general tenor as those sent to the Republicans —suggestions for agreement upon treaty reservations or Interpretations to facilitate ratification. Still Against Compromise. Senator Hitchcock and other administration senators declared, however, that for the present, at least, they ‘would continue their efforts for ratification without reservations. Expressing confidence that there was no question but that the treaty would be ratified, they said the fight now centered on the resolution accompanying ratification in which would be embodied any reservations or Interpretations. Contending that senate rules required a vote on each article of the treaty, the administration leaders said they believed they had the votes to defeat amendments to any section, as a simple majority only would be required. Conceding that strength might develop to compel acceptance of a ratification resolution with qualifying clauses, the administration senators said they had not yet been advised by President Wilson whether he would be disposed to accept any interpretations. It was said, however, that the administration would oppose to the last any qualifying clauses which would require renegotiation of the treaty. Democratic Leaders Stand Firm. Although Senators McNary, Oregon,; "McCumber, North Dakota, and others conditionally favoring the league expressed confidence that In the end xnost of the Democrats and many Republicans would unite In a middle ground, the Democratic leaders remained unchanged in their attitude favoring unreserved ratification. The senate had in store another day cf debate on the treaty and the foreign relations committee planned to continue its reading of the long document, but the major interest centered In the informal discussions among senators about reservations and Mr. Taft's suggestions along that line. Taft Idea Unpopular. The plan of compromise proposed by Mr. Taft for reservations in the League of Nations covenant has aroused’ more resentment than support in the senate. Neither the friends nor the foes of the league will have anything to do with the reservations proposed by him. Administration senators who have been carrying on the fight for. the league are especially ■wrought up.

Further charges of cruelty to American soldiers In France were made In a letter presented by Senator Harding of Ohio nnd referred to the senate military committee for consideration in connection with the bill of Senator Chamberlain proposing cancellation of all military sentences offenses not felonies under,the federal statutes. The letter was from Frank Woods of Youngstown, 0., who was dishonorably discharged after having served ten months of a three-year sentence. He declared he suw a Lieutenant Disjordan, n prison officer, knock down prisoners with a blackjack. “I also saw Lieutenant Colonel Maul take a prisoner out, handcuff and shackle his feet, gag him nnd spread the eagle with him because he tried to get a letter to his 'people, telling them of the treatment he received at the prison camp,” said Woods, adding that he himself got 20 days’ solitary confinement on bread and water for trying to advise his relatives of Ins sentence. Prisoners fell down from starvation, Woods declared, and-were glad to get bread from Chinese laborers. A Captain Dewey of the Eleventh marines, who were doing guard duty at one camp, Issued blackjacks to his men and ordered them “to go as far at they liked,” Woods wrote. "You could see dozens of men going to the hospital every day to have their heads from the frequent use of these blackjacks,” said the letter.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

STUCCO HOUSE AND ATTACHED GARAGE

An Exceptional Design for Those Seeking the Ultra Modern. HOME BUILDING BOOM HERE Mor*, Dwelling Construction These Day* Than Ever Before—Unfailing Sign of Prosperity for Sev- » oral Year* Everywhere. Mr. William A. Radford will anawei question* and five advice EREE OF COST on all subject* pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of hl* wide experience a* Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority, on all these subject* Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, IIL, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. The man who builds a home for himself and his family does not bnlid a house that “will do.” Ordinarily the house he puts up will provide him and the other members of his family with a home for a great years. Of course, the foresighted man will not build such an out-of-the-ordinary house that it will not be readily salable, but he will put Into his home the conveniences and comforts that he wants. Because of these facts the selection of the design for the new home is an important matter. It is one of the things that should be given careful thought and everything that bears on it should be considered before the design finally Is fixed upon. And right here let It be. said that the local architect, the contractor and the material man all can give valuable advice at this stage of the project. They have had a great deal of expegjence in designing and building homes and they know the mistakes others have made and how to avoid them. To many men a garage Is an essential building. They want places where they can house their automobiles, where *hey will be available at all times and where they can do such work on the machines as Is necessary to keep them in good running order. Home With Garage. The home shown in the accompanying design combines the modern home with a modern garage. It is a sevenroom stucco house, with an exception-

ally attractive exterior and an fnterloi room arrangement that will appeal tc everyone who wants the many conveniences and comforts the modern home contains. The dimensions of this house are 34 by 40 feet 6 inches, exclusive of the front porch and sun parlor projection. The artistic sweep of roof on the house itself, the dormer window projection which breaks the roof line and the pergola-like roof over the porch and sun parlor all combine to give this house an unusual and attractive exterior appearance. The same architectural design la carried out in the garage, Which Is 19 by 12 feet, attached to a rear corner of the house. The porch projection Is divided into a porch and sun parlor, entrance to %

the house being. through the latter. The porch is 14 by 10 feet, and the sun parlor the same size. On the first floor are four rooms, living room, 'dining room, kitchen and den, the latter being on the same corner of the house as the garage. The living room is of the size and shape that is popular with presept-day home builders. Its dimensions are 33 by 16 feet, and is a light and pleasant room. It is open on three sides and is plentifully supplied with windows, while at the end is a large open fireplace.

Opening off the living room are both dining room and kitchen, the latter separated from the front room by a hall ont of which opens the stairs to the basement The dining room la 20 by 18 feet 6 Inches. The kitchen Is 18 by 18 feet 6 Inches. It will be seen from the floor plan that all the rooms are provided with built-in features that make housekeeping easy. Three Bedrooms, Bath. On the second floor are three bedrooms nnd buth, w’ith an extraordinary amount of closet space, and a central hall. The location of the garage in connection with the bouse, with an entrance directly to It, is the modern method of building houses for automobiles. Automobile owners have learned that in order to keep the machines in operation the year around the garage must be hJated. When the garage is a part of the house itself this is done without much trouble or added expense.

The pergola roof of the garage and the roof of the side balcony are covered with canvas. Under the whole of the house proper is a basement with concrete floor and walls. This Is divided so as to keep the heating plant separate from the food and other storage rooms. Stucco houses now are In great demand. They are of either standard frame, brick or hollow tile construction, with stucco over either wood or metal lath or applied directly to the walls when hollow tile is used. Either of these materials make a house that Is cool in summer and warm and easily heated In the winter. A home built from this design will be one of which any person can be proud, and at the

same time It does not cost an exorbitant sum to erect. Much Home Building. Never before have so many persons been building homes as there are this year. The reasons aje many. The general run of heads of families now are earning larger incomes than ever before. Rents have been advanced materially. At the same time the cost of building has not kept pace with the increase in incomes and rents. These are causes that have determined many thousands to build homes of their own. Economically home owning is a great nsset. The man who owns his home is looked upon as a stable, prosperous and thrifty member of the community. To him comes opportunities that pass by the man who rents. With all other things equal, the astute employer always gives preference to the home ownef when an opportunity for advancement comes. He knows that the man who owns his home will stay, and Is not so sure of the other fellow who has no ties to keep him on the job. Aside from the .patriotic motives that? the government is urging to Induce people to build homes so as to furnish employment for labor, there is every selfish reason why everyone who possibly can should build a home this year. They are the persons who will profit in the end.

“Well, Sam, are you glad to get out of the army?” “I sho’ is, boss.” “It wasn’t a hard life, I hope?” “No, sah! De life wasn’t so hard, but I ain’t had a nickel to spend since de Lawd knows when. Dem niggers in my regiment didn’t know nothin* about drillin’ an’ salutin’ de cap’n when they got to camp, but dey sho’ had a lot o’ experience in shootin* craps.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.

While cleaning clothes with gasoline I sent my little girl, three and onehalf years old, to get my kid gloves from the dresser drawer. She had them on when she came out, and said: “Mother, why can’t I wear these?” I said: “Why, they are for ladies to wear.” She answered: “Well, mother, you said they were kid gloves.”—Wisconsin News,

Is ratified. The blockade on Germany has been lifted by general agreement, but every person from the United States who goes Into Germany until peace is declared necessarily does so at his own risk.” Mr. Lansing did not know anything about the arrangement which Undersecretary Polk had made to bring about resumption of American trade with Germany, even before the signing of peace, by issuing American traders passports to neutral countries bordering on Germany from which they could gain entrance to Germany.

American trade with Germany is to be resumed, and our exporters are ready to get the business, because we have the goods and the ships to carry them. The merchant marine is one of our permanent gains from the war. Don't forget that all the good work now being done for the farmer, the working man, the merchant and the business man was authorized by Democratic legislation and performed by Democratic officials.
