Washington, Aug. 16, — Twenty republican senators are ready to "stand for quick ratification of the peace treaty with reservations, demo- aratic leaders in the senate have been informed Wy the leaders of the repub- lican group of reservation advocates. Republigans favoring reservations said a poll disclosed that upwards of 30 senators of their party would support reservatiol long the: gen- eral lines lald downidy the seven re- publicans if the treaty could be Jbrought promptly ofit ofs committee and ratified on that-basis. Although Senator Hitchcock, Ne- braska, the administration leader, still’ disclajmed any part in the ne- gotiations for a settlement, it was apparent that the move had reached proportions which might threaten the plans of the committee for call- ing additional witnesses and prolong- ing consideration of the treaty. WET WEATHER DELAYS SALVATION ARMY DRIVE Activity in the Salvation Army home service drive. has been delayed, owing to the continued rains which has rendered it practically impossible for the various committees to com- plete their canvass. No returns have been réceived from the country out- side of Bemidji. The amount alloted for Bemidji is $3,500, of which $2,000 in cash has been subscribed and $400 in pledges made, leaving the quota about $1,100 below the normal. W. L. Brooks, who is in charge of the Elks drive for the Salvation Army, says in connection with the doughnut drive next Monday: “Ev- ery family should buy one or two dozen doughnuts Monday, and pur- chasers should pay all they can spare for each dozen. If a pretty sales girl comes along with a basket on her arm, some persons could buy the entire basket. The more successful the doughnut day,” the less calls for subscriptions on the allotment of the Army drive.” CRUSH PROFITEERING OR CANADA WILL STRIKE (By United Press.) .Winnipeg, Aug. 16.—Canada will have to face a nation-wide strike this fall, unless the government crushes | profiteering, .is_ forecast in a resolu- tion passed-at.an executive meeting of the Imperial Veterans in Canada last night, a copy of which was for- warded to federal authorities. (By United Press.) Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 16. — Bight days of continuous golf—play for the national amateur championship of the United States—began here to- day on the course of the Oakmont club. It marked the first time in history that the United States Golf association has sanctioned Sunday competition, and was expected to draw many a protest from New Bng- land sections, where recently golf playing on Sunday was prohibited by law. Tomorrow there will be a trade trophy competition, squeezed in on Sunday because of the large number of entrants for the national title. Held in abeyance for two years be- cause of war conditions, the national title is proving more attractive this year than at any time in history. Officials have freely predicted that the record entry list would tee off today. Today’s play was to be a weeding- out’process at medal play, sixty-four survivors being scheduled to go on with medal play again on Monday. The surviving thirty-two will then ouen with match play which will be continued for five days. ARRESTS PLANNED FOR CHICAGO SUGAR MEN (By United Press.
