REPUBLICANS AGREE .ON GENERAL POLICY
 OF J. s. IN FUTURE
Present New Reservation Declaring America Would View With Grave Con- cern" Future Up
 heavals
By Associated Pres,

Washington, March 16.--A general declaration of international policy, under which the United States would view with grave concern" any future upheaval theratening the peace and freedom of Europe, WAS agreed on by republican Senate leaders today and presented as new reservation to the peace treaty.
 Intended to replace the more definite pledges of Article 10. the reservation is to be pressed in the Senate as the farthest step the republican leaders are willing to go toward abandonment Of American isola ation and participation in European conflicts. It's text follows;
 "rt shnll be the declared policy of
 this government that the freedom
 and peace of Europe being again
 threatened by any power com
 bination of powers, the United
 States will regard such situ-
 atiOn with grave concern. and
 will consider what if any action it
 will take fin the premises.'
 DRAFTED BY LENRO0T
 Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, draft ed the reservation in consultation with other republican leaders and introduced 1t in the Senate at the end of a day of debate on the Irish question. which de- layed action and blocked the plan to set day for a final vote on the treaty's ratification. It generally was predict ed tonight, however, that discussion of the remaining issues of the contro- versy soon would spend itself and that the ratification roll call would come Friday or Saturday.
 Not many democrats had had an op- portunity to study the ne wrepublican proposal. and it was uncertain how much support it would command from that side of the cchamber. Some sena- tors predicted, however, that it might have the effect of softening the resent ment of the administration over the re- l publican Article 10 reservation and l win over enough more democratic I votes to ratify the treaty.
 FURTHER GAINS CLAIMED A claim of further gains in breaking 1 down administration resistance Wal made on the republican side during thu i day and some of the republican lead CTS were asserting tonight that the rol | call would show total very close t' 1 the two-thirds required to ratify witt 1 tContinued on Page Two)

 ports that the school of medicine at Mo-
 bile has been reduced from Class A to

By As,oslat.d Prs,,

The new Kapp government at Berlin has not found the support it had looked for. and while it's hold on ths administrative activi- ties is r1ing weaker, the strength President Ebert and his supp ' s, including the mem bers of ~ national assembly at Stuttg Stas increased materially, if alf Q Sorts are to be believed. Cons g Shtly Ebert's return to Ber- lin S $ early date is confidently prES Ed in some quarters.
 Wolfgang Kapp has vir- tual~ reached the end of his re- sources, so far as concerns himself as head of the revolutionary move ment, is evidenced by the fact that he is said to have been ready to retire since Saturday, but was per suaded by Colonel Bauer, leader of the royalist party, and Major General Ludendorff to remain.
 General Groener, the Prussian war minister, the Frankfurter Zei- tung asserts, has telegraphed to Field Marshal von Hindenburg that in his opinion the kapp-Von Luettwitz government is an im- possible one, whether from the viewpoint of home affairs or for eign affairs. Groeners is quoted as saynig; that Won Hindenburg is the idol of the German people, and a word from him would bring back the regular troops to a cqnstitu- tional basis.
 Won Hindenburg has written to Dr. Kapp advising him to with draw from his position. and has ad- vised President Ebert to call for new elections. Thus far, however, what the constitutional President intends to do is not known in Berlin. But the future action of the national assembly will prob ably decide his attitude. Those who enthusiastically believed Ebert might

Frank w. Agan, His Politics.

He came into the present campaign
at the suggestion of his fellow-towns-
men in Ludlow, 400 Of whom organized
an Agan club under the auspices of
which his entire campaign is being di-
rectcd
Mr.. Agan has paid no campaign man
agcr, no publicity director, no paid
workers III any part of the state. His
campaign expenses are being handled
bv the local officers of his club, and
the books are open for inspection at
any time.
His platform is the shortest on rec
ord and his campaign slogan is ex-
pressed in the following words:-
"For the present, 1 intend to advo-
cate the return of their personal rights
to all the people Of Vermont. L believe
they are capable of government"
Confronted by a demand for the es-
adjustment of a slush fund and a paid
organization of hired helpers, Mr.. Agan
said recently
''Not one paid worker, solicitor OF
canvasser will be employed by me in
any county of the state. I was sur
prised to learn that some of my com
petitors already lave made such ar
engagements w;lio-' are clearly in viola
ton of the law of the state.''
