Treaty's Defeat Betrays
Democracy, Says Bryan
Colossal Crime Against America
and Whole World, Com.
unOner Asserts


NEW HAVEN, March 2o.-William
Jennings Bryan, who was on his way
to Boston from New York to-day, in an
interview on the rejection of the
treaty, said:
"The defeat Of the treaty is a colossal
crime against our own country and the
world If we allow minority of the
Senate to dictate the policy of the Sem
ate on this momentous question we be-
try democracy and turn our faces
backward toward arbitrary power, and
arbitrary power as exercised by a few
is scarcely less hateful than arbitrary
power as exercised by one"
Mr.. Bryan also said: "The action of
the Senate is the more disgraceful be-
cause the rejection was brought about
by union between a group Of Demo-
Gratis and the irreconcilable foes of the
treaty, whom the Democrats have been
denouncing for eight months. If the
action of the Senate is permitted to
stand we invite confusion at home and
chaos abroad. But the action of the
Senate should not be allowed to stand
as the verdict of the nation. The ma
jority in Congress should assert itself
at once, first, by declaring the war
at an end; second, by declaring in
favor Of the nations participation in
the league of nations on such terms
as the majority shall agree upon;
third, by proposing an amendment to;
the Constitution permitting major
ity of the Senate and House to ratify
treaty by joint resolution, and in the
same way define the nations foreign
policy, thus making it as easy to end
war as to begin it.
''In the mean time the people should
wire and write to Senators and the
President urging ratification. A change
of four votes will be sufficient"

Inc American Senate has sureIv

they have an undoupted element of

cal patriots among US who may be
easily worked up by certain interested
writers and speakers to resentment of
american interference with purely

SENATORS would do we'll to remember
especially at the moment when it is
OF vita! Importance to the world that
Angio-American relations should be

"At the same time, the Senate's un-

Lloyd George Says Turk
Cannot Escape Justice

LONDON, March 20.--Premier Lloyd
George yesterday discussed the Turkish
question with the Indian caliphate dsle-
cation headed by Mohamed Ali, who de-
clared that Turkey should have all her
pre-war territory restored. The Pre-
mier replied:
II do not understand Mr.. Mohamed
Ali to claim indulgence for Turkey; he
claims justice and justice she will get.
Austria has had Justice: Germany has
had justice-pretty terrible justice.
Why should Turkey escape?
Turkey thought she had feud
with us. Why did she come in and
try to stab US and destroy liberty
throughout the world while we were
engaged in this life-and-death strug-
gle?
us there any reason why we should
apply a different measure to Turkey
than we meted out to the Christian
communities of Germany and Austria ?
II want the Mahometans to get it we'll
into their minds that we are. not treat
ing Turkey severely because she is
Mahometan. We are applying equally
the same principle to her as to Austria,
which is the greatest Christian COM
munity."
Referring to the temporal power of
the caliphate the Premier said he could
not interfere in religious question. in
which Mahometans themselves differed
The delegation requested that the
Armenian massacres be investigated by
an international commission on which
the Moslems were represented.
Regarding the Armenian massacres,
the Premier said the Allies were bound
in the interests of civilization to exer-
else control of some sort, since the
Turkish government was incapable of
protecting its own subjects.
~ want to give this feeling to the
Mussulmans of India, who stood loyalty
by the throne and the empire" said
the Premier: "We recognize that they
have the right to be heard in matter
which especially affects Islam. We have
largely deferred to their wishes in the
matter. The settlement was very large
ly affected by the opinion of the Mus
sulmans of India"

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, March CO.
The superdreadnought Maryland, de-
signed as the most powerful battleship
in the world, was launched here to-day
with Mrs. E. Brooke Lee, wife Of the
Comptroller of the State of Maryland.
as sponsor.
Secretary Daniels, Governor Richie
of Maryland. and a number of other
naval officials and state officers attended
the launching. which was the first pub
lie one held here since the United
States entered the war.
Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Harris Franklin
and Mrs. Henry V. Cabell, of Maryland,
were Mrs. Lees matrons of honor. Rear
Admiral Fletcher, commandant of tho
9Th Naval District; Rear Admiral Bur
rage, of the Hampton Roads Naval Base.
and Brigadier General Hagood, COM
mander of Camp Eustis, also were in
the launching party, which later in
spected the shipyard, Fortress Monroe
and the Hampton Roads Naval Base.
Secretary Daniels made the trip on
the Presidential yacht Mayfower, on
which the post launching luncheon was
ing the Maryland delegation in Con-
gress, was late in arriving as the re-
suit of grounding on sand bar near
Old Point, and those on board did not
see the launching.
The Maryland is the first of four
ships of her class to be launched and
is one of the ten supe
authorized in the first three-year build
ing program adopted in 1916. With a
length of 624 feet over all, beam of
81 feet and full load displacement of
32,95o tons, she is the largest fighting
craft built for the American navy, and
IN ,Jcci L.
most powerful battleships in the world.
Originally designed to carry twelve
14-inch rifles, the plans for the ship
were SO changed during the war that
she will have instead eight 16-inch
guns-the first of this size ever mounted
on ship. They will be placed two
each in four turrets on the center
line, two forward and two aft. They
will be larger by one inch than the
great guns of the British ships Of the
Queen Elizabeth class, which were used
in the bombardment of the Dardanelles

Burles0n Rebuked
As Women g Critic

From The Tribuns's Washington Bu,saa
WASHINGTON, March 90
Postmaster General Burleson, at
a dinner party last week, was
talking of the part American
women played in the war. He
deplored at some length their
spending energy in seeking pub
licity, getting their pictures in
the newspapers, and donning new
and attractive uniforms. Eng
lish women, he said, buckled down
to war work with better spirit,
and infinitely greater practical
results.
Mrs. George Barnett, wife of
the commandant of the Marine
Corps, listened with rising ire.
"Mr. Postmaster General" she
broke in at last, ~ perceive that
you are as ignorant of the Amer
lean female as you are Of the
American mail"

Thus far the identity of the murder
ers has not been discovered, nor has
any motive for the murder been as
signed. 1t is held that the crime could
not have been committed by Sim Fein-
ers against one of their own number.
and many residents of Cork are ex-
pressing fear of reprisals which may
affect all of Ireland.
The murder of MacCurtain followed
an attempt Thursday night against the
life of Professor Stockley, who was an
Alderman in the Cork Corporation in
the Sim Fein interests.
The City Hall was closed to-day and
all business in the municipal offices was
suspended. The Sim Fein flag f1oated
at half mast over the building and a
mourning card on the main entrance
door bore the inscription: "Closed in
consequence of the death of Thomas
MacCurtain, first Republican Lord
Mayor of Cork" Various functions
connected with the public life of the
city have been cancelled.
