SENATE SEEKING AN EARLY
VOTE ON PEACE TREATY.
Washington, November
"Hope lor speedy action on the
pfjicc treaty brightened again to
day v lien the senate voted down
one amendment, agreed to dispose
of two more tomorrow, and re
newed informal discussion of me
thods to hasten consideration of
reservat ions.
Tonight some of the more opti
mistic predicted a vote on ratifi
cation by the end of the week,
while the leaders on both sides
thought it likely to come within
ten days, at the latest.
In the background of all caleu
lat ions, however, was the possibi-i
iity of an eleventh-hour rally by
the treaty’s irreconcilable enemies
who have intimated more than
once that they were mindful of the
opportunity which might be pre
sented to talk off a final roll eail
until the session of congress ends
early in December.
Situation Doubtful One.
Altogether, the situation was a
doubtful one, but republican and i
democratic managers seemed con
fident that it soon would clear.
While debate continued today
they held many conferences and
found agreement everywhere ex
cept among the irreconcilables, it
was said, to bring every possible
pressure to bear for early action.
Tomorrow Democratic Leader Hit
chcock expects to ask unanimous
consent for a sharp limitation of j
debate and he believes it will be;
agreed to.
The amendment disposed of to
day’ was one by Republican Lead
er Lodge, to strike from the treaty
entirely the Shantung provision.
The vote was 41 to .36, the propos
al failing by the votes of virtually
the same senators who several
days ago defeated the committee
amendment on that subject.
There were only four change*'
in the senate line-up today on the
motion to strikeout the Shantung
clause as compared with the vote
oj ;>;> to ■ i.* on October 1(1 against
the original foreign relations com-
mitteo amendment to substitute
* hina lor “Japan” in "the
Shantung section. Senators < him
mins. and Kenyon, republicans, of
lowa, and Thomas, of Colorado,
and Shields, of Tennessee, demo
crats. voted against the committer
amendment but today voted to
sustain the Lodge motion.
The Referendum Amendment.
Early tomorrow action will be
nought on the amendment of Sen
ator Core, democrat. Oklahoma,
for a popular vote before any de
claration of war, and later the pro
posal of Senator LaPollette. re
publican. Wisconsin, to strike out
the treaty s labor provisions, will
come up under an agreement to
vote finally on it by p. m . These
are the only amendments now re-
maining before the senate, and I
their disposition will clear the wav
for work on reservations
Part of today's debate was on a
motion hv Senator Borah, repub
lican. Idaho to strike out Article
X. ot the league covenant, but he
withdrew the proposal after sug
gestion had been advanced for
changing the foreign relations
committee reservation on the sub
ject to meet his objection.
Besides limitation of debate to
fifteen-minute speeches, as propos
ed by Senator Hitchcock, various
expedients have been suggested to
insure prompt action. < hie of these
seriously considered bv some sen-
ators is that tlx* senate <ro into
WH-ret session in the hope that
spcoches will not he so numerous
t <>o long it they are not to he

day hy Saunders Norvell, of New

general session of the annual con
vention of the National Wholesale

“was an inspiration to American
chemists who delved into the mys
teries of drug synthesis and learn
ed the secrets of manufacture of
many drugs which the Germans
were formerly depended upon to
produce for trade in the United
States.”
Warning that the United States
could not take full advantage of
the volume of foreign trade offer

weights and measures was adopt
ed was voiced in an earlier ad

TYPHOID FEVER ON
DECREASE IN GEORGIA
From January Ist to September Ist.
1919. there were reported to the State
Board of Health by the County Health
uffiicM,. City Health Officers, the
various private practitioners of the
Stale Seven Hundred amt Sixty nine
cases of typhoid fever.
it is (ju’ie tine that all cases of
this disease ate not reported b> the
physicians, but the vast majority of
them are.
Possibly an annual ateiaae (or the
last ten years would have showed
more than four times the iitinihet te
ported title year. There is no way
of anrertafring the exact number for
any previous year, as the Georgia
State board of Health did not be
gin a systematic collection of these
reports of contagious anti infer tlous
diseases until January, 1919
Several factors have been vespon
aible for the decline m prevalence of
typhoid fever. Ist. a laige number
of sanitary privies have been install
ed in the section* where tuts dis
ease, had been quite a problem m tue
past. 2nd. a ls'>e quantity oi vift
me, both plain and mixed, has been
administered this year by the family
physicians and the health officers, up
to September 28rd, me State Board
of Health has sent out more than
160,00* doses This, by far, exceeds
the records for any other or.e year.
The largest nuinoer ot doses distnh
utc-d during ..y ;.;e. .# ytr.i was
about J1’0.0t..) during the year V:S.
*rd, the i ivision of Epidemiology of
tiie State Board of Health Las a sys
tem of educr ting the families where
cases of typhoid develop and where
the family physician reports it to
the Department; a bulletin nn typhoid
which trets briefly of its Frequen
cy and Fatality,” "Cause.” "Hew to
Avoid Typhoid Fever,” "Sanitary
Privies,” Flies, Hood Water Sup
plies,” "Typhoid Carriers," Value of
Vaccination,” "Precautions During
Couiee of the Disease," and "Piecau
uons on Termination of the Disease.”
The department does not mail these
bulletins to counties or cities having
active heal'b orgumiation, but allow
these departments to handle these
diseases a. they set best.
The disease is on the decrease in
•he state even now. The largest
number of cases reported during any
one week was for week ending June
28th, with 76 cases, while for week
ending August 30tb, there were only
40 cases reported.
This is the time of year typhoid is
usualy most prevalent, but with the
proper precautions from now until Oc
tober ISth, we can bring about even a
greater decrease.
Typhoid fever in Georgia ie soon
to be a thing of history, it will, in
the near future, he driven completely
l'rom our midst.
All other contagious aDd infectious
diseases can be handled in the same
manner when we wish to endure them
no longer. Diphtheria, Whooping
Cough, Scarlet Fever, Venereal Dis
eases, Dysentery and many others will
follow typhoid fever and Kaiser Bill
when they are fought with the same
determined efforts.

Friday morning .John Henry
I teas, a negro employed to sweep
up the bank building, was arrest
ed and charged with the crime.
Lucas had dropped a bale of eot
ton on his foot and was unable to
wear a shoe, the foot, being ban
daged. Thursday night the ground
was wet and the imprint of the
cloth bandage on the negro’s foot
was plainly disceraable on the
bank floor.
It seems that before leaving the
building Thursday afternoon Lu
cas had pulled the fastenings of
tin rear window and naturally
his act went undetected, as no
such thing was anticipated hy the
bank employees. Lucas probably
thought the sack contained some
thing more valuable than pennies,
but all the other money was. of
course, in the time lock safe.
dohn Henry Clarke was arrest
ed a-; an accomplice of Lucas. Lu

Clarke, who is said to have been
on watehh for Lucas, stoutly den
