Senate debate on the peace treaty rose to the bit terest point today since the docu ment was presented by President Wilson. Facing at a distance of a few feet Senator Fall, republican, New Mexico, who had just asserted that Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, had in his address yesterday on Shantung defended on the ground of justice the award td Japan of "goods stolen from China," the North Dakota senator declared that the assertion was "unquali fiedly false," and that he had not justified Germany's action. This brought a quick retort from Senator Fall that Senator McCum ber had defended the Shathung pro vision and had claimed that Japan had the right to take Shantung. By this time both senators had raised their voices to a high pitch and were pounding their desks. Senator McCumber, replying shouted to Sen ator Fall that Japan derived the right to Shantung under a solemn pledge to return it, "but you leave that out or your statement," referr ing to the assertion regarding Jap an's unqualified right. Nelson Interrupts. Previously Senator Fall, who was defending the action of the foreign relations committee in adopting an amendment to give German rights in Shantung to China instead of to Japan, was interrupted by Senator Nelson, republican, Minnesota, who declared if the committee had made "mince meat" of the treaty, the sen ate would brush the action aside. When Senator Fall said he would not enter into discussion with the Minnesota senator because of the latter's age, Senator Nelson re snnnHpH that the senator could con sider himself "the youngest man irii the senate" and as one who was "neither in his second childhood in this matter nor in the Mexican matter." Further defending the committee's vote on the Shantung amendment, Senator Fall said he was weary of some who wished to make the na tion accept the treaty -"just as it came from the WhTt House type writer with no mofe consideration for the American people than was shown the Germans when they signed at the point of the bayonet."

The' foreien relations committee in a meeting preceding tlfe senate session was unable to proceed with its consideration of proposed amend ments and will begin tomorrow an extended schedule of open hearings.

(By Univer sal Service.) Antwerp is in the throes of a diamond fever such as has never been known anywhere be fore. Not less than six diamond clubs have been opened in the last three months. These are clubs only in name, for they have nothing of the usual comfortable accommodations gen erally associated with such institu tions. Their main feature is a large room filled with rows of small ta bles. The room looks for all the world like a card playing etasblish ment. It is the guests, however, who present the strangest appearance. There are smart young men dress ed in the latest styles, and important looking men bearing the, unmistaki able mark of the stock exchange habitue and peculiar old men with long, beards and soiled linen and ancient Prince Albert suits all min gled together and, drivirig bargains among themselves at -figures that would rejoice -any banker, even in America. k Iwo by two, they sit., opposite each other at the little green ta,' bles. , carelessly fingering handfuls of uncut diamonds as if they were poker chips. Conversations the Same. 1 he conversations are pretty much the same all over the room. "How much did you pay for the lot?" "Two hundred crowns." "All right;.! buy it with 8 per cent profit for you. "Done." ' And the money is handed over at once, in cash. Then the seller looks around and having nothing better-to do, leans over the shoulder of an acquaintance at another table, driving another bargain. And the gambling fever gets him "again and he feels sorry he has sold. So he buys another lot and sometimes he- buys back' the' very one he has sold Thus the prices are pushed up in this extraordinary diamond ex change."

"For instance, we are making progress in obtaining promises from shoe rnanu-. facturers as to fixing a limit beyond which prices shall not go." Shopkeepers' Propaganda.' Propaganda, which apparently is nation-wide, on the part of shop- keepers seeking to induce purchases'1, now on the pretext that prices will be materially higher next season, was condmned by Mr. Palmer as one certain thing which would' make prices continue rising if heeded. His attention was called to advertise ments in various papery stating straw hats, clothing and other non- perishable articles should be bought before next year s prices become 1 effective. . It is very unfortunate that some merchants take that attitude and we f have been studying the situation," the attorney general said.
