MINISTERS EXPRESS REGRET.
That Treaty Failed Of Ratification in
the Senate.

Burlington, Nov q. Resolutions ex
pressing the regret Of the ministers in
attendance at the Vermont training
conference Of the inter-church world
movement that the peace treaty and
league of nation covenant were rejected
by the United States Senate, were
adopted at the closing session of the
conference in this city last night.
The resolution called upon the Sen
ate to ratify the treaty and adopt the
covenant without amendment and only
with such reservations as will add to
the moral influence OF the United
States. Another resolution called for
the favorable action on the part Of
the Senate on the Williams bill now be-
fore that body which provides for the
policing Of Armenia by the forces Of
the United States Copies of the res
olution will be sent to the senators
from Vermont.

ARGUING coNsTITUTIoNALITY.
Decision on War Time Prohibition Act
Not Expected Till Dec. 8.

Washington, d. G., Nov, 81 Final
argument on the constitutionaHty of
the wartime prohibition act was be-
fore the supreme court to-day. No de-
cision from the court is expected, how
ever, until it reeonvenes on Dec. s,
after a recess beginning Monday.
Practically the only hope for wet
spell' before the constitutional prohi-
bition amendment becomes effective on
Jan. is is believed to be from de-
cision of the supreme court holding
the act unconstitutional.
The failure of the Senate to act on
the peace treaty which would declare
the state of war at an end, came as a
blow to the ''wets. Their woe was add
ed to by the statement of President
Wilson that he would not rescind the
dry act until peace formally had
been declared. Their last hope now
appears to rest on the action Of the
supreme court.

WAR OFFICIALLY ENDS
DEC. Z; mo MORE DELAY
FOR UNITED STATES
NEEDED 10000 MEN
TO SUBDUE MEXICO
And 1t Would Have Taken Three Years
Time to Carry Out Complete
Intervention.

Washington, d. G., Nov. 2l.-State
department officials in discussing the
Mexican situation to-day disclosed that
three years ago the army general staff
estimated that an army of 100000 men
and three years would be required for
complete intervention in Mexico by the
United States.
Officials did not say what the pres
ent estimate of the general staff was,
but it was understood to be less than
that prepared before the world war,
due to the development of new instru-
ments of warfare and an enormous in
crease in American war materials of all
kinds, particularly motorized trans
ports, airplanes and artillery.
Discussing the case of William O.
jenkins, American consular agent at
Puebla, who was re-arrested last Tues
day on charges in connection with his
abduction by bandits, officials said be
cause of the Mexican governments 8
laxity in trying to put down the rev.
olution. it had failed to give proper
protection to Jenkins and that conse-
quently he might have ground for claim
against the Mexican government for
the ransom money paid to his captors.

were heard at the Wednesday night
meeting and were listened to with the
greatest interest by the many pres

city of the Congregational vestry will

THE u. S. PEACE
DELEGATION is
STILL IN COUNCIL
Being Without instructions
the Americans Are Con-
tinuing Their Participa-
tion-The Expectation in
Paris Is That the Senate
Will Ratify.

Paris, Nov q The supreme council
to-day agreed on Dee. as the date
when the German peace treaty will be
formally ratified.
Further informal discussions have
been held with the German representa-
tives now here in connection with the
notification by the allies that a proto-
col must be signed by Germany guar
anteeing fulfillment Of the armistice
conditions. These discussions have
been confined chiefly to the methods
Of procedure in considering the proto-
col. As yet the Germans have not
stated whether TINY will sign the doe
ument.
The American delegation is still
without instructions as to its partici-
patton in the peace conference follow
ing the failure OF the Senate to rati-
fly the treaty, but Henry White et-
tended the meeting of the supreme
council to-day a. representative Of the
United States, Under Secretary Polk
being absent in London, and the entire
delegation is continuing its work in
the belief that a compromise ratifica-
tion resolution will be agreed to in the
United States.
This view is apparently shared by
most of the members of the council
who are anxious for the continuance of
the United States in the deliberations
Of the peace making body. The council,
however, rs working out plans SO that
the enforcement of the treaty will not
be hindered if the United States fails
to ratify the treaty later. Jules Cam
bon of the French delegation presided
over the councils session in the alb
sence of Foreign Minister Pichon. The
meeting will be held on Monday
