European members of the reparations

Seventh. Some day the business
men Of America. especially those in
terested in the sale of cotton and other
commodities to central Europe, would
wake up to realization that before
an American could sell goods in En- :
rope he would practically have to get
on the right side of the reparations
commissioners of other countries and
to do all his bargaining with Germans
through them, and it is unquestion-
ably true hat they would have prod
ucts of t.eir own to safeguard and
transaC Ions of their own people to
advance. If America were a member
of the reparations commission, as pro-
vided under the treaty, her represent
alive not only would sit in all meet
ings and have an equal voice. but his
own decisions would be subject to the
jurisdiction of the Congress Of the
United States, which. under the Con-
stitution, has the right to make laws
governing the commerce of the ma
ton.

Wartime Provisions
Ito Be In Force Until
Peace is Established

Foremost of all the domestic prob
lens waiting on some sort of a peace
declaration is prohibition. Hopes have
about disappeared for an end of the
wartime act by Senate ratification of
the treaty in time to permit wet sea-
son before the constitutional amend
ment becomes effective January Is.
With a constitutional controversy de-
veloping about a declaration of peace
by resolutions, that avenue begins to
look almost equally inaccessible.
The hope of the vets. therefore, has
been transferred to the Supreme Court
before which proceedings to test the
validity of the war time law were ar
gued yesterday.
Liquor is by no means the only con-
sideration involved in the continual
ton of technical state of war. I'm
til peace is declared formally the war
time food and fuel control powers of
the executive are in full force and the
espionage act operates unimpaired.
Members of Congress are mindful
also that the war legislation author
iZing government operation of rail-
roads gave the President power, if he
chose, to hold the railway systems
until twenty-one months after peace
shall have been accomplished. He has
announced. however. that he will re-
turn the roads on january /.
1t was pointed out that the effect of
the Senate's failure to act would be of
a negative character only with regard
to the American troops in occupied
portions of Germany. War Depart
ment officials said it would mean no
change in the present disposition,
which had been based entirely on the
terms of the armistice and which did
not depend in any respect on the
terms of the treaty.
The occupation of CoblenZ is re-
garded both by administration officials
and by all elements in the Senate to
be clearly within the limits of the
Presidents power as commander-in-
chief of the Army. His authority to
use troops to carry out any provisions
of the treaty is an entirely differnet
question, and the War Department al
ready has conceded the stand of op-
position senators that no such action
could be taken until the Senate has
acted.

diers has been sent to Coblenz with

Felipe Angeles. chief lieutenant of
Francisco Villa and famous artillery

Mexican federal forces under Gen. Ga
bino Olivo near Vale Olivia, faced trial
| by court-martial today in Chihuahua
| City. Mexico. The trial Is considered
| by Mexican authorities as the most
important held in that country during
a decade of revolution and banditry.
Reports in circulation along the
| border today were to the effect GeH
| Angeles would be accused OF rebellion
against his government and that the
death penalty would be asked. Meny
CarranZa officials were said to favor
! this disposition Of the case as a warn-

as indicating the possible fate in,store

\ Military Man Of Note.
Gen. Angeles was a graduate Of
| Chapultepec, the military West Point
| of Mexico. He was sent to Europe
| on military missions by President
Diaz and attended French artillery
! schools. He was then author OF sew
! eral military text books that are used
in European and new world military
| schools and reputed inventor Of the
French 75-millimeter gun. He was
decorated with the Legion Of Honor
by the French government for his
work
Angeles cast his lot with the
| Madero revolution while still in Eu
rope. He returned to be commander
of Chapultepec. When Madero was
assassinated Angeles was imprisoned,
but was released by Huerta and then
banished. When Carranza and Villa
parted, Angeles. who had joined them,
cast his lot with Villa. He abandoned
the latter after Villas raid on Column
bus, N. NJ, which Angeles refused to
countenance.
Angeles then became an inspector
of munitions for the French. He
again returned to Villa early this
year, when the latter issued a mani
festo that he was done killing
Americans" Angeles again advised
the bandit leader against q border
demonstration when Villa decided to
attack Juarez this year. In this at
tack Villa was defeated when Amer
lean troops crossed the boundary
after shots had been fred into FL

It will not be soon forgotten the

SEPARATE PEACE

Treaty Compromise
Fails.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Efforts to reach a compromise on a
resolution to ratify the peace treaty
are going on during the recess OF Con-
gress, but in the meantime ii is perth
nent to disclose the view that prevails
in the executive branch Of the govern
ment concerning the losses to the Ameri-
can people In dollars and cents, as we'll
as in moral values, should the repub-
liean majority refuse to compromise
with the democrats and thus leave the
country without a treaty Of peace.
First Of all, the adoption Of a con-
current resolution by Congress declar-
ing the war at an end would not be
regarded as legal or Of any more conse-
quence than a speech in either the House
or Senate expressing an opinion that
the state of war should cease. If the
Congress on the other hand should adopt
joint resolution which requires the
Presidents signature, Mr.. Wilson could
veto it and then two-thirds of both
houses would be needed to make that
joint resolution effective.

spiracy with the bandit captors who
forced him to pay $4,000 gold for re-
lease and gave notices for $4,000 more.
The State Department note warned
that further molestation Of the consular
agent would seriously affect the re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico, for which the government of
Mexico must assume sole responsibility"
The note was sent Immediately after
official confirmation of Jenkins rearrest
had been received and said the United

incensed" on learning of the consular
agents reimprisonment. which was
characterized as absolutely arbitrary
and unwarranted."
Jenkins was first arrested early this

the bandits who took him from his
home at Puebla October 10, but he
was released after remaining in the
penitentiary two hours. He was re-
