...Ruth Hale, head of the Lucy Stone League, recently made the following statement: "Unless man recedes from his present position to readjust life on the basis of sex equality of might, he will be completely overcome.... Our fight is already won. Very soon the enemy will find himself prone with the steel at his throat...Procreation, the power to reproduce the human species, is the world's most potent power, and it is 75 percent women...
...document was officially before the Foreign Relations Committee where a friendly attitude toward it was manifested by members, including Pennsylvania's Senator Reed and Arkansas' Senator Robinson, both delegates to the London parley. The Naval Affairs Committee, under the nervous leadership of Maine's Senator Hale, conducted hearings in an atmosphere hostile to the agreement which was, under the Senate rules, none of its official business. Senator Hale, a big Navy man, did everything possible to develop the worst features of the treaty as a means of drumming up public opposition to its restrictive provisions...
...Guns. Senator Hale se cured from the Navy wooden models of 6-in. guns and 8-in. guns as used on cruisers, set them up in his office to outline his objections to the treaty.

Senator Robinson anticipated this division of naval thought last week when he declared: "This is a question, I believe, which will never be settled to the satisfaction of everyone. The treaty recognizes the larger cruiser as more consistent with our needs in that we build 18 to 15 for the British. Some of the experts do not regard those figures as satisfactory. The treaty is as near parity as could be devised...
...Judas. Guido Mayr, hale, clever woodcarver, is to be villain for the second time. But Johann Zwink, who played the role several times, will continue to be missed whether Mayr is good or bad. For Zwink, a mellow, watery-eyed, lovable ancient, now exceedingly poor, is considered by many in the village to have been the best character actor that Oberammergau ever had. His was naturally a Judas face. Because his spirit was quite otherwise, he used to rehearse his part by walking about town, mumbling imprecations in his beard against the Christ until he almost believed them, became suicidally...
