That the department realized the in
Adeauacy and danger of the nrrangc

There was much apprehension' in tho
Navy Department in the summer of

cruiser raid in the Atlantic against ships
carrying American troops, tho admiral
said. Many "impracticable" plans were
suggested by the department to guard

send a squadron of fast battle cruisers

And Senator Hitchcock, after faithfully
serving the President, is put in the
position of having to show a curt, ill
tempered peremptory noto to his col
leagues. Meant What Ho Said of France
The criticism of France was of the
samo sort. Franco, like Tensing and
Simmons and his Democratic colleagues,
had been in disagreement with the
President on the treaty. And the Presi
dent meant what he said. Those who
are close to him say that had France
pressed for an explanation of his charge
of militarism, which the French foreign
nffiro denies that it did, tho President
instead of making snmo polite modifica
tion would have repeated nnd strength
ened what he said, naming the names
of those who opposed nnd to an extent
thwarted him at Paris. And there is
every indication that unless he would
have been dissuaded he would have fol
lowed this cause.
The President is angry over the
treaty, angry nt ltd defeat, incensed at
every one who directly or indirectly con
tributed to Its defeat.
Defeated tho treaty is, L has been
plain since the President revealed his
mind at the Jackson Day dinner, ns
made up to take the issue into tho cam
paign rather than yield that the chances
of the treaty wero slight. Although his
party opposed his course, it was evident
that enough Democratic senators would
dare defy him publicly to endure the
necessary two-thirds vote.
But this curt note to Mr. Hitchcock
disposes of what llttlo prospect was left
for tho treaty and the covenant. The
Democrats recognize that "this is not
acceptable, W. W." as final.
President's Iro Makes Prediction Vain
The President's anger ovkr his failure
to get the treaty through tho Senate
unchanged makes every prediction with
regard to the treaty idle and useless.
The President will do what an angry
man will do. That is all one can say.
Will be permit the passage of a resolu
tion declaring the .war ended? Will ho
negotiate a separate peace with Ger
many? Has he any program to end
the chaos of this country's relations with
Germany, with whom we are neither at

NEWEST ARTICLE X
SUBSTITUTE BEATEN
Washington, March 15. (By A. P.)
Paving the wny for a final vote ou
the reservation to Article X, the Senate
today rejected, fil) to 17, Senator
Frcllnghuyscn's substitute proposing
summnry disavowal of all obligations.
Knowledge of the President's objec
tion to the Republican substitute
reservation to Article X caused no sur
prise in tho Senate since nil elements
nave understood that In opposing the
substitute Senator Hitchcock was
working with tho President's con
fidence. It added an interesting feature to
the treaty situation, however, when
coupled with the arrival here today of
William Jennings Bryan, advocating a
compromise that would secure the
treaty's ratification. Br. Bryan was
expected to see many Democratic
Senators within the next few days,
bringing again into prominence his
disagreement with the President over
the question of reservations.
Under n unanimous consent agree
ment reached Saturday Article X reser
vation must be put Into final form and
adopted before adjournment tonight. Do-
bate was limited by the same agreement
to fifteen minutes on the reservation and
five minutes on any amendment offered
to it.
Among tho leaders, however, tho gen
eral Dredictlon was that tho Loden sub
stitute would be adopted as It stands
and that with it the treaty would tail
of ratification.

"There is but 6ne thing to do it

their vacant places and go on with
the work.
"The majority of our men are
loyal and can be depended upon to do
their duty."
Chief Davis said :
"I have been in touch with several
of the city plants this morning. From
all I receive assurance's of loyalty on
tho part of many of the city em
ployes." homes, threatening an epidemic and in
iu event oi a qonuanraciun leaving u

Davis on Job Karly
Chief Davis was no at 0 o'clock this
morning, Issuing orders and receiving
reports trom the various plants o( tne
city water system.
Georgo S. Llgbtfoot, who organized
a percentage of the water bureau work
era two years ago, insisted this morn
ing that a "walkout" and not a strike
is planned.
"I hopo the city will bo able to get
men to operate the water works," bo
said. "The present employes cannot
work any longer for the money they are
getting. They will simply walk out
and get other jobs.
"Many of tho workers owe big bills
to their storekeepers. The situation
has now reached the point where they
can obtain no more credit and they must
have more money."
According to Llghtfoot there are 100
engineers nnd slightly less than 800 fire
men employed In the water bureau. The
balance of the 1000 employes, ho said,
consists of filter attendants, oilers,
water carriers, bollrrmikers and men
of other trades.
Tho ultimatum, threatening the strike,
wasjssued to the city', following a meet
ing of locals Nos. 447 and 340. Inter
national Brother of Firemen and Oilers,
yesterday afternoon in Mechanics' Hall.
Chief Davis says be is not certain
just what Llgbtfoot wants to got for
the men, but It is believed somo of them
arc standing on the demands they pre
sented last year to the retiring Councils
under the old administration.
Telegraphs Ultimatum
The "Ultimatum, signed by Llghtfoot,
was telegraphed to tho Mayor, John C.
Winston, director of the Department of
Public Works, and Chief Davis last
night.
Davis Reports Conversation
The text of the memorandum given
by Chief Davis to the Mayor follows:

which comes to us from a well- ,
known collector and connol-!
seur, who purchased it in the
year 1918, from a Persian noble
in Teheran. '
It is an old Kirman of tho fin- (
est stitch and for softness and
delicacy of texture, harmony
and mellowness of coloring and "
accuracy of detail may well be f
called a gem of the loom.
Fine Kirmans usually have
400 knots per square inch.
This" one is supposed to contain',
600, hence its wonderful sub- .
stance.
The motif purports to .sym-
bolize tho entire universe, tho
various races of mankind, the
animal, vegetable and bird life
of the earth and the denizens of '
the sea. Tho field is in the
natural undyed shade of the
wool, forming a ground on
which the various designs and
figures are worked out with re
markable fidelity in a variety
of shades rose, light and dark
blue, green, red, brown and '
other tones according to the re
quirements of the thing repre

The outstanding featuro o,
the design is the tree of life,
