1t may be that final ratification OF
the treaty will be delayed by the ac-
ton of the United States senate, which
has begun debate on the league OF
nations covenant. Some Republican
leaders wish to notify the peace con-
ference formally that the covenant
must be amended and should be sepa-
rated from the peace treaty of which
1t is now an integral part. 1t is certain,
too, that the peace terms will be scru-

both the treaty and the league o

an extension of time to May 20 for

terms. To expedite the work Brock

OF course 1t is apparent that In try
ing to disclaim the responsibility of
the German people for the war of ag-
gression the Berlin delegates are rely
ing on President Wilson's early conten-
ton that America was making war not
on the German people but on the
military autocracy that was depressing
them. After a while he admitted he
was disillusioned by realization that
the German people heartily supported
their government as long as they were
winning battles and then he directed

The of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained of the taking of
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tons; when they objected to the loss
of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss of employment for
their sailors, they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to SUBJ
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population if deprived of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction of
population through the loss of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed, and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude of the allied delegates
is that their countries have suffered
far too much already. and it is the
turn of Germany, and they assert the
German nCnnle cannot shirk the re-
sponsihilitv FOR the war because of a
partial ana perhaps nominal change in
their fo's" If government and in its
perScn"ft'ns. Such. indeed, was the
sub s,neo of the reply of the council
of for u he German note regarding
rep, "et'cre. in which the Hun dele
gates dee'ared Germany would not adj
nit responsibility. They were told it
was zoo late to take such a position
and hat it was impossible to disasso-
ciate responsibility from reparation.
Having asserted the German people
would not have undertaken a war of
aggression. they are reminded that
they approved of Secretary L~ansing's
note of November 5, 1918, in which it
was stated that the obligation to
make reparation "arises out of Ger
many's aggression by land, sea and
air" The Germans asked that the re
port of the commission on responsible
ity be communicated to them /; this was
peremptorily refused.

Spectacular success and tragic fail

Nv, one was lost near the islands,
though the crew was rescued, and the
third, after landing on the water, "tax-
led" 205 miles to its port-a wonder

plane was prepared for further flight
to Portugal and thence to England.

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
"A number of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned,
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over to gather historical, racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass of information they handed
In has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into a proc
'ess of bargaining and that Mr. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another, in order to put
across his main idea of a league of
nations. According to these malcon-
tents, the settlement of the Saar basin,
lDanzig. Shantung and other problems
was all wrong. and they evidently have
no confidence that the Italian middle
will be cleared up properly and justly.

Recent news from the neal East says
Lenine and Trotzky have established
airplane communication with the Hun

Kun to hold out at all costs, promising
aid as soon as they get possession of
Roumania. The Red army, it is assert
ed, has orders to burn Budapest and
scatter If too hard pressed. Meanwhile
an anti-communist government hos
been set up at Arad. Hungary, and the
belief that it has the backing of the
allies is confirmed by the arrival there
of Gen. Franchet d'Esperey for the
purpose of directing a new movement
against Budapest. Lenine is quoted as
declaring he will make class warfare
until capitalism is destroyed and the
whole world is one in brotherhood.
Admiral Kolchak has been notified
that the allies will recognize the gov
eminent at Omsk as soon as it is firm
ly established and a constituent as
sembly is formed, and he has replied
that he is striving hopefully toward
that end. 1t is said only $4,000 of the
Czecho-Slovak troops who went to

their way to their homes in Bohemia.

President Wilson's message cabled
from Paris and read to congress as
,sembled in extraordinary session,
made various recommendations for do
nestle legislation. most of which had
been anticipated by the caucus pro-
gram of the Republicans, who control
both houses. These include the ques-
ton of labor, the revision of taxes, the
stimulating of foreign trade, the return
of telegraph and telephone lines to
their owners, the settlement of the
railroad question and the adoption of
woman suffrage. Mr.. Wilson added
the advice that the wartime prohibit
tion law, which goes into effect July
/, be amended or repealed in so far
as it applies to beers and wines. For a
day or so the "wets' were jubilant over
this part of the message, but the "drys"
promptly declared their intention to
prevent any such action as the presi-
dent recommended, and look steps to
put into effect the measure as it
stands. Temperance and church bod

they termed surrender to the enemy.

the presidents attitude to representa-
