The' Democratic leaders 'are apparently not hopeful of the Peace Treaty passing. ...

• Senator'. Cummins, ilepubliean, speaking during the Senate debate, said that when President .Wilson ended his work in . Paris the United States remained T-ithont a friend-in Europe, Asia, ,or Africa. America's brilliant war service was-forgotten;-in the storm of protests which overtook President AVilson as - he sailed homeward-. ■ Once die war had ended, the United States ought to have made-her exit as: speedily as possible.
