had to manoeuyre cautiously among de-
stroyers submarine chasers, drifters traw-

charges, before it could fire its torpedo at
merchantmen of the convoy, and must by so
doing mOmentarily disclose its position TO
patrol.
This was entirely different from the game
the submarines had with so much Joy been
playing There existed now a very strong
element of danger TO the submarine. Be
sides, it put the submarine always on the
defensive There was seldom an opportunity
to practise the offensive. The long sus

knew what was going on outside, and that

N/ just after the United States en-
tered the war, and when only
those in high places knew Of the almost
hopeless plight Of England, and Of the
panic" into which the British Admiralty
had been thrown over a solution to the
vital question of how to fight the sub
marine peril, we, nearly three thousand
miles from the seat Of war. raised our
voices and asked, Where is the much
Wanted fleet OF England, why does it
not free her OF this marine octopus which
is throttling the very life out Of that proud
mistress OF the seas?"
How many of US even now realize the
terrible danger Of that hour to England?
And how many OF US realize that the sub
marine as a weapon was not defeated but
that the personnel OF the German navy sue
cumbed to a breaking down Of its morale
which acted to make ineffective the value
of that weapon?

Peace Treaty Furnishes New

Wilson's Message to Country

WASHINGTON June 23-Presdent Wilson in an adj
dress the American people the occasion OF the sign
ing of the peace treaty made plea for the acceptance
of the treaty and the covenant of the league of nations
without change reservation His message, given out
here by Secretary Tumulty, said:
"My Fellow Countrymen: The treaty Of peace has
been signed If is ratified and acted upon full and
sincere execution of its terms it will furnish the charter
for new order of affairs in the world 1t is severe
treaty in the duties and penalties it imposed upon Ger

by Germany are be righted and repaired imposes

"And it is much. more than treaty of peace with
Germany. It liberates great peoples who have never

seriousness and peoples who are ready for independence

which shall free the commercial intercourse of the

justice and freedom is at last
crowned by a triumphant peace, l
greet you, Mr.. President, and the
great American people, in the name
of the British nation. At a time
when fortune seemed to frown and
the issues of the war trembled in
the balance. the American people
stretched out the hand of fellow
ship to those who on this side of
the ocean were battling for right
eous cause. Light and hope at once
shone brighter in our hearts, and a
valiant deeds nobly done.
Together we have fought to a
happy end; together we lay down
our arms in proud consciousness Of
valiant deds nobly done.
"Mr. President. it is on this day
one of our happiest thought that the
American and British people, broth
ers in arms, will continue forever to
be brothers in peace. United before
by language, traditions, kinship and
ideals, there has now been set upon
our fellowship the sacred seal of
common sacrifice"
Omaha daily bee., 1919-06-29

quicken the efforts of senate leaders
opposing its acceptance without res
ervation. There was a thorough
canvass of senate, sentiment, fol-
lowed by expressions OF confidence
among opposition senators that the
necessary majority could not be
mustered to incorporate reservation
clauses in the ratification resolution.
1t became known that some of
the reservation opponents are count
ing on the support OF Senators Nc
Cumber of North Dakota and Nc
Nary of Oregon, the only repub-
lican members who have announced
their advocacy of the league cove
nant Neither would give publicly
any definite assurance, however.
that he favored the reservations
urged by Elihu Root and others.
Think Votes Sufficient.
The presidents supporters, on
the other hand, reasserted their con-
hdence of enough votes to defeat
any specific reservation.
One result of the days confer
ences was to dispel likelihood of &C
ton in the near future on the resolu-
ton of Senator Fall, republican of
New Mexico, to declare a state of
peace with Germany. The measure
had been expected to come before
a special meeting of the foreign re-
lations committee Monday, but no
such meeting has been called. 1t
is understood determined opposition
has developed among some repub-
lican committee members and the
general prediction was the resolu-
ton would be pigeonholed.
The prospect Of a senate recess
after appropriation bills are passed
seemed likely to block also the plan
of Senator Knox. republican of
Pennsylvania, for action on his reso-
luton expressing opposition to joint
consideration of the peace terms
and the league covenant.
