j
Xty the AmocMWJ Pits
Paris. Xov. 20. Willi- the failure of
the American RMiato to ratify the Orr-
nan treat) has anpirently n!armrd the
French. It swrnlncly is not imitating
thfl flverae-a Frpnchnifln an trmfh hh thr
fear that the United States may not I
ratify the joint nitreem-" with Kne-
land for the ilefenic of rrnnre, which
is uppermost in tho mlnils of all French
jeople.
The adjournment of the hennte tor
the session without ratification of the
peace treaty created much Mirrrie,
however, in Peace Conference cinlcs,1
as dispatches from Wuvhingtnn hml
nuirceated that some compromise was
probable. The members of the council
after adjournment Ithhclild comment .
In French official circles, although
there was disappointment, no Mirprise
Vns expressed, and it een scemeil that
tho event had been exprctcd Appar i
ently the situation had been diwus-ed I
nd measure! tahen in adnnoc to meet I
the eventuality, as Foreign Minister
Ihchon Mrlio presided oer the Suiirrmei
Council today, urged that the A er i
eUIe treatv be put Iuto force not latrr come
man December i
His view seems to have prevailed,
the council expressing the opinion that
It would be desirable to put the treaty
Into effect ou December 1 In this con i
section the French foreign office wns
aware of the probability that the Ainer
lean Senate vould iiot meet again be
fore the first week In Dccembci
No formal meeting has ct been held
lietween the Oerman dtlegales, who ar
rived yesterday morning, and the rep
resentatives of the allied powers con
cerning the proposed protocol of the
German peire treaty. It now seems
unllkeb that the protocol will be Mgned
before the end of N'o ember, as the !
Germans have shown a disposition to
resist thn provision requiring them to i
replace the warships sunk when their1
fleet was scuttled at Scupa Flow, and j
they have manifested a deslie to argue
the question. The failure of the nl- '
lied and arsoclnted powers to reach an '
jrecment on the trcitv is reported here
to have encouraged the Germnns in
their position. .
As tho protocol mubt be arranged be
fore the formal announcement of rutl
flcatiou of the treaty bj the three pow- I
era required to make it effecthe the '
date of putting the" treaty into effect
seems uncertain.

TAX COLLECTOR A SUICIDE
CenUnoed Ynm Parr) One
Is hoped to work out a plan by which
this country can keep In close touch In
order to protect American Interests.
Tho administration officials were not
prepared today to predict Just what
form this unofficial campaign would
take nor to outline Just what could be
accomplished by such a connection
The State Department is emphatic
in its stand that no American consuls
can be sent Into (icrinini) until peace
has been definitely established between
the United Slatis und that country, and
they declari onlv mi imperfect trade
relation can be built up without
the consular officers who are In Charge
of the legal end of International trade.
A contrary view is held, however,
by some of the senators who oppose
ratification of the treat INotable in
that connection ft. the stand taken
Senator Knox Henublican. IVnnsyl
vania, a former secretary of state, who
holds that hj the language of the treaty
full commercial and diplomatic Inter
course can be resumed with Germany bv
ull of her late enemies ns soon as the
preces verbnle is exchanged.
Figures on Air idea's trade with tier
many In October lrive not been fully
compiled, but during September, the
I'nijcd States Imported nearly $2.fKHl,.
fiOO unrih of coods from that country
and sent It goods vnlued at about Si),-lrr
0(10.000 For the nine rnoutns ending
with September, the import trade
totaled nearly $1,000,000 and exports
about SU.OOO.OOO This compared with
pre war exports of ubout $275,000,000
for a nine-month period.
Wan) Knotty Problems
The Senate's failure to net left on
the hands of the administration a big
collection of knottv problems, chief
inning which is the question of property
rights in the Oerman ships and other
propertv of enemv aliens seized bv the
government In this countrj. The State
experts suj tn re is no
leiral sanction for retention of this
property unless the treat, which con
tains a provision legalising it, I
ratified
As n icirollary to tbk problem stands
the question of what is to become of the

There Is every evidence, however,

authority of Cmiens to take such n

v "' opinion of some olllclals a situation will

can untangle,
As presented bv Senator Lodge, the
peace resolution Is n "concurrent"
measure of the nature which under
Senate practice for man cor docs
not require the signature of the Pres
ident lint the administration senators
arc prepared to urge against its vnlldit)
a provision of the constitution that
an (oneurrciit resolution meetlngg with
the disapproval of the rhlt f executive
could be vetoed or disregarded by him
anc never could bafepssaeu uy a iwq
thirds Vote. The reply oil the He
fiubllcans Is that tho constitutional 11m
tatlon applies to legislation only, and
that the sole right of Congress to de
clare war carries with It the right to
dcclaro peace.
Wets 'Give tp Hope
' Foremost ot all the domestic problems
watting on some sort of a peace declara
tion is prohibitiou. Hopes have about
disappeared for an end of the war-time
net by Senate ratification of the trenty
In time to permit a wet season beforo

effective January It! With a constltu
tloniM controversy developing about
declaration of peace by Resolution, that
avenue begins to look nlmost equally In

innsidrrution involved in the continua
tion of it technical state of war. Until
pence is declared formnll the war time
foot! and fuel control powers of Ihc
executlvo lire in full force, and the
espionage act operates unimpaired
It was pointed out that the effect of
the Senate's failure uit would be of
a ueftutivu churacter only with regard'
to the American troops in oempird por
tlons of Germany. War Department
officials said it would mean no change
in tho- present disposition, which had
been bnsed entirely ou the terms of the
armistice und which did nut, dtpend iu
nny rrspect on the terms of the treaty.
