ARTICLE X DEBATE
 WILL BE SETTLED
 IN SENATE TODAY

WASHINGTON. March 14.-The sen ate's verdict on article ten, by which it is conceded ratification of the peace treaty is to stand or fall, will be pro- nounced tomorrow under an unani- nous consent agreement providing for a final vote before adjournment.
 Advocates of compromise, although discouraged, almost to the point of hopelessness, still were working deS- perately tonight to secure adoption of a reserva ton which would command enough support to insure ratification.
 Including irreconciiables who swung back into the republican ranks yes terday after they had secured a modi- fication in the republican substitute reservation, republican leaders count on ;S> solid party lineup. constituting a ma jority of the senate. in favor of the substitute and against any proposal to change it. Scattering democratic votes are expected to help reject proposed amendments and to secure adoption of the reservation in place of the one adopted last November.
 That eventually. say administration leaders. will mean without a doubt that the treaty again will fail of ratifi- cation and that the issues of the long fight will be thrust undecided into the political campaign. One new topic which it was suggested might be brought into the discussion was the revolution in Germany and steps of the allies to deal with it. On both sides it was conceded, however. that European developments of the past few days probably would have no eff feet on the treaty outcome.

OFFICIALS
 MAINTAIN SILENCE
 IN GERMAN REVOLT
tRepublioan A. p. Leased wireI

: WASHINGTON, March 14.-Cables from London and Paris reporting the uprising in Germany reached the state department today, but the only direct word from that country merely con- firmed press reports of the arrival at Dresden of President Ebert and some of his associates in the old Berlin gov- ernment. The department did not make public the Dresden message or the reports from the British and French capitals.
 Pending direct advices and a clearer understanding of the situation in Ber- lin and the scope of the new move ment, officials would not comment. Silence also was maintained at the war department although it was re- garded as probable that definite sum- mary of the new situation as it affects allied and American troops holding the Rhine bridgeheads, was soon to be expected from Major General Henry T. Allen, commanding the American forces. The fact that a council of the military commanders on the Rhine had been called coupled with the report from Paris that Marshal Foch had gone to attend the meeting, was re- garded as significant.
 What part American troops
 might play in the situation was speculative. The arnnistice condi-
 tions govern the American forces,
 since the United States still is
 technically at war with Germany,
 while the allied commanders are
 under terms of the treaty of Yer
 saIIes.
 General Allen has more than
 13,0O0 American troops under him.
 An unusual feature of his command is that it is completely motorized, in- cluding the artillery.
 Whatever may be the outcome of the military conference, it was believed General Aliens function Would be limited to defense of his area only. As a war measure, it was suggested. the president could direct such operations as he deemed necessary to compel the carrying out the armistice terms: but 1t was added that nothing had de- veloped in Germany so far as known, which could be regarded clearly as a violation of the armistice.
 Paris reports of uprising in cities along the Rhine attracted attention. as they were taken to indicate that prob ability that General Allen soon would come directly into touch with the new situation in Germany.

KAISER QUESTION
 NOW SERIOUS ONE

LONDON. March 14.-The reaction ary movement in Germany makes the kaiser question an acute one at Rot terdam, says the Times correspondent in that city. It is learned from reliable sources he adds. that the fixing of the former emeperor's future residence is being seriously considered. Meanwhile, extensive measures are being taken for any eVentuality.
 Though the kaiser is making elab crate plans for his stay there, it is by no means certain that Doorn will be his permanent residence. The government considers publicity might defeat the. object aimed at. Should the ex-kaiser kno wthat plans were being considered for his deportation to the West Indies efforts might be made for his escape.
 Evidently the former kaiser is being well posted on events; great activity prevails in his neighborhood and q con- stant stream of cars is going and coming.

YOUNG TURKS PARTY RETAINING CONTROL
 OF NATION, REPORT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, March H. The asccndancy to power of the old pro- German nationalist party in Turkey, which has resulted in the present Turkish crisis, is described for the first time in confidential reports re- ceived from Constantinople by Pro- lessor Derhagopian, of the Armenian national delegation to the peace con- ference. Copies or the reports have been submitted to the state departmnt.
 The nationalist party was supposed to have been crushed by operation of the armistice terms. but its present movement, under the leadership of Mustapha Komel, famous defender of the DardaneIles, is criticized as rival ing that of the committee of union and progress" which in 1908 de throned Sultan Abdul Hamid and pro- ceeded to the systematic repression of alien races in the Ottoman empire.
 According to the reports, the re- organization of the nationalists was started immediately after the signing of the armistice, Mus tapha being assisted by Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha and others among the young Turks who were supposed to have fled to Germany after Turkey surrendered. The party began it's activities outside the imme- diate sphere of the government in Constantinople, and had as it's object the reconquering of the territory of the empire held by the allies, preservation of all the old Ottoman empire north of a line drawn from Alexandretta to Mosul, along northern Arabia and eN- terminating of the non Moslem popu- lation of the empire.
 To bring about these ends. the re-
 
 Sanization of vast pan-Islamic movement among Afghars, Persians and Tartars in an effort to embarass the Occidental powers in possession Of Moslem colonies. Cooperation with the Russian bolsheviki also was planned.
 When the supreme council at Lon don approached the question of set uemen of the Turkish treaty of peace. the nationalist plot, the reports de- clare, suddenly took form with tho massacres in CiIicia. and the military activity of Mustapha Kennel in An atolia.
 On April g, 1919. a congress of
 young Turks" and clements attracted to the nationalist movement. presided over by Mustapha, was assembled at ErZerum. According to the reports it passed resolutions calling upon the young Turks" to resist all attempts made by the allied powers to occupy territories inhabited by Arlnenians and Creeks or to intervene in favor of the Greeks or Armenians"
 "Confronted by a movement which was disquieting as well as unwise." the report says. ''Damad Ferrid Pasha Tn accord with the sultan decided to react against it with energy. But these measures were be1ated. Must apha was acting in the provinces like not submit to the will of the national submit to the will of the national forces were persecuted and merciIessIv dealt with
 Mustapha appointed and discharged pupiic officials of all ranks. Cover nors were shot. Most of the military commanders belonged to the young Iurks party and so they espoused the cause of the national forces"

TEXAS TOWN |S
 SWEPT BY F|RE;
 1000 HOMELESS
Grandview, Texas, Is Prac- itcally Wiped Out by Flames Loss Estimated At $2,OOO, 900 W a t e r Supply Failure and Lack of Dynamite Robs Fire men of Weapons

FORT WORTH, Texas. March 14.- Grandview. a town of two thousand in habitants near here, was in ruins to- stroyed seven of it's eight business blocks and two hundred homes in the residential district. Approximately one thousand persons are homeless and the property loss is placed at be- tween s1,50O0O0 and s2,00O0e0, with indications. it was said, the latter figure was correct.
 The fire began carly in the after noon and was not controlled until mid- night. It was famed by a high wind.
 Fire fighting apparatus was brought in from nearby towns but late in the day the water supply became exhaust ed. Immediate relief is needed by the homeless residents of the town, it was said tonight.
 Fire departments from CleDurne. ItaSca and Alvarado responded to the alarm, but the water in the stand pipes gave out and after that the fire men were unable to do anything ex- cept watch the town burn. Dynamite could not be obtained.
 Inhabitants Cared For
  other vehicles were pressed into serv- ice to carry the homeless people to Alvarado and Itasca. Merchandise valued at hundreds of thousands of dol.ars was piled in the streets. Heavy loss was caused by water and smoke.
 Taking the shape of a ''V," the fire swept through the city, taking more .han two hundred homes in the best residential section. When it reached Main street hope was held out for the business section. as the wind was blowing north, but by some freak the wind veered, and the fire swept into the business section like a wave, en- gulfing every building in eight blocks.
 Mayor Williams of Grandview, called a mass meeting of all male citizens in the city park and under his direction, a committee of safety was named. The committee patrolled the fire-stricken section and salvaged goods wherever possible.
 The wind blew at such velocity that burning brands were carried for miles. A farm house three miles from Grand view caught fire and was destroyed.

Berlin Quiet

BERLIN, March 14-eMidnfsht)- The city at this hour is very quiet.
 There were a half million people in Unter Den Linden during the day, but no clashes with the troops were re- ported. The military patrols seem to have the situation in hand. but the real test is expected to come Monday or Tuesday, when the general strike prob ably will be in full swiHg.
 Chancellor Kapp today told the newspaper correspondents that the government would not hesitate to sup press forcibly and instruction by strikers. ,t-t--'
 As yet there is no visible political support for the new government. but reports indicate it is winning the sup port of troops in southern Germany and that it's prestige has risen con siderably since Saturday.
 The streets of Berlin exhibited their customary Sunday aspect during the day. Under Den Linden was crowded 1; people gathered in the sunshine to dis cuss the situation. One of the main attractions consisted of barbed wire ntanglements near Wilhelmstrasse and field guns and machine guns in front of the military guard at the Brandenburg gate. Brightly decorated vehicles conveying hundreds of persons moved toward the Mariendorff race course.
 The water supply is in a critical con- dition. The lack of water already has begun to cause general suffering.
 Toward noon the walters in the ho- tels ceased to work and the guests who had not been prudent enough to lunch earlier than usual had to hunt food for themselves. The Central hotel kitch- ems closed al noon and little more than dry bread, coffee, tea or cocoa were served.
