"WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.7The peace
treaty was formally brought back
into -the open ' senate . today, but as
soon as parliamentary barriers to Its
consideration had been removed It
was put aside again for a period of
waiting, which the leaders said would
last at least a week.
Suspending its rules by a bi-partl
tan majority of seven to one and vir
tually without debate, the senate re
considered in short order the action
hv which ratification failed on No
vember 19 and then, as a matter of
formality, sent the treaty to the for-
eien relations committee with in
ki met ions to report it back at ones

republicans at the last session.

morrow, but it was announced to
night that Senator Lodge would ask
that its report be not taken up for
consideration until next week. Urgent
lpcislntive matters, it was said, in-
i ludine aDDroDriations and tariff leg
islation, were expected to occupy the
. senate's time in the interval.
Rescue Areomplixhcd Quickly,
The complicated technical operation
n( takincr the treaty Irom its pigeon
hole was accomplished in accordance
with a programme previously agreed
upon by republican ana democrat ieaa
ers and with no one but the Irrec
oncilable foes of ratification raising
a voice in opposition. The debate was
kept strictly to parliamentary ques
tions and was of short duration, dis
appointing the largest crowd in the
talleries since the treaty was laid
aside in November.
Thirty-four democrats and 29 re
publicans voted to suspend the senate
rules so that the treaty again could
be considered, while nine republicans,
all of them of the irreconcilable group,
voted against It. The action was tak
en on motion of Senator Lodge after
one of the irreconcilables. Senator
Norris, Nebraska, blocked suspension
- of the rules by unanimous consent.
By acclamation, and again on the
motion of the republican leader, the
senate then ordered reconsideration of
its previous rollcall on ratification
and sent the treaty to a committee.
The later step, it was explained, was
taken to abrogate the cloture which
was imposed last session and which
Vice-President Marshall held must
come back into the senate with the
treaty. x
Only Two Roll-Calls Necessary.
Only two roll-calls were taken, one'
on the motion to suspend the rules
and another on sustaining the vice
president when he overruled Senator
Norris' point of order against the mo
tion to reconsider the ratification vote.
The latter resulted in a count of 62
to 10, the irreconcilables alone refus
ing to back up the ruling of the chair.
Later Senator Norris made a speech
bitterly criticising the parliamentary
methods by which the treaty's recon
sideration was accomplished.
In asking that the committee be in
structed to return the republican
reservations along with the treaty,
Senator Lodge declared the stipula
tion would bind no one and was re
quested merely to get the reserva
tions back before the senate for pos
sible revision. vVhen that has been
done, he- is expected to propose modi
flcations agreed on by the disbanded
bi-partisan compromise conference.
thus opening again the whole field of
compromise discussion.
In all quarters it was emphasized
tonight that the smoothness of the
play's proceedings was not to be taken
as assuring any agreement between
the parties on reservations. Although
many senators professed to be hope
ful of ratification, it was conceded
everywhere that many differences
still stood in the way. There were
evidences also that the irreconcilable
group had plans of its own to mag
nuy mese differences as much as
possible.

BERLIN, Feb: . (Special.) The
revolution has not revolutionized the
German mentality. The peace psy
chology of the Germans is not essen
tially different from what it was be
fore and during the. war. .
The-rank- and file of the German
people betray . no sign of .feeling
"crushed" , by defeat and. the peace of
Versailles. If anything, they still
feel a lot of pride, which generally
takes the form of such typical Ger
man statements as- "Even our ene
mies must admit that we fought well,"
or "Say what one will, Germany put
,up a wonderful fight against the
whole world." . -
Many Germans still believe and will
tell you that "Germany was not' mili
tarily beaten," but that "the victo
rious German army was stabbed in
the back." Most Germans will sooner
or later tell you that "Germany would
have won the war but for America."
Often this Jdea takes the form of the
frank, laconic admission, "America
beat us." ;
Ex-Kaiser Blamed for War,
No large body of Germans has been
converted from the fixed German idea
about the blame for the war. All the
revelations to date have not resulted
in. any nation-wide confession o
guilt. The German people feel them
selves as innocent as babes. If any
blame attaches to anybody, it is up to
the old government, they teeL
As a result of the documentary rev
elations, many Germans are begin
ning to admit that "possibly Germany
may be partly to blame" for the war.
But even, this mild verdict In the
minds of many of-the German people
is no confession of guut; it merely
expresses the belief that the ex-kai
ser and the old regime "blundered or
stumbled" into the war.
The majority of Germans accord
lngly harbor no hard feelings toward
the ex-kaiser; the worst said about
him is that he was "too temperamen
tal," or "not clever enough to keep
out of war," or that it was "a great
misfortune for the fatherland that
there was no Bismarck at the time.
All Germans, regardless of party,
from the mildest pacifist to the un
convertible militarist, and from the
junker to spartacist, are in absolutely
unanimous agreement In telling you
that "the peace of Versailles is an
unjust peace." The favorite German
phrase is to refer to it as a "shame
ful peace," and Germans explain that
it is shameful not only for Germany
but for the authors of the treaty.
President' Is Losing Admirers.
In discussing the peace treaty with
you, no German can ever resist drag
ging In -"Wilson's 14 .points" These
have become a proverb, at least for
the present generation of Germans
All Germans are convinced that the
treaty "violates" the 14 points. Most
Germans are inclined to regard Wil
son's war speeches and 14 points as a
war ruse, to "kid the German people
into capitulation.
. A minority of Germans still credit
President Wilson with idealism and
good faith, but believe that Wilson
and America, Inexperienced in the
wiles of European diplomacy, had it
put over on them at Versailles or
were "too weak." The .earlier violent
denunciation of President Wilson has
about ceased. But Wilson has lost all
of his temporary German "admirers,
with the solitary exception of Maxi
milian Harden.
All Germans agree not only that
the peace Is "unfair and unjust," but
they are also unanimous on the prop
osition that it is "unfulflllable" and
that its terms will "never be carried
out" in full. They speak of Ger
many s signature to the " treaty as
having, been "extorted by force" or
"obtained, under duress." And for
these reasons many Germans con
sider that Germany's signature to the
treaty is not morally or legally bind
ing. Revision of Treaty Hope.
Before, even the peace treaty went
in force its revision, by hook or crook,
had been discounted by the whole
German people as a sure thing. To
seize every opportunity and, employ
every means to force a revision is
going to be a popular foreign pollcy
with the present and all succeeding
governments.
Paradoxically, while never expect
ing the treaty to be carried out In
full, Germans speak pathetically of
themselves as "a nation of slaves" or
people in. chains." "For years we
shall be condemned .to be the slaves
of the entente" is a favorite German
saying. Others again say that "for
generations Germany will bear the
yoke of entente slavery." A signifi
cant variation is German talk of
economic slavery or serfdom to "the
Anglo-Saxon' world." "We shall no
longer be masters in our own house,"
or "strangers will be masters in Ger
many" are other typical lament.
An idea which"! have heard over
and over again from all manner of
Germans, from the cop on the corner
and the clerk in the cigar store and
the captain of industry at his desk.
Is that "Germany is reduced to beg
gary," "Germany is poor, desperately
poor; . . . we are an impover
ished people; we have nothing left.
France and England Blamed.
"France and England will never let
Germany come up in the world again
if they can prevent it" is a typical
German statement. Germans, how
ever, disagree as to whether this
scheme for keeping Germany down Is
principally the work of England or
France. A majority or the uermans
are Inclined to see England as the
moving spirit in the "plot to keep
Germany from ever coming back."
The mentality of the Germans In
transition is an intimate mixture of
pessimism and optimism; The self
same Germans who show pathos about
being slaves or Irish exclaim in the
very next breath with fierce convic
tion: "A nation of 0,000,000 cannot
go under." I have also heard Ger
mans exclaim with conviction: v "A
kultur nation like Germany cannot
be kept down forever." Down In every
German heart which I have been able
to lance Is the fervent faith in the
fatherland's future. Many say that
"Germany will burst its chains some
day."
Work the Only Cure.
Most Germans agree that "the best
and only cure for Germany's present
ills Is work. "Only the most inten
sive work can save us." We must
work, work,, work." "We must starve
and work ourselves back to greatness
again" these are typical opinions
which I have heard expressed by all
classes of Germans. 1
Left, to themselves,' the Germans
would probably harbor no hard feel
ings toward anyone in the long run.
The revenge Idea would not grow if
it were not propagated by a powerful
section of the political press and by
other moulders and leaders" of public
opinion. But the seeds of revanche
have already been sown; they're al
ready sprouting. The idea will flour
ish luxuriously in the coming years.
The feeling among the German peo
ple is intensest against the French.
The traditional racial feeling against
the French has been kept from dying
down by home propaganda and by the
nationalistic press. The feeling against
the French is, in fact, stronger today
than at any time during the war; and
the indications are that the minds of
the German people will be still fur
ther inflamed by their leaders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Reviewing
"efficiencies and economies accom
plished in various phases of railroad
operation by the railroad administra
tion," W. T. Tyler, director of opera
tions, recommended in his annual re
port today to Director-General Hines
that "many effective reforms" be con
tinued after the roads are returned
to private control on March 1. His
recommendations include:
That arrangements be made to set
up, at least in skeleton form, the or.
ganization necessary to control move
ment of traffic to and via ports when
ever traffic conditions warrant by the
placing of embargoes and the issuance
of permits.
That every effort be made to con
tinue and extend the pooling of lake
and tidewater tolls, the railroads
maintaining the necessary organiza
tions to handle such traffic
. That the railroads continue to es
tablish uniformity in rules governing
car supply for various important com
modities handled.
That the campaign for more effec
tive utilization of equipment by heav
ier loading be continued.
That the co-ordination of terminals
be made a continuing policy.
That the centralized control of cars
be continued under proper limitations
and the central organizations of the
railroads themselves.
Mr. Tyler .emphasized benefits de
rived from the permit system for con
trol of freight shipments. He pointed
out the congestion which results from
indiscriminate efforts to move freight
lor which the roads have no outlet.
The remedy, he said, is the control
of this freight at its source through
the permit system to the measure of
the consignee's ability to accept, the
railroad's facilities or the port's ca
pacity. Referring to the common use of
cars, Mr. Tyler said; that was success
ful, not with reference to box and
stock, but particularly so in the case
of refrigerator1 cars, the movement oi
fruits and vegetables having increased
more than 20 per cent in 1919.
Mr. Tyler said locomotives were in
a better conditoin as a whole than
ever before during the period of heavy
Dusiness and that while they num
bered above 65,100, an adequate pro
gramme for new power should be
adopted. A comprehensive car-building
programme should also be
adopted, he said.
"The benefits from the unification'
of terminals," said Mr. Tyler, "are so
many that It is tobe hoped that there
may be serious consideration given to
each case of consolidation, unifica
tion or co-ordination before it is dis
counted." He added that 844 terminals had
been consolidated during federal con
trol.

in the country," which prompted a
response from the floor, "yes, Ferris
is running for the senate."
Taking up the attack started by the
North Carolina member. Representa
tive Flood declared It was "all right"
to talk of waiting for the national
convention, but he added that the con
vention "might get the idea we are
for training" by the silence of house
members.
Answering both these speeches Rep
resentative Caldwell declared that
every post of the American Legion
by the action today' at Indianapolis
had gone on record in favd- of uni
versal training. He urged that po
litical expediency favor a declaration
for such training, rather than stand
against it. Representatives Olney,
Massachusetts, and Fisher, Tennessee,
both members of the house military
committee, along with Mr. Caldwell,
also urged no action at present, but
the other democratic committeemen
opposed them or remained silent.

joined in the debate. Some opposition
was manifest against universal train
ing on the ground that too many
youths would be called from farm
and industrial pursuits, curtailing
production, which was said to be the
"greatest need of the country."
Discussion of universal training
was not confined to the democratic
caucus. In the senate, during the
day Senator McKellar, democrat,
Tennessee, declared that rhe systm
would open the way to a "military oli
garchy," while in a formal statement
Senator Gore, democrat, Oklahoma,
declared the training would prov
"the egg of militarism.'
In the house. Representative Kahn,
republican, made public a letter from
the army recruiting Kervlce declaring
that more than 190,000 recruits would
be needed this year to maintain the
army at Its authorized strength.
Though record votes were laKcn
in the democratic caucus, thete were
not made public. The 17, however,
who voted against declaration of the
stand of the house democrats were
