NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Uncertain Attitude of Germany
Toward the Peace Treaty Up
to Friday, June 20.'
SCHE1DEMANN CABINET OUT
Foch Ready for Invasion From Three
8lde8 Turks Ask That Their Coun
try Be Left Intact Americans
Cross Mexican Border and
Punish the Vllllstas.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
"Wo had better sign the trenty and
have done with It. But whether we
sign It or not, tho worst Is yet to
:ome; nnd wo refuse to cheer up."
Thnt was apparently the attitude
3f tho greater part of the German poo
plo on Frdny, June 20, when this re
view wns written. However, nt that
time It was Impossible to forecast the
action that would be taken by tho Gcr
mnn government, nnd tho news col
amns will tell whether tho treaty wns
signed or rojectcd, by Monday, June
2.1, nt 0:40 p. in., Paris time, when tho.
tlmo limit given tho Gcrmnns expired.
Friday morning came the news thut
tho Schcldemnnn cabinet hnd fallen
and thnt Gustav Noske, minister of de
fense, wns to become head of the new
government. This wns taken to menn
that tho treaty would be signed, as
Scheldemnnn hnd been tho chief op
ponent of such a course. It was be
lieved that th6 rule of Noske would
amount to n dlstatorshlp. Another
story wns that BcrnstorfC would suc
ceed Brockdorff-Rnntznu as head of
tho commission.
Disappointed, dismnyed nnd thor
oughly angered by tho flnnl refusal of
tho allies to nmeliornto to any marked
pxtent tho terms Imposed on them, the
Germans raged lmpotcntly ngnlnst
their fnte. Count von Brockdorff
Itantznu nnd his collengues on the
pence commission united In advising
the cabinet to refuso to sign the treaty,
tho cabinet to refuse to sign tho treaty.
In the national assembly at Wei
mar, where the treaty wos to bo con
sidered, the majority socialists, It was
believed, would vote for signing, nnd
It was believed tho Catholic center
and Independent soclnllst parties olso
would finally ngree to accept the terms.
Throughout the former empire
sentiment wns diverse. The south
ern states, which would suffer most
from Invasion, were in favor of yield
Ing, while the northern provinces, es
peclnlly East Prussia, were strongly
opposed to such n course. Naturally,
the old pan-German element wns lilt
lorly against the trenty, but that ele
ment no longer rules In Germany.
Meanwhile, the nllled nations, tuk
Ing no chances, made every prepnra
lion for Immediate action In case of
rejection of the treaty. They had Git
many encircled by n ring of guns nnd
bayonets nnd were ready to invnilo
from three sides, while on the north
the guns of their fleets would enforce
a ronewed blockade by sen. Before
the week ended the British grand licet
was on u war footing. The Immense
dirigible R-31, which wns about to
start across the Atlantic, wns made
ready to sail for the Baltic, and her
companion, H-33, set out on a cruise
that wns to lncludo tho Kiel canal.
Lnnd oporatlons, carefully planned
by Marshal Foch nnd his collengues
called for swift advance by the Bel
glan nnd British "forces through Essen
and the Ruhr district toMho fortress
of Mlndcn; by the Amerlcnns up tho
valley of tho Mnln to tho Bohemian
border, cutting Germany In two; by
the French totthe fortress of Ulm and
then to Nordllngen. outflanking th
strong Bhoen mountnln defenses. At
the same time, according to the plan
the Czccho-Slovnks would attack from
tho south nnd the Poles from the east
nnd It Is believed the great Industrial
district of Silesia would thus be occu
pled.
The nllled command estimated the
available Gorman forces nt not more
thnn half a million, and the lnrger part
of those arc concentrated In the east
where preparations had been made for
warfare with the Poles. Also, the
Germans aro notoriously weak In tho
mntter of railway and motor truck
transport and have few alrplnnes left.
It did not seem that they could pos
sibly make any powerful nnd pro
longed resistance to an Invasion, but
Murshal Foch planned his operations
to meet the maximum strength the
enemy might summon.
Tho resignation of Premier Orlando
of Italy and his cabinet, It was feared,
might have an embarrassing effect on
the pence negotiations, ns Orlando wns
a member of the council of four. Or
lando had addressed the chamber of
deputies In defense of the peace
treaty and called for a vote of confi
dence, which wns refused through the
efforts of the socialists. The king re
served decision ns to acceptance of
the resignation.
Tho German peace envoys hnd au
unpleasant time Inst week. On their
departure from Versailles' with the
flnnl draft of the treaty they were as
sailed by a mob and several of them
were Injured by thrown stones nn un
fortunate occurrence for which the
French authorities made ample
apology. No sooner hnd the envoys
reached Weimar than some -sixty Spnr
tnenn prisoners, released from the jail
there, nttneked tho castle where the
members of tho government live. It
wns tnelr intention, apparently, to
seize Ebert, Scheldeniunn nnd Noske,
but they made so much' noise that tho
surprise nssault failed and tho troops
drove off tho Spnrtncnns. The Ger
mans considered this occurrence more
Important than it appeared to be on
tho surface.
The Turkish pence mission wns re
celved informally by tho council of
ten nt the Qua! d'Orsny and Its mem
hers set forth tho Turkish situation
They nsserted Turkey wns forced into
tho wnr by the Young Turks, tho for
mer German emperor nnd Russia's de
sire to grab Constantinople nnd that
the Turkish people were not responsl
bio for it. Tho grand vizier pleaded
for the preservation of Turkey Intact
and the withdrawal of Greek troops
from Smyrna, saying thnt course nlono
could Insure peace among HOO.OOO.OOO
Mohnmmednns throughout the world
The council gave no Intimation of Its
Intentions, but It hns been generally ad
mitted that the empire of the sultiin Is
to be dismembered.
Chancellor Renner submitted to the
allied delegates ids detailed objections
to tho tonus imposed on Austria, pro
testing especially ngnlnst the alleged
"Injustice which menaces 4,500,000
Gcrmnn Austiiuns," nnd against the
setting up of a number of new states
In- Europe which he says .will create
nnother hotbed of war such ns tho Bal
kans hnve been.
There wns some Improvement In the
bolshevlkl situation nnd consequently
less apprehension on the part of the
peace conference. , A nntlonnl con
gress of Hungarian Soviets, over which
Bela Kun presided, appealed to the
French proletariat to aid Hungary und
Russia in their "revolution for lib
erty." The progress of the Hungarian
communist troops against the Czechs
nnd Roumanians was checked, and tho
reports from Russln contnlncd no
nlurmlng nows. The Wldte Guards
that are moving on Petrogrnd succeed
ed in destroying nn important fort
ncross the bny from Kronstadt, and
ngutn It was reported thnt the bolshe
vik! were preparing to evacuate Petro
grnd. ,
Senator Knox's resolution designed
to separate the penco treuty from the
League, of Nations covenant was the
subject of hot debnto ill the senate, Mr,
Knox himself lending tho way In u
speech thnt was forceful. and Impres
slve, whatever ono may think of the
correctness of his views. He attacked
the covenant ns "destructive of human
progress and liberty," citing ospeclall
"tho pernicious provisions embodied In
article 10 which nre designed to fix
through nil time and merit Is mude of
this purpose of the provision the
boundaries set up by the treaty of
peace."
Senator McCuniber of North Dakota
Republican, nbly led the defenders of
the league and bitterly criticized his
pnrty colleagues for conducting what
he characterized as a campaign of mis
reprosecution and distortion. He ad
mitted the covenant Is not perfect, but
Igorously denied that It discriminates
against us or imposes on us any obll-
gntlon or burden tlmt Is not equally
borne by every othef nation.
It was predicted In Washington that
the Knox resolution would bo defeated
but. that It would receive enough votes
to show that the treaty and covenant
together could not be ratified by the
senate. President Wilson's announced
plnn of making a spenklng tour In sup
port of the league Is not approved by
muny of the Democratic leaders, who
say that ho will thus give tho Repub
licans an opportunity to mnko the
eague an Issue before the people. But
Mr. Wilson, ns well as a great many
other very well posted persons, be
lieves firmly that a vast majority of
the American people want the lenguo
covenant ratified so ho does not fear
nn appeal to them on thut issue.
Onco ngnln American troops have
been sent across tho Mexican border
because of the nctlon of the Vllllstns,
and this time tho latter were quickly
attacked nnd ns quickly put to flight.
The rebels hnd Invested Juarez and,
us on former occasions, some of theli
bullets landed in El Paso, Tex. Sev
eral Americans were killed and wound'
ed nnd our soldiers got Into notion ln
stnutly. After the artillery hnd rained
shrapnel on the Villa forces tho lnfnm
try rushed ncross the International
brIUge nnd drove them from their,
trenches, nnd tho cavalry pursued
them for several miles. The Moxlcnn
authorities wore assured that this was
not to bo taken us an Invasion, und In
deed tho Americans returned to their
own side of the river within n few
hours. At first President Carranzn,
through his special envoy at Washing
ton, protested against the nctlon, but
next dny the Mexican government an
nounced thnt It considered the Incident
closed. Whether Pnncho Villa also
would so consider it wns another mat
tor. All along the border there wns
fear les.t he attempt reprlsnl and
Amerlcnn troops were hurriedly placed
at the points that were considered
threatened. .
Of course the senate took a whack
at this affair and tho opponents of the
administration severely criticized
for its general Mexican policy, which
Senator Fall asserted, was to support
the weak Carranzn government with
out protecting the lives and property
of Americans nnd other foreigners In
Mexico.
Tho week opened with the great
news of the successful nonstop lllght
ncross the Atlantic by Captain Alcock
nnd Lieutenant Brown In tho VIckcrs
VImy bombing plane. It wns a won
dcrful achievement nnd nil the world
joined In praise of the courage and
skill of the hold aviators. Most of the
way from Newfoundland to Irelnnd
they Hew through fog nnd drizzle, ye:
they made tho 1,000 "land miles In the
remnrknble time of 10 hours nnd 12
minutes.
, Despite the big demonstration by tho
American Federation of Labor, con
gress will not sanction n modification
of the wnrtimo prohibition lnw to per
mlt the manufacture and side of heer
nnd light wines from July 1 until nn
tlonal prohibition goes Into effect next
January. This was made certain when
the sennto by n vote of 55 to 11 killed
n rider to this effect which Senator
Phclnn wnntcd to nttnch to the agrl
cultural appropriation bill. Action by
President Wilson Is the only remaining
hope of the wets nnd It Is slender.
Tho A. F. of L. busied Itself with
several big matters last week. For In
stance, It butted Into the Irish muddl
with a resolution favoring the "Freo
Irish," nnd It also swatted the radical
elements within Itself by refusing to
adopt n resolution for the lnltlutlv
and referendum within the ranks of
organized labor and defeating another
resolution for tho recognition of soviet
Russia. Also It rejected tho proposed
general strike on July 4 in bchnlf of
Tom Mooney. Then Postmnster Gen
ernl Burleson cuine up for discussion
nnd ns the poor mnn had nn friend 1
tho convention a resolution wns adopt
ed asking the president to remove him
because of his "lnbor policy."
