E 1'aris, Jan. ft. (Ily the Associated Tress.) The supreme council has tentatively set January 10 for ratification of the treaty of Versail les. The Council's basis for a settlement on tho Scapa Flow sinkings was handed over to Huron von Len-ner today, and it was nnnounoed that uri agreement had been reached with the Herman delegation. Tho Beapa Flow agreement was reached upon the allies' ac cepting a diminution of 125,000 tons from the 400,000 tons of naval material originally demanded from Cicrniuny.

SUBMITS ACCOUN T OF LIFE IN MEXICO By JOB L. BAKER (Staff Correspondent, The Citizen) WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 6. Representative Zobulon Weaver, of the Ashevllle district, is not ono or those democrats who would allow the republicans to monopolise all the con fidence as to the outcome of thelB-O election. . Mr. Weaver believes that the dem ocratic record entitles that party to another four years of administration, and believes that the country will uf.mn ita annrnv&l on the party's per- lormances in the election next Novem ber. He believes that when the cam paign gets under way. and the party's splendid record is contrasted in the minds of the voters with that of the present republican congress, the great mass of lndepedent voters will rally to the standard of democracy, feeling that the party that has achieved the record the democratic party has since it came into power in 1913 is entitled " to a vote of both confidences and ap proval. Like many other democrats in con ' cress, Mr. Weaver decries the tend ency on the patft of a certain element in the party to be pessimistic as to the future, and it is unquestionably true that one of the things that must be overcome in the democratic ranks is this tendency to feel that the out look is hopeless, and therefore either not get Into the fight at all, or enter It in a half-hearted spirit Confidence is an essential to success, ana 11 mis tendency on the part of many demo crats to bo pessimistic can oe over come and the mass of the party can be Inspired with a fighting spirit and with confidence of success, then Mr. Wea ver and the other democrats in con gress believo they can and will win.
