S. Withdrawal Makes New Alliance "Crying Necessity," Says French Paper Paris, Dec. 4. America's apparent 'determination to withdraw from European affairs has made a quadruple alliance between France, Great Britain, Belgium and Italy a "crying necessity," LAvenlr declared today. Such an alliance, the newspaper said, would be "sufficiently large to check both Teutonlo fury and Russian anarchy." Failure of the American Senate to ratify the peace treaty, combined with the announcement that the American peace conference delegation, headed by Frank Polk, will return home next week, was interpreted here as indicating the permanent withdrawal of the United States from European affairs.

The American actions also were blamed for Germany's apparent attempt to secure mitigation In the terms of the Versailles treaty.

Including Senator Hitchcock, offered this explanation of Wilson's statement to Hitchcock at the White House yesterday, when he said he would let responsibility for the treaty rest on "other shoulders" for awhile.

When Senator Lodge was told of this Interpretation of Wilson's attitude, he asserted that so far as he is concerned, the treaty never will be revived. One of the chief reasons for today's conference of Republican members of the Foreign Relations Committee, aside from Mexico, it was disclosed, was to "And some way of preventing members of the Republican National Committee, who favor the League of Nations and ratification of the treaty, from making pro-League speeehee at th National Committee's meeting which begins here next Wednesday. Senator Braridegee. who brought up this matter, said that some National Committeemen might complicate the situation If they were allowed to speak uneensored. It was suggested that all speeches before the committee be censored, but this was rejected.

After much discussion it was agreed to suggest to officials of the National Committee that they try to have the Leagrue question kept in the background as much as possible, or at least prevent it becoming the subject of controversy.

HtXHT WOOD Paris, Dec must sign the protocol to ths peace treaty within six days or submit to another occupa tion of her territory by Allied armies, it was believed here tonight Ths Supreme Council of the Peace Conference agreed unanimously today on the text of a note which was understood to be virtually an ultimatum to Germany. The note was in reply to the latest communication from Baron KUrt ton Lersner, head of the German mission now in, Paris to negotiate with the Allies upon terms for making effective the peace treaty. It will be delivered to von Lersper personally by Paul Dutasta, secretary- of the Peace Conference. At the end of a day filled with the most far-reaching potentialities, these developments stood forth: Marshal Foch, following a confer ence with Field Marshal Wilson, of Great Britain, had prepared plans for military advance into Germany. The plans were understod to include a triple Invasion by British, Belgian, French, and possibly American troops.

The French government was re ported to be considering mobilization of Its aviation sections, and the younger classes of demobilized infantry. Field Marshal French was reported to have offered the co-operattoo of ine ariusn neet the advance is un dertaken. The Matin reported movement of or me Kntne, declaring numerous guns already had crossed the Kehl Bridge. There was a decided tendency In both London and Paris to blame part of Germany's belligerent attitude upon the failure of the United States Son-ate to accept the Peace Treaty. The Senate's action.

In the opinion of many, has led Germany to believe she may be able to secure moderation of the admittedly harsh terms. In Washington the American State Department announced there were 12,000 Yankee doughboys along the Rhine. Berlin saw a possible readjustment of the German Cabinet if the Allies insist upon what the Germans call the "outrageous" terms of the protocol. Foreign Minister Mueller, it was reported, never will agree to surrender the Scapa Flow fleet. With all these preparations under way there was a tendency among many sobef statesmen to believe Germany will accede to tha Allies' demands.

The three officials, however, are fearful lest the deter mined stand so, far maintained by the Government not to give In to the strik ers may be rendered less effective by efforts of some State Governors. Administration officials are reported to be looking askance at Governor Cox, of Ohio, who at a conference of miners and operators is said to have suggested settlement that would be a compromise between the 14 per cent, advance stiegested by Garfield and the SI per cent, proposal of Secretary Wilson. Administration officials fear tnls will be taken by the miners as en-1 couragement of their claim that thes' are entitled to an Increase of moe than '14 per cent." Governor Lowden, of HHnois, also caused anxiety here through the report he had emphasised that untrained men can not mine coal: in quantities despite the success of volunteers in. Kansas.

Officials here in charge of the situation are understood to have quietly passed the word to Governors of all coal producing States to be careful not to take any action that might encourage the miners in their refusal to return to work.

This would insure defeat of the measure In committee. The attitude of these Republicans caused adjournment of a conference of Republican committee members today, without decision as to their course when the whole committee meets Mon-JV Senator Borah, speaking- for those who took this stand, said that he desires to co-operate with Wilson, and not- to Interfere with him. "I took the position," said Borah, "that pasage of the resolution would serve no useful purpose. Handling the Mexican question is an executive function. Congress has no power to act unless asked to do so.

"Some of us wished to hold our Judgment In abeyance until we have read the President's promised statement of his views. While Wilson's opinions will not necessarily control the committee's action, some of us thought It would be unwise to arrlvo at a decision-, without hearing the Prosldant."
