able to locate a large number Of
bushes. g.
Professor Bolley of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college reports that
these bushes have shown they were
badly attacked early in the season of
this year with black stem rust. r.. G.
Rose, who has been in charge of this
work, declares that he believes that
most of the towns and postofficcs in
the state have been closely surveyed
and most of the bushes have been
properly dug, but in some cases have
been only cut off so that the young
plants with their succulent sprouts
have produced more spores than If the
bushes had not been cut. The field
inspectors have called attention to the
fact that the bushes have been planted
quite commonly on the farms and that
they will often find large hedges or
scattering bushes on farm lands which

Senator Predicts Failure
at Republicans Hands
Would Split Party in
1920 Election Campaign
Curtis Calls 1t Trick
Leader Believes Democrats
Are Paving Way to Ex-
plain Possible Defeat

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May Expressing
his expectation that the covenant of
the league Of nations would be rati-
fed by the Senate in open sessions
without amendments, Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, retiring chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
said to-day that if Republicans at
tempt to make the covenant a parti-
san issue it will split the Republican
party in 1920.
Tie revised covenant, Senator Hitch
cock declared, meets the objections to
the original pact. 1t does not, he said,
and no covenant would, meet the OBJ
jections Of the group OF irreconclables
in the Senate, who would oppose any
league proposals. The statement fol-
lows:
of the Republicans should succeed
in defeating the covenant, that will
make it the issue in the next cam
paign, and in my opinion the rock
upon which the Republican party will
split. The amendments adopted in
Paris have removed every objection
which friends of the league could hold
to. Those who now oppose it are If
reconcilables who are against any
league.
ono attempt to amend the covenant
in the Senate will succeed, in my opin-
ion. Efforts may be made to ratify
with reservations, such reservations to
be stated in the resolution of ratifica-
ton, but even that I believe will not
succeed. | do not believe it will be
possible for those who desire amend
ments to muster a majority of the SEN
ate in favor of them. Some think the
United States ought to have dictated
the league and ought to control it. In
that case there would have been no
league. Compromise was inevitable"
In Republican quarters Senator
Hitchcock's reference to partisan con-
sideration of the covenant brought
forth reteration of the statements
made for the past two days that the
Republican organization in the SEN
ate had no intention of partisan ac-
ton on the covenant. Senator Curtis,
Republican whip, declared that the
Democrats were evidently trying TO
make it appear that there was an or
gained Republican opposition to the
league. so that in the event that in
dividual Republicans oppose its rati-
fcation, unamended, the Democrats
may argue that responsibility rests
on the Republican party. There is nc
plan, said Senator Curtis, to bind Re
publican Senator'S to any programme
of opposition to the covenant.

Sink Whole German Fleet
As O. Lesson, Urges Daniels

LONDON, May (By The Associated
Prcss).-T'hc greatest moral lesson Of
the war would be TO sink the entire
German fleet with proper ceremonies,
Josephus Daniels, American Secretary
OF the Navy, who recently visited the
captured German vessels at Scapa Flow,
declared in q statement to-day to The
Associated Press.
"Thc German fleet should be sunk, in
the opinion of American and British
technical experts in Paris" the Secre
tary said. CHOSE who are not tech
nical and who view the situation en-
tirely from the moral side, have the
same idea and believe the ships should
be sunk with bands playing and flags
flying to keep company with the mcr-
chantmen the German navy destroyed.
81 think the greatest moral lesson of
the war would be the sinking of the
whole fleet with an unforgettable cere-

mony These ships, which | recently
viewed, arc magnificent craft, but vr-
tually useless as part of the Amer
can navy. In the first place, you would
never induce an American sailor to
live in the cramped and unhealthy
quarters, even of the later types, and
none has bunker space sufficient for
our needs. The ships undoubtedly were
built for fighting in the North Sea.
and not for long cruises as is ncces
sary in our navy. Their armor, how
ever. is better than the American or
British"
The Secretary said there is nothing
approaching a concert of opinion as to
the size of the international naval po-
lice force or as to what responsibility
each ally is willing TO accept. He
added:
THAT all must be worked out when
the league Of nations begins to func-
ton. With so many problems TO face,
the nations are willing to leave that
one until later"
