In attempting to rid the country OF

the progress made has been very slow

be expected when you consider how
very little is positively known OF the
life and habits of these insects, or
when considering swamps, stagnant

TREATY DEADLOCK
NOT YET BROKEN
SENATORS ARE pESSIMlSTiC

COMPROMISE.
DISCUSSIONS WILL CONTINUE
Because IL Is Believed Publicity
Might Be Harmful Participators
They Are Chary of Public
Discussion.

Washington. Preliminary to the
second conference of the bipartisan
committee OF Senate leaders discuss
ing compromise of the peace treaty
deadlock, Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, Republican leader, and two of
his colleagues, Senators Lenrott OF
Wisconsin and Kellogg of Minnesota,
conferred regarding the proposals re-
ceived from the Democrats. There
was less optimism for success of the
present movement, although the
formidable" discussions are expect
ed to continue.
because it is believed publicity
might be harmful, those participating
in the conferences are chary of pub.
lie discussion. In private converse
tons, however, spOkkesmen of both
factions said there still was a wide
gulf to be preached. Leading the OBJ
stacles is the reservation affecting
Article 10 of the League of Nations
covenant, and on this neither side is
showing much disposition toward
agreement.
In addition to the conference be-
tween Senator Lodge and the two
mild reservation" Republicans who
are on the informal Republican com
mittee. the Republican leader saw
Senator Borah. Republican of Idaho,
one of the leading foes of the treaty.
Mr.. Borah and Senator Johnson, Re.
publican, California, another treaty
opponent, also conferred on the situa-
ton.
On the Democratic side many con-
ferences were also held, with Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the admins
tration leader, Senator Mcclellan of
Tennessee, Kendrick Of Wyoming,
Simmons of North Carolina and sew,
eral others as participants. Several
of the mild reservation" Republicans
also held a meeting, but develop
ments awaited tomorrow's session OF

CLEMENCEAU AND
CABINET RESIGN
poINcARE ASKS MILLERAND TO
FORM A NEW CABINET
IN NEAR FUTURE.
RESERVATIONS ARE RECEIVED
The Retirement Of the Tiger From
the Peace Council Affair Is
Likely To Complicate
Matters.

Paris. - The cabinet of Premier
Clemenceau has resigned. President
Poincare asked Alexander Millerand,
governor of Alsace, to form a new
cabinet. NJ. Millerand will give his
answer soon. The outgoing ministry
has been in office since November 10,
1917. NJ. Millerand was first called to
the Flysee palace, where he remained
10 minutes with President Poincare.
He then conferred with President
elect Deschanel, NJ. Clemenceau and
Leon Bourgeois, president of the Ma
tional Assembly, at their homes. He
returned to the Elysee palace, when
NJ. Poincare formally requested him
to form a cabinet to succeed that or
NJ. Clemenceau.
NJ. Millerand promised to give his
decision. He said President Poincare
had asked him to consult with NJ.
Deschanel before undertaking the
task. He said that he had held long
ard cordial conversation with NJ.
Deschanel, who gave him his best
wishes for success.
President Poincare, after receiving
Premier Clemenceau and all the min
listers and secretaries and receiving
their designations, kept Nj. Clemen-
ceau quarters of an hour. He
expressed the gratitude of France for
the premier's services and his person
al appreciation of their excellent re-
lations.
President Poincare visited NJ. Des-
chanel at the Bourbon palace to dis
cussthe situation and decide who
would lie entrusted with forming the
cabinet. He then received NJ. Bour'
geois at the Elysee palace to consult
with him regarding the choice OF a
premier.
According to the Ouuvre, Nj. Des'
chanel has informed his friends that
| NJ. Millerand will be the first premier
of his term as president.

STORY OF MURDER
And OUTRAGE TOLD
SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS OF
THE BLOODY DEEDS IN
MEXICO.

San Antonio, Tex. - Stories of ter
rible cruelty, unredressed murders
and devastation of properties were
given the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating the Mexican situation by
men yet in close touch with condi-
tions in Mexico. T. NJ. McBee, cat
tleman from a border town; James J.
Britt, a lawyer from Tampico, and
George E. Blalock, once the head OF
what was the largest colony OF Amer
lean farmers in Mexico and now Ope-
rating a small grocery store here,
were the witnesses. The effect of
their testimony was to strengthen the
claims of witnesses heard in Wash
ington that the insecurity OF Ameri-
can life and property in Mexican is
growing greater.
Britt, who reminded the committee
that he is not employed by any oil
company, said that American life was
worth more in the Argonne than it is
today in the country about Tampico."
He entered the United States only
two days ago. He is one of the men
who assisted in caring for the bodies
of F. J. Roney and Earl Boles, who
were killed in the oil fields on Deem
Der 80. The three had dined together
on Christmas Day.
Britt appeared confident that the
men we're killed by Carranzas sol
diers.
They were killed within the Car
rama lines" he said, land the bull
| lets we took from their bodies were
those used by the government SOL
diers and not by bandits. Moreover,
Boles after he had been brought to
the ground by a bullet in his ankle,
was attacked from behind by ma
with a machete. The blade wa
thrust far into his body, turneo
downward and then up again. The
rebels in that part of the country do
not carry machetes. The soldiers
do"
His theory that the killing was
done by soldiers was further support
ed by telling how the paymaster OF
one of the oil companies who looks
like Roney did, received permission
about the same time the two had left
to carry a certain amount of money
into the oil fields. This information
was transmitted to the CarranZistas
Britt believes those who killed Roney
and Boles believed they were killing
the paymaster and someone else.

EX-KAISER WILL
PROBABLY ESCAPE
BELIEF is THAT WILHELM WILL
NEVER BE BROUGHT
TO TRIAL.

Paris-The former kaiser Will
never be tried by the allies, and II
is doubtful If informal requisition Will
ever be presented TO Holland.
This seems positive after dill
gent inquiry in best informed cir
cles.
Mr.. Lloyd George is the only per-
son who ever pretends to maintain
any interest in trying the former kai
ser. and from certain quarters in a po-
sition to know, it is learned that the
British prime minister is going ahead
with preparations for the extradition
of w. HohenZollern, although ne
knows full we'll it will never come 10
pass.
During the war both the British
and French people were often assur'
ed by the leaders that the guilty Kali
ser would be hanged as soon as the
war was won. The Belgians never
bothered much about William, and
the Italians had no antipathy for him
When the peace conference start
ed, President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing both said that the former
kaiser could not be tried. Mr.
Lloyd George applied the strongest
measure, recalling how he publicly
promised his constituents to try the
war lord, and finally Mr.. Lansing
agreed that the United States would
participate, but he recommended al
inter-allied tribunal merely attach the
stigma of responsibility for starting
the world war on the former kaiser
and to make it a sort of moral pun
ishment and to let it go at that.
Meanwhile, the Japanese, who hat
been keeping mum, broke the silence
by saying that as long as the United
States took that attitude they agreed
also, and opposed any proposal fol
trying the former kaiser criminally
Belgium came out few days late
former kaiser would be held on Bel
with statement that no trial OF thu
gian soil, and the Belgians took NJ
interest in Mr.. Lloyd Georges plans
for bringing Mr.. Hohenzollern to jus
| tice.
