Now we know it will take months to

signed the Versailles pact and we can
simply ratify it with reservations that

Should Germany therefore, decline to
make an agreement pledging America
all the rights which the United States
originally obtained at Paris, then the
Versailles pact must be resubmitted
with reservations.
The Germans are confronted with an
alternative. They do not imagine that
an irreconcilable group in the United

treaty, but on the other hand. even the

Nobody Sure of Americas Course.
But that isn't all. For weeks the
White House and state department
have been reticent about the negotia-
tions and, significantly enough, denials
have been made of various stories as
to whether the Versailles treaty would
be resubmitted. Members of the ire
coneilable group in the senate have
stated positively their conviction that
the Versailles treaty would not be re-
submitted to the senate. But the truth
of the matter, it now appears, is that
nobody in the senate or even the eXecu-

sure what the course of the American
government will have to be. The Ger

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-The STRAIT
cgy behind the United States govern
mcnt's negotiations with Germany over
the making of new peace treaty is
Just coming 10 light. 1t is one of the
most interesting inside stories which
Official Washington has developed since
the war
The truth is President Harding and
Secretary Hughes have been 10th to am
nounce to the world that the plan
whereby congress was to make peace by
resolution is after all ineffective. The
executive branch of the government is
finding out that it alone carries the
burden of making peace with Germany
and that the Germans are not jumping
through the hoop at the mere nod of
Washington. but are actually asking
for voice in making the treaty--a pro
cedure i'll contrast to the moments
Versailles when the allies framed a
treaty and called the German delegates
into the room and commanded them to
sign on the dotted line
When congress passed the Joint reso-
luton declaring peace, it was believed
that peace had been accomplished and
that formal proclamation of peace
would follow in the natural course Of
events. The department of state OPP
posed such a course, putting up the ar
gument that if America announced by
proclamation that she is at peace with
Germany. the United States would be
playing its last card, so to speak, and
would have no leverage upon Germany

MONTPELIER, Aug. 2z.-Governor
James Hartncss has issued the follow
ing statement regarding the claims of
disabled soldiers:
The recent passage of the Sweet bill
by congress has been the signal for ma
tional drive TO clean up all pending
claim for ex-service men against the
government. and to get in personal touch
with all veterans who have not filed
claims but who believe that they are en-
titled to some benefits for disabilities re

ally begins in Vermont Monday. Aug -
Every county in the state viii be visited
at least once by the cleanup squad which
is made np-of. the following: One exam
ming physician. one contact represents
tive of the new veterans bureau. one
representative of the vocational training
section, and one representative from the
American Legion and American Red
Cross.
In order for this Vermont campaign to
achieve the greatest possible success there
must be the most loyal cooperation on
the part of all citizens Of the state. The
cx- service men and women must be in
| formed that the campaign Is going on
and | urge the newspapers Of the state
to give their usual full cooperation to
the end that there shall not remain one
single veteran of the World war in the
state of Vermont without this informa.
ton 1t is expected that information
viii be disseminated through all
churches. clubs. chambers of commerce,
boards of trade, and all welfare organiz-
atiouS.
The Sweet bill aims to eliminate the
usual red tape. 1t also provides for more
liberal treatment and compensation. 1t
takes from certain classes of eX-service
men, including those suffering from tn
berculosis or a neuropsychiatric disease.
the task Of proving his disability as Il re-
suit Of service and places it on the S0v-
ernment to prove that the disability Of
such classes was not of service origin.
1t makes it possible for every eX-service
person to Feiustate their government in
surance unless they are permanently and
totally disabled.
Let us al cooperate in every way pos
Sible to the end that the World war vet
Grams of Vermont may be adequately
cared for.
