worked out by the Federal Fuel ad-

With the actual coming of peace,
the Federal Fuel administration

there will be plan, not to continue

tinue to administer fuel-a part of a
general plan under which the govern
ment shall continue something of that
intimate relation with industry which
was created during the war. Such a

Further Invasion of Germany viii Fol.
low II ENJOYS Refuse to
Sign Treaty.

Paris, June l4.-Marcel Hutin says
a the Echo de Paris that Marshal
och and General Weygand had two
conferences with Premier Clemenceau
at which they discussed the question
of an immediate resumption of hostili-
ties and a concerted advance by the
Allies.
The general opinion is. the writer
adds, that Count Won Brockdorff- Rant
Eau has committed himself too far to
be able to sign the treaty. 1t is also
believed that the Scheidemann minis
try will be swept away to make room
for a ministry of moderate Indepen-
dent Socialists, which will be joined
by Matthias Erzberger. chairman of the
German armistice commission. This
ministry, 1t is declared, would be dis
posed to accept the Allied conditions,
which it probably would do about
July /.

on Calendar for Early
Consideration.
MEASURE IS AMENDED
Foreign Relations Committee Elimk
mates Section Declaring Policy of
United States is to Combat
Future European Menace.

Washington, June 14.-The senate
placed the resolution of Senator Knox.
Republican, Pennsylvania, to have the
senate declare definitely 1t cannot ac-
cept the league of nations interviewer
with the peace treaty, on the calendar
for consideration early next week.
In reporting the measure, the Fer
eign Relations committee amended 1t
to strike out the section which would
have declared it policy of the Ameri
can government to cooperate In com
batting any future menace to the
peace of Europe. The provision was
eliminated by friends of the resolu
tion after it became apparent that
otherwise favorable committee action
might be endangered.
On the motion to amend, as we'll as
on the final vote, all the Democratic
members voted in the negative and In
each case they were Joined by Senator
McCumber, Republican, of North Da
kota, league supporter. On final ap
proyal the vote stood s to Z.
Two unsuccessful motions to post
pone action by the committee until
next week were made by Senator Pitt
man, Democrat, OF Nevada. The sen
ate adjourned until Monday so there
would be no debate on the resolution
this week.
When the measure comes up the
first of the week, its supporters will
try to press 1t to an early vote SC
that II adopted, 1t will reach the Yer
sailles conference before the signing
Of the treaty. The league supporters
are expected to make a bitter fight
against any such action. While they
disclaim any intention to conduct q
filibuster, they say they VIII not per
nit a vote until the resolution has
been discussed at length.
A resolution reserying the right OF
the American congress to determine
the 1ustness Of the obligations imposed
upon this country under the much dis
cussed section 10 of the League oi
Nations covenant, was meanwhile in
troduced by Senator Sterling, Republi
can, South Dakota.
