AMENDMENTS BEATEN.

BY most decisive and gratifying ma
jorities amendments to the proposed
peace treaty have been voted down in
the senate. These majorities prove
that the opposition to the treaty will
not have the votes to amend it. But
it is equally plain that the covenant
of the league of pations cannot be rati-
fed in its present form. Without
reservation that treaty will lack the
necessary two.thirds vote to formal
ly approve it. In fact it begins to
look as though it would not be able to
muster even majority of the senate.
Reservations proposed by the So
called mild reservationists'' among
the republicans and supported by
several democrats, should be agreed
upon and adopted and the treaty rati-
fed just as early as possible. The
| Herald believes not only that it will
be necessary to adopt reservations in
order to obtain the necessary vote for
ratification, but it has no hesitancy in
saying that the interests of America
demand that these reservations, should
be adopted when the affirmative vote
on ratification is adopted. In other
words the world should have notice
when the treaty is approved of the in
corporations placed by this nation on
certain disputed points. Article x in
it's present form will never, when full
ly understood meet the approval OF
the American people. Nor is it GER
tain that the people of America would
approve our entry into the league of
nations unless we made it plain to the
world that our right of withdrawal
was absolute. 1t must further be
! made plain to the world that America
reserves the right to decide at the
time when the controversy arises as
| to whether or not it will participate
in all of the international quarre!s
that may in the course of time devel-
OF.
These reservations or interpreta-
tions will not make necessary a recon
vening of the peace conference. They
will not delay the exchange of ratiti-
cations. They are in line with the
best traditions of this country. More
over, it is better even for those who
would take the treaty without any
change, to accept reasonable and
proper reservations than to defeat the
entire treaty, which aside from the
covenant of the league of nations, is
unobjectionable to the vast majority
of patriotic Americans. 1t is certain
that outside of McCumber and Posi-
bly, Jones, all of the republicans will
support reservations. They, viii be
joined by the following democrats
Thomas, Gore, Reed, Smith tGeorgia)
Shields and possibly one or two 9th
crs. This means a clear majority OF
the senate for reservations. Admins
tration leaders should accept the stu
alton and hasten final ratification by
agreeing upon the reservations outlin
ed by Senator Smith. of Georgia.

New York's "Ghetto."

A vivid picture of New York's low
ar East side is drawn by Mary Frank,
librarian Of the Riyington street
branch of the New York Public H.
brary In the Century. She writes in
Nart as follows:
"The street was crowded with peo.
lie. Up and down, as far as the eye
'ould range, rows of push-carts lined
he curb. Gray-bearded patrlarchs
mothers with babies In their arms,
inrgalned for fruits and vegetables,
hardware, handkerchlefs. hats, under
wear, furbelows of thousand kinds.
\ged grandmothers bent, stood inside
from the crowd and gazed with tired
md wrinkled faces on the rushing
life; and there were children, children,
children, lodging in and out, running
up and down, everywhere. Over 1t
all the Pickering torches Of the push
carts threw an Old-World light. This
was the very heart Of New York's
Ghetto, a great city itself, Of vague
and distant boundaries, all within our
Greater New York"

the following interesting facts:
In 1860 Harvard and Princeton
we're the only American universities

GERMANS RESENT
PEACE INVITATION
Hope of Mitigation of Drastic
Terms Fails.


BERLIN, April 10 (delayed) Strong
exception has been taken in Govern
ment circles to the Entente's invitation
to send delegates TO the Peace Congress.
In official quarters 1t was declared that
the note was manifestly dscourteous
and a special meeting OF the entire Min
istry was called by Chancellor Schede-
mann 10 discuss 1t and to frame an
answer. II was at this meeting that
the plan of sending messengers to re-
ceive the peace terms was discussed.
The Cabinets action with respect to
the tentative decision to withhold a
regular peace delegation appears to have
popular support. A general tone OF pes
eimism prevails, with the atmosphere
having a Communistc tinge. The indie
pendent Socialists are exerting every
energy to embarrass the Government
and to take advantage OF its difficulties
for party advantage.
There are other signs which indicate
that the Government Is not actively
opposing Bolshevism, leaving Itself in a
position to turn to the Soviets II neces-
sary, and on the other hand keeping
itself in position TO Join the Allies against
the Soviets II that course should appear
desirable as the price of peace.
That the Scheidemann Cabinet will
not take the responsibility OF signing or
rejecting the peace terms Is now con-
sidered certain The peace treaty un-
doubtedly will be submitted TO the Wei
mar Assembly and that body probably
will try to shift the responsibility to the
people, although referendum would
take some time. There is a possibility
that the Cabinet. or part of 1t, will re-

COUNCIL PUTS CHECK
ON UNION WITH REDS
Inserts Clause to Prevent
Sending Officers to Russia.

PARIS, April 21.--The Council Of For
eign Ministers approved to-day the
provision OF the peace treaty intended
to forestall any effort the Germa ms
might make to reestablish a military
machine by utilizing outside forces. The
article prohibits the sending of Ger
man military instructors to foreign
countries. 1t was referred to the draft
ing committee.
1t was realized that however COM
plete might be the restrictions upon
Germany by the limitation of her forces
and armament she still had in her
power considerable forces that might be
employed indirectly. as already indicated
by the despatch of German officers to
Russia. 1t was pointed out that unless
this practice was checked 1t would be
possible for Germany to create a prac-
tic BILE force in Russia.
This menace has become particularly
significant in view or reports OF an
alliance between Germany and Russia,
The Ministers also approved two
recommendations of the Supreme Eco
monte Council. The first recommended
that the Germans be requested to send
as soon as possible to France technical
experts on food. shipping, raw materials,
trade and communications, with full
powers to negotiate and expedite eco
monte relations between Germany and
the allied and associated Powers
The second recommended that an In
terallied commission be appointed to CO.
ordinate the administration of the
economic. Industrial and food questions

bring these civilian functions under a
single head and at the same time at

PARIs, April 21.-The Council Of -Four
of the Peace Conference, in the interval
before the peace treaty is handed to the
German delegates, will take up the ques-
ton of making the document public.
Ray Stannard Baker, representing the
American delegation, in agreement with
the press advisers to the delegations Of
other countries has recommended to the
council the publication Of the treaty
Immediately after its delivery to the
Germans. otherwise. it is pointed out,
the first version OF the important pro-
visions OF the treaty would be issued
by the Germans and might be loaded
up with German propaganda.
The plan proposed on behalf Of the
United States is for the American dele
gates to cable for simultaneous distribu-
ton on the American continents, first, a
ESQ word official summary of the treaty :
second, 5000 word official summary
and third. the text of the treaty. Tho
two summaries would be given to the
American press at about the same time
and the treaty "A day or two later the
stalments as IL was received.
The text Of the covenant Of the League
OF Nations has already been telegr aphed
to the State Department At Washington
for release when authorized by Presi-
dent Wilson. Other parts of the treaty
are likely to he cabled during the present
week. The final despatch, which may
count up to nearly 100000 words, can be
oabled in four or FIVE hours If all the
ca BILE lines are cleared for the purpose.
The capacity of the cables is 500, 900
words a day. and the associated govern
ments could order the text of the peace
treaty given first official priority so that
the enormous task of transmission could
be accomplished with less delay than a
press message ordinarily requires
on the day the peace treaty is signed
the American correspondents will have
their telephones in the Louis NV. bath
room In the Versailles palace. The en-
trance will be by secret door, not
twenty yards from the peace table, into
a little corridor, and thence down few
steps into the marble bathroom. which
is sufficiently large for the installation
of Ave or six telephones and one tele
graph instrument.
