"An body hero from Pennsylvania?"
A score or more men dropped their
newspapers and eyed the deep-chested
veteran who addressed them. Not ,a
man replied, and for a half minute the
ward, with Its maimed veterans of Chateau-Thierry
and other lights, wus ex
ceedingly niilet.
Tho silence was nlmost-deprcsslng, for
rarely does such M Illness prevail. It
puzzled tho chap who had put the qucs.
tlon, and, apparently to relievo (he tense
ness, he again bawled out, "Anybody
here from Pennsylvania?"
There was no response and the soldier
was peeved. Ho Is a Callfornlan and left
an arm on the field of Solssons. That
fact does not cause him much worry and
very little regret, but, being a natural
leader of men, he was dlsconscrted over
his fnlluro to malic good as a. ward crier.
Once ngaln he bawled 'Anybody here
from -Pennsylvania?" There was .no
reply, but the big California! was not
to be defeated. Throwing back his head
he cried out, "Kor God's salo don't bo
ashamed of It." ,
Sleepy Soldier Answer
That stirring sentence did tho trick.
It aroused a sleuy soldier' who slid off
his bed und stepped toward the Call
fnrninn. "I'm from Pennsylvania," he
'paid as ho nppioached tho big fellow.
Ills left arm was missing ana lie ex
plained that he had been sleeping.
He proved to bo Abe Goldberg, 2013

This veteran of Chateau-Thierry Is not
ashamed' of Pennsylvania, for he knows
ywhat tho Keystone boys did In the
fighting over there.
And nobody clso at tho Walter P.ced
Base Hospital in Washington, D. C Is
ashamed of Pennsylvania, for In every

PRESIDENT FACES
TILT WITH SENATE
OVER PEACE PLAN
Persistently Ignored by
Wilson in Preparations
for Pact of Nations
14 POINTS STILL MISTY
Appointment of McCall.Will
Not Relieve Resentment
of G. 0, P. Majority
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Correspondent of Evening Public
Ledger
Copurioht, mtf. !ii Public l.clucr Co.
Washington, Nov. 25.
President Wilson faces nn issue with
the Senate over peace, which lie will
not lessen by the selection of Goernor
McCull, of Massachusetts, ns the Re
publican member of the Pcaco Com
mission Governor McCull, who Is personally
ngrceable to tho President and a sup.
porfor of his pence policy. Is now wild
to be in tho li-ad among the KPpubll
cans for appointment to the commit
slon. Mr. McCall's appointment lll be
disagreeable to Senator Ixidge. who,
after March 4, will be chairman of the
Sennto Foreign Itelatlons Committee.
Mr. McCull also played a part In the
defeat of Senator Weeks In the recent
election. Senator Weeks Is popular
with his fellow-members of the Senate.
This will not hell) to make tho Mas
sachusetts Governor's appointment
agreeable to the Senate, especially to
the Republican majority of it.
Ignored by President
Hut the McCall issue, If it arises,
will only be superficial. More funda
mental Is the resentment in the
Senate over tho extent to which jt Is
being .Ignored by the President In his
preparations for making peace. The
cscnaior.s, who will luivo to accept or
few weeks ago, they did not know
what point three, about removing
eropomic barriers, meant until Sena
tor Martin and Senator Hitchcock
wrote, to the President and asked him
what it meant.
It is true that members of tho Sen
ate are no more in tho dark than arc
members of the Cabinet, who do not
know wh.A. the President1!) plans are.
who Is going to France on the Peace
Commission, what the President him
self Intends to do there, preclselywliat
the fourteen polnBt mean and many
other Interesting things. Tho Presi
dent is doing the whole thing him
self to an unusual extent, perhaps be
cause he is personally going to con
duct nil the Important negotiations
which look toward securing this coun
try's ends at Paris.
Taken as a Sllglil
Rut the fact that others are in the
dark does not niter the Senate's re
sentment. Tho President's decision
not to appoint any Senators of cither
party to the- peace commission looks
to the Senato like a slight, for usually
the Senate has been represented on
such commissions, tho advantage be
ing that when the treaties framed by
them have come up for ratification a
oertain knowledge of the situation
existed on the floor of the Senate It
self. A treaty thus made has Its
spokesmen, tho Senators of both par
ties who have helped to negotiate it.
When the coming treaty, or perhaps
treaties, of Versailles arc negotiated,
is the Senato to perform Its constitu
tional function, or is It to be a mere
rubber stamp? Unless the Senate Is
constantly informed of the progress of
negotiations and of the reasonsfor the
position taken by tho United Stutes
representatives, how can it act In
telligently when called upon to ratify?
Senators aro asking themselves these
questions and there is a Jlrm deter
mination among tho leaders of both
parties not to be put, with respect to
peace treaty or treaties, in the posi
tion in which they have been placed
repeatedly with respect to war legisla
tion nf tin nast two years.
If the President merely sends the
treaty or treaties to tho Senate when
they are finished and 'asks that they
bo ratified, there Is going to be a long,
hard fight over them. In .this fight.

was obtained today that the Ger

ers to tho rear to fatten them up
on good food before liberating them,
as a result of an investigation by
a. German prisoner commission,
which is afraid to permit the re
turn of tho Yankees In their pics
ent emaciated condition. The Amer
icans have been working for
months In mines fifteen miles from
the front, laboring eleven hours a

ing, according to officers who es
caped rather than wait for their de

According to thes'o officers, the

American forces have completed the
task of demolishing the barriers which
guarded the old German front eaht of
Verdun. The last barrier thuH encoun
tered consisted of re-enforced concrete
pillars stretching along the old front for
a distance of two miles. The pillars
were three feet npart at the roads and
Jfty feet apart across the country. They
were connected by two-Inch cables.
When the Americans crossed the front
lines last Sunday the advanced guards
were halted only a few minutes by tho
barriers. Engineers quickly placed a
few charges of dynamite under each
pillar, which made the roads passable.
Since then gangs working In relays have
foiled constantly to dlg.up Immense steel
rails and concrete foundations, which
were sl feet under ground, the rails
extending live feet above the ground, the
concrete being poured 'around them
Kach pillar was Ave feet square and ,
stood eight feet above the ground. The
pillars apparently were constructed a
ve.ir or more ago, as each was camou
flaged by reeds growing In nearby
swamps, the concrete being scarcelj no
ticeable from a distance.
At Slars-la-Tour, Just nt the edge of
the village, the Americans encountered
tank barriers, some of which were only,
half completed. A few blasts of dyna
mite soon put them out of commission.
At Ktaln the Germans had harriers of
logs chained together on four wheels,
the logs being movable like a gate. On
these barriers the Germans had In
stalled Ingenious devices to remove the
wheels from beneath the logs which
would then drop across the road at tho
main road entrance into Ktaln. This

' UPON SKIP-STOP
P. R. T. Version of Killing
j of Woman Contradicted
' by Merchant
'CHARGES RECKLESSNESS
j For twenty minutes after Jtrs. Thomas
;SmIth had been etruck and killed by a
trolley car just below a Ilapld Transit
( Company skip-stop point at Sixtieth and
( Catharine streets last Saturday not one
' motonnan passing the corner sounded
' njs Bong nor slackened the speed of his
!
car.
This ab.sertion was made today by
William O. Dobson, a hardware mer
chant, lit Sixtieth rtreet and Walton ave
nue, w ho declared he had purposely
watched the north and southbound trol
leys In Sixtieth street to "tali up" on
charges of reckless (.peed of motormen
'nnd their absolute disregard of crossings,
i T( charges, made by merchants
'
In Slxtloth -"(reel between Catharine and
Cedar avenue, have already been
I brought- to" tho attentlcn of the Itapld
( Transit Companj. which, however, has
announced that the pklp-stops will be
inalntained despite protests of the mer
chants.
Insert Skip-Stop Ih to Blame
Assertion of traction company officials
that the death of Mrs Smith did not
occur at a ship-stop were toda- denied
by merchants In thfc neighborhood w here
the woman was killed. Those who wlt
nebsed the accident Inslist that the trolley
which struct; and killed the woman
failed to lessen Its speed as It ncarvd
( ntharlne street, a skip-stop point, and
that Just as Mrt Smith was about to
cross sixtieth street below Catharine she
was hit and badly mangled. '
'"There have been frequent accidents
recently In the neighborhood," said Mr.
Dobson today, "wiucn were caused uy

B, skip-stop corners. We have cojn-
nialned to the Hanld Transit Cbmnany
but the perslutenr- answer has been that
the skip-stop scheme will be retained.
Many CompUInU
- "I particularly asked that the stop
at Catharine street be restored because
of the Inconvenience to which It sub
jected trolley passengers. But the com
pany announced Its; Intention to hang
on to the' fj-stem."
Mr. Dobson then told of "tabbing up"
on the speed of motormen.
"For fully twenty minutes," he said.'
"I stood In front of my store ahd
watched the north and south bound
trolleys And In all that time there
wasn't the sound of a gong alarm as the
cars heared the oorntr. Neither was
there any apparent attempt to lessen
tho speed of the cers."
Mr, Dobson declarer, that the entire
neighborhood Is aroused over the killing
of Mrs. smith wnicn, ne insists, might
have bn a-oldha'd the trolliv di--w
