Both Republican and Democratic lead

Opposition to the resolution from
those who have fought so bitterly for
the adoption of the Versailles treaty
was assumed, but opponents of the
treaty and the league of nations were
confident its passage would be OBJ
tanned with considerably more than a
majority and that the affirmative vote
would include fair percentage of
Democrats as was the case in the

Republican leaders were not optimis-

in either House the necessary two

BRITISH CONSIDER
NOTE CONCILIATORY
Because France Expresses Desire for
an Allied Conference on the
Fiume Troop Move
nient.

London, April l0.-The reply o.
France 70 the British note on the ac
tion taken by France in occupying ad
ditional German territory. was received
in London to-day. The note main.
tains that France gave Great Britain
ample warning on April that Franc,
considered il necessary 70 take mill
tary steps if Germany failed to with.
draw her troops.
The reply mentions the unratified
treaty drawn up between France, Great
Britain and the United States for the
protection of France, presents proofs
of Germany's violation of the peace
treaty, and concludes with an EXPIRES
sion of the wish of France to act in
accordance with the wishes Of the al
lies and a hope for further conferences
on the subject.
The British foreign office has not
stated what form the French warning
took, but il Is assumed that il was
presented verbally by Ambassador
Camdon.
Notwithstanding the insistence Of
France that there was no alternative
for her in the circumstances except oc-
cupation Of German territory and de-
nial of the statements that she had
acted without warning. officials here
view the note as conciliatory, because
Of the expressed desire OF the French
for an allied conference.
This view is emphasized by the fact
that Premier Lloyd George left to-day
for San Reno. although It was star ed
yesterday that he might postpone his
departure

| Everybody who is interested or be-
| lieyes in Herbert Hoover and believes
that this interest and belief should be

mind freely upon the great question OF
Herbert Hoover's candidacy for pres
dent of the United States.

patriotism of the women of America

ganization was attempting TO capital
ize this loyalty, and this invitation is
not extended in any such spirit. but it
is thought that the women, inasmueh
as they have full franchise in a major
ity of the states and it is probably
true that they viii so enjoy such fran-'
chise in all of them in the near future,
should be asked to attend

formed, membership in which will be
open to all who care to join, regardless

whole, but big oaks from little acorns
grow" The rest of the state is watch
ing Barre.

made an inquiry to determine whether
a food shortage threatens az result
of the strike. Chairman Sherburne
said that early data shows conflict
of opinion among wholesalers, but that

Informs Great Britain That
Warning of Troop Move
ment Had Been Given
GERMANY FAILED
ON TREATY TERMS
And Use of Supplementary
Troops by Germany Was
Another Violation

Paris, April lO.--The note sent yes
terday by Premier Millerand to fht
British government, in reply to thu
British note with regard to the action
of France in sending troops into the
neutral zone in Germany, says:
The French government affirms first
of all that no doubt can be felt of the
loyalty of its attitude. The allies
have been constantly informed of its
policy. The French government has al.
ways opposed the entry of supplement
tary German troops into the Ruhr re-
gion and has added that the authorize
tion for such an entry must have a
counterpart in the occupation OF
Frankfort and Darmstadt.
''0n April its representatives in all
the allied capitals informed the gov
ernments to which they were accredited
lat the same time epy being sent to
the allied representatives in Parlsl !.
that Marshal Foch's measures could no
longer be postponed, furthermore, the
French government recalled that the
matter concerned the violation of one
of the most solemn clauses of the
treaty signed by France, and that the
German government had formally rec
ognized that formal authorization, Civ.
en- advance, was necessary for such a
derogation and that France had the
right to ask for territorial guarau-
tees
How could the government of
France have been satisfied with the
German promise to withdraw the
troops when order had been restored
Neither for repsrations nor for the de-
livery of the war-guilty, nor for coal,
have the allies received the stipulated
satisfaction.
"The question could be asked when
the British government, which no
doubt has not measured the danger Of
these systematic violations would stop
in the path OF concessions. France, in
any case, was obliged TO say; That is
enough
'The French government is no less
convinced than the English government
of the essential necessities OF main
tanning unity Of the allies for the ap.
plication of the treoty with Germany.
This close concert Of France and Eng
land appears 10 France equally indis.
pensabe for the equitable solution Of
the vast problems which are presented
at this moment in the world lin Rus
sia, the Baltic, Asia Minor and all ehe
Balkans"
The note closes with assurances that
the French government for the promo
tion Of these ends declares itself en-
tirely disposed, before acting, TO be
assured Of the consent OF the allies in
all inter.allied questions which the
execution of the treaty raises.
