Washington.—After a brief debate
and without the formality of a record
vote, the Senate threw out two more
of the amendments written into the
Peace Treaty by the foreign relations
committee.
The two amendments had been in-
troduced by Senator Fall, Republican,
New Mexico, and had as their com-

The vote came sooner than had
been expected, the leaders agreeing
to it as part of a plan to complete
the consideration of amendments as
soon as possible so that the Senate
might get down to the real work of
drafting a ratification resolution.
Only two of the committee's forty-six
amendments now remain to be con-

to a vote early next week. They both

Debate Enlivened the Session.
Action on the two Fall amendments
came near the end of a session which
had been enlivened by a sharp de-
bate over the dispatch of American
troops to Europe for service in con-
nection with the Silesian plebiscite
and by a new move from administra-
tion quarters to meet the objections
of Irish-Americans to the league Cove-

in the formal reading of the treaty

TO DEPORT ALIEN RADICALS
Several Men Taken in Recent Raids
at Gary, Ind., Held by Au-
thorities as Anarchists.
WILSON HAS INDIGESTION
Otherwise the President's Condition Is
Unchanged and Still Satisfactory,
Hi® Physicians Announce.
Washington.—Having obtained re-
lief from the prostatic condition, which
retarded his recovery last week. Pres-
ident Wilson was the victim of slight
digestive trouble. His condition oth-
erwise throughout the day. Rear Ad-
miral Grayson, his physician, an-
nounce, was unchanged.
The President's general condition
was regarded as satisfactory. Until
midday Doctor Grayson and the phy-
sicians assisting him found in the ex-
amination of their patient every evi-
Chicago.—Edward J. Brennan, chief
of the local bureau of investigation of
the department of justice, said that
seven of the radicals arrested in the
Gard, Ind., raids will probably be de-
ported as alien anarchists.
Col. W. S. Mapes, in an official re-
port made to Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, is said to have presented doc-
umentary evidence of the connection
of radical leaders with the steel
strike in Gary and other cities.
The report is said to contain proof
of the alleged radical plot to capture
the civil government of Gary and oth-
er cities in the steel strike area.
The sensational evidence is said to
have been obtained by federal agents
in five raids made recently in which |
number of arrests were made. j
Colonel Mapes declines to discuss j
the report but, it was said that it j
might be made public later.
Military authorities and federal '
agents declared that Alexander Ivan- 1
°f^> radical leader and chemist, for- I
As the question merly employed in the Gary steel
mills and alleged maker of the May
day and Chicago postoffice bombs, is
not yet under arrest. He is being
sought as the result of information
said have been given the federal au-
thorities by Anton Gorski, who is un-
der arrest.
Convinced that Ivanoff has fled
from Gary, the federal authorities
have transferred their search for the
radical leaders to Chicago where doz-
ens of department of justice investi-
gators are reported to be following
clues.
Federal agents backed by troops re-
cently made four more raids on homes
of radical leaders in Gary in which
about twenty persons were taken in-
to custody. Six are being held while
the others were released after being
questioned. It is said that further
evidence was obtained in these raids
of the alleged plot for an uprising
of radicals in Gary although Col. W.
S. Mapes and other officials declined
to discuss the details of the informa-
tion obtained.

Washington.—The fall of Petrograd
and the occupancy of both that city
and the fortress of Kronstadt by the
i Russian anti-Bolshevik forces has
| 'seen reported officially by the general
staff of the Finnish army to the Vi
borg representative of the Northwest
Government of Russia. This informa
tion has just reached the state depart
ment.
In making public the department's
advices, Acting Secretary Phillips said
that a direct dispatch, received here
from the department's representatives
nearest the old Russian capital, report
ed that Finnish official announcement
had not been corroborated from other
sources.
Announcement Brief.
The announcement crediting the
Finnish general staff as authority
was quite brief, it came from Viborg,
and followed unconfirmed reports to
the department" through Swedish and
; Russian sources saying that Petro-
grad and Kornstadt had been wrested
from the Bcclsheviki by the beleaguer-
ing forces under General Yudenitch;
that with the fall of the fortified
Gotchina, thirty-five miles out from
Petrograd o-n the way to Berlin, the
collapse of the old capital was inevit-
able, and that the Bolsheviki were
concentrating all their troops for a
decisive struggle with General Deni-
kine's forces in the South.
London in the Dark.
London.—Up to the present hour
no news had been received which
would throw any light on the Russian
j situation, except a Helsingfors, Fin-
land, dispatch dated Saturday report-
ing that the red flag was flying over
j Kronstadt and that the batteries of
I Krasnaia Gorka had been active on
I Friday the night long,
j A Copenhagen dispatch dated Sun-
day said the report was still uncon-
firmed that the White forces had cut
communication between Reval and
Petrograd.
Washington.—Defeat of the Shan-
tung amendment to the Peace Treaty
by the United. States Senate by a vote
of 55 to 35 makes, certain that there
will be no textual amendments to the
treaty and that only reservations can
be adopted.
Fourteen Republicans, including
Senator Spencer of Missouri, refused
to support the committee proposal
to change the text of the treaty re-
storing the Shantung Province to
China instead of acquiescing in the
treaty provisions giving it to Japan.
Three Democrats—Reed of Missouri,
Gore of Oklahoma and Walsh of Mas-
sachusetts—voted with the Repub-
cans for the amendment. The Repub-
licans who voted against the amend-
ment were:
Colt, Cummins, Hale, Kellogg, Ken-
yon, Keyes, Lenroot, McCumber, Mc-
Nary, Nelson, Smoot, Spencer, Ster-
ling and Townsend.
Both Capper and Curtis of Kansas
voted for the committee amendment
on the ground that the Peace Confer-
ence had permitted an outrage to be
perpetrated on defenseless China and
that the United States should not be
made a party to it. Nearly all the
Republicans who voted against the
amendment, as well as several Demo-
crats, during the week of debate, gave
notice they would vote for a reserva-
tion expressing refusal of the United
States' assent to the Shantung set-
tlement. The reservation, however,
really accomplishes nothing except
to clear the "skirts" of the United
States of openly approving the theft.
Adoption of the amendment would
have sent the Peace Treaty back to
the other powers and put it up to them
to correct the injustice that had been
done China, an ally in the war. While
Senator Lodge after the vote, gave
notice he would next move to strike
the entire Shantung provisions from
the treaty, the vote, of course, means
defeat of that motion.
The Shantung amendment has been
one of the two big turning points in
the treaty fight. It involved the plain
moral question of whether the United
States was going to become a party
to the "rape of Shantung," as it is
generally designated.

Teddy Told Him.
When Theodore Roosevelt was pres-
ident a man visited him who had a re-
quest to make. In his arras he carried
u bundle of letters of introduction. He
stated his request and closed his ar-
gument with these words:
"Mr. President, I am sure that If you
do this for me you will please the peo-
ple of ray state. In fact, I could have
brought with me a thousand letters
more asking you to do it."
"Oh, pshaw," was Roosevelt's blunt
reply, "I could get a thousand people
in your state to sign a petition to have
you hanged."

Washington.—Activities of radical
aliens in the United States received
further attention recently in Con-

Several bills having for their pur-
pose deportation of foreign agitators
and aliens who fail to become citizens
and Americanization of foreigners
now in the country, were offered in
the Senate and House, while the lat-
ter passed legislation extending war-
time passport restrictions for one
year. This bill, recommended by the
state department, and designed to
keep dangerous aliens out of the
country, now goes to the Senate.
Hearings on appropriations for nat-
uralization work were continued be-
fore the House immigration commit-
tee. Raymond F. Crist, deputy com-
missioner of naturalization, told the
committee 11,000,000 foreign born per-
sons in the country were not citizens
and that the presence of such a "large
undigested population" created "an
alarming situation."

Washington. — The Senate has
adopted a resolution offered by Sena-
tor Owen of Oklahoma, directing the
committee on agriculture to make an
investigation of the embargo on
wheat exports ordered by the United
States Grain Corporation.
Senator Owen and Senator Gronna,
chairman of the committee on agricul-
ture, take the position that the em-
bargo has been laid in such a manner
as to work injury to farmers and
benefit to the wheat speculators.
They declare that the Grain Corpor-
ation, headed by Julius Barnes, has
acted in opposition to the protests
of the wheat farmers.
Senator Gronna said -that Mr.
Barnes would be summoned before
the committee and that his admini-
stration, especially in the last year,
carefully investigated. He charged
that Mr. Barnes kept the embargo
on wheat while the farmers were sell-
in wheat and that when it was stored
in elevators the ban was lifted. He
expressed the fear that this policy
would result in lack of production
next year and declared it "an injus-
tice and a blunder."

WON'T OPERATE ON WILSON
President's Physicians Report Prosta-
tic Condition to Be Greatly Im-
proved—Had Retarded Recovery.
Washington.—Definite improvement
in President Wilson's condition was
noted in a late bulletin issued from
the White House by Rear Admiral
Grayson and the four physicians called
in for consultation. The prostatic
condition was said to be greatly im-
proved and no operation will be neces-
sary.
The swelling of the prostate gland,
a recurrence of which served to re-
tard the President's recovery, was said
to have been relieved so much that a
simplified form of treatment could
now be instituted. The general con-
dition of the President, it was said,
remains good
Although no operation was regarded
necessary at this time by the physi-
cians called in for consultation. Doc-
tor Grayson requested Doctor Young
and the other physicians to meet him
the other day to continue the study
of the case. Doctor Young returned
to the White House, observed the pa-
tient again and had a long converse- .
tion with Dr. Grayson.
