The final defeat of the treaty was
accomplished by a combination of
■Democratic senators who followed the
president's command to reject the
treaty as It had been modified by the
senate, and the group of both Republi
can and Democratic senators who were
opposed to the League of Nations In
any form, and these latter are the
only ones who are satisfied with the
result.
Following the rejection of the treaty
the senate passed a resolution return
ing the tiVaty to the president with the
formnl notice of Its failure, and It can
not now come before the senate again
unless the president returns It to that
body. It Is not expected that he will
do this.
Senator Knox Introduced a Joint
resolution for the purpose of declaring
the war at an end, and this resolution
follows the terms-of the Versailles
treaty exclusive of the league cove
nant.
The action of the senate In defeat
ing the treaty means that It will now
become a leading Issue In 'the presi
dential campaign. That the majority
of th® American people had hoped to
see the treaty adopted, some wilh and
»ome without reservations. Is clearly
evidenced by the expressions of the
great mass of the newspapers, and
both parties will attempt to make
capital out of this sentiment by an
effort to convince the public that the
other side was responsible for the d#
fent of the treaty.
America's entry Into the league of
Nations Is still s possibility. The
treaty can he returned to the senate
oouncement comes from his govern
ment that the present rioting and com
munistic demonstrations will lie con
trolled as easily as were the Sparta
clde outbreaks. Observers who have
been warning that a renewal of war
In Europe was Imminent and that It
needed but a spark, are firm In the be
lief that the spark Ins been applied.
Meanwhile the kaiser lo his Holland
Mtreat, Is sawing wood literally. The
erstwhile crown prince Is reported run
ning around In circles alternately buoy
ed and .depressed by the course of
events, llyliand has doubled the guards
surrounding the residences of the two.
Firm In her determination not to abate
the right of sanctuary to which she

equal ly disposed not to permit them i

pants In any of the affairs of the dis
turbed area.
In the race for presidential nomina
tions theaMlnnesota primary furnished
n test of strength and a new basis for
forming theories. Unless verified re
turns change the figures Wood will be
shown to have carried every county
In the state but two. His lead appears
to be 50 per cent over his nearest com
petitor, Senator Johnson, with nearly
four times as many votes as Lowden.
although Minnesota Is the native state
of the Illinois governor. This disposes
of a prediction that A soldier candidate
would be defeated In an agricultural
stnte, which though traditionally Re
publican, President Wilson almost car
ried In 1910, the claim being made
that the "kept us out of war" Issue
contributed largely to his strength.
Much significance Is also attached to
the comparatively large vote In the
primary for Herbert Hoover, whose
name It was necessary to paste or
write upon the ballot. It Is taken as
an evidence of his strength with Inde
pendent Republicans. The Wood forces
regard the Minnesota result as an au
gury of success in South Dakota.
Mr. Bryan has announced himself In
favor of primary Instructions while
Mr. McAdoo Is against them. The
former thinks that general opposition
to Instructions savors of reaction
against the Bptmary system. Inciden
tally,
not a amdldate for the Democratic
nomination, neither Is he running away
from It. His attitude seems to be that
he Is not seeking It, but that the nomi
nation may do all the seeking It wants
In his direction.

Constantinople was occupied ,|>y allied
forces under Gen. Sir George F. Milne
of the British army. The ancient city

time In nearly five centuries. This long
anticipated military demonstration was
accomplished with but slight resist
ance. At the war office an exchange
of shots occurred In which two British
soldiers were killed and four wouDded.
Nine Turks were killed. The city
whlclf has withstood so many sieges
and been the grave of so many expedl
tlons sent against It, hap never before
In history surrendered so quietly. The

that In the occupation there was no
Intention to permanently destroy the

Mexico continues to be a point of
most absorbing Interest. As a prob
lem It will soon call fdr something like
definite settlement. In the present
condition of the world, the dearth of
materials, especially minerals, oil and
foodstuffs, this natural treasure house
must be opened. Ju/t how It. Is to be
accomplished Is not exactly evident.
America and American Interests have
been listening to the claims of rival
candidates for direction of affairs In
that country. Obrcgon has put forth
n statement of his qualifications, plain
ly Implying that he Is the only man
who has the ability to grapple with
the problems of that disturbed nation
and restore It to tranquility or at least
comparative safety for agricultural and
Industrial pursuits. There Is n famil
iar sound to his assertions. Just like
those of others who' have aspired to
the task and failed signally.

Although Germany has occupied
eminence conspicuous In the center of
the stage of world events during the
week and considerable light has arisen
from the conflagration raging within
her borders, much mystery rules as to
the true state of.affairs. Dark areas
exist which the, aputllghts of anxious
International Interest Snd the tele
scopes of publicity cannot penetrate,
jpne thing certnln Is that the revolu
tion Instigated by Kapp, I.uettwltz and
others with Kapp as self-appointed dic
tator, has heen overthrown jifter five
days of hectic, febrile existence. The
active agent In bringing about this
speedy dendse was n general strike of
.workmen centered In BerMn.
GRAHAM, N. 0., THURSDAY. MARCH 25.1980
Whether me offspring of mlHtaristie
designs, an effort to administer oxy
gen to the gasping hopes of royalty, a
cunning machination of bolshevlsm, or
a deeply laid plot involving all partlea
to muddy the waters of International
' affairs and se defeat the terms of tbe
peace treaty at affecting Germany, ts
not yet evident and may not be clear
for a long time. At any rate, the rev
olution appears to have been a feeble
child. When the railroad workers quit
and also those of the public utilities
Including gas, water and electricity,
the life-giving and distributive facili
ties ceased. A lustier Infant could
have lasted longer, bat eventually
would have succumbed.
Has the Ebert government been mere
camouflage? Ebert seems to hare
known what was Impending and at th«
first sound of alarm deserted Berlin
after calling upon the proletariat to
support him by the strike. Earlier ad
vices Indicated that Noske, his minis
ter of defense, the man who has re
cently been proclaiming hla acceptance
of the principles of the treaty and Ma
determination to help work them ouC
had an understanding with the revoln
tlonaries. Time alone will demonstrate
the truth or falsity of this Indication.
With the and eastern
situations what flW' are, added to the
complications of the Adriatic situation
and the internal affairs of France and
England, It would seem to be • fairly
opportune time for Germany to stage
a muddling and distracting demonstra
tion. There are elements aplenty In
Germany committed to such Intentions.
That which now seems likely is that
the various groups could' not work to
gether harmoniously. Ludendorff was
In Moscow Intriguing with Lenlne and
Trotsky/a case Indeed of politics mak
ing strange bedfellows. At home there
was a movement, If Ebert and his fol
lowers could be rendered sufficiently
complaisant, to set up Hlndenburg as
a candidate for president Notwith
standing that Ludendorff, tbe embodi
ment of reactlonlsm, was flirting with
the personification of advanced radi
calism, and Hlndenburg'a supporters
were endeavoring to make friends with
the socialistic adherents of Ebert, a re
actionary undercurrent was prevalent
throughout all the plotting. If the
revolution went off half cocked, aa
seems fairly evident It was due te hu
man nature and the Impossibility of
combining antagonistic elements and
soothing Individual ambitions. Through
out the whole affair there has been de
celt, subterfuge and recrimination, a
heritage from the teachings of knltur;
proving that German leaders cannot
be honest with each other and can
scarcely face their own visages In k
looking glass.
Out of the whole mess has come the
renewed menlce of bolshevlsm. Har
nessmaker Ebert Is the one figure In
Germany who carries sny Indications
of Influence and strength on tbe side
of law and order. He ordered the
strike and It remains to be seen wheth
er or not he can control It Just now
tt looks as though he might have cre
sted a Frankenstein destined to crush
him and throfcr his nstlon—perhaps the
whole of Europe—lnto chaos. Soviets
have been proclaimed In certain places
In Germany. It Is true that these man
ifestations are confined largely to Sax
ony and other industrisl centers where
radicalism has been strongest. Ebert
has confidence In bis military resources
and In the sober Inclinations of the
people; thoroughly sick of war,
nnxlous to heal Internal troubles and
let back to work. Tbe optimistic as-
