TO AVOID MILITARY ACTS.
Paris, Dec 8. (By The Associ
ated Press.) The Supreme Coun
cil's notes dealing with the peace
treaty were delivered to Baron Von
Lersner, head of the German dele
gation this evening.
The first note denies ths German
demands for modification ef the
treaty or the surrender of Germans
charged with crimes against inter
.mUonsL: warfare and the return of
prisoners. It agrees to consider the
economie effects ef the indemnities
required for the sinking of the war
jhipsjn the. Bcspa Flow on Germany
in "a spirit of equity, after a hear
ing by the reparations commissions."
The note warns Germany "for the
last time" that denunciation of the
armistice would give the allied
armies all latitude for necessary
military measures, and adds:
"In this spirit we await without
delay signature of the protocol and
the exchange ef ratifications.

timation of Wilson's Attitude
Given In Letter
Washington, Dee. 8. The resolution
asking President Wilson to break off
diplomat! relation with the Carranza
government was abandoned today by
Republican leaders in the Senate after
th President had informed Senator
Fall, of New, Mexico, its author, that he
would "be gravely concerned to see
any such resolution pass" the Congress."
la announcing after a conference with
Senators Fall and Brandegee of Connecti
cut, that th foreign Relation commit
tee would take no action on the resolu
tion Benator Lodge said: -
"W wanted to help, but now the en
tire Mexican situation goes to the Presi
dent. Th responsibility is on his
shoulders. Let it rest there."
Weald Caaae Cenfuaioa.
Passage of th resolution, the Presi
dent wrote Senator Fall, would "con
stitute a reversal of our constitutional
practice which might lead to very grave
confusion in regard to th guidance of
our foreign affairs."
Declaring that the initiative in direct
ing relation with f ovelga g over amenta
waa assigned by the : constitution "to
th executive sad to the executive only,"
Mr. Wilson said ha was confident that
"th only safe course'' was "to adhere
to th prescribed method of the consti
tution "W might go "very far afield if we
departed from it," he said.
Senator Fall, ia statement tonight,
took to-no-wlth th President that the
Senate toald not advise oa matters af
fecting rotation with foreign, govern
ments until requested to do ao by the
President and said there wor prece
dents to support him. He also said he
would again request th committee to
postpone actios oa his resolution, "or
upon any phase of the Mexican matter,
until th President ' had had tint to
give the subject his consideration.
Before th President aiapatenea me
letter, th Senat Foreigu Belations
Committee held an hour's session for
discussion of th Mexican situation, in
eluding the Carranza oil decrees, which
hav been th subject of diplomatic
correspondence between the United
States and Mexico, but at the suggestion-of
Senator Fall action on his reso
lution was deferred until th President
had expressed his viens. .
Senator Fall tonight mad public th
memorandum which he sent th Presi
dent dealing with the result of the in
vestigation of th. Senate committee of
which th New Mexico Senator ia chair
man. ' Part of this information was
given Mr. Wilson last Friday by Sena
tor Fall when he and Senator Hitch
cock, Democrat, of Nebraska, called at
the Whit House to discus th Fall
resolution. '
No Iatlmatloa ef Attltad.
Mr. Wilson's statement ia his letter
that what the New Mexico Senator had
told . him ' of th investigation, "pre
pared" him to 'find in tho memoran
dum matter ef "the greatest import
ance," was interpreted by 'torn Sens-j
tor as meaning that th Preeident had
not yet had tim to study Mr, Fall's
report.
Senator noted also that th Presi
dent's letter gave ao indication as to
whether a change of th administration's
attitude toward Mexico wss under con
sideration. During the day th Stat

(Staff Correspondent.)
Charlotte, Dee. 8. While Clyde Hoey
was wearing his winning smile in th
more mountainous part of the district
today, Democratic headquarters here
were completing plans for a barrage of
oratory and a whirlwind campaign the
rest of the week.
Beaming horizontally as much as his
jet black locks reach perpendicularly,
Mr. Hoey went into Yancey this morn
ing and at noon spoke to a fine erowd
of representative voters, according to
ths news that came back to headquar
ters tonight. He was accorded the same

Burke. He spent the day in Yancey
snd will eome back through Madison to
morrow. Wednesday night he returns
here to make hi first speech of the cam
paign in Mecklenburg.
Morehead Headquarters Silent.
Silence, on th other hand was the
keynote at Morehead headquarters. Re
publican managers declared they were
making no speaking preparation but
new that Morehead waa in th Repub
lican atrongbolds in tbo mountains and
that Jake Newett wets at Hickory tonight
was pretty well circulated through
Charlotte.
Reports reached Charlotte today of
a speech in Lincolnton Saturday night
delivered by A. A. (Mike) Wbitener,
in behalf of Morehead, the burden of
whiah was a defense of Morohead'f ass
eiatioa with big busier.
- Th parallel he drafted, ia order to

Repablicaa Want Gag.
Th Republican organization hers to
day again disclaimed any intention of
bringing . Miles Poindexter, self-announced
candidate for the Presidency on
th Republican ticket, to tho district.
Th truth is the Republicans, as on
admitted today, "have enough trouble
of their own; np here." They don't want
Potndexter ' or anyono else. If they
could hav gagged Dr. Moses and Dr.
Fees and kept copies of the Republic a

might not be so peeved with th Na

cises its true function la organization
for the' purpose of insugurating and

Kej-arding Further Steps To
Be Taken: Massachusetts
Senator
Holds Treaty Is
Dead
Washington, Dec 8. Action by the
Senate on the Versailles peace treaty
and th resolution of Senator Lodge,
Republican, Massachusetts, proposing to
declare th war with Germany at as
end. tonight appeared Improbable until
rfter th Christmas recess, schedules to
run from December 20 to January 6.
The deadlock over procedure as to
the Versailles treaty apparently has
tightened and Republican leaders
agreed to defer action temporarily on
th Lodge resolution. Although a meet
ing of the Foreign Belations committee
for Wednesday was arranged, Senator
Lodge said his resolution probably
would await disposition by th Bouse
of a similar proposal.
Differ la Views.
. Senator Lodge sad Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, administration leader, to
day indicated complete disagreement re
Carding further steps as to the treaty.
The former declared the next mors
must come from President Wilson whil
Senator Hitchcock, with equal emphasis,
said the Senat must act first.
"The treaty Is dead so fsr as tho Sen
ate is concerned unless it is revived by
th President," said Senator Lodge,
commenting on Senator Hitchcock's con
tention and th President I statement lo
Mr. Hictheoek thst be has "shifted re
sponsibility to other shoulders," and did
not contemplate withdrawal and re
submission of th treaty.
"The Senat has gone si far as the
Srlismentary aituation permits," ths
aasachusctts Senator added. "Unless
th President withdraws and resubmits
th treaty, th Senat can tok no fur
ther action. Th recent vote oa recon
sideration wa Anal. Th President, how
ever, ha power to withdraw th tres'.y
and resubmit It, with or without sug
gestions." ' v
Tho Beast MsJt Act '
"The Senat itself is required to set
en th treaty," said Mr. Hitchcock. "Un
der the constitution ths President is re
quired to submit treaties to tho Senate
for disposition. He has don this with
the Germs treaty. Ths Senate has aot
acted Anally nor disposed of it. It
merely hsi refused to adopt d proposed
amendments, reservations snd thre res
olutions ef ratification. Th treaty still
is pending ia th Senate oa th desk of
th Vice-President, and th President is
not required to withdraw and resubmit
It. Th duty of disposing of lb trcity
ast ill devolve itself upon th Seoslr
wlthint other action by th r-iealdent."
Senator Hitchcock reiterated hi on
position to bringing th treety before
tho Senat again "to hav it kicked
round lik a football" befor a om
promise is reached, ,
Activ negotiation! on posaibl com
promise reservations, it in xpeettd,
