he characterized as a campaign of mis-
representation and distortion. He ad-
mitted the covenant is not perfect, BUT
vigorously denied that 1t discriminates
against us or imposes on us any oDli-
CATION or burden that is not equally
borne by every other nation.
1t was predicted in Washington that
the Knox resolution would be defeated
but that it would receive enough votes
to show that the treaty and covenant
together could not be ratified by the
senate. President Wilson's announced
plan of making a speaking tour in sup
port of the league is not approved by
many of the Democratic leaders, who
say that he will thus give the Repub-
licans an opportunity to make the
league an issue before the people. But
Mr.. Wilson, as well as a great many
other very well posted persons, be-
lieves firmly that a vast majority OF
the American people want the league
covenant ratified so he does not fear

Meanwhile, the allied nations, tax
ing no chances, made every prepare
ton for immediate action in case of
rejection of the treaty. They had Ger
many encircled by a ring of guns and
bayonets and were ready to invade
from three sides, while on the north
the guns of their fleets would enforce
a renewed blockade by sea. Before
the week ended the British grand fleet
was on a war footing. The immense
diIigiRle R-34, which was about to
start across the Atlantic, was made
ready to sail for the Baltic. and her
companion, R-33, set out on a cruise
that was to include the Kiel canal.
Land operations, carefully planned
by Marshal Foch and his colleagues,
called for swift advance by the Bel
gian and British forces through Essen
and the Ruhr district to the fortress
of Minden: by the Americans up the
valley of the Main to the Bohemian
border, cutting Germany in two; by
the French to the fortress of Ulm and
then to Nordlingen, outfanking the
strong Rhoen mountain defenses. Al

stantly. After the artillery had rained
shrapnel on the Villa forces the infan-
try rushed across the international
bridge and drove them from thetE
trenches, and the cavalry pursued
them for several miles. The Mexican
authorities were assured that this was
not to be taken as an invasion, and In
| deed the Americans returned to their
own side of the river within a few
hours. At first President Carranza,
through his special envoy at Washing
ton, protested against the action, but
lex day the Mexican government an
nounced that 1t considered the incident
closed. Whether Pancho Villa also
would so consider it was another mat
ter. All along the border there was
fear lest he attempt reprisal and
American troopsswere hurriedly placed
at the points that were considered
threatened.
OF course the senate took a whack
at this affair and the opponents of the
administration severely criticized it
for its general Mexican policy, which,
Senator Fall asserted, was to support
the weak Carranza government with
out protecting the lives and property
of Americans and other foreigners in

The German peace ENJOYS had an
unpleasant time last week On their
departure from Versailles with the
final draft of the treaty they were as
sailed by a mob and several of them
were injured by thrown stones-an un-
fortunate occurrence for which the
French authorities made ample
apology. No sooner had the ENJOYS
reached Weimar than some sixty Spar
tacan prisoners, released from the jai,
there, attacked the castle whel 'nc

was their intention, apparently, &c

mans considered this occurrence more
important than it appeared to be on
the surface.

I'VE had better sign the treaty and
have lone with it. But whether we
sign 1t or not, the worst is yet to
come; and we refuse to cheer up"
That was apparently the attitude
of the greater part of the German PEG
pie on Friday, June 20, when this re-
view was written. Howe at that
time it was impossible to forecast the
action that would be taken y the Ger

sigf or rejected, By Monday, June
%, at 6 40 p. M, Paris time, when the
time limit given the Germans expired.
Friday morning came the news that
the Scheidemann cabinet had fallen
and that Gustav Noske, minister of de-
Tense, was to become head of the new
government. This was taken to mean
that the treaty would be signed, as
S~cheidemann had been the chief op-
ponent of such a course. 1t was be-
lieved that the rule of Noske would
amount to q Dictatorship. Another
story was that Bernstorff would sue
ceed Brockdorff- Rantzau as head of
the commission.

mated that Italy had one car to each

little victims Of Turkish cruelty and
oppression are knocking at the doors
