The adjournment of the Unit ed States senate without ratification of the peace treaty created much surprise in peac-e eonirrence circle?, as dispatches dis-patches from Washington had sug-gested sug-gested that some compromise was probable. I Henry White of the American dele jsation received the news from the A-jsoclaied A-jsoclaied Tress while he was attendinc .the supreme council session today. The members of the council after ad-1 'journment withheld Comment. No formal meeting has been held between be-tween the German delegates, who arrived ar-rived yesterday morning and the representatives rep-resentatives of the allied powers con-cerning con-cerning tlu- protocol to the German peace treaty, ll now seems unlikely I that the protocol will be signed be-j Ifore the end of November as the Ger jinans oppose the provision requesting them to replace arships sunk when ihoir fleet was scuttled at Scapu l'low The failure of the allied and as I soelated powers to reach an agreement i on ihe treaty is reported to have1 greatly encouraged the Germans. As; the protoca must hp signed before the formal announcement of ratification by' the three powers required to make it effective, the date of putting tho treaty! Into effect seems uncertain In French official circles, although i there was disappointment over the senate's adjournment with the treaty situation still unsettled, no surprise v. as expressed Mid it even seemed that the event had been expected Apparently Appar-ently tin- situation had ben discussed; and measures taken In advance to meet the eventuality as Foreign .Iin jislcr Pichon, who presided over the supreme council today, urged that the treaty be put into force not later than December 1. U. S. ALARMS FRANCE. I PARIS. Wednesday, Nov. 19. (By the Associated Press.) While the allure Qf the American senate to ; ratify the German treaty has apparently apparent-ly alarmed the French, it seemingly lis not agitating the average Frenchman French-man so much as the fear that the United States may not ratify the joint agreement with England for the de- fenBQ oi France, which is uppermost in the minds of all French people. The president has considered the possibility of negotiating a new treaty In the event of the rejection of the1 present treaty, administration officials said, but he virtually has rejected that alternative as impracticable and now probably will take up With the principal prin-cipal signatories what compromise res-; ervatlohs would be acceptable to them. Senator Hitchcock said he expected the president, upon the convening of congress, December 1, to withdraw the treaty and later resubmit it, possibly wuh suggestions for acceptable reservations. |
