 Believe Escape Impossible
 Gen Samuel de los Santos. acting head Of the war department. told the Associated Press last night that it was virtually impossible for Carranza to reach Vera Cruz by rail. since Gen. Guadalupe Sanchez had revoIted in the vicinity Of that port. and was holding the railway line, which also had been cut III numerous places between Otumba and the coast.
 General Santos said that flight orfhward was impossible, since the forces of San Luis Potosi and Quere- taro were guarding the lines in that direction. should Carranza attempt to reach the Tampico region, General Santos added he would face innu- merable perils. since the district was controlled hy the followers Of Felix Diaz and Manuel Pelaez, with Gen. Arnulfo Gomez, with about 1000 Yaauis threatening Tuxpam, Vera Cruz.
 Apparently Carranzas attempts to evacuate the capital in force and estab- fish headquarters in Vera Cruz which had been stocked with ammunition and supplies more than month ago by Gen. Candido Aguillar, has been a complete failure

 RE ESTABLISH
 PEACE ADOPTED
Three Democrats Align with Republicans to Give the Measure Safe Majority - Leaders Predict Treaty Will Remain Unratified Indefinitely
TRepubliean A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. May 15.-With few thrills and no hitch in the prearranged program, the senate adopted today, 43 to 3S, the Republican resolution declar- ing the state of war with Germany ana Austria Hungary at an end
 The measure was in the form of substitute for the peace resolution re- gently adopted by the house, which dealt with Germany alone
 The two proposals will be adjusted in conference beginning next week, the result to be endorsed by both houses and the final resolution be sent 10 the president for signature.
 Presidential Veto Certain
 That the president will veto # is foregone conclusion. unchanenged by any speaker during debate in the house or senate. It is uncertain when the final resolution will reach the White House. but Republican leaders anticipate no difficulty in putting through a conference draft with lit tie delay. The senate substitute goes to the house Monday.
 The senate vote today gave the ma jority of five predicted by Democratic leaders for the Knox substitute and fhe party alignment was about that anticipated. Three Democrats. Reed # Missouri Shields of Tennessee and Walsh of Massachusetts, joined the Republicans in supporting the reso-
  of North Dakota. who was paired and Nelson of Minnesota, lined up with the Democratic opposition.
 Predictions by leaders on both sides that the treaty of Versailles would re- main, in it's present unratified position indefinitely were made during the de- bate Senator Underwood of Alabama in his first speech in his new role of Democratic leader. declared the Re publicans apparently had ''foreclosed" action on the treaty for the present session Of Congress. From the Re- publican side Senator Hardin of Ohio declared the resolution was demon stration against .one man rule or President Wilson.
 The resolution was denounced as futile, 1mpotent, useless and done for no other than political purposes, to deceive the people by Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska. administration spokesman He also reiterated, against Republican deniaIs. that Pres ident Wilson's announcements had "pIedged' the nation to the league of nations.
 Says Treaty Full of Injustices
 Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, in explaining to the senate his vote in support of the Knox resolution, said:
 .'In my opinion the treaty of Yer sailles is so full of international in- justices that it is q service to our country to do whatever we can to pre- vent ratification in it's original form
 The Knox resolution. he added. twas the only constructive measure suggest ed tending to remove the chaotic state of the country" and protested. against his party being compelled to make any such defense in the next election of the international injustices and rob- bery." which he said had been placed in the treaty.

MAKING MORE MONEY.
How Frances Clyne Did 1t.

In Frances C7yne's family they tell
a story about her at the age of five
which goes to prove that the in
stincts of later life are apparent.
One rainy day, so the story goes,
her mother came home and found the
little girl busily engaged in ripping
Mrs: C1yne's best hat to pieces. -,
What are you doing doing that for r.
child replied: Because I don't like
it the way it is and I think I could
make it look prettier."
AS might have been expected,
Frances continued to evince an in
terest in millinery, and at the earliest
possible moment she insisted on going
to work in a wholesale millinery es
adjustment, drawing SO a week as
a trimmer. There she stayed for
nine years, gaining experience in the
making and adjoining of hats and
the ability until she was getting $27
a week. Out of this she carefully
saved and scrimped until she had
several hundred dollars in the bank
enough to finance the apparently
wild dream which she had for many
years, that of taking trip to Paris
during the buying season.. Every
penny of the fund was expended for
that purpose, but, when Miss Clyne
returned home, she had instead OF
her bank balance, a first-hand
knowledge of what weli-dressed
women would wear during the mex.
season, plus the ability to apply this
knowledge successfully. She was in
a position to capitalize her years of
experience and had no difficulty in
securing a position which paid nearly
double her previous salary. She did
not remain there, however. The
fame of her unfailing good taste
spread to the Pacific coast and re-
Gently she accepted an offer at a
buyer of a combination of specially
shops in San Francisco.
