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

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

CARROLL GOES TO COUNCIL
Major Just Returned From Overseas
Honored by Election.
SEATTLE, Wash.. May 12. (Special.)
Major John U. Carroll, well-known
Seattle lawyer, former justice of the
peace and more recently an officer with
the American expeditionary force in
France, was chosen by members of the
N
city council at their meeting Monday
afternoon to succeed the late Roland
V. 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.
