Washington, Nov. 156.---Rejection {of the Peace Treaty by the Senpte, or by President Wilson himself, is assured, if the resolution of ratifica- { tion goes to a voté containing the | reservation to Article X already ad- opted by the Senate, sitting in com- | mittee of the whole. This was the opinion in Adminis- tration quarters here yesterday, bas- { ed on the Presidéent's own words; fre- quently reiterated during his recent {tour of the United States. | Whether the President then will | carry out his threat, to send leading | Treaty opponents, including. Sena- | tor Lodge, to Weimar to negotiate a | new Treaty, remains to be seen. Mr. 'Wilson has served notice that { he weuld consider the adoption of i the reservation to Article X the re- Jection of the whole treaty. There is | nothing to indicate that he has changed this attitude. When Senator Hitchcock recently | called at the White House, Wiliam, {told him the treaty would be unac- ceptable if certain of the pending re- { servations were attached to it, and | although Hitchcock never has speci- fied what these "certdin reserva- tions" were, it is generally known bere that the qualification of Arti- cle X is one of them.

Viennese Babies Die From Lack of Warmth, Berne, Nov. sion just returned from Vienna, de-| clares that the death rate of new | born infants there is becoming dis- tressing even in the maternity hos- pitals, and that the main cause is the coal shortage. Mothers during confinement shiver and their teeth chatter from cold, and the babies born, die of bronchi catareh, orin- flammation of the ho the much too low temperatures of hospitals and houses. Frequently the mothers die at the same time as the infants, and this again is mainly dug to the Tack of warmth. New born infants cannot be washed ex- cept at the risk of their lives, owing to the low temperature. The Ameri- can commission for saving children Is trying to cope with the disaster, and some coal which Germany should have sent to France is being now diverted to Vienna. Owing to the appalling conditions of life, many Viennese are betoming demented. BAKERS CLOSE STORES.
