Treaty VIII Lie Dormant
In Senate, Says Hitchcock
President Believing Responsibility Has Been Shift
ed, Will Not Withdraw Document and Again
Present 1t Until After Holidays, Leader Asserts

Hitchcock is the first official word of
the Presidents plans received by Ad
minlstration forces since the Senate
on November 19 rejected the treaty,
both with the Lodge reservations and
without any reservations. Word from
the White House as to how they should
proceed has been eagerly awaited by
the Democratic friends Of the treaty
in the Senate.
Senator Hitchcock announced after
the vote on the treaty that the Presi-
dent would make important conces-
slons toward compromise on reserva-
tlons, and the Senator has been dis
cusslng compromise informally with
the reservations during the last two
weeks.
The Presidents statement to Sena-
tor Hitchcock leaves the Democratic
friends of the treaty without any plans
whatever Senator Hitchcock said
that they would wait until the Presi-
dent acted. In the meantime, the in
formal discussions on compromise on
reservations that might eventually OBJ
tain ratification will be continued.
The group of "irreconcilable" oppo-
nents of the treaty received news of
the Presidents views with gratitica-
tion
do not know just what shoulders
the President thinks the responsibility
is on, but if he means that it is upon
some of our shoulders the shoulders
are only too willing to bear the bur-
den,' said Senator Johnson, of Cali
fornia. The Lord be praised! 1 hope
that he will do nothing at any time
with regard to the treaty"
No Compromise Authorized
The Democratic leaders are not au-
thorized to submit any compromise
propositions to the Republicans, and
the Republicans have given an uti-
matum to the Administration Senators
that they will insist that the Lodge
reservations be accepted with few if
any changes.

Vatican Held To Be a Power
League of Nations Committee
Will Not Exclude HoIv See

BRUSSELS, Dec. 5.-The Committee
of the conference of the associations
for the league of nations decided to-
day that the Holy See could not be re-
garded as a nation, but expressed the
view that it>was power and that there
was no important reason for exclusion
Of the Vatican from representation in
was referred to a special committee.
The draft of statutes to be the sub
ject of discussion at the next session
of the conference was adopted. A res
olution also was carried providing that
members of the states determine their
own method of appointing delegates to
the league of nations assembly.

Lansing Ignored
By Mr.: Wilson
Hitchcock Says Secre-
t0ry Was Not Consulted
on Mexican Situation
Ne1O York Tribune
Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-One result
of the Presidents talk with Senators
Fall and Hitchcock over the Mexican
situation to-day was to revive rumors
of the split between the President and
Secretary Lansing. 1t was brought out
Lansing since William c.. Bullitt quot
ed Mr. Lansing before the Foreign Re-
lations Committee last August. At that
time Mr.. Bullitt quoted Mr. Lansing as
saying the treaty was "thoroughly
bad" and that the American people, if
they realized what "it lets us in for"
would demand its rejection.
Mr.. Lansing did not deny what Mr..
Bullitt said, and it was thought at the
time that he shortly would resign his
place in the Cabinet, in view Of this
over the question in which the
President was more interested than any
other one thing, if not everything else
put together.
At the time Mr.. Lansing was near
Watertown, N. Y. and he did not re-
turn to Washington until after the
President started on his Western
speechmaking tour in behalf of the
very thing which Mr.. Lansing had
been quoted as criticiz;ng, the peace
treaty.
1t developed to-day, both Senator'S
Hitchcock and Fall admitted, that the
President had been advised in gen
eral way about the Mexican situation.
This advice, however, it was stated by
Mr.. Hitchcock, came from other MEM
bers of the Cabinet than Mr.. Lansing,
as Mr.. Lansing testified before the
Foreign Relations Committee that he
had not consulted the President on the
jenkins case and had not seen the
President since his breakdown.

Farmers Burn
Corn at $l.5O a Bushel
Special Correspondence

OMAHA, Dec. 5.--For the first time
in twenty-five years, Nebraska farmers
are burning corn for fuel, according to
reports to-day from cities over the
state.
Nebraska has practically no forests
and wood is available in only few
districts. The corn that is being
burned is worth $1.a5 to $3.50 a bushel.
Back in the '90s, during the hard times
IN the West, corn was selling at from
three to seven cents bushel and
farmers found it cheaper to burn the
corn than to sell it and buy coal. To-
day the farmers are unable to secure
the coal. although they all have big
bank accounts.
Corn on the ear makes an extremely
hot fire, even hotter than coal, but is
not so lasting.

Senators Find Presidents Mind "Clear as Bell';
Fall, Hitchcock and Wilson Discuss Mexican Issr
Missouri NOU
Controls Mines
Formally Taken Over by
State When Strikers
Fail to Return, to Work
Srecial Correspondence

Srecial Correspondence
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 5.--The
Governor of Missouri took over the coal
mines of this state to-day and will
operate them under military control.
Miners had been warned of this &C.
tion if they did not return to the
fields by noon to-day. At that hour
William c. Lewis advised Adjutant
General Clark that the men were still
idle, and the state came into formal
control Of the mines.
The Barton County fields, it was said,
will be, in effect, large military camp
under the strictest military discipline
No public meeting will be permitted
nor will the public be permitted to
visit the quarters occupied by the men
working in the mines. IT is the pur-
pose of the state to control the entire
district with an iron hand.
Colonel E. NJ. Stayton, of Independ-
ence, who has been appointed superin-
te.ndent of the states operation, is in
the mining district. The state is as
sured of ample men to work the mines.
Work was resumed in the mines near
Trenton earlier in the week, but these
are small, and their output probably
will not exceed local consumption.
Adjutant General Clark explained
some of the difficulties of the state
working the Barton County shallow
mines. There is no place to quarter
volunteers in the little towns in this
district, and tents will have to be sup
piled, he said. The state has tents
sufficient to accomnpdate 1000 and
an abundance of food for large num-
Der of men.
The Adjutant General'said every pro-
vision would be made for caring for
the men who volunteer to mine coal,
no matter how many there may be.
"Most drastic measures will be
adopted when the state starts to op-
crate the Barton County mines," the
Adjutant General said. "There will be
no speech making. All efforts will be
along the line of producing actual re-
suits and giving the public the relief
so earnestly desired"
New-York tribune., 1919-12-06

WaYHinOtOu EurenM


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-President
Wilson will not make any effort "for
some time" to revive the peace treaty
with Germany, he told Senator Hitch
cock, Senate leader of the Administra-
tion forces, at the conclusion of the
White House conference on Mexico to-
day.
AS result of this attitude on the
part Of the President, the treaty will
remain dormant in the Senate until
Mr.. Wilson acts, which Mr.. Hitchcock
said probably would not be until after
the Christmas holidays. Under the
rules of the Senate the treaty. having
been rejected by that body, is dead
until revived by being withdrawn and
resubmitted by the President
Senator Hitchcock, who was unable
to see the President last Saturday and
discuss the treaty situation with him
after Mr. Hitchcock had hurried back
to Washington to keep scheduled an
pointment, remained in the Presidents
bedroom after the Mexican situation
had been discussed and asked the Pres
ldent what his plans were in regard to
the treaty.
Believes Responsibility Shifted
"The President seems to think that
the responsibility has been shifted to
other shoulders, and he will let it stay
there for the present." said Senator
Hitchcock. "He will do nothing for
while"
Senator Hitchcock said that he dis
cussed the treaty situation with the
President only for few minutes. The
President indicated, said the Senator,
that he would not withdraw the treaty
from the Senate nor make any move
toward obtaining its ratification for
some time.

New-York tribune., 1919-12-06
London Hears
Allies Threaten
Rhine Invasion
Occupation of Essen and
Frankfort Is Mentioned
as Measure to Force
Peace Protocol on Berlin

LONDON, Dec. 5.-There was per-
sistent rumor in the Stock Exchange
this morning that the Supreme Council
of the peace conference had threatened
Germany that unless the final peace
terms were agreed to Allied troops
would occupy Essen and Frankfort.
Up to this time the market has not
been affected by the report
Official announcement that Field
Marshal Wilson has gone to Paris in
response to "an urgent summons to
consult Marshal Foch in connection
with the peace treaty" is regarded by
some morning papers as of considera-
Bile significance. 1t is printed beside
the address male in Glasgow last even
ing by Andrew B. sar Law, in which he
said he believed the Allies had the
power, and if necessary will exercise it,
to insure ratification of the Versailles
treaty by Germany. 1t is suggested
that steps to exert pressure on Ger
many may be imminent.
Enough Finger Wagging, Says "Mail'
"There has been enough solemn fin
ger wagging at the Germans, who have
come to believe it safe to defy the
Allies" says "The Daily Mail" in com
menting on the situation. "A wise and
merciful course would be to tell them
plainly that if within a fixed time they
do not comply with the Allied condi-
tions and fulfill the treaty terms the
blockade ewill be renewed"
PARIS, Dec. 5.-The Supreme Council
of the peace conference this morning
considered further the note to be sent
to Germany regarding the signature to
the protocol of the peace treaty, but
did not complete the document.
The secret meeting held by the Su-
preme Council yesterday, with Marshal
Foch and General Weigand, the mar
shals assistant, in attendance, has pro-
voked great amount of speculation as
to eventual military action across the
Rhine in case Germany does not reply
satisfactorily to the final note regard
ing the protocol.
$4,000 Americans on Rhine
The American troops on the Rhine
now number about 10000 men. No
question has as yet arisen whether
they would participate in any action
undertaken by the French and British
Coercion is the only argument likely
to make an impression upon the Ger
mans and induce them to sign the pro-
tocol of the peace treaty, which will
carry the pact into effect, this morn
ing's newspapers assert in discussing
the secret session of the council Of
five yesterday. That ample means ex-
list to pronounce and carry out an ulti-
matum was demonstrated by the mar
shall at the meeting, and it is reported
he undertook to put into execution the
plan he drafted last June, the mere
threat of which brought German pleni-
potentiaries to Versailles.
The Echo de Paris" says Premier
Clemenceau and Marshal Foch stated
the unexpected departure of the Ger
man delegates from Versailles and the
complicated points raised by the enemy
"leave no doubt whatever about the
necessity of taking action"
1t is remarked by the "Petit Pari-
sien" that Germany considers it has
