President May Refuse To Ac-
cept Senate Treaty Action.
Intimated He VIII If Pact
Amended or Reservations Made.
COULD TURN THE PACT BACK
Then Senate Would Have To
Flatly Accept or Reject.
Taft Took Similar Action on
Agreement With Britain.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Intimation
that President Wilson may refuse to
accept as ratification of the peace
treaty any senate action which pro-
vides either for amendment or reser-
vations was conveyed to senators to-
day.
The president might refuse to de-
post notice of ratification at Paris on
behalf of the United States If textual
amendments OF reservations as part of
the resolutions of ratification are
made, it was limited.
Might Cause Deadlock.
The general opinion among those
who discussed the possibility today
was that such action by the president
would throw the treaty back into the
senate. The senate could then ratify
unqualifiedly or refuse to take any
further action, causing a deadlock.
Republican senators said If such q
thing occurred they would Immediate
~ propose a resolution declaring the
war with Germany at an end. and
directing the president to re-establish
the consular service thruout Germany.
Later commercial treaties could be
made, they said.
United States Left Out in Cold.
Democratic senators, however. de-
clared this course would never be
sanctioned either by a majority of the
senate or by the country, and express
ed the belief that. in event of such a
contingency, the reservationist groups
would be forced to back down and
allow the treaty to go thru. other
wise. the Democrats declared. the
United States would be left out while
other nations enjoyed the commercial
benefits the treaty would give them.
Senators recognize that President
Wilson has full power to take this
course and precedent to support him.
President Taft refused to accept senate
action on an arbitration treaty with
Great Britain which the British gov
eminent had accepted, and as a re-
suit the treaty failed and has never
been revived.
Senate Busy on Leasing Bill.
Senatorial discussion of the treaty
probably will not reopen this week
until the pending oil leasing bill is
disposed of. The foreign relations
COMMITTEE today is to hear the plea OF
Egypt for self determination. 1t will

Governor Joseph w. Folk of Missouri

sentative in this country of Egyptian

Monday, when the expedition was
formed.
During the six days that American
forces were below the border four
bandits were killed by the troops and
another by airmen, while nIne bandits
are reported to have been captured al
Coyane by Carranza soldiers. The
captured bandits are said to have been
members of the Jesus Renteria band
which captured Lieutenants Peterson
and Davis.
Renteria Reported Killed.
Ideuts. George ]. K. Rice and U. L.
Boquet, American army aviators, who
were reported missing below the Rio
Grande yesterday after they had left
Royce field for Mexico at daylight to
reconnoiter~ for the punitive expedi-
ton, were located last night at Ter
linoua, Tex. They had become lost in
the rain storm and made forced
landing. neither flyer being injured.
A report brought to the border by
Lieutenant Peterson that Jesus Rem
terra, leader of the bandits, was killed
by an American airman could not
be- confirmd.
The cavalry troops came out Of
Mexico in excellent condition and
without casualties, after five days OF
hard riding.
Expedition Was Success.
Col. George Langhorne, comman-
der of the Maria border sector. be-
lieved the expedition was a success,
it was said. Designed to punish the
kidnapers of Lieutenants Peterson and
Davis, the four troops of the Eighth
United States cavalry cleaned up" the
wild Mexican country below the Big
Bend and scattered the ransom gang.
Carranista troops captured nine men,
bsrs of the band. taking them to Chi
huahua City, where their execution is
considered probable.
The cooperation of the Carranista
forces encountered by the Americans
was particularly pleasing to Colonel
Langhorne. Only once was there dan

alrymen under Captain Boudinot were

Editor Topeka State Journal,
Topeka. Kan. -
Dear Sir: have sust arrived at
home from a trip out west. during
which 1 have visited several parts of
Kansas The trip was not a pleasure
trip. and indeed far away from such a
pretense. was a harvest hand and
you probably know how much pleas
ure one can derive from that makeup.
However, 1 did enjoy the picturesque
beauty of the state of Kansas, as 1t
differed so greatly from the shilly,
wooded beauty OF the country around
Cincinnati. 1 can only express my APP
probation OF the distinct loneliness Of
an early morning scene on a Kansas
wheat field by these following few
lines of verse which I send to you:
It's Better to Call You the Golden State.
In the East looms a tempted city Of clouds,
And there, where lurked Nights deepest
shrouds,
Is a golden mass Of fire.
The early dew glistens and shimmers,
Each drop on a head" Of grain;
A faded star f.inkles, then giimmers-
Gone-a waiting night again.
And so 1t is in the 'Sunflower State
As the day oertakes the night;
It's better to call you the Golden State,
For with sun so wondrous bright,
The enchanting CLEAN,
OF each searching beam,
AS IL kisses each head" Of grain,
Makes the whole thing seem to be fairy
dream
Just a princeiy sight.

man sailors who escaped from the
barracks at Camp Sherman, near here.
during a severe electrical storm last
night, were recaptured, camp authort-
ties said today.
The sailors crawled thru a tunnel
running from the barracks cellar to a
company street thirty feet away,-ofd-
Gals said. 1t was believed the men
completed the tunnel some time ago
and only waited an suspicious time to
use 1t.
Discovery of the wholesale escape
followed almost Immediately and SOL
diers and police from surrounding
towns engaged in the. hunt which
yielded the eighteen in groups Of
three to five: All were found in near
by towns.
The sailors were members OF the
crew OF the German raider Kronprinz
and have been interned here since
1915 One OF the prisoners was
quoted by police as boasting that he
had complete plans for another .es-
cape.
This man said the tunnel was dug
by thirty men, in one man shifts, in
ak nights. The dirt was carried out
by the pocketfull. Six OF the sailors
were captured within the camp limits.
five were found in Columbus. about
forty miles away, two were found in
Chillicothe and five were taken from
an electric car at Circleville, twenty
miles from camp.

WHOLLY MILITARY MOVE
Withdrawal OF Q. S. Troops Not Re-
suit of Mexico's Protest.

Washington Aug. 25.-The decision
to Withdraw from Mexico, cavalry
troops who crossed the border in pur-
suit OF bandits who kidnapped two
army flyers. was wholly a military
one. and was not influenced by diplo-
matte negotiations now in progress, il
was made plan here today.
The orders to General Dickman at
the time of the crossing into Mexican
soil were so plain, il was said here.
thet he had plenty OF authority to
withdraw the expedition without fur
there word from Washington.
These orders were that a swiftly
moving force" could be sent across the
border on hot trail" after a chase
of several days, during which the
troops hindered by two transforms.
the trail army officers said. probably
grew cold and DickTran decided that
It was time to withdraw.
More expeditions, II was clearly in
dicated. may go into Mexico at any
time If the bandit bands which infe st
the border become sufficiently bold to
warrant it, providing border COM
manders see a good chance to wipe
out a bandit band.
Word that Secretary Lansing's re-
ply to Mexico's note of protest against
the crossing had gone forward was
still awaited here today.
Dispatches from Mexico City that
the government is making a close
study of points at issue between this
country and Mexico interested officials
here today.
It was pointed out. however. that
the announcement was made as an
indirect answer to critics of the pres
ent Mexican administration who have
been aiming at cabinet changes.
Press dispatches reaching here show
criticism of Carranza because of Mex
ico's more or less strained interna-
tionai relations.
