jWife Blamed by
Senators When
v Hubby Deserts
Committee of Upper House
' Turns Down Treaty With
Ctnada for Extradition of
Men Who Leave Mates.
Washington, Dec. 18. Who is at
fault when a man deserts hs wife?
j The lady, responds the foreign re
lationi committee of the senate
which has found in considering the
treaty with Canada for the extra'ii-
" tion of wife deserters that marital as
well as international relations falf
:-within its purview.
Holding this view the committee
has voted against the ratification of
, the treaty, Senator Lodge, of Massa
chusetts, the chairman, alone dis-
' senting. He promises to carry the
matter to the floor of the senate to
;.- win a two-thirds vote for ratifica-
Senator Lodge points out that 40
states now have laws permit ing the
! extradition of wife deserters so that
, a treaty with this provision would
; mean no new precedent.
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, leads
the opposition to the treaty and he
will direct tne ngnt against u n
Senator Lodge makes good his threat
, of bringing it up on the floor. The
... senator insisted not without asperity
during the committee's deliberation
of the subject that he as a lawyer had
found the women are almost in
variably to blame in cases of wife
desertion, in fact to such an extent
fa this true that when he represents
ttt wife he says he kept her out of
court for fear her sharp tongue will
Jose the case.
The Ohio senator believes that
where there are children the father
should be compelled to provide for
' their support and he has been in
touch with the State department
seeking a modification of the Cana-
i dian treaty to bring this about. But
for the wife he has no sympathy and
if he can prevent it there will be no
treaty to return the husband whose
. wife has forced him to "forsake home
. and country to begin live anew else-

Germany to Observe
Cakeless Christmas
Berlin, Dec. 18. Germany will
have a "cakeless" Christmas. The
Reichstag today passed a special law
prohibiting under severe penalties
the baking of any and all cakes,
doughnuts and cookies by hotels,
bakeries or cafes.
The ban includes the favorite cof
fee cakes and the famous New Year
doughnuts, the eating of which is an
old custom in Germany on the first
day of the year.
Private families are not included
in the ban. The purpose of the new
law is to save grain and white flour
for mixture' with potato, rye, rice
and other flours for bread, the
scarcity of which is beginning to
cause alarm that the confiscation of
all bread and cereals may be or
dered. The cafe proprietors association
immediately called a meeting to con
sider the situation as the order pro
hibiting the making of cake threat
ens to ruin their business.
. In the fight between the govern
ment and the Berlin hotels regarding
the serving of white bread and but
ter, the National Association of Ho
tfl Proprietors announce its inten
tion of joining the Berlin movement
by closing all the large hotels in tlic
country.

the earlier performances. George
Voss, son of Mrs. George Voss, of
this city, is a property man on the

the 75 members of the club at Christ
mas. This year's play was written by
E. H. Weaver of Indianapolis, pres
ident of the club, who plays one of
the leading roles. He has taken part
ir. a number of professional produc
tions and is planning to go on the
stage following graduation.
The play is laid in Peru and the
