Wilson Thanks Senate
for Wire Notification

Washington, May 21.-tBy A.
PD-President Wilson today sent
acknowledgment from Paris of the
notification cabled him by the special
Senate committee that the Senate
had convened in extraordinary ses-
sion and was ready to receive com
munications from the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
PLEASE express my appreciation
to the Senate committee of its
courtesy" the Presidents message
said. land say that I have com
municatcd with the Congress in the
usual manner through the message
presented yesterday and express the
hope that I may soon be present in
Washington to communicate to them
full Information with regard to in
ternational affairs"
The President requested Secretary
Tumulty to transmit copy of the
cablegram to the special House com.
mittee, which sent its formal mott.
fication in letter addressed to the
President at the White House.

Senators Hold
Wild Conference
Continued From PAGE One

There is feeling. too. that investi
gations arranged with plain desire to
discredit an opposed political party will
not be welcomed by the country at large
Senator johnson was one of the first
to become aggressive. He clamors for
information about Russia. though he
knows all about Russia. His demands
for the full text of the peace terms was
n superfuous gesture for the press gal
lery. since every senator knows that
peace terms are not and cannot have
been signed by the parties Immediately
concerned
When the Germans sign the full text
the terms will be given to the Senate.
1t was not the Presidents reference
to prohibition or the railroads or labor
that most interested the more discern
ing senators yesterday, butt the absence
in the cabIcd message of any reference
to the progress of affairs at Paris.
The omission is considered significant
by those who have been trying to recon
cile their conceptions of the Presidents S
mind and his purpose with the present
aspect of the peace negotiations.
World Dominion FOreseen
II is idle to deny that new anxieties
exist among Republicans and Democrats
alike. The terms offered to Germany
and the conditions being made by the
Peace Conference indicate to many of
Mr.. Wilson's $ friends and enemies alike
that the United States may be drawn
into an Anglo Saxon bloc deliberately
organized for the industrial dominion
over all the world.
The tragic part of it is that
the objections to peace that appear most
valid will never be made upon the
floor of the Senate. The fight will be
wagcd around outworn issues and con
Germs and with outworn platitudes to
great extent. But the knowledge that
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-05-21

arises out Of 'Gcrmany's aggression by
land, sea and mir.
AS the German Government did not
at, the time make any protest against
this allegation. II thereby recognized il
as well founded. Therefore. Germany
recognized in 1918, implicitly but
clearly. both the aggression and her re
sponsibility.
1T is too late to seek to deny them
today.
1T would hc impossible. you state
further. that the German people should
be regarded as the accompliccs of the
faults committed by the former German
Government. However. Germany has

tication of its political regime or
change in the governing personalities

pie she now contends for either in
1871, as regards France after the procla :
nation Of the republic. nor in 1917. in
regard to Russia. after tho revolution
which abolished tho czarist regime.
"Finally, YOU ask that the report of
the commission on responsibility be
communicated to you. In reply We beg
to say that the Allied snnd associated
powers consider tho reports of tho com
missions SGT up by the Peace Confer

Senator Sherman Says He Will
Introduce Bill of
Separation

Washington. May 21.--Senator Sher-
man, Republican. of Illinois. announced
today that on Friday he would introduce
resolution in the Senate proposing
separation of the covenant of the league
of nations from the peace treaty. The
senator plans to speak on his resolution
and Senator Reed. Democrat. of Mis-

plan, also expects to speak at that time
Senator Sherman's resolution would
declare it the sense of the Senate that
the treaty and the covenant be consid-
cred separately so as to afford oppor
tunity for vote on each.
The addresses by Senators Sherman
and Reed will be the first on the revised
covenant at the extraordinary session
of the Senate.

the grain was not shriveled or otherwise
injured for fall seeding of this crop.
The status of other crops from present
reports is as follows:
Corn has benefited greatly by the rains
in most sections and the general condition
Of the crop is better than few weeks ago.
There are many cases where the crop was
planted in low ground that will show in
jury from excessive wet weather.
In Southern Maryland the tobacco crop
has been injured by the recent rains. In
St. Mary's county the yield has been cut at
least 80 per cent. Owing to the long
drought in that section prior to the wet
spell tobacco plants could not be set out
in the fields. On the whole the crop will
be short this year.
Hay that was not cut before the wet
season has become poor in quality. In
Howard county this loss has been severe.
The crop was light to begin with, due to
a short clover crop, and the hay that is
now being cut is Of very inferior quality.
Reports from some counties indicate that
late potatoes planted prior to the recent
rains are rotting in the ground. This is
especially true in the northern part Of the
Eastern Shore.
Some sections report severe injury to
the early tomato crop, which was ready
for market. The late or canning house
tomatoes, while injured somewhat by ex-
cessive rains, may recover If favorable
weather continues. The acreage to this
crop has been reduced greatly.
