enlistment of a worlds tribunal of

against all amendments proposed
to the treaty that may delay its
ratification and send il hack TO
Paris for further delays and de-
liberations I shall vote for ratifi-
cation OF the treaty as a whole, be-
lieving as I do that although it
may have imperfections and may

LUnited Press Leased Wire Service.
DENVER, Colo, Nov. 20.-William
Carlisle today had outguessed seven
posses, a troop Of Uunited States
cavalry and the keenest sleuths OF
the Union Pacific railroad, hunting
him for train robbery, following his
escape from Rawlins penitentiary in
q wooden box.
The latest authentic clue to Car
isles whereabouts came from Cas-
per, Wyoming, where he was said to
have entered newspaper Office and
nervily inquired how the chase was
progressing.
Another theory that he had entered
Denver on Union Pacific freight
train caused the local police to throw
out dragnet.
Carlisle is conceded by authorities
to be the most daring train bandit
ever operating in this region. The
search for the escaped convict is the
biggest man hunt ever staged in the
west.
The Casper report did not surprise
law officers, because in 1916 before
he was caught following three sue
.cessful train robberies, Carlisle had
forced an armed train guard to pass
the hat in one holdup, robbed an
other train after informing Union
Pacific officials of his plans and kept
an admiring public laughing at his
pursuers with his letters to news
papers
His escape from prison in shirt
packing case and his. singlehanded
hold up of the Los Angeles limited
Tuesday, despite presence of an arm
ed guard on the train, were on par
with his former exploits.
The man hunt today still centered
at Medicine Bow, Wyoming. near
which town Carlisle leaped from the
limited train after walking among the
passengers of tourist sleeper and
collecting $400. The cavalry and
posses there are quartered in the Vir-
ginian hotel, the setting of Owen
Wister's famous novel, "The Virgin
IAN"
Robbers Roost, the wild country
below the Laramie river, is being
combed by posses. In the caves and
canyons Of Robbers Roost many out
laws have escaped capture.
The bad lands OF the Jackson Hole
country to the northwest are also toe-
ing watched for signs of Carlisle.
But the general belief is that he is
not far from the railroad lines In
Wyoming or is in hiding with friends.
Carlisle's success in robbing four
Union Pacific trains is partly attri-
buted to his years Of service as a
brakeman on that road following his
COW punching experience.
IF he is in the Casper region his
next defiance to his pursuers is ex-
pected to show in a hold up of Bur-
lington railroad passenger train.
Having robbed train under federal
control of railroads, Carlisle is fight

BERLIN, Nov. 19.-The final >judg.
ment OF history will show that the
revolution really was only the key
stone" OF Germany's military col.
lapse. Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
today told the reichstag rommittee in
vestigating the war.
Lack of cooperation, the weakness
and failure of political leaders and
lack of support in his demand for
obedience was the real cause of the
disintegration of the German land and
naval forces he declared. Operations
were doomed before the revolution,
Won Hindenburg insisted. 1t only put
the finishing touches to Germany's s
collapse.
Following Won Hindenburg, Erich
Ludendorff, former quartermaster gen.
eral, who shared with the field mar
shal the command of Germany's land
forces, declared the situation was
most serious" when he and Won Hin
denburg assumed command. Ger
many's armies were outnumbered ten
to six, he said, and inadequate equip
ment and ammunition caused heavy
losses.
During Won Hindenburg's testimony
yesterday the probers produced re-
ports from Haniel Won Haimhausen,
former secretary of the German en-
bassy in Washington warning the i'm
perial government that America
would enter the war if the then threat
ened unrestricted submarine warfare
was started.
Americas entry meant defeat for
Germany, Won Haimhausen warned,
according to his reports, adding that
German Americans in the United
States generally were loyal to the
American government.
Ludendorff brushed these reports
aside, declaring that 'such memo
randa" always was referred to the
proper sources"

give the reports more serious treat.
