 But tonight only half the mystery was solved. Having identified the phials as part of those made in the United States and encased in vacuum, tubes for shipment overseas for use by individual soldiers, the authori- ties were still unable to answer the quecstion of how, nearly two years after fighting had ended, the phials came to be washed ashore at sum- mer resorts.

Annapolis, March 14.-America must as- sune some gigantic task of world serv- ice or be 'recreant to the conservation we made on April g. 1s17." Secretary Daniels said here today, speaking to the rnidshipmen of the naval academy.
 .'The problem of world statesmanship today he said, ''is to find some task that will fire the national imagination and ennoble national enthusiasm.

It is our duty to accept mandatory for Turkey with the blessings to the world that would follow. Is it our job to give more and more aid in the development of Mexico and our Central and South American neighbors.
 ssIt is not for me to say what great stunt of altruistic service must com mand our national resource and service. one thing is true. America must find a task of world blessing and mobilize itself for its accomplishment without sell fish aim, or we shall be recreant to the consecration we made on April S. 1917, and be unworthy 10 claim fellowship with the youths who sealed their devotion to free government with their blood"

SENATE'S VERDICT ON ARTICLE ID ID
 BE GIVEN TODAY Compromise Advocates, Hopeless, Continue Eff forts to Arrive at
 Agreement
sy A..eeIstsa rrs..

wanhinEton, March 14.--The Sen-
 ate's verdict on Article 10. by
 which is conceded that ratifica-
 t1en of the peace treaty is to stand
 or fall, will be pronounced tomcr-
 TOW under ., unanimous consent
 agreement providing for final
 vote before adjournment.
 Democratic and republican advocates of a compromise, though discouraged almost to the point of hopelessness, still were working desperately tonight to secure adoption of a reservation which would command support enough to insure ratification. Some of them hoped they might reach that end by alterations in the republican substitute presented Friday Others hoped the substitute as it stands would be ac- cepted by the requisite number of dem ocrats. But all leaders agreed either of these possibilities was very remote.
 With the support of the irreconcila- bles, who swung back into the repub- lican ranks yesterday after they had secured a modification in the substi- tute, republican leaders count on solid party lineup. constituting ma iority of the Senate in favor of the substitute and against any proposal to change it. Scattering democratic votes also are expected to help reject pro posed amendments and finally to obtain adoption of the reservation in place Of the one adopted last November.
 That eventuaIity, say the admin
 fstration leaders, will mean without
 a doubt that the treaty again will
 fail of ratification and that the
 issuen of the long fight will be
 thrust undecided into the political
 campaign.
 Both the administration forces and the democrats who favor acceptance or the republican reservation in sub stance are expected to make fight to- morrow to get in amendments that will gain democratic support while several senators have substitutes of their own on which they will ask roll calls. In the main however, these moves are expected by the leaders to be largely perfunctory unless some unexpected element is expected into the debate One new topic which it was sug- gested might be brought into the dis cussion was the revolution in Ger many and steps of the allies to deal with it. On both sides 1t was con- fceded, however, that European devel- oprnents of the past few days. probably ywould have no effect Oh the treaty out- 3eonre, merely raising again and in 3 .Jrew way the same questions of policy (which have been debated for months in with the obligations of Ar ktic1e f0 1! On these Issues the Senate has talked itself out and the leaders do not be- lieve further discussion will change any votes The disposition on all sides seemed to night to get 1t all over with as soon as possible. and some senators were predicting a vote on ratification itself might be reached by Wednesday or Thursday. It was suggested, how ever, there might be some delay on account of the absence of several sena- tors who have been away on official business or in connection with the presidential campaign.
