THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, TUESDAY, 31 AY 13. - 1919. OUTCOME OF SENATE FIGHT IS UNCERTAIN Republicans Discuss Action of Progressive Group. BORAH STILL DETERMINED Idaho Member Declares He Will 2S"evcr Vote for Penrose, But Can not Speak lor Others. WASHINGTOX. May 12. Republican senators continued today to discuss plans for organization of the new sen ate preparatory to the meeting of the party caucus Wednesday. The confer ences centered about the opposition of the progressive group of senators to the selection of Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and Warren of Wyoming as chairman of the finance and ap propriation committees, respectively. Leaders of both the regular and pro gressive groups tonight said the situ- j terms is that many of them are bitter and sullen, but are inclined to resign themselves tt accept any terms no mat ter how harsh. No concrete plan of ac tion has been suggested in the event the German delegates at "Versailles re fuse to sign the treaty. American officers say the common people in the occupied area had widely divergent views, but that as a whole, they appear more or less stunned. Some are showing a spirit of bravado. One American who .had circulated freely among the civilians reported that none of them expected that Ger many would accept the terms. They said they could not see bow the people would be able to pay the idemnities. They asserted furthermore that the internal resources of Germany alone were insufficient to permit of the pay ment of indemnities for generations to come. Reports Are Summarised. An army intelligence summary out lines reports received from various civilian groups and individuals as fol lows: "Under existing conditions it is im possible for Germany ever to pay its war debts. Before the war Germany had only 10,000,000,000 marks in gold and the demand for pounds sterling in gold or merchandise in the first two years is absurd. How are we to pay where there are no goods if we have neither money nor credit with which to purchase materials or ships, if ours are taken by the allies?" Several civilians, according to the summary, expressed the opinion that the peace conditions were very hard, but still were not as severe as some had expected, and that they would rather that Germay should accept them than invite consequences of refusal. ation apparently was unchanged except i COPENHAGEN, May 12. Dr. Otto as to the number of the latter group Bauer, foreign minister of German- "ns m tduy meir upiiuoiuuu "(Austria, in a speecn to tne workers. Senators Penrose and Warren to the floor of the senate. Several senators considered as be longing to the regular group asserted that but two or three progressives ( f which has been received here would carry tneir attacK to me iioor. protested against the peace terms handed to the Germans at Versailles. An account of his speech is printed by the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin, a copy while the progressives said they did not know how many of them "would go the limit." Senator Borah of Idaho, leader of the forces opposing Senators Penrose and Warren, said he would "'never vote for Penrose," but added that he was unable to speak for the others, who declined to say whether they would go beyond the party confer ences The progressives were said to have admitted their willingness to support Senator Smoot of Utah for the ap propriations committee, but refused to favor him as president pro tern. The Utah senator was understood by both groups as willing not to seek election as president pro tern. Senators John son of California and Lenroot of Wis consin were mentioned by the progres sives as acceptable to them for presi dent pro tern., but neither has signified a willingness to seek the office. Formal notice of the attitude of the progressive group was given to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican leader, by Senators Borah and Johnson, and it was understood that they were told by the party leader that their fight was solely one for consideration at Wednesday's conference. GERMANS PROTEST TERMS Continued Prom First rage.) Plan Meets Objections. Dr. Bauer objected to the plan for making German-Austria a neutralized state and concluded: "This small German-Austria cannot exist alone. Unless we join with big Germany we shall not even be German-Austria." VERSAILLES, May 12. (By the As sociated Press.) Herr Glesberts and Herr Landsberg of the German peace delegation, accompanied by several sec retaries, will leave Versailles tonight for Berlin. . The departure of Landesberg and Giesberts is in no sense to be in terpreted as a breach in the peace ne gotiations. These plenipotentiaries not only have the important ministerial portfolios, respectively, of justice and posts and telegraphs, but are among the most influential political leaders in Germany. Landsberg is regarded as the brains of the majority socialists, while Gies berts is very high in the councils of the Catholic party and the Catholic labor unions. Their counsel is, there fore, required by the government in determining its attitude toward the peace conditions. It is understood that both the min isters will return to Versailles in case the peace treaty is signed. that is protesting against the signing. In the name of the independent so cialist party, Richard Weller told the workmen's councils of Greater Berlin that such "a dictated peace of cruel severity," as the entente desires to im pose upon Germany could not be a last ing peace. Therefore he demanded the assembling a congress of the councils to determine their attitude toward the question and to appeal to the entente proletariate to work against the peace ' "proposed by entente world imperial ism as embodied in the treaty." Hon Imperialists Scored. Herr Mueller, another of the indepen dent leaders, seizes the occasion again to assail the old imperialistic regime in Germany, which he declares incurred blood guilt by the invasion of France and Belgium and the destruction of mines and industries. Arguing against the prevalent pro tests. Karl Kautsky, writing in the independent organ. Die Freiheit, says: "Shall we sign the peace if it is not to be modified, or have we not any other choice? If it were a peace of destruction, a death sentence, as it is called, agreement to it would be sui cide. But hard as the conditions are. they do not lead to the downfall of the German people, even though they will make life terribly difficult. A genuine downfall, a rapid physical downfall, would come, however, if we declined to sign the peace, and reverted to a state of war. After a few weeks of fruitless opposition, costing millions and many lives, we would be forced to capit ulate." Negotiations Hoped For. The semi-official Wolff bureau last night issued a statement to the 'effect that the reply of Premier Clemenceau to the note of the German peace dele gation regarding the peace treaty, al though it seems to reject a discussion, implies a renewed adherence to the agreement of October and November, 1918 (armistice?;, and hints that prac tical proposals may be made for ne gotiations on the draft. The statement acas: That such negotiations are contem plated appears from the fact that the allies on Saturday asked for several printed copies of the German proposals on the league of nations and the labor charter. Premier Clcmenceau's reply to the German note on the league evades the central point of the ques tion. BERLIN. May 11, via London. Gov ernment troops have occupied Leipsic. A number of the spartacan leaders are taid to have been arrested. COPENHAGEN. "May 12. The occu pation of Leipsic by forces of Gustave Noske, minister of defense, was a com plete surprise, says a dispatch from Berlin to the National Tidende. Spar tacans made only slight resistance. Germans Seem Stunned. A etate of siege was immediately declared and steps taken to restore au thority of the government. COBLENZ, May 10. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The impression gained by American officers through talking with Germans regarding the peace RECONSTRUCTION Of Lost Health-Tone and Exhausted Reserve Strength.

Cotterill as member of the council. The honor came to Major Carroll quite unexpected, as he was not a candidate for the position and did not even know of the vacancy on the council until his arrival Jn Seattle Sunday afternoon after more than two years service overseas, having been Invalided home for treatment at the Lrtterman hos pital in San Francisco where he spent a month. Decision to cast their votes for Major Carroll was reached late Mon day morning by a group of councilmen who had determined to support only a returned soldier for the position but had been unable to agree upon a can didate until Major Carroll's name was suggested.

SCARLET FEVER SCARE CAUSED BY POISON OAK krvN'B of the aftermaths w of the spectacular flying circus that visited Portland Monday," says the Portland (Or.) Telegram, "was a hurry-up call to City Health Ofricer Parrlsh. Several bad cases of scarlet fever had broken out in St. Johns, it was reported. With trepidation as to a possible epidemic of the disease. Dr. Parriah rushed early to the scene of action. Instead of the scarlet fever, three well-developed case; of poison oak were discovered by the guardian of the city's health. The three children had forgotten there was such a thing as poison oak in their mad efforts to catch a cloee view of the birdmen and their planes at Mock's bottom." If the mothers of these children had had a bottle of Santisrptic Lotion at hand and had applied it, they would have been spared the apprehension caused by the supposed visitation of a dreaded disease. antiseptic is magi cal in its results in cases of oak or ivy poisoning; it allays instantly the itching ind the irritation. After a few applications the eruption and discol oration of the skin entirely disappear. Santiseptic also neals quickly and eas ily other irritations of the skin, such as fevcrand cold sores, chafing, sun burn, windburn and the eruptions and inflammation caused by insect bites. It is remarkable in its soothing, healing action. Santiseptic is easily procured at most drug stores. If your druggist cannot supply it, send 5u cents, with his name, to the Iisbeneott Labora tories, Portland, or., for full-size bottle, postpaid. Adv. Phone, yom.
