DEMOCRATIC REVOLT
1 IMMINENT ON ROLL CALL
Four-to-Six Vote Margin
Claimed by 'Administration
Wilson Stand Emphatic
' Against Real Reservations.
By ARTHUR SEARS. HENNING
, Chicago Trihune-Omaha D InarS Wire.
Washington," March 14. President
Wilson has delivered anqther blow
to ratification of the (German peace
treaty with jreservations to the league
of nations covenant protective of the
"special national interests" bf the
United States. '
It transpired today that within the
.last 48 hours there has been a new
exchange of Correspondence between
Senator Hitchcock, the democratic
leader ot the senate, and the White
House, in which the president flatly
rejected the latest compromise on
article 10 and the revised version of
all other reservations put forward to
catch democratic votes.
Rejects Compromise Plan.
Mr. Wilson Returned the modifi
cations adopted and others' suggest
ed in a letteTTn which he asserted
that he found the revised reserva
tions fully as nullifying of the cove-
nant as the original Lodge reserva-J
tions.
This was the president's reception
of the efforts of Senator Simmons,
democrat, to work out a compromise
- Svhich "Vvduld command a" two-thirds"'
vote of the senate on the ratification
roll. call. Senator Simmons calcu
lated that he was only two votes
short of- the requisite number when
the president's latest pronuncia
mento leached Senator Hitchcock
and upset the compromise program.
Several democrats who had prom
ised Simmons support immediately
dodged back into the administration
lines and the North Carolina senator
abandoned his project
With the president stiffening his
opposition to reservations that really
reserve, the defeat of the treaty in
the senate this week is the prospect.
There is only one development that
ran assure ratification and that is
the desertion pf the White House
on the final roll call of about '30
democrats. .
Four Vote Lead.
. The spirit of revolt is strong on
the. democratic; side, particularly
among senators, "who are candidates
forire-election this year and dislike
the prospect of facing their con
stituents on the. president s issue
of the league without qualifications.
Senator Hitchcock is fully prepared
for he defection of as many as 25
democrats who wilf vote for the
treaty with reservations on the rati
fication roll call. He is confident that
he can hold 17 in line and with the
IS republican anl four democratic
irreconcilables, defeat ratification
with the reservations by four votes.
Some there are who predict from
long experience with such situations
that there will be a further break of
the democratic ranks at the last min
ute, sufficient to accomplish ratificay
tion. But Senator Eorah, republican
irreconcilable, who has been one of
these prophets, bas changed his mind
and now predicts the failure of the
treaty by from four to six votes.
The indications are that the sub
stitute reservation of article 10 will
be adopted tomorrow.On Tuesday
the senate is to consider some re
maining reservations, including that
on Egypt and the Knox financial
arovisiotv clearing the way for a
inal vote on Thursday or Friday.
Watch German Revolution. '
Senators are divided in view of the
possible effect or the German revo
lution on the treaty. Senator Hitch
cock thought it would" have no ef
fect. Senator Lenroot thought it
' could only affect a negotiation of a
new peace if this treaty fails.
"This revolution," said Senator
Shields, democrat, "indicates the
wars into which the United States
probably would be drawn' if it be
came a member of the league of na
tions as drafted. It shows the m-
advisability of the ratification of the
peace treaty and the league of na
tions covenant." A . . V
"It looks as " though the party
which now .has, assumed control is
the $am party with which President
Wilson refused to deal in negotiat
ing peace before the close of the
war, said Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, democrat. "If that is so how
can we consistently go- ahead ana
make, a treaty-with that party now?
I cannot of course speak for (he
president but it would seem to me
'.hat under these circumstances the
treaty might be withdrawn from the
senate. On- the other hand, if thrs
revolution . is merely a change of
power from one political party to
another, with the republican form
of government to continue, then the
treat could be made." v

but every allied foreign office in Eu

as follows;

self kfng of Arabia, with a dominion
over a vast area already claimed by
the British and French.

of the Turkish nationalists, is head

soviet forces, flanking the Caspian
sea on the west, and also officered
by Germans. Directly across the
Turkestan, on the east shores of
the Caspian, Kuropatkin commands
an equally strong red force.
Both of these forces constitute a
serious menace to the unprotected
British interests in Persia jmme

FRIENDS ASSERT
BRYAN HOPING
TO HEAD PARTY
Leaves Palm Beach for Speak
ing Tour of Principal
Eastern Cities.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Palm Beach, Fla., March 14. In
view of his announcement in Lin
coln, Neb., that under certain con
ditions he would consider another
nomination for the presidency, re
marks by William, J. Bryan to a
newspaper friend whom he met on
train last nigh, would indicate
that the old democratic leader has
started on a whirlwind campaign.
The belief is expressed by men
with wh'om he has conferred tthat it
is Mr. Bryan's. ambition to head the
ticket, or barring that, to control the
convention and name the candidate.
Mr. Bryan is on the Seaboard
Limited due in Washington at 6:20
tomorrow mornirfg. He will confer
there with party leaders and on his
60th birthday, Friday, go to New
York "where his first speech of the
campaign will be made at dinner,
probably at the Ladine club, though
if this he was not sure last night.
Starting on Tour. t
"Just say," said Mr. Bryan, "that
I am starting on a tour that will
include Washington, New ' York,
Boston, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska
and Los Angeles, and that my first
speech will be made at a dinner tend
ered me in New York Friday by my
democratic friends."
"Is this a political campaign you
are starting on?" he was asked.
"I am going to talk politics," said
Mr. Bryan. "I am' interested in tnc
peace treaty. I expect to see it rati
fied in V very few days. I am in
terested in prohibition, which New
Jersey and Rhode Island are trying
to upset.
"There is one thing which the
leaders in this movement for (beer
and light wines do not seem to torn
prehendt and that is4hat the people
run the government and that they
are the .ones who have decided the
constitutionality of the prohibition
amendment.
"The point raised tliat the con
stitution reserves as a state's right
all questions not especially delegated
to the federal government aId that
prohibition not having been reserved,
it is still a-matter of state, rights, is
absurd. v . m
"The constitution is not greater thau
the will of the, people.- In passirg
the amendment they expressed Their
will on' this subject in . accordance
with the law and that is all there is
to it. Whatever the people want
they have a right to have, unless we
concede the right of a minority to
govern a majority. .
"Constitutions do. not "restrict
rights. They guarantee them and,
they can be changed by the people
tit will. Constitutions simply- desig
nate thfe way in which the people
may "carry , out their will. If the peo
ple could not amend a constitution
the dead would govern the living,
which is even more absurd than the
claims of a monarchy or of an aris
tocracy." Dog Mascot of Marines
Has "Taste" for Music
Quantico, Va.. March 14. Only
some dogs will howl responsively
to a musical instrument.
Every time "Socks," mascot of the
U. S. marines stationed "heref hears
a bugle he will run' for blocks to
sit up -in front of -the bugler and
sing. His favorite melody is "mess
call." '
"Socks" does' not howl because.,thc
music seems to give him pain, but
probably imagines he is singing, as
his howl- is very tuneful.
This musical canine was brought
to tliis country recently by U. S
marines returning from a tour of
duty in the Virgin' islands. - '
the Turkish nationalist movement,
has just completed a tour through
out Asia Minor, during which he
has commented on Islamic unity.
Two weeks .ago, after a short stay
in Berlin, it was reported he had
started for Moscow by airplane.
Turk's Mission No Secret.
The English delegation, first 'to
lay down in the demand for the
German war culprits, did anolv to
the Noske governmenMor delivery L
ot Jinver Bey, which would indicate
the English were not unaware of the
object of the Turks' mission jn-er-lin.
t Last of all, Ludendorff is in Mos
cow. Asia-Minor is the new arena of
action. England's realization of this
fact is supported by the presence of
strong naval contingents . in the
Bosphorus and steadily increasing
land forces.
French appreciation of the situa
tion, coupled witli undisguised
bitterness, is well expressed in a

ing Sunday afternoon to decide

way men in the Rhineland 'had '
decided to join a generafstrike

Berlin, March 14. The two
governments of Germany are now
matching wits and forces to gain
control of the republic. . v T
Dr. Wolfgang , Kapp, who . pro
claimed the -new order afBerlin and
himself chancellor, is employing all
.his efforts to assure the Geunfn
people that government under ..him
and those he selects to administer
affairs, , will yfnean true democracy,'
increased productiveness and con
servation of the rights of the worK
ing people. .
- Friedrich' Ebert, president of the
old government, who with, most o?
his ministers hastily withdraw from
Berlin when the reyolting troops
marched in and Kapp and Vcm ,
Luettwitz took control, is 'variously"
reported to be at Dresden or Stutt
gart, and from his point of security,
is calling upon- the socialists and
working classes generally to. stand
by the old government and to use
the strike Aveapon so that-thc
counter-revolution may be promptly
suppressed.
General Strike Called.
' In response to this appeal a
general strike has been proclaimed
in many places, but in other part
of Germany, 'the call for a strike
has' not been received with favor.
A bloodless revolution thus far has"
characterized the movement : upon .
Berlin, where the people are viewing
evenb with that serenity to which
they haye been accustomed by the
occurence of recent years. '
There is, however, an under cur
rent of anxiety because barbed wire
entanglements have been thrown tap ,
in front of the" great public build
ings near Unter Den Linden and
Wilhelmstrasse, cannon and machine
guns are posted at the cross streets
and other points of vantage,. -and
heavily armed guards are stationed
throughout the city. This is an omin-
ous sign of possible clashes when
those opposed to the counter-re vo-v
lution marshal their forces for future
action i . v. - - .
Not Reactionary.
There has been constant official
reiteration of the statement that the .
new- government is not reactionary;
that it doe's not desire the restoration
of te monarchy, but that it has
tome into office so 'that Germany
may be rehabilitated. Chancellor
Knapp, in a statement to the foreign
correspondents said that the condi
tions of the peace treaty would be
fulfilled, so far as they could be
reconciled with German honor and
Germany's economic condition.
