Present Indications Are That
Senate viii Defeat the
Knox Resolution.
OPINIONS ARE VARIED
Senator Hitchcock Comedies Effect
VIII BE to Prove That League
Covenant Cannot BE Approved
Without Amendment.

Washington, June 20.--When the
resolution offered by Senator Knox de-
claring that the senate will not ratify
the present league of nations feature
of the peace treaty comes up for
vote, it will not have enough votes
To pass. A test vote may come when
Senator Lodge proposes to offer
motion to take the resolution up for
consideration.
While the resolution will fail of pas
sage it will muster more than one
third of the senate in its support
which, as Senator Hitchcock has al
ready declared, will be enough to serve
notice on the Peace conference that
the senate will not ratify the league
of nations covenant without amend
ments.
So far as known only one Democrat,
Senator Reed of Missouri, will vote
for the Knox resolution. Several Re-
publican senators will also vote
against it.
Their reasons for doing so are vari-
GUS Some of them believe 1t does not
fulfill the obligations which the United
States must assume in seeing to II that
the terms of the peace treaty are en-
forced Others do not believe 1t is
fitting for the senate to take definite
action before the treaty is actually be-
fore it,
For example, Senator Lenroot OF
Wisconsin will vote against the Knox
ltff no will N
ratify the league covenant without
amendments of an important charac-
| ter.
Democratic senators like Gore of Ok
| lahoma, Chamberlain of Oregon and
others will not vote for the ratification
of the league covenant as ii now
stands, while opposing the Knox reso-
luton. Still other Republicans are
awaiting with an anxious ear to the
ground to determine what public senti.
ment demands and do not want to
burn their bridges behind them at this
time.
In spite of all this, the Knox resolu
tion ,rallying as it will, more than one
third of the senate to its support, will
serve the purpose of the opponents o
the league in registering the intention
of the senate to refuse to ratify the
treaty
Senator McCumber of North Dakots
made a long speech in favor of thu
league and dwelt with great emphasis
upon the horrors of war, drawing thu
inclusion that because war is horri
BILE the league should be adopted.

URGES MEXICAN PROBE
Representative Gould introduces
Resolution in House.
carranza Government Considers Incl
dent of Americans Crossing
Border Closed.

Washington, June 20.-Representa-
tive Gould, Republican, of New York,
has introduced a resolution in the
house proposing investigation by a
congressional committee of the Mex
ican situation from 1910 to the pres.
ent time.
The committee would be directed to
inquire particularly into the relations,
economical, political and military, be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
the treatment accorded Americans and
other foreign citizens, and the extent
to which the government has obligated
the people of the United States for col.
lection, payment or liquidation of pub
lie or private claims against the gov
ernment or people of Mexico.
Members of the cabinet and others
would be required to testify under
oath and the committee would have
power to meet in Mexico or elsewhere
"The Mexican government considers
as closed the incident brought about
by the crossing of American troops in
to Mexican territory" said a statement
issued here by General Candidc
Aguilar, President Carranza's confiden
tial ambassador to the United States

MEXICAN INCIDENT CLOSED
Prospects Of Trouble Between coun-
tries Are Gone.

Washington, June 20. Mexico,
through General Aguilar, was as quick
to declare closed the incident of Amer
lean soldiers crossing the border to
rout Villista bandits as it was to pro-
test against the action as violation
OF Mexican sovereignty. That ends
prospects of any trouble being stirred
up insofar as Carranza is concerned.
unless the latter's government fails to
protect American life and property In
Mexico, which may be somewhat en-
dangered because American troops had
the temerity to chase Villa in his own
lair. Coincident with the closing of
the international incident the state de-
partment advised that strong repre-
sentations" had been made to the Mex
lean government for protection OF
| Americans In the disturbed area.

WILSON VISITS DEAD LAND
Acclaimed In Brussels Before Trip to
Battlefront.


Brussels, June 20.-President Will
son began the second day of his visit
to Belgium by motoring to Charleroi
with King Albert. The king expected
to show the American executive the de-
struction wrought by the Germans in
the mines at Charleroi and supply
him with documentary information of
the wholesale and systematic destruc-
ton practised by the Germans.
A luncheon at the American lega-
tion, an address by the president be-
fore the Belgium chamber Of deputies
and his reception by Cardinal Mercier
at Malines were few of the features
on the program.
On stepping out of the palace the
president found several thousand per-
sons assembled there who clamored
for speech. He responded with his
first public talk which was confined to
few words:
My friends" said the president, lin
coming here personally have merely
followed my own heart and the heart
OF the American people towards Bel
gium."

All Civilized Communities Are
Anxious to See Order Re-
stored in Mexico.
DEPEND UPON AMERICA
Administration May Yield to Popular
Demand That American Life and
Property Be Furnished Am
pie Protection.

Washington, June 20-America's
policy towards Mexico is undergoing
radical change The patience of the
country has become exhausted with
conditions there and public sentiment,
not only in America, but in the whole
civilized world, is demanding that
something be done to put stop to the
bfoodshed and turmoil that followed
the overthrow of DiaZ.
Action by the American government
in sending troops over the border to
dispose of the villa banditry, which
was shooting promiscuously into El
Paso is q clear indication of the first
step in the policy that has been
adopted.
Information accessible in Washing
ton indicates further that the admins
tration. while feeling its way. is likely
to yield to a demand that American
life and property in Mexico be pro-
tected.
Action by the War department in
sending troops into Mexico has about
Ii the color of the oldtime backing and
filling which have characterized Amer
ican policy on the border, but prepar-
ations now making lead to the conclu-
sion that this step will be followed out
logically in it's various ramiflcations.
1t is realized by the advisers of the
present administration that the Mexi-
can situation cannot be allowed to con-
| tinue
Military preparations of an active
character are being made to strengthen
| the American forces on the border.
Various arms of service are being
| hurried to the border. Recruits of the
| Central and Southern departments are
being sent to the border for mobiliza-
ton, amounting i'm all to about 10000.
Secretary Baker also has issued orders
strengthening the aero border patrol.
There is no indication of any call on
National guard organizations at pres
ent.
1t is understood here that much
pore is known In Paris of the Mexi-
can situation than is generally known.
President Wilson has had extensive
opportunity to discuss the situation
with European diplomats and 1t is as
sumed it has been quietly suggested
that 1t is Americas duty to quiet a
situation that Is worse than the Rus
sian affair, although not extensive in
character. Europe is dealing with
Russia and 1t is assumed that it ex
poets America to deal with Mexico.

PEACE WITH GERMANY
United States May Negotiate
Separate Treaty.
Several Senators Are Preparing Reso,
iutions Relating to General
Conditions.

Washington, June 90 - Separate
peace with Germany is provided for
In at least three resolutions being pre-
pared by senators for introduction "at
the proper time"
Refusal of Germany to sign the AL
lies treaty, or her signing of 1t, or the
defeat of the Knox resolution in the
senate, are among events which, SEN
ators said, are likely to be the signals
for introduction of the separate peace
resolutions.
Senator Fall, New Mexico, author
of one of the resolutions, expects to
introduce it as soon as German dele
gates sign or refuse to sign the Paris
treaty, he said.
The Fall resolution simply declares
the objects for which the United
States entered the war have been ac-
complished, and announces the end OF
the state of war between the United
States and Germany.
Senators said there was no doubt OF
the power of congress thus to declare
at an end the war it declared. in ex
istence This step, they said, would
quiet those who declare that refusal
of the senate to ratify the treaty un
amended would mean continuance OF
the state of war.
Defeat of the Knox resolution would
leave the senate no alternative but to
make separate peace, senators in
sisted. because they predict the vote
on the resolution will show the treaty
cannot go through unamended.

More Favorable Trend.
Paris, June 20.-German feeling to-
ward the peace treaty appears to be
taking more favorable trend. AL.
though the peace delegation headed
by Count Won Rrockdorff Rantzau Is
represented as decidedly opposed to
acceptance of the revised Allied terms,
the latest dispatches from Weimar,
where the German cabinet and ma
tional assembly are considering the
treaty, reflect different viewpoint.
A report from Basle says the Ger
man delegates at Weimar advised the
cabinet to reject the peace treaty. The
correspondent added that the experts
with the delegation also were of the
opinion that the treaty should be re
tected.
The Majority Socialists, the present
dominant political force in the German
republic, are declared In late WeimaI
advices to be more favorably inclined
toward the treaty than at first, while
the Clericals and the Democrats of the
left wing are reported to be swinging
In the same direction. One report from
Berlin represents the people of the cap

only to see the treaty signed and the
suspense ended.
