SENATE LAYS
ASIDE TREATY
Peace No Nearer Than Day Armistice
Was Signed-Three Attempts To
Ratify Fail.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-The fate
of the peace treaty with Germany and
the League of Nation, so far as the
United States is concerned is again
in the hands of President Wilson.
The failure of last night and today
to have the treaty ratified in some
form by the Senate, brought the sit
the League of Nations, so far as the
ago, when the pact was submitted to
the upper house of Congress and tech
nically, peace is no nearer than when
the armistice was signed.
The decision of the Senate to lay
aside the treaty came after two at
tempts to ratify it with the Foreign
tached and when one attempt to adopt
it without the reservations failed. 7
first vote on the treaty with the res
ervations was 80 for and 55 against.
The second vote showed 40 for and 81
against. The vote for straight rati-
fication was 38 for and So against.
The Senate then adjourned sine die.
The next session begins December I.
There is no intimation today as to
what will be the next move of the
President in connection with the trea-
ty. The Democratic leaders sugges-
ted, however, that the President might
during the recess feel out the 9TH
er powers as to their attitude on the
reservations with the view to bring
| tion at the December session of Con-
gress. Meanwhile, the other nations
which have ratified the treaty, ac-
cording to the view taken here, may
proceed with negotiations to restore
diplomatic and commercial relations
withe Germany.
The conference will be composed of
seventeen men, including government
officials, business men, former men,
bers of the cabinet and former state
governors. It will carry on the work
undertaken by the National Industrial
/ Conference, which was foundered on
the rock of collective bargaining.

THE ijliii3 i. S. GOOD TO
BLIND SOLDIERS
Case of Salvatore Filippo at Erie, Pa,
Is An Example of What This Coun-
try Does For Unfortunate Vets.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-(Spec-
iaD-Few people are aware of the
general provision made by different
government agencies for our blinded
soldiers. Salvatore Filippo, mem
ber of prominent Italian family, was
blinded while serving with the Amer
lean forces in France. The Filippo
family are American citizens, prop
erty owners, and of good Italian stock
Everyone who is interested in our sol
diers will be glad to know that Saliva
tore is in receipt of $157.50 each
month land that this will continue as
long as he lives.
Every blinded soldier is rated as
being totally and permanently dis
abled; consequently compensation is
awarded him at the rate of $4,000
per month. This dates from the time
of discharge, and as Salvatore was
discharged in June, compensation at
the rate of $4,000 month has been
paid him from that date.
While in service he took out S10,-
900 insurance, and under the total dis
ability clause in the policy he is en-
titled to monthly payment of $3.50
as long as he lives. If he had dice
his mother would have received mon
thly payments for the same amoun
for period of twenty years. But i
Salvatore should live for fifty year:
longer, he would still receive the mon
thly payments on his insurance. Be
sides this it is not necessary or hin
to make any further payments TO
the premiums on his policy.
