PEACE treaty KILLED
Versailles Pact Fails of Ratifica'
ton BY Senate.
Defeated Fourth Time BY Vote Of 40
TO 35-Document Sent Back To
President.

Washington.-The Treaty of Yer
sailles failed of ratification for the
fourth time, and the Senate has voted
to send it back to President Wilson
with notification that it had finally
refused to advise and consent to its
ratification"
On the decisive roll call the vote
was, ~ for ratification to IS against,
tho opposition numbering In it's ranks
20 Democrats who were unwilling to
sec the treaty go through with the Re-
publican reservations, objected to by
the President, and three Democrats
and IL Republican ."irreconcibahles. !"
Twenty-one Democrats quit the Presi-
dents lead and voted for ratification,
but the detection failed by seven votes
Of providing the two-thirds, requisite
to ratify.
Move to Reconsider Fails.
The result was regarded everywhere
in the capital as having put over into
the political campaign for decision the
long and bitter fight between the chief
executive and the Senate majority.
A move to reconsider the vote and
try once more to ratify collapses in its
inception, leaders on both sides agree
ing that further ratification efforts
would be a waste of time, as long as
the Senate membership remains as
it is
Whether the President would return
the treaty to the Senate remained un-
; determined, but the Republicans
served notice that if he did it would
rerose for many weeks to come in a
, committee pigeonh0le.
IN the vote of 40 to IS, by which the
Senate washed it's hands of the sub
ject and sent the treaty to the White
House, the Republican leaders had the
support of the mild reservationists,"
Is we'll as the "irreconsilables" of their
party, while the Democrats voted al
most solidly in opposition.
Peace Declaration Next Step.
The next step planed by the Senate
majority is a declaration of a state of
peace to relieve the nation of the war
status which, the Democrats maintain,
can be ended only by the treaty's rati.
fication.

HOW 1ER. ROOT CAN HELP

Presumably, Elihu Root has a large
measure of influence with the leaders
Of the Republican party. They have
sought and, in some important ,parti-
culars, have adopted his advice with re-
gard to the treaty of peace; even more
recently they have Pcra,irred him to
sound the @@keynote' of the Republican
campaign in New York State. Those
who manage the Republican party and
those who direct the Republican major
ity in Congress owe some sort of defer
ence to Mr.. Root 9 opinions and coun-
sci. -.
The case being as it is, why does
Mr.. Root waste time III criticism and
complaints of what he{appears to deem
the Government Is delay in completing
reconstructioll2 Instead Of condem1ing
the executive departments, why doesn Il
MI. Root turn to the Republican Con
gress which has; the power, which has
a program-presented to it by Presi:
dent Wilson in two different messages,
submitted months apart-and which un'
questionably has the obligation to leg.
islate for the welfare of the country
Reconstruction is delayed; peace is
postponed; domestic affairs and foreign
relations are in allegiance; the American
people are under restraint because the
Republican Congress refuses to perform
it's duty.
Fatuous and useless is this talk Of Re.
publican conventions and Republican
leaders about what should be done to
put the country: on peace-time basis
They know what is needed and whose
duty it is to supply the need. The
party in control of Congress is the party
which must take the initiative and as
sumo the responsibility. Let MI. Root
remind his fellow Republicans Of that
fact.-Bullefin.

Radicals Demand Concessions.
A cabinet council deliberated to dc.
termine the steps necessary to bring
Germany back to her position prior to

require considerable maneuvering and
delicate handling, for the Independent
socialists and workmen are making
heavy demands for concessions, to
which they feel they are entitled be-
caus0 OF the commanding position
some of the groups hold in parts Of
Germany outside OF Berlin.
The situation in parts of the country
appears serious. From tho group OF
industrial centers on the Rhine and
the Ruhr district continue to come
reports OF Spartacan agitation. In
several places, particularly the RUIZ
district, the Spartacans ARE said to be
IN absolute control. Here their avail
able force Is estimated at 10000.
Concentration OF loyal government
forces, however, are taking place, and
their arrival at the scenes Of disorder
