PARIS TEMPS FINDS
RES V T1S
GOOD
French Organ Says Opinion
Is Enlightened.
AMERICAN SENATE UPHELD
Treaty Changes Held to Contain
Wise Interpretations Well
Worthy of Sanction.
The following translation of an ar
ticle in the Paris Temps of Decem
ber 6 is a valuable contribution to the
formation' of public Opinion' on the
senate reservations to the treaty of
Versailles, especially in view of the
fact that the Temps Is frequently
chosen by the French government as
a means of communicating its views
to the French people.
The injunction to Germany to which
It refers was a note from the supreme
council of the peace conference de
manding that Germany 8if?n the-pro-tocol
providing that it carry out the
armistice terms with which it has not
yet complied and warning Germany
that, in case of .failure to sign, the
supreme council will be constrained
to adopt measures of coercion of a
military order.
The Temps article reads:
"VThy should the allies be obliged
to send to Germany the injunction
approved by the supreme council to
day? First of all, this is because the
treaty of Versailles has not yet been
ratified by the United States.
"The German military men and dip
lomats think that the front of the
allies is broken. This fact causes
them to be bold, and It is necessary
to bring them back to reason.
"Why is it that no one seems to
know how the league of nations can
be made to function, how the pact
which guarantees France against Ger
man aggression can be put into effect,
how Europe can obtain financial as
sistance from America? Why is it,
finally, that no one seem-; to know
either how to repair the ravages of
war or to maintain the stipulations of
the peace? The reason is. first of all.
because no one knows if the United
States will ratify the treaty of Ver
sailles. "American intervention was a pow
erful contribution to victory. Will
not American abstention at the pres
ent time compromise the fruits of
victory?
"The danger lies here. Now let us
seek for its underlying cause. Why
Is the treaty of Versailles not yet
ratified by the United States?
No Objection to Preamble.
'The answer is as follows: Because
of the reservations that the Amer
ican senate has voted. But these re
serves who in Paris has read them?
"We are publishing a complete
translation of them today. Do they
destroy the bases of the treaty as
people are saying? Rather than ac
cept them, would it be better to get
along without American ratification?
Everybody can take the text In hand
and form his own opinion. While
waiting for this, let us express our
own.
"The 14 'reserve and interpreta
tions' of the American senate are
preceded by a preamble which di
rectly interests the allied powers.
The American ratification will not
take effect, declares the senate, until
three of the allied powers (England,
France, Italy and Japan) have ac
cepted by an exchange of notes the
reserved and interpretations voted
upon at Washington. This declara
tion of the senate brings up a ques
tion of form and a question of sub
stance. "As a matter of form, can the allies
accept the reserves and the interpre
tations formulated by the United
States? We don't see what could pre
vent them. Yesterday the supreme
council authorized the Jugo-Slav del
egation to formulate a reservation,
acceding to arrangements which are
fixed to the treaty of Saint Germain.
So there is a precedent. And if the
precedent did not exist, then it would
be necessary to invent one. No man
of good sense would admit of any rea
son to 'hesitate between a question of
form and -the ratification of the
United States.
"But there is still af question of
substance. Are the American reser
vations and interpre tationaiconcelved
in such mamier .that the allies should
be unable to fln'd. them valid? This
remains to be. eeen.
"In the fJCgti article of the treaty
of VersalUes'vfrhlch is also the first
article of te- pact or covertiant estab
lishing the league of nations it is
stipulated that 'each member of the
league, at two jjear notice, can
withdraw from the league';, provided
that up to this time, ftftljasi fulfilled
all of Its internationanrbbligations,
comprising those of tlfefpresent pact.'
The American senate interprets this
text in the following terms:
The United plates will be the sole judge
of whether Its International obligations
and ail of the obligations imposed by the
present pact have been fulfilled.
"This interpretation is not contrary
to the treaty. Furthermore, one may
ask what is the force that will retain
the United States In the league of na
tions if, after two years' notice, they
consider that they have the absolute
right to withdraw?
Action of Conirreas Necessary.
"Article 10 of the treaty obliges the
signatories, as adherents of the league
of nations 'to maintain against out
side aggression the territorial In
tegrity and political independence of
all the members of the league." Fur
Don't Pamper
Your Stomach
Fear of Dyspepsia Robs the Entire
System of Necessary Nutriment.
Eat a Diversified Meal and
With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets You Will Avoid the
Distress of Indigestion.
Just because the stomach sours
with gassiness, heartburn, water
brash and such distresses after eat
ing. Is not a good reason for depriv
ing the system of nourishment.
Instead of indigestible and innu
tritlous bran and skim milk try the
better plan of eating what you like
and follow your meals with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. They digest food,
they assist the stomach to secrete
juices that keep the stomach sweet,
active and with the alkaline effect.
Just as when the stomach Is in per
fect health. Nor is it necessary to
discriminate. You may eat freely of
onions, sausage, mince pie and baked
beans, or other dishes, such as the
average dyspeptic views with horror,
and suffer no distress if you follow
with Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets.
There is thus no need to fear any
kind of food at any time or -place,
for with these tablets, you may pre
vent those distresses that formerly
made you pamper your stomach as
if It were a tender infant. You can
get Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets In any
drug store at 50 cents a box. Adv.
thermore, in case this matter should
come up, there are other articles
which necessitate armed intervention.
The American senate declares that
there shall be no question of armed
intervention except in case congress,
'in virtue of the constitution, shall
have the exclusive power to declare
war, or authorize the employment of
the military and naval forces of the
United States.' This is perfectly evi
dent: Article 7 of the American con
stitution gives to congress the "ex
clusive power to declare war" as well
as the power 'to raise and maintain
armies,' and to 'constitute and main
tain a navy:' No treaty, no pact could
constrain the United States to use
their armed forces without the neces
sary approbation of congress.
"It is by ylrtue of an analogous
idea that the senate, in its eleventh
reserve, claims for the United States
the right to decide whether or not
there should' be a severance of rela
tions, commercially or otherwise,
with a country which might make
war contrarlly to the pact of the
league of nations. If the United
States did not reserve this power of
decision, it might be drawn into a
war without giving congress oppor
tunity to deliberate.
"The third, seventh and ninth re
serves do not call for any discussion
on our part. They prescribe that the
president shall consult congress be
fore accepting a mandate for foreign
territory, before engaging to pay any
expenses for the league of nations,
and before sending delegates to any
commissions, committees or other or
ganizations in which the United States
should be represented.
France Claims Same Right.
"The fourth and fifth reserves are
more important. The United States
maintains that It has the exclusive
right to decide what questions fall
under their internal jurisdiction" and
outside of all intervention on the
part of the league of nations or of
any foreign power. They declare
themselves resolved to interpret in
their own way their 'policy common
ly known as the Monroe doctrine.'
But are there any among the allied
powers which might look for a
quarrel with the United States on this
point? It would not be France, and
this is certain: France is firmly re
solved, for her part, to decide for
herself which are the questions that
come exclusively within her internal
jurisdiction.
"Should there be any objection to
the eighth reservation, from which it
results that the restrictions upon
commerce with Germany made by de
mand of the commission on repara
tions shall only be valid after being
sanctioned by the American congress?
Should the Americans be refused the
right, proclaimed by the tenth re
serve, to enlarge their armaments
without the consent of the council of
the league of nations "whenever the
United States might be menaced or
engaged in a war?" Article 8 of the
pact is worded in such a way that
no state belonging to the league of
nations shall be forced to limit its
armaments in the way indicated by
the council. If a state accept this
limitation, nevertheless, without its
being obligatory, could this state be
forbidden to transgress the limita
tion whenever it might find Itself in
peril?
"In its 14th reservation, the Amer
ican senate declares that the United
States shall not consider .itself bound
by the decisions of the league of na
tions as long as one of the states be
longing to the league shall have more
than one vote because of the voice of
dominions or of other countries which
are allied to it politically. France
would not be able to protest against
this scruple, since she did not demand
that Algeria and French protectorates
should be represented in the league
of nations by delegates whose voices
would be added to her own.
Shantung Rmenratlen Hsnnlem.
"There remains finally, beside the
12th and 13th reservations, which do
not appear to raise any difficulty, the
famous reservation No. 6, which is
relative to Shantung. The formula is
a radical one, and. If China had signed
the treaty of Versailles it would be
necessary to avow that the far ori
ental part of the treaty is overhrown!
The United States refuse their consent
to articles 156, 157 and 158 and reserve
entire liberty of action on matters arising
from any eventual controversy over the
said articles between the republic of China
and the empire of Japan.
"But the articles in question apply
to Chinese territory, and China has
not signed. Practically, and even ac
cording to the text, everything is
still in suspense. The American dec
laration does not change the existing
situation In any respect. The rights
of all parties rest Intact." Japan re
mains in possession of the object in
litigation. The American reserve does
not overthrow anything, since nothing
has been constructed. And is it for
this that we should refuse the ratifi
cation, of the United States, this rat
ification upon which, perhaps, the
entire peace depends?
"It has been represented that the
reservations of the United States were
a disavowal of the work accomplished
by the conference of Paris. It has
been represented that the United
States desired to signify in this man
ner its Intention of taking no further
interest in Europe nor in the peace.
To this unwholesome legend It Is
time to oppose the truth. .
Reservations Are Very Wide.
"Even if they should require that
the pact of the league of nations be
retouched in two or three places
(they can be amended regularlv bv
the force of article 26), the reserva
tions of the United States do not con
tain anything which authorizes the
allies to reject a ratification offered
under such conditions; they contain,
on the contrary, certain very wise in
terpretations which we will find It to
our interest to sanction. Let French
opinion, which has finally become en
lightened, express Itself bodly."
REIT TRIAL IS SET
MERRILL WOOLGKOWEBS SAID
TO HAVE ABUSED FLAG.
Defendants Deny Charge That
Plaintiff Was Beaten Because
of "Treachery to Ireland."
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Jan. 3.
(Special.) The trial on assault and
battery charges against Dan Bres
nan, D. J. C. Murphy and Dave Breen,
Merrill wool growers, has been set
by Justice Chapman for Monday. The
trio are accused of an attack on
John Denehy, another wool grower.
Because of general feeling against
them at Merrill, roused by the ac
cusation that during the fight they
profanely abused the American flag
and government, a change of venue
was secured to the local court.
Defendants deny the disloyal lan
guage attributed to them, or that they
attacked Denehy because they con
sidered bis recent application for citi
zenship an act of "treachery to Ire
land." They say Denehy's refusal of
overtures from Bresnan to end a
long-standing feud was coupled with
a challenge to fight. When Denehy,
alluding to his citizenship petition,
declared, "I am fighting under the
American flag," Bresnan, according
to his version, replied, "To hell with
you and the American flag," but as
serts the remark was not made with
disrespectful Intent toward the flag
or government.

Your
No One Remedy L
Applicable to Every Hair
and Scalp Trouble
I base this statement on science and
forty years' study and research work
on conditions of the hair and scalp,
says Prof. John H. Austin of Chicago,
The particular trouble with which your hair and scalp is afflicted
must, be known before it can be intelligently treated. For example,
one person may require an astringent, another a healing ointment,
another an antiseptic for an itching scalp (which is caused by
vegetable parasites), and still another to relieve an excessive oily
condition.
Prof Austin says that using dandruff cures, tonics, mange cures,
etc., without the proper advice, is like taking medicine without
knowing what you are trying to cure.
With the aid of a powerful microscope Prof. Austin is able to
quickly determine the exact cause of the trouble, and will tell
each one what is best to do in his or her particular case.
During the past two years Prof. Austin has made over 10,000
free microscopic examinations of the hair and scalp of patrons and
has on file hundreds of unsolicited testimonials.
