GERMAN-AMERICAN PEACE.
VERSAILLES OBLIGATIONS. REFUSAL TO DISHONOUR THEM (Received lo.ao n.m.) NEW YORK, October 10. The Senatp. by 71 votes to 7, rejected Senator Reed's amendment to the German Peace Treaty, which would make it clear that the United States would be free from all obligations under the Versailles Treaty. The New York "Times'' Washington correspondent states that ratification of the treaties with the Central Powers was due to Democratic support, without which tlie Republicans would not have been able to secure the requisite twothirds majority. Fourteen Democrats, including the leader (Mr. TV. 0. Underwood), voted for ratification. Mr. Wilson's followers and others who favour the Versailles Treaty and the League fought a losing battle to the end. 'An amendment by Senator King, substituting the Versailles Treaty and the I-ea<nie, vrith the Lodge reservations, was tabled: iuid another by Senator Reed sought to amend the treaty by eliminating all reference to the Versailles pact. All the amendments failed. (A. and X.Z. Cable.)
