Why Treatment in Hun Armistice
Differs From That of the Others
Austria Completely Shattered and Bulgaria and Turkey Are
Thoroughly Dsarmed

Polish paradox is stir more disturb
ing. Germany has not formally re-
nounced any territory taken from
Poland in former times. She Is
strictly logical in demanding that the
populations await the decision Of the
conference.
But the Poles could not wait that
long. They started on the war path.
Today the Berlin government. backed
by concentrated troops lis demanding
the disarmament of those whom II
pretends to call rebels.
To us the only proper solution
seems 10 be to take the bull by both
horns and apply military measures
which will be thoroughly efficacious.
Germany has delivered only a portion
OF her artillery and in the circum
stances the allies could not safely re-
duce their forces as was planned for
April I.
Reduce the German army to be-
tween Twenty-Five and thirty divis-
ions; compel her to surrender practi-
cally all war material, and occupy
the metallurEic centers in the valley
OF the Ruhr and tphalia--onIy
then will you have free elbow-roon,.
This undoubtedly is a difficult task.
but 1t is not impossible.
Common Sense View
Such is the view of the French
government and the French military
authorities No doubt everybody
will agree with II because ii is the
common sense view.
The enemy is naturally trying to
keep in his hands as many means of
action as he can, both economic and
political. In the economic aspect
the capital question appears io he
that of supplies. The more rhs nego-
tistions are allowed to DRAG the more
difficult will be the resumption of
Industrial life. A special committee
had TO be appointed reccnily to
adapt the blockade to the new situa-
lion. .4..
In the political field. Germany
Is preparing to play the cards
of INSTRUMENTATION and the
society of nations. We have just

AIRPLANE FAlLSA AND
IS BADLY DAMAGED,
men NOT INJURED
Plane Leaving Maysville Is Unable to
Gain Altitude and In Dodging Tree
Falls and Is Damaged so as
to Require Complete
Dismantllng.

The Curtis airplane which has been
carrying Maysville passengers for the
past several days, met with an acci-
dent as 1t was leaving the Sphar Brick
Company's landing field at about 1885
this morning and was SO badly dam
aged that the pilots are compelled to
give up their Journey on to Central
Kentucky and the plane is being dis
mantled and will be shipped back to
Dayton, Ohio, from where 1t came.
Lieut.. Kenneth Leonard and Lieut..
Boswell had just repaired the slight
injuries done to the machine in fall
at the landing field few days ago
and had prepared to leave Maysville
for some Central Kentucky city. They
were unable to gain attitude as they
ran across the field and went into the
air no farther than fifty or sixty feet.
A tree was in their path and as Lieut..
Leonard banked the machine to dodge
around the tree, something went
wrong with the engine and the ma
chine fell to the ground on the Mason
County Infirmary property near the
Maysville Gun Clubs house.
The new propeller, which had just
been put on the machine, was broken
into splinters and directly in half
while the wings were badly mashed
and the machine otherwise mashed up
Fortunately, however, neither of the
occupants of the plane were injured
in the least and it is thought that ths
engine is not badly damaged. The
machine skidded some 75 or 100 fee
after it struck the ground and thi,
caused the wheels to be badly mashed
and twisted.
The plane is so badly wrecked tina
the aviators will not endeavor to re
build 1t but will dismantle 1t immed
lately and ship it back to Dayton, o.
from where they came.
Inferior gasoline ia assigned as {
cause for the planes inability to gaiI
altitude.

There was much disappointment
when it was definitely learned that

1t was announced today that the boys

Clubs of the county were not to be
denied the opportunity of displaying
their products which they had hoped
all during the year to display at the
big County Fair to be held here.
1t is announced that Thanksgiving
day will be great day at the Mays
lick Consolidated School and one of
the big features of this day has al
ready been decided upon as Corn
and Tobacco Fair for the benefit of
the Junior farmers. of the county. AL
ready there have been sixteen boys

signified their intention of entering

champion tobacco growers to shame.
While the Corn and Tobacco Fair
will be big feature of the Thanks
giving Day meeting at Mayslick, it will
not be the entire program and other
details of the big Festival will be an
nounced as soon as finally decided up

that persons from all parts of the

TREATY REJECTED;
SENATE ADJOURNED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Three Attempts at Ratification Fail
Declslvely and Resolution Declar-
Ing War at End Is Offered.

Washington, November 10. - The
treaty of peace with Germany was re-
jected tonight by the Senate.
On the final vote, taken at $50 p.
m. on the Lodge resolution, ratification
was refused by the vote otC43 to 81.
The Senate then adjourned sine die,
and the House having taken similar
action earlier in the day, the extra
session called by President Wilson to
consider the treaty came to an end.
Under the parliamentary maneuver-
ing of the Republican majority the
treaty was forced into such situa-
tion that 1t can not be again consider
ed unless the President should choose
to resubmit 1t to the Senate at the ses-
sion which opens December l.
If resubmitted it will again go to the
Foreign Relations Committee, where,
in all probability, it Will be held for
long time while railroad legislation
and other matters are being consid-
cred.
In the meantime, to meet the stu
alton brought about by rejection OF
the treaty, Senator Lodge introduced
| Just before adjournment a concurrent
resolution declaring the war with Ger
many at an end.
This resolution will pe taken up al
the beginning of the new session and
probably passed.
The defeat of the treaty was brought
about by the votes of 3S Democratic
and 13 Republican Senators. The Re-
publicans who voted against ratifca-
ton were senators who have been
from the very outset of the treaty fight
against the document. All of the Dem
ocrats, except Senator Reed, of Mis-
souri,, were friendly to the treaty, but
yielded to the request of Presiden,
Wilson for rejection of the Lodge res,

which it contained.
