ing Co.
CThe New York Wor1d.)
Paris, Nov. 24.-While France is
surprised that the United States SEN
ate adjourned without a ratification
or the peace treaty. the report that
the treaty is definitely defeated does
not gain credence. The French main
tain faith in President Wilson's abil-
ity to bring a compromise that will
make ratification practically certain
when the senate meets again. The
foreign office refuses to credit the
final defeat of the treaty or that of
the reservations which in Influential
circles are regarded as an insult to
the European states
Before the news of the ad1oul .~nent
of the senate arrived here. the su
preme council discussed fixing Dec. |
as the date for the depositing of the
notifications, but this is not definite,
and If compromise seems probable
some means will be found for delay
so that America can enter simultane
'ouly with the others, though every
days delay is harmful to French in
dustrial interests
Until the ratifcations are deposited
there is always a possibility of the
failure to put the treaty into effect
and there is persistent talk that a
new treaty with Germany is inevi-
table without the league of nations.
The senate's action is regarded as
shaking the peace of the world.
THE situation in France will be an
extremely serious one If the United
States senate does not ratify the
treaty" is the opinion expressed by
Deputy Paul Painleve, former pre-
mier. I'VE still hope some sort of COM
promise will be rendered If the treaty
is withdrawn definitely. France will
be placed in precarious position with
regard to Germany,
Either we would have to take back
the fun liberty of action or come to
some sort of an arrangement with
the other allies.
IF the treaty is not ratified the
F'ranco-American alliance also is
void and the country relied greatly
On this. At the present time the stu
alton is really too obscure to frame
a true opinion. 1t would leave France
alone in danger
TT is to be hoped the republicans
common sense will prevail and an
agreement be reached. We don't mind
the reservations If there Is an unin-
tended change on the face of the
treaty but in their present from they
modify the instrument too much.
Again, we had counted so much on
the society of nations, which becomes
void.
These matters are really discour-
aging. Let us hope in the next few
weeks we shall learn the republicans
h a1t ,ni, infn ND In
the interest of the peace of the world
have decided to lay aside party or
personal politics"

MEXICO IGNORES
AMERICA s NOTE
IN JENKINS CASE
sr @o7srse ,ousn.l sp7s,,, .r.sro WIZ

,sY MORNING JouRNAL SPECIAL .EAsup wtREl
Il Washington, Nov 24-There was
no word today from the Mexican gov
enment in answer TO the sharp note
from the state department. demanding
the immediate release of William O.
jenkins, American consular agent at
Puebla.
All day officials waited for a note
they thought might be handed them
by the Mexican embassy here, in view
of reports Sunday that long Dispatch
relating to the Jenkins case had
reached the embassy from Mexico
City.
But there was no reply and not
even an intlmation that the Mexican
government had prepared its answer
So far as the state department was
able to learn, Jenkins still was sick
and in the Mexican penitentiary on
charges that he had conspired with
rebel bandits who kidnapped him and
forced him to pay ransom of approx
imately S150,000.
The department was in constant
communication today with the Ameri-
can embassy in Mexico City and was
advised that the cabinet had discussed
the American note and called Cover
nor Cabrera into conference regard
ing it. Governor Cabrera is a brothet
of Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treas
uIy in Carranza's cabinet. and known
ito be one of the most bitter anti
Americans in Mexico.
President Carranza has found the
situation to be so acute that he has
returned to Mexico City from Que
retaro To take part in the considera-
ton of the Jenkins case, reports today
said
Mexican officials have caused re-
ports to be circulated that the govern
ment was amply justified in holding
jenkins.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 24.--El Univer
sal a Mexico city newspaper declares
in its issue of last Saturday that /
understands the government will
answer opportunely the note from tn,
White House regarding the kidnapping
and subsequent arrest of American
Consul Jenkins
The paper, copy of which reached
here late today, carries an interview
with Hilario Medina, sub-secretary OF
foreign affairs in the CarranZa gov
Crnment, that official expressing the
opinion that the government ought to
await disposition of jenkins case in
Mexican courts before taking final
action.
Senior Medina declared the note had
rot been received at the foreign Of
flee until II o'clock Friday night.
Since then, the cabinet has deliberated
the matter. The newspaper gave no
further indication of the probable time
the reply would be forwarded.
Asked by, El Universal If Jenkins
would be released, Senor Medina said
he was not in position to answer, as
Jenkins was under jurisdiction of a
judge of a civil court, and to hasten
the decision of the court. he said,
would "be to violate the law"
El Universal quotes a report pub
lished in a Puebla, Mexico, newspaper
regarding the Jenkins case. It in
cluded an interview with Governor
Cabrera of Puebla, who expresses the
opinion that the case docs not war
rant fear of international complica-
tons"
Governor Cabrera declared he had
mot expressed an opinion of any sort
nor taken part in the action against
Jenkins but had recommended that
the American consul be treated with
consideration in Jail because of his
health.
Cabrera declared Jenkins was inn
prisoned for alleged perjury, as he
has "contradicted himself during the
investigation.
Incommenting on the return to
Mexico City of President CarranZa
who had been at Queretaro, travellers
recently arrived from the capital say
his return was occasioned by the order
of physician that his daughter, the
wife of Candido Aguilar, leave Quere-
