DELAWARE HOUSE
REJECTS SUFFRAGE
Hopes of National Victory by
Winning Thirty-sixth State

Dover, Del.-The ratification resOlu.
tion to make Delaware the thirty-slxth
and last State needed to write the wo-
man suffrage amendment into the Con.
stitution of the United States went
down to defeat in the House of Rep.
resentatives by vote Of % to 9, but
before the result was announced three
members changed their votes to place
themselves In parliamentary position
to move for reconsideration and one
member who was not down as voting
asked to be recorded in the negative.
This made the official vote 26 noes to
ayes. Eighteen affirmative votes
were necessary to pass the resolution.
In a parliamentary sense, according
to the rules of the legislature, the suf.
frage question is not dead for the spe-
cial session, but legislative leaders gen.
orally conceded that affirmative action
in both Houses is a foreign hope.
An identical ratification resolution
is still in the Senate, where Suffragists
claim a majority Of one.

WILSON TO RETURN
TREATY TO SENATE
President Will Veto Peace Reso-
luton if Passed by Congress.
Battle Expected in Senate.

ashington.-Another tug of war
over the Versailles peace treaty and
the League Of Nations covenant awaits
the United States senate after the
pending peace resolution is acted upon
by Congress.
President Wilson will veto the reso-
luton, if passed, it was learned on
what should be adequate authority.
More than that, he will probably re-
turn the peace treaty then, or within
very few days after the veto, to the
senate. The positive statement was
made that he would not send it back
in advance Of the action Of Congress
on the peace resolution.
His veto message will, it is believed,
dent on the treaty since 1t was sent
to the White House from the senate
This would afford him an opportunity
to emphasize to the country the fu-
tility of the present efforts of Republi-
can Congressman to set precedent by
declaring peace, and point out the un-
settled world and domestic conditions
due to the senate's failure to ratify the
treaty.
The Presidents decision to veto the
peace resolution is regarded as a
"call" to what has been styled a Re
publican bluff, or effort to throw upon
him the responsibility for continuing
a state of war.
Acceptance of the resolution would
be a positive menace to the country,
in the opinion of the President and
his friends The Democrats think 1t
would involve this country with the
Allies, besides serving no good end in
the matter Of securing suitable guar
antees from Germany. They point out
that she might refuse to pay for the
| upkeep of American troops on the
| Rhine after the adoption of the reso-
| luton and that this country would
have no way of collecting the money.
The political nature Of the peace
| resolution was further emphasized
| when plans were made to permit of no
amendments being offered on the floor
| of the house. A special rule to make
the resolution in order and to limit
| debate to seven hours has been pre-
| pared and will be considered by the
| Rules Committee.

FRENCH ADVANCE
into GERMANY
Allies Invited to Join Movement,
but France Will Move Alone
on Foch'S Advice.
CALLED COERCIVE MEASURE.
French Government Acts on Its Own
Initiative to Force Hand Of Brit
ain, Italy and 8eIaium-Strong-
iy Backed by Press.

Paris. - France has deliberately
provoked a crisis in the relations be-
tween the allies and Germany by the
letter handed by Premier NIillerand to
Won Mayer-Kaufberen, the German
charge d'affaires here, holding that
the sending to the Ruhr valley of ad-
ditional German reichswehr troops,
who are now attacking the Com
munists, constituted an attack on n
power signatory under Article A of
the Versailles treaty.
1t portends crisis not only in Fran
co-German relations, but an inter-
allied crisis as well, designed by
France to force the hands of those she
believes are trying to obtain modifica-
tion of the treaty in favor of Ger
many.
Indications strongly pointed to Mar
shall Foch moving forward to occupy
Frankfort, Darmstadt, Homburg and
Hanau, which not only lie Immediately
in front of the French zone, but would
provide a 20 mile strip containing the
strategic rail centers whose occupation
would cut north from south Germany.
The Millerand government believes
its life is at stake in these negotiations
and has acted after deep meditation
with two supreme iects-first, to
show the Germans that France Is pre-
pared, notwithstanding the exhaustion
of war, to cope with Germany alone If
that is necessary to secure the en-
forcement of the treaty terms, particu-
larly those affecting Frances eastern
frontier, and, second, to bring Great
Britain, Belgium and Italy out In the
open in regard to the attitude they
mean to assume toward Germany's in
ractions of the treaty.
OF the big powers only America has
thus far recorded its attitude in a
diplomatic note, the others having
merely tried to dissuade France in con-
versatiOns in the Supreme Council and
III proving by the action of their rep
resentatives in Berlin that they did not
hold Frances viewpoint, the effect of
which was to provoke French resent
ment, which has now eliminated in the
Millerand letter.
Regarding America as no longer a
factor except morally through the fall
| ure Of the treaty, the French cabinet
has decided that the time has come
for a showdown on the part of the
powers who had obligated themselves
with her to obtain the execution of the
treaty.
The Millerand letter seems to have
been delivered to the Germans with
out previous submission to the allies
More significant even than the letter
itself is the fact that not until after
the note was delivered were kilograms
sent to London and Rome informing
the allies that acticn would be taken
and, more pointedly yet, that with the
holidays intervening France could not
await their replies before acting.
This apparently is part Of the
French plan of acting, as apparently
she has a right to act under a strict
Interpretation Of the treaty, and then
| confronting the allies with the ques-
ton of approving or disavowing pub
| licly her move to enforce the treaty.
