Although there were no fractures of ;ne skull or other bones, there is every Indication that this Is the true solution. Tho spot where the skeleton was found was 300 yards from the nearest house that of Coons.

Whiskey, which nt the price now ob- taining where It Is for sale, is worth $50,000 or more, was stolen last night In a raid on Pier 23. In the North River, at the foot of Franklin street. A gang of etght armed men secured entry to the pier by a ruse, forced three watchmen Into ft big ice box, loaded six barrels and 500 cases of the whiskey known as Canadian Club on two motor trucks and drove nway. The gang spent an hour and a half in loading the whiskey on the trucks. The whiskey was on the pier, which Is operated by the West Shore Railroad, for export to Great Britain from Can- ada. Charles Habner, a watchman, was called to the door of the pier at 9 o'clock by heav' knocking. He Inquired who It was. \It's one of the float men,\ was tho answer. Habner opened the door to look Into the muzzlo of a revolver tnat glistened In tbe dim light from the lamps uf West, street and was held by one of three men. all of whom kept the brims of their hats well down. \Where are the other two?\ asked the leader of the trio, referring to the other watchmen nnd Indicating a knowledge of the situation nt the pier. \They ate out on the pier,\ Habner replied. One of tbe men held Habner while the other two explored the pier for tho other watchmen. The three watchmen were assembled and put Into the Ice box with one of the robbers as a guard. With the watchmen prisoners the leader went outside. When he came back he was on one of two automobile trucks. The trucks were driven to where the whiskey was plied awaiting transfer to a steamer's bold. The gang showed no haste In packing the cases In the trucks. When the trucks were ready to' de- part the man wno had been In the Ice box with the watchmen was called. II left warning with the prisoners that If they emerged during the night they would be Bhot by a man who would re- main outside. The watchmen were nearly frozen. One of them finally made his way to the pier olllce and telephoned to Police Headquarters. SOVIET PEACE PARLEY SET FOR DECEMBER Letts and Lithuanians Join Esthonians in Pica. By He Atiociated Pref.

Tho Times, in commenting editorially on tho Amer- ican Senate's rejection of tho peaco treaty, says: \Tho hard fact for the moment is that the treaty is indued dead so far ns the United States is concerned. The to the democracies of Europe Is a bitter blow to tho whole system of international policy which America did so much to build up' and of which tho League of Nations is the concrete expression, and is u- - very heavy prejudice to the prospects of European peace and of world peace. \Any attempt to disguise these things from ourselves or from Americans would be idle and unwise. We must face the facts, and they are the serious facts of a new situation which the unfortunate action of the Senate has created. The rejection of tbe treaty and of the League of Nations Incorporated In It may be ex pected to give rise to unfavorable feel ing and to comments In some quarters, particularly among nations who do not understand American radltlons and American politics so well as Englishmen understand them. We deprecate any feelings of the kind a- - unmerited and unfair.

The same pressure of cir- cumstances will force Amorjca to tread the same path. It Is her 'manifest des- tiny,\ and unless she fulfils it she cannot accomplish her other destinies. \The treaty and the league lose the Immense moral advantage of American sanction and of American assistance, suggestion and support.

She plujed no huckster's part. \With a magnificence of purpose which, If the world at large does not completely understand It, always has been understood hero by her own llesh and blood, she nobly refused to make Europe's agony her oppoitunlty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i Senator Lodge (Mass.), the Republican . leader, announced to-d- hi stand toward the defeated treaty of peace with Germany, and the reservations as sponsored by himself in this statement: The case is very simple. After four months of careful con- sideration and discussion the reservations were presented to the Senate. They were purely American in their character, designed sololy to Americanize the treaty and make it safe for the United States. Under the President's orders the followers of the Administra- tion in the Senate voted down these reservations. It was shown also by a vote that there was a decisive majority against the treaty with the reservations. Those reservations as presented to the Senate will stand. There is no room for further compromise . between Americanism and the supergovernment presented by the league. All I ask now is that we may have the opportunity to lay those reservations before the American people. To that great and final tribunal alone would I appeal. I wish to carry those reservations into the campaign. I wish the American people to read and study them. They are not like the covenant of the league. They are simple. I do not see that there is one of them to which any American can object. I want the people to see them, understand them and think of theip. in every household, on every farm, in every shop and fac- tory throughout the land. Then let them decide.

I'AJtis, Nov. 21. The Powers now fully Intend to put the treaty Into effect December 1 without waiting for the JJnltcd States. This wns made clenr again at Supreme Coun- cil meeting. The first meeting with the Germans; concerning tho protocol produced much discussion, but the Germans did not disclose their Intentions. It is very evident that they hope to obtain modifications In the Scapn Flow repar- ation, having brought many technical experts with them to prove what the delivery of so many dry docks will mean to them. Having received no new instructions from Washington the commission in- tends to go ahead as before tho Senate vote. Tho members of the commission firmly believe there will be a com- promise and that tho treaty will be vatllled with in December. This appears to be the idea in most foreign circles, strengthened j, apparently, by private despatches from the various ambassadors at Washington.
