LONDON, Dec. 29.-The completed re-
turns OF the general election show a
sweeping defeat OF the Asquith follow
ing. Not only was the former Premier
himself beaten in East Fife, from
which he had been returned continu-
ously, for thirty-two years, but six OF
his most intimate associates in his
Cabinet were defeated by both coali-
ton and Labor candidates. Two OF
them will forfeit their deposits of $3.50
each, as provided in the British cleo
ton law, because they polled less than
one-eighth of the votes cast. This
provision OF the law was intended to
eliminate freak" candidates. More
than 1SO candidates fell victim to the
new rule.
The small fry OF the opposition suf-
fered as severely as the leaders. The
coalition candidates swept London, as
was expected. AS a rule the women
candidates were supported more by
men than by their own sex; in fact II
is commonly believed that women
voted generally against them.

Barth. Minister OF Social Policy, and
Wilhelm Dittmann, Minister Of De-
mobilization, retired from the Cabinet

called to form a government, had de-
cided against the Independents on a
majority OF the questions the Inde-
pendents had submitted for consldera-
ton.
Frederick Ebert, the Prime Min
lister; Philip Scheidemann. the Finance
Minister, and Herr Landsberg, Min
ister of Publicity. now are in charge OF
the revolutionary Government.
The Cabinet and the Council Of Sol
diers and Workers sat in conference
throughout all yesterday afternoon in
what was a cross-examination by the
council of the Cabinet on the Cabinets
recent administration. Afterward the
council went into executive session
and sat until late at night.
The impression now Is that the
Majority Socialists will form a new
government with the assistance OF the
Liberal bourgeoisie.
1.-THE Central Council of Soldiers and
Workers. comprising tweuty-seven Ma
Jority Socialists aud appointed by the
recent national congress, was summoned,
according to a despatch from CopeE-
hagen last Friday. to form a new Gov
ernment. 1t was the purpose in calling
this body, the despatch said, to include
Georg Ledebour and DR.. Kari Lieb-
knecht, two Radical Socialists and sup
porters OF Bolshevisln, in the new Cabi-
net. A despatch from Amsterdam on
Saturday said that the Ebert Cabinet,
which consisted of three Majority and
three Independent Socialists. or Radicals.
with Ebert at the head OF the former and
Haase at the head OF the latter, had coll
lapsed The same despatch said that the
Liebknecht-Ledebo bour- r-Eiehorn Cabinet
strongly inclined to Bolshevism-would
be formed at once. Apparently the Ma
jority Socialists again are in control of
a.rairs in Berlin and are proceeding with
the formation of n new Government.
Dispatches from European centres said
that yesterday was expected to be- a
critical day in Germany, with the posi-
bility OF clashes between the rival fac
,!on and bloodshed.l
Herr Barth told the Associated Press
that his faction does not approve OF the
tactics Of the Spartacan Socialists or
violence in any form. He permitted the
Inference that Hugo Haase's party does
not at present contemplate counter
re, clution Herr Barth concluded with
the statement that the general economic
and food situation chiefly would de-
,ermine the future course of events.

Sp,cio, Despatch TO The Sun.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga fight to the
finish between the President and the
Senate over the peace treaty is looked
upon here now as certain In view of
the developments of the last twenty
four hours.
President Wilson's Guildhall speech
yesterday, in which great emphasis
was laid on the necessity for abolish
ing the balance of power" and sub
stituting for it "a single, overwhelm-
ing, powerful group of nations" and
the Presidents frank statement that
his paramount purpose in breaking all
precedents and going to Europe was
in the interests of a league Of nations,
have made 1t clear to leaders in the
Senate that the warnings uttered by
Senator Lodge (Mass.) and Senator
Knox CPa.) that no provision must be
included in the peace treaty FOR a
league of nations, disarmament, free
dom of the seas, removal OF trade bar
riers and open diplomacy have been
ignored BY the President. or he has de-
cided to try to force ratification of a
treaty containing these provisions.
See Force OF All Fourteen Points.
Cabled reports that 1t is the Presi-
dents plan not only to include In the
peace treaty, which will be sent TO the
Senate for ratification, provision for
league of nations, but that 1t is in
ended to make that provision the very
basis of the treaty, are added con-
flrmation in the minds of Senate lead
ers here of President Wilson's deter
mination to f1ght to the last ditch to
try to force inclusion of all Of the
fourteen points" which remain In the
peace treaty.

there is a very radical shift OF position

sdered by Republican Senators and
many Democrats as essential to estab-
fishing peace will he amended before il
is ratified. or else delayed until some
compromise ie reached.
Until recently cable dispatches from
Paris and London Jed Senators to believe
that the President was willing to have
the treaty go to the Senate for ratifica-

would plare the Senate on record as In

As recently pointed out In THE SUH,
there would not have been sufficient
objection to this course to jeopardze the
chances OF ratification of the treaty.
II when the treaty finally is drawn and
comes to the Senate for action the whole
instrument has as its base a league of
nations, a bitter and protracted fight
over ratification Is certain, with the odds
largely in favor OF the Senate winning
its contention.
Members OF the Administration here
are counting to large extent on the ef-
feet on the mind Of the Senate Of having
presented for ratification a peace treaty

LONDON, Dec. 29.--The chief attain.
ment of President Wilson'S visit to
England IS the agreement reached
with the British Prime Minister that
no differences regarding details In
applying the principles now indorsed
by both of them shall be allowed to
render the peace conference abortive
in achieving a guaranteed peace.
This Is most important In view or
the fact that some Of the details still
present many difficulties. There Is
no reason to believe, even after two
days Of conferences, that such mat
ters as the relation the British and
American navies shall bear to each
other or the changes in sea laws gov
ernIng neutral ships have been dis
cussed except in the most general
way. there being no idea of their
settlement at this time.
League Foundation of Treaty.
But a decision has been reached
that the league OF nations idea shall
be the foundation of the whole peace
treaty; that convention in this respect
will be unique in the history of the
world. The prob ems Of the size Of
the navies, the new rules Of the sen
and the disposition Of the German
colonies will be treated on this basis.
President Wilson did not hope to
achieve In his English visit more than
this. The fact that he and Premier
Lloyd George have laid the ground
work for the joint conference in Paris
of the Prime Ministers OF the Allies
and the United States Is giving him
great satisfaction.
The details now will be taken up
in the peace conference with each Of
the conferees knowing in advance the
views of the others, but more i'm
portant stiA Is that Presi ent Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George have II gen.
eral working agreement.
At their meeting yesterday the
President and the Prime Minister
agreed that in the peAce conference
there should be two official languages.
English and French 1t will b." the
first bilngual conference in history.
At President Wilson's request the ruls
will apply TO all discussions and all
documents.

Social Reforms Demanded.

The papers without exception en-
phasize that the election is not merely
a great triumph but a great oppor-
tunity for Lloyd George. as the coun-
try insists on the carrying out OF a
vast programme Of social reform. They
declare that the governing classes are
on trial and If they fail TO satisfy the
country a painful reckoning awaits
them at the next election, which may
come sooner than 's ~o-' apparent.
In this connection II is pointed out
that labor largely voted Coalition in the
expectation that a policy agreeable to
labor would be pursued.
George Nicoll Barnes, labor member
of the War Cabinet, in a statement Is
. sued In Glasgow, expressed the opinion
that the Labor party had lost great
chance by trucking to the pac,fsts and
Bolshevists. Minister OF Food Clynes. in
statement, says his election tour Of
the centres Of industry convinces him
that Labor candidates had aroused great
enthusiasm. The elections, In his opin-
ion. proved that Labor was a living
force which would be not merely lever
In Parliament to secure reforms but a
safety valve guarding the country
against dangerous explosions.
1t is difficult to compare the results
of this election with that of 1910, owing
to the numerous arrangements of con-
stituences under the last reform act
but comparison between the country
areas as a whole shows that London has
gone almost solid for the Coalition. Only
three Independent Liberals were re-
turned and the two Laborites returned

Coalition leaders claim that the two
principle factors than contributed to
their triumph are the votes of the
