Peace Resolution Not to Be
Acted on Before Latter
Part of Week —Fourth De
feat for Pact
WASHINGTON. March 20.—After
a troubled eight months’ sojourn
in the senate, the treats' with Ger
many was back in the keeping of
President Wilson tonight with a
note appended saying that ratifica
tion had been refused.
What the president’s next move
would be remained conjecture.
White House officials declined to
comment. The general feeling of of
ficials elsewhere about the capital,
however, was that Mr. Wilson prob
ably would let the treaty lie on his
desk while the bitter controversy
it has raised is fought out in the
political campaign.
The treaty was taken back to
the White House early in the day
by a bevy of officials and messen
gers from the senate, in pursuance
of an order adopted last night af
ter a fourth • vote on ratification
had failed to muster the necessary
two-thirds.' It was delivered to Sec
retary Tumulty, who receipted for it
in the name of the president.
Scarcely had the bulky document,
the bone of senate contention
through many weeks of stormy de
bate and negotiation, passed physi
cally out of the Capitol building
when some of the senators who
worked for ratification began a
movement to recall it and try once
mora, for a compromise. Mild res
ervation Republicans and compro
mise Democrats discussed the possi
bilities of such an effort, without
decision, however, and the predic
tion of leaders on both sides was
that no proposal for another re
consideration ever would take ■ se
rious form.
The unsettled state of senate
opinion, nevertheless, had the ef
fect of slowing up the plans of
the Republican leaders for passage
of a declaration of peace and it was
decided after many conferences that
the resolution for that purpose
probably would not be urged before
late next week. Previously the pur
pose had been to bring it up Mon
day and press it for early action.
Afraid of House
In making this decision the majori
ty managers in the senate are under
stood to have been influenced in part
by undetermined factors in the house,
which also would have to act on a
peace resolution and whose leaders
balked at a similar proposal last De
cember.
Most of the ranking members of
the house foreign affairs committee,
in whose hands the peace resolution
would fall, were out of town and had
not informed their associates of their
attitude.
During the day the senate was not
in session, but the question of a
peace declaration was raised in the
house by 'Representative Tinkham,
Republican, Massachusetts, who in
troduced a declaratory resolution and
had it referred without debate to the
foreign affairs committee. In its
general provisions it follows the
resolution of Senator Knox, Republi
can, Pennsylvania, which is backed
by the Republican senate leaders.
Both provide for repeal of the dec
laration of war, for certain settle
ments with Germany, and for a dec
laration of international policy.
Until some affirmative action is
taken by congress or the president
to end the war status legally, the
technical position of the country re
mains. officials say, just what it -was
the day after the armistice was
signed. War legislation thus in force
and under the war department inter
pretation of the situation the presi
dent retains his war powers as com
mander-in-chief to keep American
troops at whatever posts in Germany
he thinks necessary to enforce the
armistice terms.
The president has expressed em
phatic disapproval of securing a
technical peace status by any method
except ratification of the treaty.
Senators generally do not believe
he had altered that position, and the
Republican senate leaders confident
ly expect that if they pass a peace
resolution he will veto it. They hope,
however, to secure enough Democrat
ic support to repass it in both houses
by the necessary two-thirds ma
jority.
Given to Tumulty
- Senate officials who have had
physcal custody of the treaty since
July 10, when President Wilson him
self carried it into the senate cham
ber. lost no time today in obeying
the mandate to return'll to the White
House. Accompanied by several mes
sengers, George A. Sanderson, secre
tary of the senate, took it to the
executive offices bright and early
this morning and had to wait nearly
an hour before Mr. Tumulty appear
ed to receipt for it.
The big volume, wrapped in brown
paper nd bound up with red tape,
at first was taken into the office
of Rudolph Forster,' executive clerk
the White House, but Mr. Sander-
Mon -kilned to leave it until he had
a receipt signed by the secretary to
the president. When Mr. Tumulty
arrived he went for a talk with the
•president. Almost an hour elapsed
before he returned to find the treaty
on his desk and Mr. Sanderson and
hl.«t assistants waiting.
After the receipt had been signed,
one of the messengers took up the
treaty to hand it to Secretary Tu
multy, but the latter demurred. “Det
it lie there,” said Mr. Tumulty, and
the delegation from the senate de
parted.
Except for the few hours it was at
the government printing office tor
making the first printed copies, the
official text of the treaty brought
from Versailles in the personal pos
session of the president has reposed
in a safe in Secretary Sanderson’s
office since it was given to the senate.

i Says Democratic Voters
Should Be Allowed Free
Expression at Polls —De-
feat of Treaty a Calamity
Senator Hoke Smith, who returned
from Washington Sunday, on Mon
i day morning issued a statement con-
I cerning the failure of the peace
1 treaty and the request for the use
■of his name in the Georgia presi-
■ dential primary.
i Senator Smith states that he has
j under serious consideration the re
i quest for him to enter the primary.
, It looks as if the views of the vast
! majority of the voters of Georgia
will have no real opportunity for
i expression, as matters now stand,
‘ says the senator, and some plan
I should be adopted to give their views
■ a representation.
Senator Smith regards the failure
! of the treaty as a national if not an
! international calamity.
Senator Smith expects to be here
this week and will be at the Pied-
| mont hotel.
Senator’s Statement
I The senator's statement follows in
j full:
“The failure of the senate to rat
j ify the peace treaty is a national, if
not an international, calamity. It
has left us technically in a state of
war, hindering our commercial rela
tions with Europe. It has prevent
ed the contribution of our influence
towards quieting conditions in Eu
rope and towards establishing the
business situation throughout that
great continent. -This is a serious
lossy to our country and a tragic loss
to them. In my opinion, however,
it would have been even more un
; fortunate to have accepted the treaty
without the reservations necessary to
protect American interests.
“Fifty-seven senators either voted
or were paired in favor of ratifi
cation. Os the nineteen Democrats
who voted against ratification, I do
not believe more than four would
have failed to support the treaty
with reservations except fox- the fact
that they had either promised the
president eight or ten months ago
to support the treaty without reser
vations, or they believed he would
pigeonhole it if ratified with reser
vations. X
Tko Hcubtful States
“All the Democrats, except one.
from doubtful states supported the
treaty with reservations and they
all believed that the people of their
states favored ratification with sub
stantial reservations. The failure of
at least ffteen moe Democrats to
support ratification with reserva
tions was due to the attitude of the
president on the subject.
“It is a national calamity to take
this question into the political
campaign. It will be utterly impos
sible, with the next congress, to
ratify the treaty-' without reserva
tions just as strong as those before
the senate last week. We are not
only kept in a state of technical war.
but public attention- is withdrawn
from domestic problems of the
greatest importance. ,
Presidential Primary
“I am considering the request that
my name go before the people of
Georgia in the coming preferential
primary.
“As the Hall county -Democrats
have pointed out, an unfortunate sit
uation has developed in the Georgia
primary. It looks as if the views of
the vast majority of the voters of
this state will have no real opportu
nity for expression.
“Some plan should be adopted to
give this view opportunity for ex
pression in the coming Georgia pri
mary.
“The party should plant itself upon
the great achievements of the Dem
ocratic congress and administration,
but it would be political suicide to
indorse the Deague of Nations with
out reservations or to indorse every
phase of President Wilson’s admin
istration.
“It should then nominate candi
dates who will not only serve ably
when elected, but who can help win
the fight.”

PARIS. March 22.—The American
mission in Berlin has presented
! Premier Bauer with a communica
tion declaring the United States can
i not furnish any more food to Ger
many if a soviet government is
established, a Berlin dispatch today
said.
CONDITIONS SERIOUS,
MINISTER DECLARES
BERLIN, March 21.(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —Conditions in Ger
many were described by the ministry
of defense this morning as extreme
ly serious.
“You cannot paint the situation
throughout Germany too black,’ an
official at the ministry declared to
the correspondent after a survey of
the reports that had come in dur
ing the night.
An official report from Deipsic
says that no further excesses oc
curred on Saturday in that city and
that several points evacuated by the
workmen were occupied by troops. In
the suburbs, however, the workmen
refused to abandon their positions.
Further communist reinforcements
have arrived, the reports added.
Railwa traffic in the Deipsic region
was fully resumed on Sunday.
In the Halle district the position
was reported worse from a govern
ment aspect. Counter-action among
a section of the workingmen is
threatened through the calling' of a
strike if a soviet republic is pro
claimed. Communists are declared
to be preventing willing men front
resuming their work.
L
Ten Thousand Attend
Great Bible Conference
At Baptist Tabernacl
Ten thousand people attended the
lour services of the Bible conference
Sunday at the Baptist Tabernacle,
and several thousand others were
turned away.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, preaching
ott the attitude of the world toward
Christ, made three striking state
ments Sunday night to the greatest
crowd that has ever thronged the
Tabernacle.
“Kings are at a discount just now,”
he exclaimed, “and statesmen are
discredited because of their inability
to deal with world problems. There
are times when 1 feel like packing
up my things and going back to Eng
land to speak against much that is
happening there; for instance, the
damnable policy that has left the
Turk in Constantinople. Your own
country is partly to blame for this.
If you had taken a mandate against
it. he wouldn’t be there. They say
he is to have no power. Then if he
isn’t, why in the name of God is he
left there? He is no ornament.”
Speaks of Spiritualism
Next Dr. Morgan spoke of spirit
ualism.
“Tell me,” he exclaimed, "at the
seances and lappings that are being
held all over the world, did anyone
ever dare to call up Jesus? The spir
itualists have got rid of Him. He
is out of their scheme. Spiritualism
is a black art born in hell.”
He next took up the subject of
democracy.
“Your president uttered a great
thought,” continued Dr. Morgan,
“when he said that the world must
be made safe for democracy. But
democracy must also be made safe
for the world. A Godless democracy
will give us something worse than
Germany. Dook to the ast, to Rus
sia. There God is shut out, Christ is
laughed at. There the effort to es
tablish a democracy with Jesus
Christ excluded has resulted in ty
rannies and cruelties beyond expres
sion.
“Your nation is as strong as the
men and women who make it up.
The last and vital question is what
are you going to do with Jesus.
Upon the answer depends everything.
For God’s sake be sane and honest.”
The four sessions held Sunday at
the Tabernacle constituted in many
respects the most remarkable relig
ion program ever observed in At
lanta.
When Dr. Morgan preached at
night, the two galleries as well as
the main floor were crowded to the
last seat, and at least 500 people
stood in the space at the rear of the
church and along the sides. An au
dience practically as large attended
Dr. Morgan’s sermon in the morn
ing. In the afternoon, two mass
meetings were held, one at 2 o’clock,
addressed by Dr. John Paul, of Wil
more. Ky., another at 3 o’clock, ad
dressed by Dr. George W. McPher
son. of New York. The crowd at
each of these services filled the
main floor and the first gallery.
Since the Tabernacle has a seating
capacity of 3,200, it is estimated that
about 3,500 people attended the
morning service, and about 3,700 the
evening service. The crowds at the
afternoon meetings swelled the day’s
attendance to total of at least
10,000.

FORMER CHIEF OF
NAVAL OPERATIONS
NAMEOJN PROBE
Sims Declares That Caution
Against British Was Re
peated in Paris Three
Months After First Given
WASHINGTON, March 22.—1 t wae
Admiral W. S. Benson who warned
Admiral Sims: “Don’t let the British
pull the wool over your eyes,” Ad
miral Sims declared at the senate
naval inquiry today.
Admiral Sims several weeks ago
told the senate naval subcommittee
that the warning had been given to
him during a conference at the navy
department as he was about to sail
for Europe only a few -weeks be
fore this coutry entered the war.
Admiral Benson, at the time of
the alleged utterance, was chief of
naval operations. He is now head
of the shipping board.
Gave Name Reluctantly
It was only with apparent reluc
tance that Admiral Sims divulged
Mr. Benson’s name after Chairman
Hale had twice requested it.
Admiral Sims said the incident oc
curred either just before or just aft
er he had been In Secretary Daniel'S’
office receiving his orders to go to
Europe.
“It was just after I came out of
the secretary’s office or just before I
went in. I can’t remember which,
except that I was In somebody else’a
office, I think it was the chief of
naval operations, and I think he waa
present—that these Instructions -were
given by a certain official of the navy
department,” Admiral Sims said.
“I have tried to avoid any personal
reference.”
“I think the committee should have
the name of the officer,” Chairman
Hale stated.
"Well, it was Admiral Benson, who
was then chief of naval operations,”
Admiral Sims said. “I received no
other instructions from him. It was
preceded by nothing, followed by
nothing and told me In all serious
ness. I Ibft immediately.”
Calls Benson “Anti-Britlsh”
Admiral Sims referred tb Admirai
Benson as being “Intensely antt-
British” and said his statements
were repeated In substance on two
subsequent occasions.
Admiral Sims said that when he
met Admiral Benson In Paris six
months later the admonitions were
repeated in substance and that a
third time the same thing happened
in Dondon.
“I had known of the opinion that
he was Intensely anti-British,” Ad
miral Sims said.
“I regarded this as a personal
prejudice on the part of Admiral
Benson.”
Admiral Sims said he included Ad
miral Benson’s remark in his letter
to Secretary Daniels on January 7
regarding the navy’s part In the war
because “if a man has a prejudice
against men fighting alongside of
him it has an unconscious Influence
on him.”
Calls Benson Honest
The admiral told the committee he
had always regarded the admonition
as “a personal prejudice on the part
of Admiral Benson.” He .described
the former chief of operations as “an
upstanding, honest man who has
strong convictions,” and said he be
lieved everything that Admiral Ben
son did during the war was done
“conscientiously.”
It was due largely to Admiral Ben
sjn’s confidence in him that he was
elected to the high post he occupied
during the war, Admiral Sims said,
adding that in urging his selection
Admiral Benson incurred the dislike
cf many officers senior to Admiral
Sims, who desired the post.
Senator Pittman brought out that
Admiral Sims had shown a copy of
his letter of January 7 to H. P. Da
vison, of New York, while he was a
guest at Mr. Davison’s home about
the middle of January. The officer
could not recall the date, but said
liis aide thought it was on January
14. He admitted that showing the
letter was “an indiscretion.”

in Ford-Newberry Contest,
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 20.
United States Senator Truman H.
Newberry, maker of laws, today felt
the weight of the law. Standing In
federal court here, he was sentenced
to two years in the ' Deavenworth
federal penitentiary and to pay a
SIO,OOO fine. Sixteen followers, con
victed with him of fraudulent prac- ‘
tices in the elections of 1918, were
sentenced to imprisonment or fines
or both, as follows:
Frederick Cody, two years, $lO,-
000; Paul H. King, two years, $lO,-
000; Charles A. Floyd, two years.
$5,000; William Mickel, two years;
Allan Templeton, one year, six

Henry, one year, three months; H.i

Chilson, one year, one day; George •
S. Dadd, SI,OOO.
Judge Clarence W. Sessions grant
ed the convicted men a sixty-day stay
of sentence, to permit appeals. Bonds
for all the men were posted by Sen
ator Newberry, who asserted he was
not ashamed of conviction.
He will take the case to the su
preme court, he said, for a ruling on
the merits of the corrupt practices
act. His greatest concern was for
those who had helped him win his
office, and who, at the end of an
eight weeks’ trial, had been found
guilty with him. Sixty-eight de
fendants were acquitted by the jury.
The trial ending today with the .
sentencing of the senator and six
teen of his workers, had brought out
a story of lavish use of money in
Newberry’s campaign against Henry
Forth- in 1918. The eight weeks of
strained attention to detailed testi
mony had engraved lines in the faces
of the defendants. One of them,
Paul H. King, had collapsed and was
unable to attend the last sessions.
Men Hazed, Wives Wssp
With the verdict came the reaction.
The court room was crowded. De-,
fendants and their wives occupied
the front rows. Spectators jammed
the room to the doors and an over-.
flow struggled down the outside
walks. The verdict was read. Wom
en began crying as the list of con
victed onen increased. Then there
xfras a burst of laughter. A hysterical
woman was led from the room by
her friends. Others followed her.
Tears coursed down the cheeks of
men acquitted as they were embraced
by wives and friends.
The convicted men appeared dazed, ;
but the women sensed the situation, ,
and the troubles of the defendants i
were momentarily forgotten in caring
for them. Joy over acquittal was ‘
tempered for some as they tried to
cheer close friends who had been
found guilty.
Mrs. Newberry, wife of the chief
defendant, was calm at the rendering i
of the verdict. But she retired to
her room at the hotel immediately on
adjournment of court and did not
appear until tonight when, with her
husband and son, she left for De
troit.
When sentences were passed, after
a noon recess, the women were not *
in evidence. The shock of the verdict
was too great for most of them.
Newberry Issues Statement
“The great satisfaction to be
drawn from the conclusion of these
proceedings is that there is not one
word in the record that will ever
cause any member of my family
or any friends to apologize for or
explain, or to feel ashamed. All
charges of corruption, fraud or bri
bery in the primary or election were
dismissed by the court, and not one
word of evidence was introduced in
connection therewith.
“My life-long memory of the loyal
ty and devotion of the men who *
were indicted with me will be always
of the greatest value and the fact
that 118 have been acquitted and
five counts of the indictment have
been eliminated Is some evidence of
the extravagance of the charges as
presented. My heartfelt congratula- ■
tlons go out to these men whose ac- ;
tlons have been justified and who
have been completely vindicated and 1
acquitted.
“The charge that I am convicted
of is conspiracy to violate an election
law, which has never yet been re- '■
viewed by any appellate court, nor i
has any judicial determination of
that law ever been recorded until j
now.* I am charged with partici- ;
pating, as a candidate, in an election ;
for senator from Michigan, with
knowledge that the cost of the cam
paign would exceed $3,750, which
sum was to be contributed by my
friends. If any one had ever men
tioned to me that the law could be
interpreted to bring about this re
sult, certainly neither I, myself, nor
any intelligent human being could
possibly have entered Into a cam
paign under the circumstances that
confronted me at that time.
Will Not Resign
“I certainly shall not* resign my
seat in the senate, unless required
to do so by the senate itself, or un
til the supreme court of the United
States has affirmed the interpreta
tion of this law under which the
alleged conspiracy is said to have
occurred. Moreover, unless my as
sociates in the senate deem it un
wise, I expect to continue to repre
sent the people of Michigan, who sent
me to the United States senate.”
Testimony offered by the defense
was the determining factor in bring
ing the jury to the verdict of guilty.
“Without Paul King’s testimony
that he told Senator Newberry the
campaign would cost S-SO.OOO, the
