that he will accept it with the senate
reservations substantially unchanged,
and to the senate to recommend rau-
fication on that basis. This Is the
only Indication hat has been given
anywhere that the treaty is still sup
posed anywhere to be q living thing.
In view of what has taken place there
is not the remotest chance that the
president will send the treaty back as
suggested, or hat if he were to do
so the senate would act ,favorably on
it.
The house is taking the initiative
in the matter of the resolution de-
claring the war at an end. For tacti-
cal reasons it was decided some time
ago that action in this direction
should originate in the house, there
fore the senate resolution on the same
subject is not to be pressed. 1t a
been decided that after a short time
permitted for debate the resolution
shall come up for a vote mex Fri
day. The resolution sets forth in SUBJ
stance that the war with Germany is
at an end, and that relations shall be
resumed with Germany provided
Germany complies with the condi-
tions to which she would have been
subjected had the United States rati-
fled the treaty Of Versailles. The
form of the resolution has brought
forth the criticism that by means Of it
the United States is trying 20 avail
herself of the provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty without accepting that
document. 1t is generally accepted
that the resolution will receive a ma
jority in each house and that the

passed over the veto.

There has been a good deal Of
curiosity as to whether or not Presi-
dent Wilson would be Il candidate for
denomination. The inquiry ad-
dressed to- him from Georgia ask
ing what HIS attitude was with refer
ence to the placing of his name on
the primary ballot in that state in
accordance with the petitions of the
requisite number of voters gave him
an opportunity to make his wishes
known. No response to the inquiry
was received from the White House.
and .Nr. Wilson's name will appear
on the Georgia ballots. One guess
as to the meaning of this may be as
good as another. but it is certain that
the president has not yet seen fit to
remove himself definitely from the
field as a possible presidential candi-
date.

smediately following the ATTEMPTED
revolution by reactionary elements
the Ebert government has lined itself
up rather definitely with the old pan
German group. Practically no steps
ave been taken for the punishment
OF those Immediately responsible for
n uprising. The soldiers from the
Baltic provinces, before whose entry
into Berlin, the Ebert cabinet fled,
remain armed and apparently in good
standing, and it was the intent of the
government to send those sa me troops
to the troubled Ruhr distric, for the
purpose of restbring order. The Al

French, wrecked that plan 9v thcir
