The reason for the supposition that
the end of the world is at hand as ex-

the conjunction of seven of the

known in history of the world. The
planets are Mercury, Mars, Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. And

SENATORS FUR AND
 AGAINST COVENANT

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The re- vised covenant of the league of nations should remove every possible objection of any sincere objector, said Senator Pittman of Nevada, democrat and member of the senate foreign relations committee.
 Tt would seem that any future op- position cannot be based upon sound reasoning. The treaty, including the league of nations, in my opinion, will be speedily ratified by the senate"
 Although declaring he favored some kind of a league of nations, Senator Sherman of Illinois. republican, and one of the signers of the Lodge reso- lution, announced that he would not support the covenant as revised.
 The Illinois senator said he objected especially to article 16 as to financial provisions, and said that tWo-year withdrawal notice was too long.
 Senator Sherman declared that the league covenant as revised still retains the right of the leagues super-soyer- eighty over member nations.
 Article 15 and some of the related articles, he said, remove from congress the power to control the finances and domestic affairs of the United States The league, he said, cannot amend the United States constitution in any re- Spect

 Postmaster General Burleson, as dl- recting head of the wire communica- tion service, taken over as a war meas ure, announced today he had recom- mended to President Wilson that the cables be turned back forthwith, prob ably not later than May 10 An hour later the postmaster general gave out a statement saying he would recom- mend that the telephone and telegraph should be returned to private owner ship, contingent on financial protec- tion to be obtained from congress. It was explained by Burleson that no leg islation was necessary in the case Of the cable companies properties. In the matter of land service. the solution of the problem will be put squarely up to congress. Coming so soon after the recommendation in his annual re port that the telephone and telegraph lines become government owned at the conclusion of peace. the postmaster generals announcement created un- usual interest.
 Postoffice department officials ex- pressed the belief that few of the com panies could weather the financial storm, if the properties were turned back without remedial legislation Some officials said that while thu properties must be returned in thu same physical condition in which the! were taken over. to do this now. with out added revenue to meet wage de mands and increased cost of operation would wreck the entire industry.

EUROPE At a Glance
By the Associated Press

The revised covenant of the league of nations has been adopted at a pie nary session of the peace conference. Sir Eric Drummond is to be the first general of the league, the headquarters of which will be Geneva, Switzerland.
 Japans ambitions for a clause in the covenant dealing with racial equality were not satisfied, and the desires of France for an international police force and limitation and verification Of armaments were not fulfilled Both Japan and France withdrew their pro- posed amendments and it is reported that the league of nations itself later will pass upon the merits of the re- spective claims.
 Incorporated in the peace treaty are two momentous clauses. These call for the trial of the former German en- peror by an international tribunal, consisting of five judges, on a charge of "a supreme offense against interna- tional morality and sanctity of treat ies,' and for trial by military courts of German officers who may be ac- cused of having violated the laws and customs of war.
 The surrender of William Hohen- Zollern, who is in Holland, and the other persons required by the courts, is
 to be demanded by the powers. The German peace delegation has arrived at Versailles to receive the peace treaty. President Ador ot

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Although the peace conference today failed to take up the question of responsibility for the war. officials here were unani- nous today in the belief that the peace treaty, as delivered to the German pIenipotentaries, will call for the trial of William Hohenzollern, former em- peror of Germany, before court ot the associated powers.
 Trial of the former emperor for "a supreme offense against international morality and the sanctfty of treaties, the state department announced today had been included in the recommenda- tions of the peace conference committee on responsibility. These recommends lions are embodied in four articles which were made public by the state department without comment and which the commission proposes to in sert in the final treaty.
 The articles specify that the former emperor is not to be tried flor an of fense against criminal law, and that the international court shall be com -posed of five judges appointed by Great Britain, United States, Japan Italy and France. It is further pro- vided that the associated governments shall request Holland to deliver up the former emperor.
 The commissions recommendations also provide that all persons accused of acts in violation of the international rules of warfare shall be brought be- fore international tribunals.
 Some officials today said, this pro- vision would Sring before the associ- ated governments other members of the house of Hohenzollern, and other leaders of extreme cruelty, as General von Bissing, military governor of Bel gium, and Admiral von Tirpitz, who conceived and advocated the subma- rine campaign.

The proportion of the loan already subscribed is a fraction of per cent greater than that raised at the cor responding time of the fourth loan campaign, although the amount is about $2O0,O0O,O00 less, since the total of the fourth loan was greater.
 "This looks rather discourag ging for the Victory Liberty loan,' said the treasury's daily review, and the most hopeful sign connected with the situ- ation is that some of the remote dis tricts are slow in reporting their sales, to headquarters. This is particularly true in the Atlanta district"
