HITCHCOCK SAYS 1 SENATORS WILL RATIFYJREATY Necessary Vote to Amend League Draft Will Not be Obtained, He Declares. .

Bt Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 20. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Demtcrat of the senate foreign relations committee, predicted In a statement today that the senate would ratify the covenant of the league of nations and that the necessary majority rote to amend it or separate it from the peace treaty would not be obtained. Senator Hitchcock has . been the chief spokesman for the administration throughout the long senate controversy over th and his statement was generally regarded as a reply to that issued last mgni Dy senator Lodge, the Republican leader, who said th enant was not acceptable to a majority of the senate. "The supporters of the peace treaty m me senate are confronted by dmd ed forces." said Rpnotnr mtrhwk "First, there are thos hn vmiM iiV to eliminate that article of the treaty wnicn estaoiisfces the league of nations because they are radically opposed to any league of nations under any circumstances. Second, there are those who profess to support the league of nations but Insist on amending some of the provisions to meet their own particular views. t Majority To Amend "Either of these plans to succeed must receive the support of a majority of the senate. In other words the opponent of ratification can beat the treaty by securing one-third of the votes of the senate to reject the treaty but in order to amend it they must secure a majority of the votes of the senate. "It would require a majority of votes, of course, to strike out the league of nations article Just as "it would require a majority to change any part of the league of nations. I do not believe a majority can be mustered for that purpose. It must be evident to everybody that while the senate can amend the treaty such amended treaty is a new treaty whether it strikes out the league of nations provision or whether it amends the league of nations provision. It could not possibly go into effect until all of the nations party to the treaty p.ccept the amendment. If one refuses to accept it that would produce a deadlock and make peace impossible." Ordnance Department Of Cincinnati District Will Sell Much Equipment Due to the cancellation of war contracts, which followed the signing of the armistice, the ordnance department of the war department has on Its hands quantities of material, machinery and equipment.

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL BRINGS V JOY. TO PUPILS Great rejoicing prevails among the school children over the fact that this is the last week of school. The last two or three days oi school are always more or less confused because in the upper schools, classes are irregular and there are any number of tests and "exams" coming along to take the joy out of life generally. The children in the grades are vitally concerned over the. grades they will get on Friday. Those who will go to Garfield swell with pride as they remind their inferiors that they have to take all Borts of "awful and terrible" subjects. Pupils who will enter high school are glad they can have a breathing spell before they enter that imposing looking structure where tales are told of impossible studies, cruel and stern teachers, and a lot of teasing from the upper classmen. The freshmen at "high school are happy to think that next year they will be Immune Irom any teasing about being a "freshie" and gloating oyer their right to be able to do some teasing themselves. The sophomores are feeling more than pleased to think they will be a proud junior, and the junior is thinking how he will strut the halls next year with all the freedom of the high and mighty senior. The Beniors are out of school already. The vacation began Friday. Nevertheless, they can be seen standing around the halls at high school looking sad at the thought that this is their last year. Many of the seniors will take positions this summer and others will rest before going on to college. This week is the most important week in the life of a senior, with its confusion of senior play, commencement, parties, commencement gifts, and credits. The grade schools will be out Thursday at noon. Garfield junior high school and high school will be dismissed Wednesday at noon. The students will return Friday afternoon for hteir cards. Vacation begins Friday afternoon and lasts until September 8, the second Monday in September, when school work will be re sumed.

This completes the embarkation of the 80th division and begins that of the 36th division, Texas and Oklahoma troops. FLOOD OF BILLS IS POURED ON SENATE (By Ass.rctatcd Press WASHINGTON, May 20. Such a cloud burst of bills and resolutions descended upon the senate today that vice president Marashall remarked to the senators, practically all, of whom had something to introduce: "Don't be in a hurry, you have all day." The senators laughed with the galleries at the situation and the measures poured in through the prescribed orderly, but somewhat slow procedure of being sent to the vice president's desk, announced and referred to committee. Enough were presented in less than an hour to keep the senate at work a year if it considered them. There were many on the same subjects. Woman suffrage probably had khe most; repeal of daylight saving naa a number; others proposed more pay for soldiers and sailors; many related to oil, timber and public lands.

LITHUANIA

Ate KOVNO EAST M J GR.OONO A GALJ)C1A NEEDS OF ARMENIANS URGED IN U. S. Gnawing, slow starvation striking whole sections in the Armenian Caucasus, and demanding immediate help is described in a recent letter and appeal sent by Harrison A. Maynard, treasurer of the Armenian and Syrian Relief work in the Caucausus. to the relief headquarters No. 1, Madison Avenue, New York city, and received at the central offices of the Five Years Meeting here. Twenty first grade men for relief distribution are needed, says the notice from the New York office; also 23 women and two trained men for orphanage and industrial work; six stenographers, four doctors, for general practice; three nurses, one builder, three accountants, one transporta tion superintendent, one housekeeper anad one woman for employment bureau are badly wanted. The demand for food and money is great, says Maynard: "In Karakillisse near the border of the new republic of Armenia I saw refugees living in filthy hovels taking in other refugees still mode destitute. There are 22,000 Turkish Armenian refugees besides 5,000 Impoverished native or local Armenians in this district. To them about one tone of potatoes, and six tons of wheat and barley had been given in two months. A sort of soup kitchen was opened for a time but this has been closed," said he. It is probable that a little food is obtained from begging. "A relief center has been opened in Urinia where there are 1,100 Moslems, Jews, Kurds and a few Christians. Especially in Salmas, Hunay as well as other places is the need desperate. At least $4,000 is needed monthly by the Azerbaijan Committee," states a message from the American legation at Teheran.

Mr. Cutter has been in declining health for some time but his condition has been serious since Sunday. He is an old resident of Richmond.

RED CROSS PROVES OF GREAT BENEFIT TO CHILDREN

"Wnen children give up buying long, juicy, sour pickles of their own accord and re proud to do it, you know results have been accomplished," said Miss Frances Berry, chairman of the Junior Red Cross, in summarizing the year's work, f I believe the Red Cross has made a far greater impression' on the children than people realize.. Although the Junior Red Cross has been . organized for some time, Miss Berry stated that no definite Working program had been made out until last February, when a series of campaigns were arranged. - These activities included seven general heads: Health, thrift, conservation, community ser vice, gardening, nature study, history and development of the Red Cross, and social service, each of which were featured for two weeks. Children Compose Board. The board of directors was com posed of one representative from each of the grade schools, and two from Garfield and High school, but each school worked out its own activities as seemed best. In some schools each room organized with a president, vice-president, secretary end treasurer, holding meet ings at stated times and carrying out the work as a club. Other schools had "four-minute men" to present the subjects, wrote articles, gave reports of famous Red Cross workers, or made posters and representative draw ings. The health campaign was the greatest and was continued throughout the entire semester, although it was featured only for the two weeks. At Whitewater school the children seemed to have a particular tendency towards lunching on sour pickles. Before the campaign began, 50 per cent, of the children on the playgrounds would be seen standing about with twisting, contorted faces and eyes lwatering while they tried to consume huge pickles, and the whole grounds fairly reeked with the strong acid. Now a pickle is almost a stranger in the school. Trained as to Habits. In matters of health the children were told not only what habits they were to form, but why they should form them, and means were taken to show the practical results. In some schools blackboard records were kept each day of the number who had brushed their teeth, and sometimes the children would elect an inspector for clean- hands. One Warner school enthusiast made a poster showing a tooth brush with the motto, "Don't be a Slacker." Right eating was especially insisted upon. In one room at Whitewater the children themselves would pass judgment on each lunch, and then tell why an apple or a sandwich was good, while pickles or candy or pie was bad. This interest in proper food was so general that even kindergarten children showed the Influence. At Starr school the smallest beginners proudly would call their teacher's attention to the fact when they brought graham crackers for lunch; and at Warner school one little girl was heard to remark with sad wisdom, "No,I don't bring cake for lunch any more. It tastes good, but you mustn't eat it just by itself." Own Thrift Stamps. The thrift and conservation campaign applied especially to the thrift and war savings stamps, and resulted in $6,130 worth of stamps being bought between January and April 15, making a total of more than $55,000 worth being owned by the Richmond children. Community service made an espe cially strong appeal to the children of the lower grades. Miss Berry stated. This included cleaning up the school grounds, making posters advocating swat the fly," and making public places in general as clean as possible, although the children were not urged to pick up dirty papers since there was such a possibility of them con tracting diseases in that way. The intense community spirit which was developed in this campaign might be shown in one "four-minute speech" which a third grade boy at Sevastopol made to the kindergarten, when he be came so enthusiastic in urging every boy and girl to help make Fairview the most beautiful part of the city that he earnestly pleaded, "And if any of you know somebody that's sick and needs his house painted, just buy a can of paint yourself and paint as much as you can for him." It might be added, however, that the body of kindergarten housepainters failed to materialize. Gardening Taken Up. Gardening was taken up under the direction of the garden supervisor, with interest also directed towards protection of birds, through the Junior Red Cross nature study. Bird houses, bird books and posters were made in all the schools, and some rooms kept lists of birds which the pupils had seen. Wrriting letters to French orphans constituted a part of the social ser vice program. - Hibberd school also had a sale of toy rabbits for the bene fit of their French orphan fund. Posters, "Clothe the Refugee" were con spicuous among the collection of drawings at the school exhibit. High school girls made quantities of cloth ing for the French and Belgian chil dren, while high school boys helped with hoxing the clothing collected for refugees. Girls of the grades made handkerchiefs for the soldiers. Modern Health' Crusade One of the greatest features of the Junior Red Cross in this city is the Modern Health Crusade which is being carried on at Garfield Junior High school. To" become a crusader the boy or girl must sign the pledge card and keep the rules for two weeks before he or she becomes a page. After three weeks more the page becomes a squire and is given a blue button. When the squire has fulfilled the rules for five weeks more, making 9. total of ten weeks in all, a metal pin is awarded and the member is called a knight. The highest rank to be obtained is knight banneret for which a bronze emblem is given, but this rank requires an additional five weeks, and since the movement was not started in this city until March 15 it will be Impossible for the Junior members to obtain this degree until next fall. The girls, with Mrs. Graves and Mlis Schulz as leaders, at present have 149 pages, 101 squires and five knights, while the boys, who were much later in starting, have between 135 and 150 pages and about 35

squires. Each crusader keeps a rec

ord of the daily health chores, which include washing the hands and drink ing a glass of water before each meal, brushing the' teeth twice a day, keep ing neat and cheerful, sleeping nine or ten hours, etc. . Each Room a Health Chart Each assembly room at the Junion high school has a health chart, where each pupil puts down his weight and height each month, comparing Jt with the perfect weight and height of the normal standard, . and watching his own development. This modern health crusade Is one of the best, things we ever had," said Mrs. Graves, after giving out several emblems to a group of anxiously waiting girls. "It reaches every class of children, and it drills habits Into them which will benefit them for the rest of their lives." , "Whitewater and Warner seem to have shown the greatest results in the general Red Cross work,"; eaid Miss Berry, "but all the schools have shown such Interest that we consider the few months' work a great success. I believe the field of Junior Red Cross work only is starting. Next year we hope to organize at once and carry a complete program, instead of crowd ing everything into the last few weeks of school. I don't suppose the children realize what it all means, but at least they have grown to feel the spirit which makes French orphans and Belgian children seem very real, and also has made them abolish the pickle lunch." Connection Not Remote. Indeed, the connection between the dill pickles and French orphans does seem rather remote, but the great universal spirit of the Red Cross which brings richer, more complete life to everyone, linking all the world together in its great bonds of right eousness and brotherhood, has found a permanent place in the lives of the children, and the spirit which makes them proud to show clean hands and better health records or to sell toy rabbits for a relief fund is the great pure spirit of a new, a greater America, the Junior Red Cross. Giles Is Superintendent Of Yank School In France "With a capacity of 1.200 patients, which meant that we had 1.200 beds, we cared for as many as 2,000 wound ed, sick and dying men at times dur ing the war," said Sergeant Roger Giles, of Base Hospital 32, the Indiana unit which saw heavy work at the front with the Rainbow division. Giles, who arrived in Richmond a few days ago following his honorable discharge, wears three gold service stripes, but says that his lot wasn't half as bad as that of the fellows in combat divisions. "During our service back of front lines we took care of about 10,000 men altogether. Our heaviest work was during the action around ChateauThierry, and later in the Argonne," said Sergeant Giles. "Here we were rushed to capacity, and often had to give up all our own cots and move up on the hills for our own naps, taking them on mother earth. The casualties during these two drives were very heavy for the Americans, and the Rainbow men came in for their toll," he said. He explained that he spent a day with his father, former Superintend ent J. T. Giles of the .Richmond schools, who is now superintendent of the public schools for Yanks in a cer tain district of France, including Bordeaux. He was with him in Bordeaux. "Every American soldier in France has an opportunity to continue his schooling from wherever he left off when he quit school back in the states," explained Giles in telling of his father's work. Mrs. J. T. Giles is expecting to leave in June or July for France where she will travel until her husband's work is finished there. Mrs. Giles has applied for her passports and expects to go as soon as she secures them. Sergeant Giles said this morning that he personally was very fond of France; thought, in fact, that it is a great country, .but that the U. S. A. looked mighty good to him, and "it's really great to be back in God's country," he said. The Mothers' Pension Commission of Delaware, created two years ago, will receive a substantial increase for its work and also an enlarged contingent iund. . 301 Nat Road West ,

On the Mame, at Chateau-Thierry, In the Ourcq advance, we got a good fill, but it wasn't over then by; a long shot. After that -we were on the Vesle river, in the .Argonne, and were seeing action in the Thiercourt sector when the armistice was signed. "Ye6.
