Washington, June 20.-There are
growing indications today that oppon-
ents of the league Of nations might
abandon all efforts to force test vote
on the subject in the senate before the
Germans act on the peace treaty at
Versailles Monday.
Hope of bringing a rollcall on the
Knox resolution virtually had been
abandoned, and some of the leaders
thought 1t might then be permitted 10
die without even coming formally be-
tore the senate for action.
1t was designed to give notice OF OPP
position to accepting the league COW
enant along with the peace terms and
in the general opinion it will cease to
serve its purpose after Germany has
accepted the treaty.

Weimar, via Amsterdam to Lon
don, June 2O.-The German eabi-

Paris. June 2O.-The Sheidemann
government in Germany has fallen, 1t
was learned here today. News of the
event, reported during the morning,
was confirmed later by military ad-
vices thru Cobienz from both Weimar
and Berlin. The downfall of the
Scheidemann government was made
known to the American delegation at
the peace conference. 1t is believed,
to assure the signing of the peace
treaty by Germany, as Philip scheide-
mann. the premier, was understood to
be the chief OPP onent to the accept :
ance of the revised peace terms.
The early reports stated that Gustave
Noske. the minister Of defense, was
forming a cabinet to succeed the out
going government.
Split, Over Peace.
Previous advices had indicated that
four members OF the Scheidemann cab
met is ere insisting upon the signing OF
the treaty and 1t Is presumed here
that this caused the fall ofsthe min
istry.
Up to noon there was no official con-
firmation of the report that Herr
Noske was forming a government. 1t
is understood here that the fall of the
Scheidemann government entails the
fall also of President Ebert. The ma
tional assembly probably will take
measures to select successor for Herr
Ebert. @@sls
French official Information on the
German situation is to the same gen.
eral effect as that received by the AM
'erican delegation, namely. that tho
Scheidemann- Ebert regime has col
lapsed. The French advices carry the
impression that the national assembly
is favorable to the signing of tho
treaty.
