Democrat Bolts—Treaty Now Goes to Senate, With Four Amend¬ ments Already Adopted. Washington.—In an alignment thnt Involved a break In party ties, the For¬ eign Relations Committee of the senate voted to report the peace treaty with four reservations and thirty-eight di¬ rect aniondinonts. The vote cnme nfter a secret session lasting four hours. In tho vote on the reservntlons, all of which pertained to the League of Nations covenant. Sena¬ tor .Shields, Deiiiocrnt, of Tennessee, aligned himself with the Republican ninjorlty on all but one, which provid¬ ed against the United States being bound by the stipulation to engage in wars of foreign nations under ar¬ ticles 10 nnd 11. On this he did not vote. Senntor Shields's attitude came ns a surprise to his Democratic a.sso- cliites on the connnltteo. Senator McCundier, Itepubllcan, of North Dakota, voted with the Demo- cials ngalnst tho reservation on the withdrawal provision of the'treaty and also against that touching articles 10 and It. After the coininlttee's nction Senator Lodge, its cluilriiian, said thnt he would start to prepare llie majority report, which will be offered with the treaty, a* once. The four reservations summarized are: 1. To provide Hint the United States, under the two years' withdrawal clause, mny decide for Itself if its ob¬ ligations under the league covenant have been fulfilled, Instead of having this determined by tbe league council. 2. That the United States, through Congress, shall determine If its armed forces are to be employed In wars aris¬ ing out of aggression against the ter¬ ritorial Integrity or political Inde¬ pendence of members ot the league, or any other Issue that may arise be¬ tween natirms. 3. The United States reserves the right to determine for Itself all do¬ mestic questions, the league council having no power to intervene In any dispute arising out of them. 4. The United States determines for Itself the Interpretation and enforce¬ ment of the Monroe Doctrine. These reservations are much along the line of thoso projected by Ellhu Root, except that as to article 10, which Mr. Root suggested ought to be eliminated. All of thei^ except that involving articles 10 nnd 11 are simi¬ lar In nnture to those promulgated by the so-called mild reservatlonlsts. Senntor McCumber voted against the withdrawal clause, he explained, because of Its phraseology. As to the reservation on articles 10 and 11, he explained, he considered that It went too far. He will offer a substitute for the two reservations on the floor of the senate after the treaty Is re¬ ported. Senntor Lodge spoke of Mr. Mc- Cumber's opposition to the two reser¬ vations as embracing "merely the phrasing nnd not tho principle." Sen¬ ator Shields, for liliiisolf, said he fa vored the idea conveyed In the reser¬ vation on articles 10 and 11, but pre¬ ferred a different wording. The 38 direct amendments are those adopted earlier by tho majority of the committee. In effect, there are only four of them, for thlrty-flve offered by Senntor Fall of New Mexico, touch upon the same point. These four amendments have been adopted by the committee, by a par¬ tisan vote. In the last two weeks. Sen¬ ator McCumber voted against all of them, as they came up. with the Demo¬ crats, who stood solidly In opposition. The Fall amendments, whlcb touch 85 points In the treaty where com¬ missions, other than tbe Reparations Commission, are mentioned, were vot- sd upon en bloc In the committee and will go to the senate, therefore, as ine amendment.

Melnert preached un impressive sermon. Tho Sunday- school began to hold its session in the atternoon. The large orchestra certainly rouses interest in the work ot the school. The children received an extra drill in the hymns that they were to sing for their parents in Love Feast. There was a marked im¬ provement in the good order ot the school. The solo by Mlss Mona Vanatta was well received. It speaks well when the young people ot the ehurch give of their best in the service ot the King. Nearly 400 people were present at the lovefeast. At night there was the celebration of the Lord's Supper for the married people; about 200 were present. Dr. Thaeler of Nazareth Hall assisted the pastor and led in the opening prayer.

Attacking Forces, Numbering About Twenty, Used Revolvers. Belfast.—A party of 18 soldiers ra- tnmlng to barracks from cburch at Fermoy was attacked from ambnsh. One soldier was killed add three were wounded. The others were overpow¬ ered. Tbe attacking forces, which appear¬ ed to number about 20, nted revolvers. They took all the soldiers' rifles and quickly left the scene In automobiles which, were waiting for tbem. Vienna.—The Nntlonal Assembly, by a vote of 97 to 23, decided to sign tbe peace treaty. The assembly, however, protested against "the violation of Austria's right of free disposal of her¬ self." The German Notionalists voted against slgnlBf the treaty, while some members of the SoutlTTyrolese party abstained from voting. The vote was taken after adoption without dissent of the government's resolution of pro¬ test, presented by the Cbrlstlan Social¬ ist Hauser, declorlng tliat the terri¬ torial clauses of tbe treaty violated grossly tbe national claim to self-deter¬ mination and tbe basis on which tbe armistice was concluded. "We rolse once more onr voices," says the resolution, "against a peace founded on brute force. As one man we decline the dividing up of onr peo¬ ples Into free and unfree, as Is done by this peace. We further declare tbat the 4,000,000 Germans forced under foreign rule will for all time Insist on self-determination as tbe only possible basis on which the modem state may b^ founded." Tbe resolution also declares that ul¬ timate union with Germany as an abso¬ lute necessity and expresses the hope that when the hatred of the war dies down this union will be consummated. It ends by placing responsibility for steeping Europe In revolution and con¬ fusion on th* shoulders of the Entente and looks to the League of Nations to repair tbe wrong done.

The capes are also black and faced with a'stri- can and trimmed with a red cord, the busby which is also of wihte as- trican with a red top and white tas¬ sel has also a metal covered chin strp. High black leather boots are also a part ot the uniform. The uni¬ form worn by E. Schneebeli, the con¬ ductor, is made up ot white serge trimmed wilh white braid. The organization purchased 38 uni¬ forms at a cost of $65.00 per suit, and this amount was raised by sub¬ scription, donations, etc., through the coirrtesies and influence of Q. S. Leo¬ pold, who is very much interested in this new organization. The band is composed of musicians trom Nazareth, Bath, Edelmans atid the surrounding vicinity, and all in¬ dications are that the organization will in a very short time become one of the foremo.i;t in the county.

Washington.—Without a record vote the senate passed the dry bill provid¬ ing for the legal enforcement of war time prohibition throughout tlie land during the Intervening period between the present and the coming Into effect of the constitutional amendment on January 10, lO'JO. Owing to the fact tliat no demand was made for a roll cnll the extent of the opposition to the measure as modified by the senate upon the frame¬ work of the moderately drastic meas¬ ure paSsed by the house will never be known. Toward the close of the considera¬ tion of the dry bill a contest was pre¬ cipitated by Senator Shields (Tenn.), who offered an amendment providing thnt the provisions of title one of the proposed law, referring to the enforce ment ot war time prohibition, should not apply exf<iJt to states in which no demobilization encampments are situated. The vote on Senator's Shield's sug¬ gested amendment (!i.'?elosed him to be Its only serious supporter. .\n amendment by Senator Jones (Wash.) prohibiting Importation or s.':le of Intoxicating beverages In tho Panama Canal Zone was adopted without 0 division, but the senate re¬ jected Senator Curtls's (Kan.) amend¬ ment wiiich would have taken from the enforcing authorities discretion as to imposition of penalties ranging from fines of .^lOO to 51,0(X) to Imprisonment from thirty days to a yenr.

The baby par¬ ade commenced promptly at 4 p. m. and consisted of comic floats, comic costumes, etc. The baby parade was also one ot the largest held in this vicinity.

Lodge Committee Finishes Its Work. Democrat Bolts—Treaty Now Goes to Senate, With Four Amend¬ ments Already Adopted.
Washington.—In an alignment thnt Involved a break In party ties, the For¬ eign Relations Committee of the senate voted to report the peace treaty with four reservations and thirty-eight di¬ rect aniondinonts.
The vote cnme nfter a secret session lasting four hours. In tho vote on the reservntlons, all of which pertained to the League of Nations covenant. Sena¬ tor .Shields, Deiiiocrnt, of Tennessee, aligned himself with the Republican ninjorlty on all but one, which provid¬ ed against the United States being bound by the stipulation to engage in wars of foreign nations under ar¬ ticles 10 nnd 11. On this he did not vote. Senntor Shields's attitude came ns a surprise to his Democratic a.sso- cliites on the connnltteo.
Senator McCundier, Itepubllcan, of North Dakota, voted with the Demo- cials ngalnst tho reservation on the withdrawal provision of the'treaty and also against that touching articles 10 and It.
After the coininlttee's nction Senator Lodge, its cluilriiian, said thnt he would start to prepare llie majority report, which will be offered with the treaty, a* once.
The four reservations summarized are:
1. To provide Hint the United States, under the two years' withdrawal clause, mny decide for Itself if its ob¬ ligations under the league covenant have been fulfilled, Instead of having this determined by tbe league council.
2. That the United States, through Congress, shall determine If its armed forces are to be employed In wars aris¬ ing out of aggression against the ter¬ ritorial Integrity or political Inde¬ pendence of members ot the league, or any other Issue that may arise be¬ tween natirms.
3. The United States reserves the right to determine for Itself all do¬ mestic questions, the league council having no power to intervene In any dispute arising out of them.
4. The United States determines for Itself the Interpretation and enforce¬ ment of the Monroe Doctrine.
These reservations are much along the line of thoso projected by Ellhu Root, except that as to article 10, which Mr. Root suggested ought to be eliminated. All of thei^ except that involving articles 10 nnd 11 are simi¬ lar In nnture to those promulgated by the so-called mild reservatlonlsts.
Senntor McCumber voted against the withdrawal clause, he explained, because of Its phraseology. As to the reservation on articles 10 and 11, he explained, he considered that It went too far. He will offer a substitute for the two reservations on the floor of the senate after the treaty Is re¬ ported.
Senntor Lodge spoke of Mr. Mc- Cumber's opposition to the two reser¬ vations as embracing "merely the phrasing nnd not tho principle." Sen¬ ator Shields, for liliiisolf, said he fa vored the idea conveyed In the reser¬ vation on articles 10 and 11, but pre¬ ferred a different wording.
The 38 direct amendments are those adopted earlier by tho majority of the committee. In effect, there are only four of them, for thlrty-flve offered by Senntor Fall of New Mexico, touch upon the same point.
These four amendments have been adopted by the committee, by a par¬ tisan vote. In the last two weeks. Sen¬ ator McCumber voted against all of them, as they came up. with the Demo¬ crats, who stood solidly In opposition.
The Fall amendments, whlcb touch 85 points In the treaty where com¬ missions, other than tbe Reparations Commission, are mentioned, were vot- sd upon en bloc In the committee and will go to the senate, therefore, as ine amendment.

.M.VKlllEU I'EOPLE CELEUUATE LO\KFEAST.
On Sunday, Sept 7 tlip ^Io^avian Church celebrated the day ot coven¬ anting and paryer tor the married people. Kev. P. S. Melnert preached un impressive sermon. Tho Sunday- school began to hold its session in the atternoon. The large orchestra certainly rouses interest in the work ot the school. The children received an extra drill in the hymns that they were to sing for their parents in Love Feast. There was a marked im¬ provement in the good order ot the school. The solo by Mlss Mona Vanatta was well received. It speaks well when the young people ot the ehurch give of their best in the service ot the King. Nearly 400 people were present at the lovefeast.
At night there was the celebration of the Lord's Supper for the married people; about 200 were present. Dr. Thaeler of Nazareth Hall assisted the pastor and led in the opening prayer.
After the communion the choir and young people ot the church toliowing the quaint but beautiful custom, sang from tlie bell tower, many lingered In the square to listen and thought ot the times of struggle and trail, of prayer and economy, which had been the portion of their parents during the formative years of their lives.
Resolutions were formed to rej)ay a* tar as possible, in sympathy, love und trust, tho loved one for their sacrifices.

SOLDIERS SLAIN IN IRELAND.
Attacking Forces, Numbering About Twenty, Used Revolvers.
Belfast.—A party of 18 soldiers ra- tnmlng to barracks from cburch at Fermoy was attacked from ambnsh. One soldier was killed add three were wounded. The others were overpow¬ ered.
Tbe attacking forces, which appear¬ ed to number about 20, nted revolvers. They took all the soldiers' rifles and quickly left the scene In automobiles which, were waiting for tbem.
Vienna.—The Nntlonal Assembly, by a vote of 97 to 23, decided to sign tbe peace treaty. The assembly, however, protested against "the violation of Austria's right of free disposal of her¬ self."
The German Notionalists voted against slgnlBf the treaty, while some members of the SoutlTTyrolese party abstained from voting. The vote was taken after adoption without dissent of the government's resolution of pro¬ test, presented by the Cbrlstlan Social¬ ist Hauser, declorlng tliat the terri¬ torial clauses of tbe treaty violated grossly tbe national claim to self-deter¬ mination and tbe basis on which tbe armistice was concluded.
"We rolse once more onr voices," says the resolution, "against a peace founded on brute force. As one man we decline the dividing up of onr peo¬ ples Into free and unfree, as Is done by this peace. We further declare tbat the 4,000,000 Germans forced under foreign rule will for all time Insist on self-determination as tbe only possible basis on which the modem state may b^ founded."
Tbe resolution also declares that ul¬ timate union with Germany as an abso¬ lute necessity and expresses the hope that when the hatred of the war dies down this union will be consummated. It ends by placing responsibility for steeping Europe In revolution and con¬ fusion on th* shoulders of the Entente and looks to the League of Nations to repair tbe wrong done.
Parts.—The Austrian delegation at St Germain Informed the French peace mission that It received notice tbat Austria has accepted the peace treaty, and thot Dr. Karl Renner, head of tbe Austrian delegation, is charged with signing tbe document.
the y. M. C. A. Band, ou Saturday evfnitnjg made its first appearance in thQ^!«bw unUorms, and created a de¬ cidedly fine impression as it paraded about the town, serenading various fcatruus of the organization. The uniforms are very attractive,, they are made of black broad cloth trim¬ med with red and white. The capes are also black and faced with a'stri- can and trimmed with a red cord, the busby which is also of wihte as- trican with a red top and white tas¬ sel has also a metal covered chin strp. High black leather boots are also a part ot the uniform. The uni¬ form worn by E. Schneebeli, the con¬ ductor, is made up ot white serge trimmed wilh white braid.
The organization purchased 38 uni¬ forms at a cost of $65.00 per suit, and this amount was raised by sub¬ scription, donations, etc., through the coirrtesies and influence of Q. S. Leo¬ pold, who is very much interested in this new organization.
The band is composed of musicians trom Nazareth, Bath, Edelmans atid the surrounding vicinity, and all in¬ dications are that the organization will in a very short time become one of the foremo.i;t in the county.
