No Senate Committee at Peace Table.
By unanimous vote the senate foreign
relations committee disapproved the
resolution of Senator Cummins, of
lowa, proposing to send a senate com
mittee to Paris for the peacc con
ference.
Various reasons were assigned by
members for opposition to the Cum
tnlns plan, which provided ®ia.t four
democratic and fojir republican sena
tors should go to Paris, not as peace
delegates, but to keep tl^e senate in
formed. Some members, republicans
as well as democrats, thought such a
step would 'be undignified. It was con
tended that the sending of a committee
might interfere with the American
delegation's action, would give the
senate no more information than it
might otherwise attain, and mteht em
barrass rncjnbens of the senate when
the pcace treaty comes before the
senate for ratification.
When Chairman Hitchcock presented
the report Senator Cummins asked that
the matter go to the calendar for future
consideration.

Helgoland—Profiteers in Parie Reap

London, Dec. 5.—The British naval
authorities have doclded that It will be
unnecessary to demand the return of
Helgoland to Great Britain from Ger
many, Winston Spencer Clnrchlll, the
minister of munitions, announced In a
speech at l^undce last nig-ht.
Mr. Churchill also said the govern

tion of the railways.
"We enter the peace conference."
said Mr. ChUTChill during the course of
his address, "with the absolute deter
mination that no limitation shall be
Imposed on our right to maintain our
naval defense.
"We do not Intend, no matter what
arguments and appeals are addressed
to us. to lend ourselves in amy way to
fettering restrictions which will pre
vent the Brltlah navy maintaining Its
well-tried and well-deserved supre

,! WilaM Knows British Views.
$he substance of the discuaftans in
London early this week between, the
representatives of Great Britain,
France and Italy, with regard to the
peace conference, Jrere eaWed to the
American government and it is be
lieved the messages reached President
Wilson before he sailed.
Reuters eoys Jt believes President
Wilson's qidvisors are likely to coincide
with the views of the president him
self in regard to the disposition of
William Hohenzoilern. Responsible
opinion hold£ that the ex-«mperor and
{tht,r persons guilty of lireachcs of
International law during the progress
Of the war should be dealt with by a
tribunal of the associated governments
including representatives of the coun
tries which suffered most.
Can't Surrender Airplanes.
There will be no formal surrender
p.f German airplanes, as was at one
time expected, because it has been
found impracticable to assemble 2,000
airplanes at one place and It Is doubt
ful whether Germany has a sufficient
nupiber of reliable pilots for that pur
pofce, Hefeoe tho first surrender in his
tory Is being effected piecemeal. The
Germans am shedding their wings in
