Outing Takes Queen Mary took her usual after- noon outing today. Accompanied by Princess Mary and Viscount Las. celles, her majesty visited the ~oo. To this cheerful sign was added the fact that Lord Dawaon of Penn did not visit his royal patient at the usual hour this afternoon and no interim report regarding the king was issued.

Salvage Attempts on Liner: Celtic Futile Liverpool, Eng. Dec. 19 P— While it is now feared that further attempts to salvage the liner Celtic stranded off Roche's Point, near Cobh, are likely to prove futile sal- vage operations to recover what Is possible of the cargo will be con- tinued whenever the weather per- mits. “The trouble is that the Celtic lles in such an exposed position that the possible times we can work on her are few,” said an official of the Liverpool and Glasgow Salvage as- sociation which is working on the liner. “Much of her cargo which consists of metal, wheat and 30,000 barrels of apples and pears is likely to become worthless before we can get at it.” Most of the cargo owners were in- sured, he sald, the loss thus falling on the cargo underwriters. RUNAWAY GIRL TAKEN BACK T0 R. 1. SCHOOL Eva May Brice, Arrested in House in This City, Returned to Institution. Representatives of the Oakland school at Howard, R. I, came to this city yesterday afterncon and took Eva May Brice back with them, she having run away from the school several months ago. Before she was turned over to them by the police, the consent of Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods was obtained, on ac- count of the fact that Miss Brice's case in police court will not be dis- posed of until tomorrow. Miss Brice, who is colored and 18 years of age, told the police last Fri- day night that she was at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Fernando of 39 Lilac street for two weeks entertain- ing white men, but in police court yesterday she repudiated the state- ment and Judge M. D. Saxe reserved decision in her case and that of Mrs. Fernando. He will make known his finding In court tomorrow, A volunteer defense force is to be formed by the Irish Free State in addition to the regular army and rational reserves. (Continued from First Page) United States declares that in ad- vising and consenting to the multi. lateral treaty it does so with the un- | derstanding: “1—That the treaty does not im- pair or abridge the right of the United States to defend its territory or other vital interests in accordance with the traditional American poli- clea “2—That the treaty imposes no obligation in the United States to resort to coercive or punitive meas- ures against any offending nation. “3—That the treaty does not obli- gate the United States to the condi- tions of any treaty to which the United States is not & party. “4—The secretary of state is re- quested to forward a copy of this resolution to the representatives of the the other powers' Senator Borah presented treaty and the resolution separately, first placing the pact before the senate, Both propositions were put on the executive calendar. When they will be taken up is undecided. The activity of Senator Borah in getting the treaty out of committee by the process of a poll yesterday has dissipated a threatened fight against the taking up of the naval bill. Treaty proponents were ready to balk a move for the naval bill un. til the pact got out of committee. Leaders are becoming doubtful of the prospect for final action on eith- er the naval bill or the treaty before the Christmas recess sets in Satur- day. The prison labor measure still has the right of way and when this is disposed of the navy measures comes up, Although ordered to the senate, the treaty still faces the attempt of those who would send an “interpre- tative” resolution along with its ratification. Benator Moses, republi- can, of New Hampshire, the author of the resolution, has an agreement whereby the resolution also was or- dered out of the foreign relations committee “without recommenda- tion.” This places it before the sen- ate for consideration along with the treaty and the band of “revolution- ists" were at work today assembling their forces. Benator Reed of Missourl, and Bayard of Delaware, both democrats, voted against reporting out the peace pact. They with Senators Moses and McLean, republican, of Connecticut, who voted “present” on the poll, form the nucleus of those backing the Mosés resolution. This group conferred yesterday for some time on modifications in the resolution and took into consulta- tion Senators Johnson, republican, California, and Pittman, democrat, Nevada, two members of the com. mittee who voted for reporting the pact. While there is no agreement, there is an understanding in the sen- ate that both the peace treaty and the naval bill will be taken up in the regular order and each allowed to come to a vote. Confidence has been expreased at the White House that both proposi- tions will receive overwhelming sup- e — OPEN Friday, December 21st Bring in the children to see our Christmas tree, and allow us to wish you personally A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR sonsf Build and Help Build Com THE MERC TRUST CO.

However, President Coolldge appears to be in for trouble in his request that the senate eliminate the clause in the navhl measure passed by the house requiring completion of the ships within three years. Chairman Hale of the senate naval committee and Senator 8wanson, of Virginia, the ranking democrat on the committee, are both opposed to this elimination, which Mr. Coolidge EXPECT MRS.
