Suspicious Eye. Not so friendly to the treaty was Maine's Senator Frederick Hale, chairman of the Naval Affairs Com mittee. A Big-Navy man, Senator Hale called his committee together to make an independent inquiry into its effects upon the Navy. The Hale hearings have no official standing, are for the patent pur pose of drumming up treaty opposition, if any, by staging a publicity sideshow. As Witness No. 1, Senator Hale summoned Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams, a London delegate, to explain and elucidate. Later would be called Admirals William Veazie Pratt and Hilary...
...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.

...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...
...consist of speeches made by two representatives of the two countries involved. While the decision will be left in the hands of a tribunal made up of preminent lawyers of the Law School faculty as well as from practicing alterneys. This tribunal will consist of the following: R W Hale. Esq. '92 of the Boston Bar: Laurence Curtis and 16 also of the Boston Bar and Professor G G Wilson of the Harvard Law School...
