WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Before Pres!-
dent Wilson was well started on his
way to be a delegate. representing the
United States at the Versailles con-
fefences, the Senate began a debate
on the relation the United States is to
bear hereafter to the rest OF the world.
There was every indication that much
OF the time the President Is away will
be taken up by the Senate IN this
way.
Senators made It clear that they did
not believe domestic problems and do
mestic legislation could succeed in fore
ing out discussion Of the deliberations
Of the Conferees in France, the meth
ods to be followed by the conferees,
the actions Of the American delega-
ton, the stand of the Senate in rela-
ton to the policies the President is
expected to enunciate and every other
matter closely connected with the
peace situation.
AS soon as the Senate met the dis
cussion started. Senator Frelinghuy-
sen On. j. started it off by introduc-
ing resolution requesting the Pres
ident to clarity the doubts as TO his

tions and freedom OF the seas as SC:

BERLIN, Dec. 3 (delayed) DIR. Karl
Liebknecht and his followers of the
Spartacus group OF Socialists are car
rying on vigorous campaign against
Premier Ebert and his colleagues,
whom the Spartacus Socialists accuse
OF having induced the mortal enemy
OF the German revolution, namely in
ternational capitalism represented by
President Wilson, to make the delivery
of food conditional on the maintenance
of order" The Bolshevik organ, the
Red Flag, says:
This is treachery against the revo-
luton. Any attempt to send food to
Germany must be opposed as capt
talistic effort to beat Bolshevik aims"
The article demands the dismissal Of
officers and the choosing by soldiers of
their own leaders.
The programme includes the de-
structive Of capitalism. the annul-
ment OF war loans and the Specialization
OF all business. The Government de-
clares Liebknecht has no followers
outside Berlin and only a few here.

Give the Soldier q Lift!

A soldier stationed in this city writes
to The Star a letter to suggest that
owners and drivers Of automobiles
whose cars are not fully occupied may
render a patriotic service by giving
rides to these men in uniform who
are on their way about town on off,
cial errands. This is a plan we'll worth
adoption. These men are sent to and
fro with messages, often with parcels,
sometimes, very long distances. They
are not supplied with carfare, and
their pay is not sufficient to justify
their paying their own fare. To give one

Sam at the same time, without adding

POLITICS AT H0ME|
The Vice Presidency.

In the past thirty years three re-
publicans have filled the Office Of Vice
President with much credit to them
selves and considerable profit to their
party. They made Of the Office more
.han attaches to it in popular appraise-
ment. They improved opportunities
they found in it for service beyond
that Of presiding officer.
The first of these men was Levi P.
Morton. His chief was lawyer. with
some experience as legislator and a
larger experience as politician. Mr..
Morton was a business man, with some
experience as q legislator and larger
experience as a politician. Harrison
and Morton worked we'll together. The
business man often gave the lawyer
the benefit of counsel from the bnsi-
ness point of view. Each appreciated
she other highly, and the Harrison ad.
ministration was excellent in many
particulars.
The second of these men was Gar
ret A. Hobart. His chief had been edu-
Gated for the bar. but had been so
successful in politics and so long in
political Office, he was first of all u
politician. Mr.. Mckinley. from long
service there, knew Congress "like a
look" He vas capital judge of a
congressional situation. Mr.. Hobart
was business man, and saw the bust
ness side Of questions. He was greatly
respected in business circles. His ad-
vice, therefore, was valuable to his
chief, and was often requested and
given. He was definite factor in the
Mckinley administration, and his death
vas much deplored.
Tho third Of these men has just
died. Charles W. Fairbanks was a
lawyer, a politician and prosperous
man Of affairs. Had he entered the
business world his success there would
have been as pronounced as 1t was at
the bar and in politics. This gave him
consequence as senator and then as
Vice President; and both while he was
on the floor as a member Of the cham
her, and later in the chair as the pre-
siding officer, his advice on legislative
problems was often taken and greatly
respected. He impressed himself on
public business more deeply than the
country generally was apprised of.
The secord place on national ticket
is not to be despised, and, for that
matter, it seldom Is. It is never openly
sought, but very rarely has 1T been
declined. Mr.. Hendricks, though ad-
m1ttedly Of frst-place qualities, twice
accepted it, and once was elected.

AS to tho chances themselves Of an
enemy bombardnent, it is impossible
to predict. Nobody knows what the
Germans are capable of doing in the
way Of longrangc deviitry. They have
done some amazing things Of this char
acter. and there is no lack Of desire
in Berlin to wound America just as
deeply as possible. An airplane might
be carried on one Of the supcrsubma-
cines said to have been lately produced
hy Germany, capable of being put to-
gether at sea and launched from the
surface. A single machine, however,
could do very little and escape. A
Heet of planes is always employed in
aircraft raidlug, and rarely has such
raid occurred i'll London or Paris
without one or more Of the enemy
machines falling under the defensive
fire. Whether the supersubmarine
could carry more than one plane is
not known. It is hardly to be expected
that Germany will send a large num-
her of these submarines over here sim
ply for the purpose of throwing shells
upon New York, Boston. Philadelphia,
or other points on the eastern sea-
which they nre created is to destroy
shipping. Taken altogether, the
chances Of an aerial bombardment
would seem to be slight. Nevertheless,
the thinning Of lights is by no means
q bad plan. New Workers may actually
find that they can be just as happy at
nome after dinner as in the streets.
