Senator, Accepts Challenge—Uproar
Soon Subsides and Debate Again
Rules   In   Upper   Chamber.
¦Washington.—After a sharp parlla¬ nientury sliirnil.'ih (luring wlilcli a vote on riUltication ot ttie peace treaty with Gerinnny w'ilhuut re.serva- tions for a time seemeil iinniincnt, the senate went back to lis regular order of business.
Formal consideration of the reser¬ vations reconimeniled hy the foreign relations  conimittee  was  then   begun.
An immediate vote on ralifl'ation witliout reservations hail lieen pro¬ posed by Senator Underwood, Demo¬ crat,  Alabama.
He acted after tho Itepulilican lead¬ er, Senator I.odu'e, M.issarhusetis, had Challenged the ailniiiiistnition lo maiie such  a  move.
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, the administration lender, intervened and a long argument ensued.
Senator Underuoiid's proposal fol¬ lowed dls<tission of parliamentary procedure which was attended hy great confusion. Half a dozen sena¬ tors frequently sought to speak at the same time.
Scnatoi*' Hitchcock finally accepted the challenge of Senator Lodge and made a motion the senate ratify tlie treaty without reservation. He tlun demanded a  roll  call.
Instead of proceeding to vote on Senator Hitchcock's motion, the sen¬ ate revived discussion on another pro¬ posal by Senator Hiclu'ock to rei>ort the treaty imme.rately fiom conimit¬ tee of the whole in order to consider resolutions of ratifi ation.
There was a wide dilTerence of opin¬ ion as to what wouUl he the status of the treaty should the resolution of ratitlcation witii re-ervatious attach¬ ed be defeated. Scimior Underwood said lie woulil vote umiiust' the resolu¬ tion couiainin;: i-i' cj-valions. Sena¬ tor Lodj-'e warned that if the treaty were re.iected wiili n'servaiions at¬ tached, the del:iy :lial wviuld follow would be "lhe di-lay  of death."
Mr. Hitchcock proposed an agree¬ ment that when resolutions of ratifi¬ cation were considered suhstitutes might be offered with or without re¬ servations, interpretations or ipialifi- cations.
Senator Lodge declared that could be done Immodialely. Senator Hitch¬ cock moved to have the treaty report¬ ed to the senate,
"That's an entirely different pro- positi<in," Senator Lodge ob.lected. "I cannot agree to n lot of stuff about advance  arraiigciiienls."
Heservlng the right to object to the unanimous consent agreement. Sena¬ tor Fall, Itepuhlican, .\ew .Mexico, and other Republicans, started a discus¬ sion as to the final effect should the ratification resolution fail. Senator Fall said it would mean rne treaty In a parliamentary sense was "dead for ever."
Senator Hitchcock then put his pro¬ posal for a ratification vote into the form of a motion. Further debate de¬ veloped during which Senator Len- root. Republican, Wisconsin, one of the "mild reservation' group, sug¬ gested unanimous consent might be obtained If It were stated In the agree¬ ment failure of fhe ratification reso¬ lution would leave the treaty In the same parliartentary status it occupied before.
Senator Fall objected to a vote on the resolution of ratification in com¬ mittee of the whole. To meet this objection Senator I'uderwood agreed to have the vote taken In the senate, but after further discussion Senator Jones, Republican, Washington, ob¬ jected to the proposed agreement.
Senator Hitchcock's motion to re¬ port Ihe treaty and take up tbe ratifi¬ cation resolution fiiuilly was displac¬ ed by Senator Lodge's original motion to take up reservatlon.s.

TO  ITS  SERVICE  ME.V.
The supper for the Mora'vian "Ser- j vice Men" last Thursday evening, on Nov. 6th, in the social room of the Moravian Church, of Nazareth, will be noted on the calendar as a "Red Letter Day."
The chicken supper prepared by the ladies met the most hearty approval Oii the most fi'stidlouB, and left no opening for criticism. It was superb. That the boys enjoyed it needs no proof. It had all the concomitants of a genuine chicken supper, even the good old fashioned apple tart with Ice cream a la mode.
After the courses had been served the pastor. Rev. P. S. Meinert, acting ab toastmaster, in a few words, wel¬ comed the boys in a most hearty man¬ ner pronouncing the occasion a most hnppy and long looked for reunion.
He paid tribute to the boys for their loyalty and devotion to their country, and pleaded with them to transfer that spirit ot loyalty a'nd de¬ votion, manifested during the days of warfare, to the service of the Master Jesus Christ, who is now calling ijien and women to preserve the hard won victory, and to lead this world Into the paths ot righteousness, which alone brings true and lasting peace.
Major H. J. F. Reusswig also de¬ livered a' splendid address pleading with the boys to be taithtul to their church vows, and heed the call oE the Master tor loyalty aud obedience in service.
Mr. C. Frederick Martin, who had served as a Y. M. C. A. Secretary, fol¬ lowed with a strong and eloquent plea that the men not only heed the Master's call, but recognize the fact that their opportunity was right in this congregation and town. Ue also paid a glowing tribute to the pastor's efficient leadership. The addresses o' these two men made a deep im¬ pression.
After the supper a musical was giv¬ en in the Sunday-school room at 8 oclock. As the boys walked in the liTge audience rose and sang "Ameri¬ ca." After a few words of welcome from the pastor tho service flag ot 44 stars, one golden star, which had ad¬ orned the pulpit recess of the church up to this time, was put in a case and placed in the Sunday-school room—• was unveiled by the three surviving veterans, in the congregation, ot the Civil War—Lieut. Wm. H. Crawford, Wm. G. Venter and -Martin V. Pohl. The audience rose and sitng "The Bat. tie Cry of tho Republic."
The pastor then offered prayer, af¬ ter which a very fine musical pro¬ gram under the etficient leadership ot Miss Anna Kern, the organist, leader of Sunday-school orchestra and male chorus.
fhe Sunday-school orchesitra rend¬ ered several selections in a masterly manner. Miss -Mona Vanatta sang a solo. Miss Harriet Ueusswig pfayed a piano solo. Tromlione duett, Abra¬ ham S. Thaeler and Eugene Trein. The male chorus sang several selec¬ tions. Miss Leah Unangst and .Miss Sarah Heiney played a piano duett. Major Reusswig rendered a vocal sclo. The program closed with the singing of the "Star Spangled Ban¬ ner" by the audience. It was a hap¬ py occasion, and will be long remem¬ bered.

It is with much regret that many people of Washington county learn of the assignment ot Miss Esther Wot¬ ring, Assistant Home Demonstration Agent, to another county. Their heartiest congratulations go with her, however, in her well deserved promo- tiVin to the full charge ot Cecil coun¬ ty, Eastern Shore.
Miss Wotring, who has been In charge principally of the Girls Club work in this county, hals been the able assistant of the Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Sue Frick, since June 15, 1918, and since that time these two young women have cooperated In do¬ ing a wonderful work here.
A graudate with flrst honors of the Home Economics Department of Hood College, Miss Wotrlng, with the prac¬ tical capability shown here, is well able to take charge of the work in Cecil County, and although that coun¬ ty is not well organized and much re¬ sponsibility rests upon her, she will undoubtedly make a grand success of her new undertaking.
Tuesday morning Miss Wotrlng will leave for Carroll Co., where she will spend the remainder ot the week judging community e.\hiblts, and ad¬ dressing meetings ot the different community organizations. On Nov. 17, she will arrive in Elkton, the county seat ot Cecil county, and at once enter upon tho now duties.
The women and girls of this county with whom Miss Wotring has been associated while here, will without a doubt feel keenly the absence ot their pleasant and untiring assistant and instructress. She has always been kind, considerate and unselHsh in hor work and association with the peoiilo of Washington Co., and her attractive personality has mado friends o f everyone with whom she camo in con¬ tact.
All who have tho pleasure of know¬ ing .Miss Wotring wish her tho best ot luck and the greatest success i:i her work as County Homo nemr.ii- stration \gent of Cecil Co. May tlu- people ot that county soon realize what a grand prize I'ley havo drawn. —From tho Hagerstown Globe. Nov. \ Sth.
Miss Esther Wotring Is the daugh¬ ter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Wotring, of Nazareth. She is a graduate ot the Nazareth High School and has many friends in this vicinity who wish her success.

Despite the fact that rain made it necessary to call off the parade at the Armistice Day and "Welcome Home" celebration, al .N'azareth, ou Tuesday, yet the day was one of the most in¬ teresting ever held in tlie old Morav¬ ian town.
In line with celebrations of similar nature held all over the United States all .N'azareth turned out to pay hom¬ age to its soldiers and sailor sons who fought iu the World War, and have been brought back to take up their duties as civilians and flll t'je gaps that were occasioned when they entered the service of the United States to uphold the principles ot freedom, justice and democracy, vhich were threatened to be trampled upon by a nation whose scruples were corrupt and whose demeanor was a menace to the civilized world. The day was one of rejoicing and thank¬ fulness on tho part of those whose heroes have returned and who feel proud ot the part that Amreica play¬ er in the conflict, and on the other hand it was a day ot sadness on the part of those whose kin were martyrs t) the cause, a'nd who made the su¬ preme sacrifice in the fight for the freedom and democracy ot the world.
