.DECLARATIONOF
PEACEDEFERRED
Concern Is Felt as to What
President Wilson's Next
Move on Treaty Will Be

Washington, Mar. 20.-white House
officials decline to comment tonight
on what might be President Wilson's
next move on the treaty since its re-
turn by the Senate today with a note
saying ratification had been refused.
General feeling was that the president
would let it lie on his desk while the
bitter controversy it raised is fought
out in the campaign.
No sooner had the treaty left the
Senate than some senator's who had
worked for ratification began a move
ment to recall it and try once more
for a compromise. Mild reservation
Republicans and compromise Demo-
Gratis discussed the possibilities of such
move but the leaders agreed the pro-
posal for another reconsideration would
never take serious form. The unset
tied state of opinion however caused
Senate Republicans to decide to post
pone until the latter part of next week
a move for a declaration of peace.
There was no intimation as to what
President Wilson would do with the
treaty. White House officials said
the usual procedure would be TO send
it to the state department for .'buriaT
in the archives there.
The document, which was delivered
to the Senate by the president in per-
son July 10 last, was taken to the
White House by George A. Sanderson
secretary of the Senate. He was ac-
companied by two Senate clerks and
the party was received by Rudolph
Forster, executive clerk of the White
House. Mr. Forster did not accept the
treaty, however, the visitors being re-
ferred to Secretary Tumulty.
Mr.. Tumulty was with the president
at the time and when he returned
to the executive offices to receive the
treaty he said there would be no state
ment from the presiednt.
The Senate was not in session today,
but when the House met, Representa-
tive Tinkham, Republican, Masssachu-
setts. offered a joint resolution declar-
ing a state of peace between the Unit
ed States and Germany.
Under the resolution Germany would
recognize all rights which the United
States might have had under the Yer
sailles treaty. Should Germany fail to
agree to this, the president would be
authorized to prohibit resumption of
trade relations or the extension of
loans or credits.

LOCAL GIRLS LEFT
 BY THE ROADSIDE
MarOOned in Meriden by Chance
 Male ACquaintanCeS

Mcridcn, July 1.-Two young men drove two young girls to supper at a n"iEhb"riug hotel last night in their . automobile. Tho meal took some time and it was after midnight when they started back to their homes in New Britain.
 When about three miles from the Inn ana about five miles from Mcri- den. ,hc nearest town. tho fellows put the tw" girls out of tho ear and drove on home without them.
 The girls did the natural thing. They walked back to the inn. reused tho occupants, and between tears and sobs. asked to he taken to Meridcn. where they could get n train. The toIored handy man brought the girls here at about . o'clock this morning.
 Upon learning that they could not get Lrain for New Britain they hired public service car to take them home.
 They are by this time considerably wiser than they were early last cvcn- ing. They told the driver of tho hotels automobile that they knew the young men and would report the hap pcning to the New Britain authorities
 Perhaps the girls knew the men and perhaps they didn't. IL doesn't seem at all likely that the men would take the course they did with two girls whom they knew well from their own town. Whatever the crcum- stances, tho case stands out as strong warning to girls who cannot bc too careful about the companions whose invitation they accept. There k no question tlat the two girls in last nights case will never again want to ride in the neighborhood where they were left alone.
