CUMMNGS
Use of Treaty "Without Ac
cepting It" Decried.
REPUBLICANS PLAN MOVE
Effort to Be Made to Get Resolu
tion Declaring War Knded to
: Vote "ext Friday.
"WASHINGTON; April 1. Republic
an leaders in the house completed
today their plans to put through a
week from tomorrow a resolution de
claring? the state of war with Ger
many at an end. The measure was
favorably reported today by the for
eign affairs committee and will be
taken up next Thursday under a nine
hour debate rule which will bring the
vote on Friday.
Action of the republicans drew the
fire tonight of Homer S. Curamlngs,
chairman of the democratic national
committee. In a statement to press
representatives, he said it marked
about the lowest point of moral capa
city to which republican leadership
has descended."
It was an attempt, he added, to use
the treaty of Versailles "without first
accepting it," and could and probably
would lead to international complica
tions, "the seriousness of which it is
difficult at this time to conjecture."
The resolution was reported on a
strict party vote by the committee.
Representative I-Iuddleston, democrat,
Alabama, refused to vote but his col
leagues opposed the report.
V-lo All But Certain.
Republican leaders had no doubt
that it would be adopted, although the
democrats ,were lining up again it,
but were not equally confident that
the necessary two-thirds to carry it
over a presidential veto could be ob
tained. Mr. Cummings said he did not think
"for one moment that the president
would sign such a resolution." He
Bald the house was attempting to ex
ercise powers It did not possess.
Mr. Cummings indicated that the
democratic leaders expected to have
the aid of the president in the coming
campaign.
"I hope the president will be able
to participate actively in the cam
paign," he said. "He is Improved in
health and while he may not be able
to take the stump, he can still write
and he can always; be heard through
his writings."
Hoover Problrm Touched
He said he had not discussed this
phase lately with the president, but
that he had had "little difficulty in
ascertaining the president's opinion
on questions which I deem crucial."
Asked for the democratic view of
announcement of Herbert Hoover as
a candidate for the republican nomi
nation for president, Mr. Cummings
aid:
"It is always1 a had thing to see
an essential democrat attempt to
liberalize a standpat party. Suppose
we let that 6tand."
Mr. Cummings said he assumed
that the question of a more liberal
construction of the Volstead prohibi
tion enforcement act would be "be
fore hte San Francisco convention
and also the Chicago convention."
"Wartime Powers Repealed.
Republican leaders today said the
snore important wartime acts and
powers which would be repealed auto
roatically with adoption of the reso
lution included:
Wartime prohibition; Iever food
and fuel control law with provisions
against profiteering; espionage act;
selective service law; authorization
for loans of J10, 000,000, 000 to alliee;
complete control over all shippings
authorization for president to use
armed forces to prevent interference
with interstate or foreign commerce

shipments; authorization of an em

control over patents; war housing
act; a moratorium protecting civil
rights of men while in the service
and authorization of an embargo on

BUENOS AIRES, April 1. The
United States government in its re
cent note to Chile asking that country

The United States has not thought

fording, in case all the parties inter

good offices and mediation of the

NAVAL INERTIA CHARGED
PACIFIC- ADMIKAL SAYS iXEET

Only Sympathy Received, Declares
Full am. Was .From Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON, April L Charge
that the navy department had made
no effort from 1915 to 1917 to pre
pare ships ' oi the Pacific fleet f o
war. were made before the senate
naval investigation committee today
by Rear-Admiral William F. Fullam
.who commanded that force and di
rected all allied naval operations In
Pacific waters during the war.
Armored cruisers in reserve on the
Pacific coast were not made ready,
tne orricer asserted, despite his re
peatea recommendations and it was
only by utilizing naval apprentices
at training schools that he was able
before the war to get the vessels
away from the docks for short train
ins cruises. Even after the outbrea
of war in Europe, he said, the depart
merit was "indifferent" to the rec
ommendatlons of senior officers that
steps be, taken to prepare.
The admiral testified that it was
only by sending letters and outlines
of plans and policies direct to As
slstant Secretary Roosevelt that
aympatheue attitude could be ob
tained for preparedness measures.
The committee adjourned until Mon
day when Admiral Hugh Rodman
commander-in-chief of the Pacific
fleet, probably will testify.

MONTE CARLO, April 1. Nowhere
did the French railroad strike create
such a panic as among the sun and
roulette devotees along the Riviera.
The line to Paris was more completely
blocked than any other in France, and
upward of 60,000 English visitors, a
large proportion of them due home
immediately, were left stranded.
The Principality of Monaco was pal
pitating under the strain of a suc
cession of the most catastrophic ru
mors; the establishing of a soviet in
Paris being among the least disturb
ing. These canards, bred in the ho
tels, were rapidly distributed among
the visitors through the Sporting
club, a "regular clearing house for per
sonal and general gossip of the whole
littoral. It may always be accepted
at a discount of 95 per-cent.
Several English ladles of title con
ceived the bright idea of asking
"Jacky" Fisher, who is staying at the
Metropole with the Duchess of Hamil
ton and a bevy of other ladies, to
cable the British admiralty to detach
a dreadnought from the Mediter
ranean fleet to take the socially elect
among them home by sea. It never
occurred to them that if the govern
ment obliged the gamblers of Mone
Carlo at the cost of the British tax
payer it would be out of office in 24
hours.
Ladle Greatly Dlaappolated.
When they were advised of this the
ladies were very much disappointed
and quite unconvinced. They thought
tne value or tneir Jewels alone en
titled them to the special considera
tion of their government.
Then they appealed to the Waeon-
Lit company to provide a special
sleeper train for them, offering double
or even treble the ordinarv fare.
When this project became known the
supposedly fortunate ones who had
secured berths were offered twice and
three times what they had promised.
tsut tne wagon-Lit company could
not agree to favor the few at the cost
of the many in these uncertain times,
and in any case the railroad men
when they went on strike had thor
oughly sabotaged the big engines by
removing their vital parts.
Huge prices were given for motor
cars, and the Rolls Royce that Regi
nald jyictienna, rormer chancellor of
the exchequer, now chairman of the
London City and Midland bank, hired
to take him to Paris for an important
meeting of his bank in London, cost
him very nearly 600 (normally $3000)
the price of a good car before the
war. Fabulous prices had to be naid
for petrol en route, and the damage
to the body work of the cars from the
atrociously bad state of the main
roads had also to be compensated by
mm.
But the tables were going on mer
rily as ever throughout the panic. In
fact, the gambling seemed faster and
more furious than ordinarily. The
marooned pleasure seekers seemed to
seek distraction from their troubles in
piling up their contributions to the
Casino in all its branches.
Amazing Show at Sporting; Clob.
The scene in the Sporting club of
nights, was an amazing show of the
most extreme fashions and the daz-

The array of bare backs "Lo, and be
hold!" In the current slang became
quite monotonous. One rapid French
girl titillated the jaded interest by
having two hearts . transfixed by an
arrow tatooed on her left shoulder
blade in Jade green.
One of the most beautiful and cer
tainly the most dignified without a
trace of artificial aid' In the whole
galaxy was Donna Elsa Torlonla, net
Moore, of New York.
Mrs. Langtry was there, quite a
wonder of defeated age, her figure
the envy of many women half her
years showing a back as generous as
most.
Mme. Melba, too, looking very black
and wearing stunning diamonds, was
in the crowd, but never gambled.
Toung Robert Peel, the son of the
Baronet and great-grand-son of Eng
land's famous premier, here with his
bride (Beatrice Lillie, from the
Gaiety), was a center of interest, his
play being quite sensational. At one,
time winning a series of maximums
at roulette eight his lucky number
he was said to have been 150,000
francs (normally $30,000) up on the
tables, but as he continued playing
instead of sticking to his winnings it
is to be feared he went the way of
all players who follow this suicidal
policy.
One French lady won 190,000 francs

seek to master its incalculable vagaries.

makes a lot .of difference at the
tables. The dull clatter of the cellu
loid that greets the ear instead of the
clear ring of the precious metal
symbolizes the flatness that despite
the display of wealth pervades the
whole place. Only the natural beau
ties of the surroundings retain their
old charm.
Aside from the excitement of the
tables the conversation is full of fore
boding as to what a desperate pass
