LONDON. Thursday (via MONTREhAL).
Local government elections took place
today throughout Ireland. The results,
are looked forward to with much curiosity
on account of the new circumstances OF
the contests. The chief points Of uncer-
tainty are the effect of proportional rep
resentation, which is being tried for the
first time, and how it will influence sthe
Sim Fein. If the Sim ,t'ein succeeds, in
proportion to it's supposed strength it will
control the municipal machinery over
three-fourths OF the country. l.t -

sibly know. and IL the President refused
to submit to the Allies the result of the
Senate's action on the treaty, that mus
necessarily be a question to be dealt with
when it should arise.
Mr.. Bryan avoided answering any ques-
tion as to his relationship with the Presi-
dent, and tried to persuade his hearers
that the action Of the Senate had no re-
lation to the opinion of the President.
HOke Smith Blocks Caucus Result.
The tie in the Democratic Leadership
caucus resulted from the refusal of Sena-
tor Uoke Smith. of Georgia, to vote for
either Senate Hitchcock or Senator Un-
derwood. Counting those present and vot-
ing. those absent, paired and impaired
the tie was complete except for the vote
of Senator Smith. He explained to the
caucus-and afterward issued statement
to the same effect-that he was personally
so attached to both the contestants that
he could not make up his mind which way
to vote. Both sides attributed other rea-
sons TO explain the attitude OF the new
Silent" Smith, but they were left to con-
lecture.
There is no doubt that the failure of
Senator Hitchcock to receive a majority
Of the caucus is severe blow to the adj
ministration Senator's who have been
standing by the President In his uncom-
promising attitude on the treaty. Senator
Hitchcock represents the President in this
fight and Senator Underwood. his oppo-
nent for the minority leadership. has an
nounced his willingness even TO eliminate
temporarily the covenant of the League of
Nations I'm order that the peace treaty
may be ratified
Mr.. Hitchcock entered the caucus conf
dent of success, while Mr.. Underwood was
not so certain. The even division OF the
Democrats on the leadership is a very
clear indication that they are split just as
evenly on the peace treaty
The most significant thing about the sum
total Of gtoday's Developments is that the
disturbances resulting from the peace
treaty controversy, are confined almost en-
trely to- the Democrats. Mr.. Bryan. al
though his fantastic walkout proposal Is
yet to be accepted seriously by the Demo
cratic leaders, is without doubt the most
important factor in the situation outside OF
President Wilson, who may, OF course. ex-
ercise his constitutional authority to re-
ject whatever action the Senate may take.

Britain may be faced with serious
Bolshevist situation in the Near East
which would mean military commitments
according to expert opinion based on Of
ficial advices from the theatre of war.
The Bolshevist occupation OF Trans
Caspia may be regarded as virtually COM
plete. which makes the position in the
Caucasus most difficult from an anti-Red
viewpoint. There is little hope of stap-
ping the Bolshevki from overrunning the
Caucasus. and if they succeed they will be
able to join Mustapha Kemal Pacha (head
Of the Turkish Nationalists) and other
Turks for Mesopotamian aggression.
Likewise Red occupation of Trans
Caspia gives the Bosheviki a base for
Operations against Persia and extending
Ito India with the cooperation of Afghan
istan. Georgia and Azerba jan are anti
Bolshevist, but they are not strong enough
to resist the invasion which threatens
them from the north where General Deni-
kines right wing is being pressed back
and from across the Caspian, where the
Bolsheviki seem to be well established.
There is a large Boshevist element in
Baku and a Red landing there would
probably result in the recruitment Of these
Bolsheviki Immediately.
Daghestan is even more helpless than
Georgia and Azerbaijan. Numerous Turks
also are penetrating into the Caucasus
from the south with the object Of foment-
ing trouble.
The difficulties in Mesopotamia appear
by no means to be finished. Ramadan

ratification and takes this issue out of
the way.
IAN agreement is infinitely better than
any other settlement for two reasons
First 1t takes the question out of poll
tics and permits both parties to turn their
attention to very important domestic is
sres. Second--It permits ratification by a
larger majority than would be possible
under any other plan. That gives the
greatest possible weight to action and has
a tremendous influence abroad.
These two reasons help US at home a.
well as abroad, and ought to be sufficient
to compel an agreement / feel sure that
the expressions from the public, constant
ly growing in number and force, will COM

Senators who voted for ratification in some

VIII Of the Majority.
.If any one thinks this plan have out
lined is q concession to the Republican
party, he hasn't thought the matter
through. Yielding to the majority in this
country does not mean either an approval
of what the majority does or the ending of
the contest. 1t is simply acauiescence In
the will of the majority. which Jefferson
saws is the first rule OF n republic, from
which there Is no appeal except to force.

could appeal then for reinstatement or any
essential provisions-that is, that the Dem
ocratic party considers essential-which
the Republicans cut out.
"Do you think" Mr.. Bryan was asked
that the President would accept any
compromise such as suggested?
That is a good question, and ] wish
you would take down my answer, Mr.
Bryan began. II do not know anybody
who has authority to say what the Prssi'
dent would accept and do not think II
would be fair to ask him in advance what
he will accept, for, having negotiated
the treaty, to suggest changes might put
him in the attitude of breach of faith
with the Allies The treaty was a com.
promise and he could hardly suggest a
surrender of its terms in advance of the

experiments were remarkable on ac-
count of the great distance over which
the beam of light employed was trans

been caused to travel about fifteen
miles, but on this occasion the reflect

distance traversed by the beam, going
