Thu Senate is uu iiulrpciidrnt rlcmoni in tlie tronty-nmkius power. ts re fusal to rntlfy the treaty rnnnot ex poc cither itself or thu country to a charge of bad faith. It is Hot fair to represent the United Stntrs lis holding up the treaty folclj friitn motives of party polities. One of the traditions of America i.s ab stinence from Uuropeau entangle ments. The league of Nations Is not merely n pluuge into the unknown, but a plunge into MimethiuK which Ameri ca's traditions lime hitherto di.s npproed. Ileuco the desire for ret. ervation Without the United States the league may become little better than a league of allies for self-dcfetifo. "Without the United States, the league will lach phsienl and moral force and will be toru by European inter racial jealousies. With America in the league war may letter to the London Times on America's rth the following salient points: lie prevented and armaments dis couraged. Without the league the catastrophe of war will nrUe and the United States again will be compelled to intervene. It would be a mistake to suppose that because Americans wish to limit their obligations they propose to play a small1 part in the league. If America enters willingly witli lim ited obligations American action in the'league may be more fruitful than if America entered as a reluctant partner. It is in this hope, spirit and expecta tion that the Allies should consider Amcricau rescrxntlou. The reservation of America does not in any way challenge he right of the self-goerniug domiuions of the llritish Umpire to exercise their otcs, nor docs it say the United States will necessarily reject n deci sion in which those votes have been cast.

Some of the newspapers printed the document jc-tcrday. accompanying it with u semiofficial declaration that its j author, an insane former officer, was arrested Saturday and is now in a san itarium. This declaration adilri that "publi cation of the order might likely be construed by the Entente as a breach of the peace treaty aud eidencc of disloya!t" and sajs it. therefore, K gien publicity with the purpose of indicating its origin.

War Activities of Von Lucius May Cost Him Post at Rome lterlin, l'eb. 2. The German Gov ernment Will, in all probability, cancel the appointment of Baron on Lucius, temporary diplomatic German repre sentative in Home, as a result of at tacks upon him by French and other continental newspapers. They charge that be carried on espionage and propa ganda in connection with a mis-ion to Sweden u'uring the war. Baron von Lucius is aho under suspicion of having been in active touch with the Uussian Bolshevists. It is learned from a reliable source that the liuiriual has virtually uotinea Wilhclmstrnsse that the barou is per sona non grata. The Tagcblatt blames the Foreign Office for "awkward pro cedure" in selecting and dispatching en vois and charges before gocrnincnts affected have been consulted. Baron von Lucius a,nd Dr. von Koseu, whom Spain rejected, are the only trained diplomatists on Germany's new list of envojs.

So far uMlic cam paign is 'coucerued, his position is strong. The otcrs can be told that the Lodge reservations were regarded as proper even by the foreign powers concerned. Up to the present the more isolated the President has become the more ob stinate ho has become. Bonn's speech made him angry and provoked his sug gestion that the treaty issue be taken into the campaign. No one euturc3 to say what the Grey letter will lead to. LONG SENATE' DEBATE ON TREATY FORESEEN Washington. Feb. 2. (By A. P.I Countering the Democratic move to take up the peace treaty again iu the Senate, llcpubliean lenders today gac notice that they would formally ask to bring the treaty up for debate uext Mouda, one day earlier than the Dem ocrats had decided on. The declop tnent was regarded as practically as suring another loug period of discus sion. In gmug the notice iu the Senate, Senator Lodge said he would first ask unanimous consent to proceed to "con sideration of the treaty with reserva tions." "I trust." he udded, "that unanimous consent certainly will be given. In case it is not, 1 shall make the necessary motion to suspend the rules." In iew of the notice given preiously b. Democratic leaders that they would uioc to take the treaty up Tuesday of next week, it was predicted that little opposition would declop from un quarter. Democratic and llcpubliean leaders arc understood to be preparing reser vations to offer as soon as the treat again is before the Senate. In botne quarters it was predicted that many of the points at issue soon would be elimi nated by an agreement ou the basis of the work done by the informal bi partisan compromise committee. If Senator Lodge finds it necessary to move for suspension of the rules the motion will require u two-thirds majority, but the general predic tion was that more than that number would support it. Not only those who faor ratification in sonic form, but some of the treaty's irreconcilable foes arc ready to vote to reopen the debate. Should Senator Lodge's plans fail, however, the motion of the Democratic leaders the following day will be in such form that only a majority would be necessary to pass it, the party leaders say. The Democrats conteud that no suspension of the rules would be neces sary to take up the treaty and that po sition is expected to be upheld by Vice President Marshall. Ou appeal from his decision a majority only would be needed to sustain him. t rTrrir-r ic n r nv nnn 4 " "" T7 1 T! T T Li T7t F"T TrV lL.L--ri U. O. V IKjW by such an authority, newspapers hero seem willing to give the United States the benefit of the argument that she is unwilling to malic a radical departure from her former policy without duo consideration. The letter is viewed ns a powerful appeal to America to enter the league, and the Sundny Observer pleads for the establishment of the league quickly, een if it is only n con sultatory body without the United States. "Let us meet the United States so liberally and boldly as to leme her not an excuse for stauding out," the news paper says. Complaints over reservations pro posed by the United States Senate should be stopped, the newspaper says, and it invites tho United Stntes to "send over a shipload of them," adding: "The. more America's reservations arc indulged the less slio is inclined to Insist upon them." Nations, big. aud little, are ibowing their worst sides to each other, the paper goes on, nnd it adds that the "heart nnd soul" of Viscount Grey's plea is patience. After saying "there is a deplorable tendency to cast the major responsi bility for Europe's troubles on Ameri can shoulders," tho Times says the viscount's statement arrived at a most opportune moment, and "those who di gest it will find misunderstanding re moved aud comprehension established."
