VIEW OF BRITISH PRESS

RSSoCIdtbu
London November 15.--The action of
the United States Senate on the peace
treaty, especially with regard to arti-
Gle X, received prominence in some of
the London newspapers whose head
lines embody President Wilson's ref
erence to cutting the heart out of
the treaty"
Few of the newspapers, however
comment editorially. The Daily Chron-
icle attributes the Senate's action "to
hostility to President Wilson rather
than hostility to Europe" and says:
This in no wise relieves Europe
from serious, possibly tragic embar-
easements, for which American OBJ
struction is responsible"
The Daily News sees little hope OF
America entering the league of Ma
tons on the same footing with other
nations, and says this will be "a grave
blow to the rest of the world, who
looked across the Atlantic for full
unselfish leadership in the task OF
reordering the world
The newspaper, however, does not be-
lieve the Senate today represents what
will be in the mind of America next
year or the year after. and adds:

misfortune, but misfortune which

PRESSURE PUT ON
COAL OPERATORS
Government Will Proceed to
Operate Mines if Agree
ment Fails
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 15.-(Special.)-
Operators of coai properties promise to-
night to recede from the strict letter of
the Washington wage agreement in deal
ing with miners in conference.
This attitude is due to the covertly con-
veyed intention of the government to OBJ
crate the mines unless an agreement
guaranteeing their operation is reached.
The impression that the miners desire
the government to take control prevails.
The operators are said to be moved be-

eminent to operate coal mines, the

agreement, would force the government
