SHIP Of STATE
ENTERSCOURT
Gil A n n FL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.--tR
The American ship of state, after q
long delay, is launched in the chan
mel that leads to a seat in the World
Court at Geneva.
The Senate gave its advice and
consent" to membership last night,
adopting the adherence resolution and
its accompanying reservations by a
vote of 70 to II or II more than the
necessary two-thirds majority. But
many details and formalities remain
for action before the United States &C.
tually becomes a. member of the
tribunal.
And meanwhile, Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, leader of the Senate
opposition to the court, declares the
fight is not ended and that the people
will be asked to decide it.
MUST NOTIFY COOLIDGE.
The next formal step is the natifica-
ton of President Coolidge by the Sen
ate that it approves membership. The
President then, through the state de-
partment, will communicate the reser-
vations and declarations of policy &c
the AZ member states of the League of
Nations and inquire il they approve
of American membership as qualified
by the reservations.
-, bn 2.
firmative, the signature of the United
States will be affixed by diplomatic
representatives TO the original pro-
tocol and statute now deposited in
Geneva. The resolution Of ratifica-
tion also will be filed at Geneva and
American membership in the court
will have become fact.
ADOPT RESOLUTION.
Remaining in dramatic session dong
past the usual hour of adjournment,
the Senate swept aside group Of pro-
posed multiplying reservations TO the
adherence resolution before finally
adopting the resolution itself.
Leaving the chamber where he had
conducted warm fight against the
court, Senator Borah told radio
audience last night that "we de not
regard this contest closed" but in
stead "we will carry it back to the
people and make it an issue in every
precinct in the United States"
CONDITION OF ENTRY.
Senator Lenroot, Republican OF
Wisconsin. predicted that when the
clouds of misrepresentation have
rolled away, most of those now OPP
posed to the court will favor it,"
The world court was created under
article II of the covenant Of the
League of Nations and under plans
drawn in 1920 by a commission Of
jurists of which Elihu Root was a
member. Forty-eight nations have
entered the court, which passes on
international disputes and whose opin-
ions are binding only when the ma
tions involved consent.
The reservations qualifying Ameri-
can membership stipulate mainly that
this country is to acquire no legal
relationship to the League; that 1t
may at any time withdraw from the
court, and that the tribunal shall not
touch upon any subject involving the
United States without consent.

FORMER KAISER
EXPECTS To
RETURN
By K. H. Won WIEGAND
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.

LONDON, Jan. os. - The former
kaiser firmly believes that he will
ultimately return to Germany as
private citizen and even clings to the
hope that he may be asked" to take
the throne again, according to per-
sons recently in contact with Wilhelm
at Doom.
These visitors report to their init
mate monarchistic friends that Will
helm still believes God is with him,
that Germany is going from bad TO
worse. and that the German people
will soon tire Of the republic.
REPORTS ENCOURAGING.
Reports which the old dic-hard mon
archists bring him of economic de-
preston, unemployment and political
dissensions are said to encourage these
thoughts.
A flood Of letters and kilograms,
said to have been received at Doom
on the occasion of the former kaiser's
birthday, undoubtedly tend to con-
firm his hopes and beliefs. The wave
of dissatisfaction with parliamentary
systems, which is sweeping Europe,
with a growing tendency toward die
tatorships, is said to strengthen the
ex-kaiser's belief that the era of
democratic parliamentary systems is
nearing an end.
TO START CAMPAIGN.
A few old adherents Of Wilhelm in
Germany are actually considering an
attempt to start campaign for the
return of the former ruler of Ger
many as private citizen as soon rs
the question of the return Of the royal
property holdings is settled.
The idea of a popular referendum on
this question has been given up, large
ly through fear that an attempt would
be made to turn it into popular vote
on the question of monarchism against
the republic.
