Up in Few Weeks and
Will Pass.

Washington, Dec. 13.-(Special)--
1t IL only a question Of a few weeks,
it is believed here, before the federal
suffrage amendment will be taken up
and adopted. Two votes were lack

proposition failed. One Of these was
supplied later by the election or
Senator Pollock. of South Carolina,
who has just taken his seat, succeed
ing Senator Benet. who voted against
the resolution. Another vote is al
most certainly assured from Senator
Moses, of New Hampshire. who
stated that II he were petitioned by
a majority Of the New Hampshire
legislature he would vote for the
resolution. The last signature needed
to form majority Of the Legislature
of New Hampshire has just been OBJ
tained. so 1t is definitely learned here.
and so the vote OF Senator Moses Is
confidently counted on.
There Is considerable weakening ip
the opposition. too. They know that
the republicans are sure to pass the
resolution If 1t goes over until next
term. So, wise democrats DO not feel
like allowing that party to get tho
credit for the resolution. 1t Is In the
hands of Senator Jones, OF New
Mexico. who can call 1t up at any
time. and the prediction is made that
shortly after the Christmas holidays
the effort will be renewed to sum

FRENCH WRITER'S TAKE
POLITICIANS TO TASK
For Treating Wilson Airly, as
Idealist-League of Ma

(By G.. S. Adam.)

(LOnuOn llHleS-IHl. lIeuSer COp. Shuie'I
Paris, Dec. 12.-French writer's are
seriously turning their attention to
the elucidation and enlightenment or
public opinion as regards the society
of nations. In Lepuys Prof. Bagniel
Scales takes to task politicians and
diplomats, those who are content to
let things remain as they are and for
treating President Wilson airily as
an idealist.
"When Mr.. Wilson demands the
institution Of international law under
the safeguard and guarantee Of the
society of nations, he Is not in the
clouds. He is on earth in the very
midst Of reality. He has concrete,
positive fact in mind, he knows what
problems he wants to solve and the
dangers he wants to prevent" Scales
instances the eternal eastern ques-
ton and the depending far eastern
question as cases in point. Secret
diplomacy, alliances and counter al
liances have failed to solve the for
mer. Daylight diplomacy and the
right Of peoples society of nations
hold out hope of solving the Chinese
problem and sparing America and all
civilized nations an immeasureable
catastrophe. Scales concludes I'VE
have to prove that democracy which
does not separate Justice from liberty
can assure by loyal application of its
principles the peace Of the world.
At the other end Of the French po-
litical scale Charles Murat, a we'll
known royalist and sco- editor OF
Action Francaisse. accepts Lloyd
Georges conception of league of
nations as likely to impede future
wars. though 1t may not absolutely
prevent them. He insists 1t is neces-
sary seriously to consider the condi-
tions of this international league and
notes with approval the practical
measures suggested by the prime
minister in form of an abolition OF
compulsory military service. 1--WE
greet his words as the dawn of true
progress. II the British proposal can
be carried out, the real friends OF
mankind will draw a deep warm
breath of hope. We make point OF
being the first to say So"
In the Temps, which may be taken
to represent moderate French opin-
ion. Jean Herberte warns the public
against treating lightly league OF
nations as an ideal. Abiding to the
presence of British and American
troops alongside the French forces in
Strassburg, he asks: would not a
league express the same solidarity as
that just shown In Alsace? If the
nations group themselves in the de-
fensc Of right they can have no more
.cxalted rendezvous than the space oI

NOW CONSTITUTED.
Would Have Made Britons
Slaves of Germany--Must

London, Dec. 13.--U. N. S.)-Pre-
mier Lloyd George in II wind-up
campaign speech here today. at
tackled the labor party, charging that
as it is constituted now, it is being
run by pacifists and bolsheviks, who,
if they had their way. would have
made Britons slaves to Germany.
In the address. whch>was delivered
at Camberwell, in South London, the
premier said:
II object to the name of labor
party because it does not represent
all OF the country's labor. Philip
Snowden and Ramsay Macdonald
are not manual workers. The labor
party is being run by pacifists and
bolsheviks. If they had had their
way we would be slaves Of Germany.
Until the labor party overthrows
this clique, 1t would not be safe
to trust the destinies Of the empire
to it."
The names of Snowden and Nc
Donald were greeted with Kisses.

Premier LLOYD George asked the

Expects Heavy Labor Vote.
The premier looks for heavy poll
of the labor vote tomorrow. He de-
clared that the government should
represent every class, and pictured
the anarchy resulting from one-rule
class in Russia, saying:
"There is starvation for the work
ers and scores Of thousands are dy-
ing from hunger. There Is no work
Everywhere there are massacres
Heaven alone knows what Is going to
happen in Russia"

are planning to return at the beginning
Of the second semester.
AS 1t has been pointed out by the

the Students training corps was all
that could have been expected, The
majority of those who entered the

Both replies. 1t was announced Mt
the state department today, were in
formal, transmitted verbally through
diplomatic channels by the foreign
Offices of the South American coun-

follow.
There have been intimations In
press dispatches that Chile might not
be inclined to agree to the action by
the United States. but might regard
favorably an offer from Argentine,
which has taken up the matter since
the suggestion of the Washington
government was made.
