Washington, Nov. 20. The nations attention was riveted on the White House today for the next move in the peace treaty battle. .; Friends of President Wilson could not believe he would swallow defeat on the irt-aty and the league of nations, In Jhe Interests of which .he has al ready sacrificed his health. Statement to Come. ' ' The president, it was Understood to day is working on a statement to the people telling them that chaos con fronts the world as a result of the trea ty failure, that it Is a victory for bo.N shevism and Germany, ant' put tin s: the blamo on leaders of the opposition in the senate. . His hottest shot mny be , reserved for his message to the ro;".las session of congress L'ecember 1, to which he intends to submit the treatv. One" of his first moves was expected to be formal withdrawal of the treat . . from congress where It has been laid on the table so that It may be pre sented again. Failure of the treaty knocked the ground from under hopes that there would be a "wet" Christmas. Peace, through treaty ratification, in larther away than ever before. It seem ed. The only chance of the wets was that the president would issued a proc lamation of peace and lift the war time prohibition ban, regardless of conse quences but this seemed hardly prob able. Foreign Reaction Watched. The administration today was anxi ously awaiting the world's reaction to the treaty defeat. Government offi cials believed it would . be a severe shock to other nations which partici pated in the peace conference, pointing & out that America took the lead through out and now refuses to accept the doc ument or be a party to any of the ar- ranements It sets up. - ' President AVilson himself Is known to believe that with the United States standing aloof, Europe Is liable to be' r'unged Into another war, worse than the one Just ended, in which this coun try will again become Involved. Those close to him . say he regarded the league of nations as the only safe guard against this. Therefore he is expected to continue his fight. If the league should hold together without the United States, the president fears the United States and Germany being the two Important countries shut oci .from the league would be thrown to f gether in an entente and that is the object toward which Germany propa gandists are working. Denver, Colo., Nov. 20. William j Carlisle today had outguessed seven posses, a troop of United States cav alry and the keenest sleuths of the Union Pacific railroad, hunting him for train robbery after his escape from Rawlins penitentiary in a wood en box. The latest authentic clue to Car lisle's whereabouts came from Casper, Wyo., where he was said to have en tered a newspaper office and nervily Inquired how the chase was progressr Ing. Another theory that he had entered Denver on a Union Pacific freight train caused the local police to throw out a dragnet. During is Conceded Carlisle Is conceded by authorities to be the most daring train bandit ever operating in this region. The search for the escaped convict Is the biggest man hunt ever staged in the west. . The Casper report did not surprise law officers because in 1916, before he was caught following three sue cessful train robberies, Carlisle had forced an armed train guard to ' pass the hat'' in one holdup, robber anoth er train after informing Union Pa clfic officials of his plans and kept an admiring public laughing at his pursuers with his letters to newspa pers. His escape from -prison in a shirt packing case and his single handed hold up of a Los Angeles limited Tues day, despite presence of an armed guard on the train, were on a par with his former exploits. Close Watch Kept , , The man hunt today, still centered at Medicine Bow, ,Wyo., near which town Carlisle leaped from the limited train after walking among the pass engers of a tourist sleeper and col lecting $400. The cavalry and posses there are quartered in the Virginia hotel, the setting,: of Owen Wister's famous novel, "The Virginian." Robber's Roost, the wild country below the .Laramie river, is being combed by posses. In the caves and canyons of Robbers-Roost many out laws have escaped capture. . . The bad lands of the Jackson Hole country to the northwest are also be ing watched for signs of Carlisle. But the general belief is that he is not far from the railroad lines in Wyoming Or is in hiding with friends. Carlisle's success in . robbing four Union Pacific trains is partly attrlb uted to his years of service as a brake man on that road, following his cow punching experience. Federal Officers Help If he is In the Casper region hi3 next defiance to his pursuers is ex pected to show in a holdup of a Bur lington railroad passenger train. Having robbed a train under fed eral control of railroads, Carlisle is fighting the power of the United States government. That is the ex planation for the prompt ordering out of federal cavalry men, the first time in this region's history that United States troops have been sent to cap- with its present equipment ture a train robber, "dead or alive." labout 16,000 tons.

About a week after the robbery of the stores at Silverton, "when clothing valued at $150 and bonds,' war saving stamps and cash worth $330 were stol en, Coffman and Hebeau were arrested ner Portland for speeding-. Wagner, who was in the auto, which had gone to Silverton and Jefferson to pick up the loot Wagner had taKen in the burglaries, leaped from the machine and made his escape in some nearby brush. Coffman and Tebeau, who were parole violators, were returned to the r-enilentiary. Wagner remained free until arrested and convicted at Astoria. Wagner also told Sheriff Needham that he had cached a quantity of dyna mite and caps near Mllwaukie. He did not say what he had Intended to do with this. He also told how he robbed a store at Amity, and had picked up the loot with the auto driven by Te- I beau.

School and Red CrosH officials today are up in arms against the Spokane County Medical association, following the sum ¬ mary closing up of a junior Red Cross clinic at one of the public schools. Tho clinic, consisting of a five-bed ward and an operating room, installed at an expense of $2000, was to haye been devoted to treating children of parents who couldn't afford to send their children to regular paid hos pitals. Tho medlcal-'assoclatlon served no tice on its members that if they do nated their time to the clinic they would court the disfavor of the asso ciation, on which they are dependent for much of their practice.
