OPPOSE TREATY
AS AN ISSUE
Chairman Hays in Denver De-
clares Split Between Wilson
and Bryan Is "The Demo-
Gratis Own Funeral"

Denever, Colo, Jan. 9.-Republican
ma ajority leaders do not favor making
the peace treaty campaign issue.
They look forward to a compromise
settlement on reservations that Eng
land and France are certain to ac-
cept." But should the treaty go into
the campaign the Republicans are con-
tent with their chances of success, be-
lieving their stand for "Americanizing
the treaty will be supported by the
people.
This is authoritatively given as the
position of VIII Hays, Republican ma
tional committee chairman, although
he declined to make a formal state
ment on the split between President
Wilson and w. ]. Bryan over the Issue.
That is 'the Democrats own fun
eral," it was intimated.
Hays, on a western tour, meeting
party leaders, said he would leave the
peace treaty entirely in the hands OF
Republican senators.
1t was learned, however, that Hays
regards the treaty as a war matter
which should be settled on a non
partisan. American basis That was
said to be y the xpajorttys Republican
View and Is why they believe the issue
should not go into the campaign. Con-
trary to Washington dispa tches. it was
said that Bryan would find much sup
port in his own party although the
senate hackers might not work Open
ly for fear of injuring the party's
chances by split In the campaign
The demand of the Republican cir
reconcilables" that the treaty be put
to a referendum in the campaign is not
favored by majority of the Repubt
lican senators 1t was said. Compro-

upon before President Wilson's state

Wilson has referred as the heart of the
league of nations covenant, Bryan in
his second speech early this morning
said:
Il think the Importance of article 10
has been very much magnified."
Wilson's message failed to clear UP
the question of whether he will be q
third term candidate, but Democratic
leaders understand he will not be- al
though he may participate in the cam-
paign swinging his influence to the
candidate on the floor of the San
Francisco convention whom he deems
best fitted to carry on his work for
the treaty and campaigning actively
for the election of senate which will
ratify the document as he wants II
ratified--that Is, without reservations
that alter its meaning.
Bryan in his fight for a quick COM
promise apparently stands alone. With
the possible exception of former AM
bassador Gerard the speakers at both
banquets welcomed the idea of making
the treaty the 1920 issue. The reaction

London, April 12.-The latest French
note on the subject of the French occu-
patton move, received here this morning
saws that the French troops in Frankfort
and other occupied cities will be withdrawn
immediately upon the withdrawal of the
German troops from the Ruhr region.
1t promises. it is stated, that no further
independent action will be taken by
France.
The text O. the note which was handed
TO the Earl of Derby, British Ambassador
at Paris, yesterday evening for trans
mission here, has not yet been made
public in London. 1t is said however
that the communication Is couched In
conciliatory terms and should tend largely
to alleviate the gravity OF the situation.
The solidarity of the Entente IS en-
phasized in the French communication.
In British official circles the opinion was
expressed today that all the dangers OF
the situation had definitely been dispelled
Up to noon Sunday there had been iin-
disguised nervousness here over last
weeks cross-channel exchanges. The
second British note which was handed
10 the French Premier carly Sunday IN
sistcntly reiterated the British attitude
as expressed in the first objection TO the
French move in the Ruhr.
Premier Millerand Immediately sent
communication TO the Earl of Derby,
stating the tenor Of the French reply,
then being prepared The substance OF
this was forwarded TO London at once.
By Sunday night it seemed that the
crisis had passed the most serious stage
and that there was every prospect OF
clearing the embarrassing position OF the
two governments.
The formal French reply was received
AZ the foreign office here at one coloek
this morning. 1t was discussed at a
cabinet meeting in Downing street, at
which Andrew Bonar Law, the govern
ment leader and representative of Premier
LLOYD George during the latter's absence
from London, presided.
