PARIS, June 1.-THE possibility
that the republicans OF the United
States may repudiate some Of the
promises made by President Wilson
in Paris has stirred the allied diplo-
mats.
France and England" said a high
ofncial In the French foreign ONCE
today, ARE bringing pressure to bear
on the White House for closer Amer
lean participation in the European
political negotiations. The President
has been asked to send an official
American representative to the Spa
conference next month, when the al
lies will fix the total indemnity and
methods of payment by Germany.
The allies hesitate to conclude
any agreements at Spa without Amer
lea, fearing the republicans will re-
pudtate President wilson's promise
that the United States would give
France and her allies priority in the
payment of reparations.
France and England do not wish
to interfere in American internal af-
fairs, and we do not think We are
doing so under the present circum-
stances in our efforts to get the Of
heidl american point OF view al spa
and at other future conferences
The ratification OF the treaty of
Versailles with reservations would be
entirely acceptable to France and
England. but we do not wish to
negotiate further without America.
thus possibly presenting the next
American President with disagree
able fait accompli"
It is admitted that American par
ticfpation at Spa and elsewhere may
not entirely preclude the possibility
Of American reputation later, but
the allies think that it is the only
thing to be done now to forestall
in a measure future American oppo-
sition.

rious opposition TO the denomination
of Senator Smith, and while the re-
publican opposition TO Mr.. Weller
started out with a great flourish OF
trumpets, and heating of tom-toms, II
gradually decreased in force and
noise. and finally died out. leaving MT.
Weller in quiet and undispnted pos
session of the field How the faction
opposed to Mr.. Weller will act later
on, is a problem. but the general inn
preston is that not few OF them viii
be found quietly voting against him
when the balloting takes place in No
vemher. AL any rate. the outlook is
for a stirring and strenuous year in
politics in both parties, and he will be
a wise man who can give any approx
nation of the result.
Governor Ritchie is quietly wind
ing up the work left over by the Cen
eral Assembly, and this week will see
the conclusion, with all the bills dis
posed OF. and the other matters out OF
he way. Next week he will take up
the question of the appointments to
several Important offices which must
be filled by the first OF next month.
He has been unusually careful in
making the appointments up TO the
present time. and there need he nc
fear. but that those who are chosen
10 take up the important positions re-
naming omen will be of equally high
standard. The Governor has a great
advantage in his personal knowledge
of those who are ready to enter the
public service. and he is not likely t.
make any serious mistakes.

passed in both Houses at this ses-
sion. But there is a possibility
that some sort of budget legisla
ton will be agreed upon and
passed.
Granting that budget legisla-
ton will be approved and that a
bill for adjusted compensation
for soldiers will get through. the
record for thirteen months OF this
Congress will be:
Passed annual appropriation
measures, which must be enacted
yearly for the government to
junction and which should not
require more than two months of
the time Of any Congress.
Passed railroad bill. which &C
tually held the attention of Con
gross as a whole about ten days.
Budget legislation, which
should not require more than
two weeks.
Soldier adjusted compensation
legislation, which should require
not more than one week.
In all. the work done by this
congress should not have re-
1uired more than five months Of
real and sincere effort. But thir-
teen months of Congress divided
II two sessions, will have beer
required to pass this legislation
OF course, The Record will BIZ
illed with discussions of private
bills, etc, but it will be guam
.ity record" and is really a rec
ord of problems avoided and o
almost complete success in thc
Ian to do nothing. This was thu
)lan of the Republican leader.
when this session was convened
because of the desire for partisan
'easons, to postpone considera
ion of all important matters I'm

LETTER TO EDITOR

Political Affairs OF Both Democrats
And Republicans, Peaceful 4 Few
Days Ago. Now In Upset Condition,
Writes Correspondent.
70 the Editor of the EUeniRg Capital:
The peaceful condition of political
fairs, in both the republican and
democratic parties. which existed on
he surface last week when the Gen
rial Assembly adjourned, has been
suddenly upset. and today. Baltimore
5 in the throes of a red-hot contest,
which will not terminate until after
he primaries on the first Monday in
Nay: and there is no telling, but
h a t the fight NAV extend be
'ond that time. In fact. there is
very indication that chaos has brok-
m loose in the ranks of both parties
iere in the city. and chaos of the
EARNEST sort is evident on all sides,
mOng all sorts and conditions of
oliticians. And warm as the situa-
ion is now. there is no doubt. but
hat ii will increase in warmth and
igor as the days pass by. and that
he really red-hot stage will be reach
d long before the polls are open on
he first Monday in May
The fight is opening up all along
he line. and the strange part of it is,
hat in 10th parties it is not fight
or any particular principle, or for
my particular candidate for office.
The democratic factions are lining up
2ehind a ticket for delegates to the
State Convention, without any definite
dea of concern as to who may be
named for President in San Fran
,isco. but simply and solely to show
Who is in control There are no con-
ests for the Congressional or Sena-
oTial nominations. and the fight
among the Democrats is apparently
nnly fight for the sake of having a
ight-simply that and nothing more.
md 10th sides are displaying as much
interest and enthusiasm in this fight
or the mere joy of fighting as if the
ate of the whole partyi ticket de-
pended on its outcome. And so far,
he State leaders, both in and out of
he city are taking part, no sides, for
[ is one of those factional contests
which are like red-hot poker-no
natter where or how you seize it, you
IRE sure to get burned.
The republican fight, however, is
ltout to develop into a real battle be-
tween candidates for the Presiden-
ial nomination. How many will en-
.er the contest is not known. but
here seems to be no doubt that Sena-
.or Johnson, and General Wood, will
be on hand. and possibly Mr.. Hoover,
and perhaps others. The democrats
don't seem to be worrying as to their
aominee. although the general inn
preston is that Mr.. McAdoo will have
the call so far as Maryland is con-
cerned. in the final wind-up at San
Francisco. but he would make a haZ
ardous prediction who would attempt
% forecast who viii have the call on
Maryland in the republican conven-
tion at Chicago.
1t is now certain that the opposing
candidates for the United States SEN
ate. will be Senator John Walter
Smith. on the democratic side. and
Mr.. o. E. Weller on the republican
side. There has never been any Sc
