ENGLAND IS STRONG

 NitI Central Powers.

London, Nov 19.--Grcat Britain and France arc considering whether they are not compelled to proceed with the carrying out of the German peace treaty and the operation of the league of nations independently of the United States, pending the deci- sion of the American government on its course.
 It is pointed out that matters are continually arising under. the treaty which need immediate attention such as the operation of the various nleb- scite commissions, and it is 'coHsid- cred that because of this fact it is no longer possible to delay making the pact operative.
 that Great Britain will not accept any reservations made by the United States senate which would necessi- tate the negotiation of a new treaty as the British government, it is de- clared, has every present intention of abiding by the decisions of the Paris conference.
 The belief still exists in this capi- tai that the American government will ultimately take it's place with the Allies. Meanwhile there appears to be a possibility that Great Britain and the others will proceed without the United States.
