Treaty of Versailles Fails Ratification. Washington, March 19. Treaty of Versailles failed of ra cation for the fourth time ton and then the senate voted to ser back to President. Wilson wit notification that it had finally fused to advise and consent tc ratification." On the decisive roll call the 1 was 49 for ratification to 35 agai the opposition numbering in its ra 20 Democrats who were unwilling see the treaty go through with Republican reservations objected the president and three Democr and 12 Republican irreconcilab Twenty-one Democrats quit the p ident's lead and voted for ratif tion but the defection failed by se votes of providing the two-thirds quisite to ratify. The result was regarded eve where at the capitol as having over into the political campaign decision the long and bitter fight tween the chief executive and senate majority. A move to recon: er the vote and try once more to r? fy collapsed in its inception, lead on both sides agreeing that furt ratification efforts would he a wa of time as long as the senate mc bership remains as it is. Whether the president would turn the treaty to the senate rema -ed undetermined but the Repul -cans served notice that if he did would repose for many weeks .come in a committee pigeon hole, the vote of 49 to 35 by which the si ate washed its hands of the subji and sent the treaty to the Wh House, the Republican leaders I the support of the mild reservat? ists as well as the irreconcilables their party, while the Democrats v .ed almost solidly in opposition. Another Fight Coming. The next step planned by the s( ate majority is a declaration of state of peace to relieve the nati of the war status which the Den crats maintain can be ended only the treaty's ratification. A fight that proposal probably will beg when the senate reconvenes Mond? The roll call on ratification cai four months, almost to the hour,, i ter the failure of the three attemi at ratification on November 19. ( that occasion the greatest streng developed for ratification with t Republican reservations was 41 vot only seven Democrats voting with t Republicans in the affirmative. T "vote again was 51, made up of '. Republicans and 38 Democrats. T night's call follows: For the reservation: Republicans Ball, Calder, Capper, Colt, Curt Dillingham, Edge, Elkins, Frelin huysen, Hale, Jones of W?shi?gto Kellogg, Kenyon, Keyes, Leiiroc Lodge, McLean, McNary, New, Pag Phipps, Smoot, Spencer, Sterlin Sutherland, Wadsworth, Warre Watson and Wolcott-29.

South Carolina, Stan ley, Swanson, Thomas, Underwood and Williams-23. Total against-35. Seven Hours of Debate. In seven hours of debate preced ing the vote, Republican leaders de dared themselves ready to take th< issue to the people. From the Demo eratic side several senators bitterly assailed the president for his stanc and declared the administratior could not afford to carry the issue a: it presented itself today in the cam paign. There was no reply from those who opposed ratification. Irreconcil ables and administration Democrats alike remained silent in the confi dence that they were in control oi the situation. After the roll call the mild reserva tion Republicans joined with the Democrats to set the parliamentary stage for a reconsideration that would permit another vote on ratifi cation, but the effort soon was aban doned. Compromise Democrats advis ed the Republicans that they thought it futile to try to change seven more Democratic votes. The motion to re consider, made by Senator Robinson, Democrat of Arkansas, finally was thrown out on a point of order and no appeal was taken. The lineup of the entire senate to day was 57 for ratification to 39 'against, including members paired. ?Four months ago the total alignment 'was 42 for ratification and 53 against with one seat vacant. Eighteen Democrats today chang ed from their position of November 119. Seventeen who then voted against ratification favored it today, while one, Senator Shields, of Tennessee, j who voted for ratification November ?19, and since has become known as jan "irreconcilable," today voted against ratifying. Of the Democrats who switched to support the treaty, 15 voted for rat ification and two additional, Sena tors Gerry of Rhode Island and Jones of New Mexico paired for rat ification. The 15 were: Ashurst, Beckham, Chamberlain, Fletcher, I Henderson, Kendrick, King, Nugent, Phelan, Pittman, Ransdell, Smith of Maryland, Tammell, Walsh of Mon tana and Wolcott. "Bitter Enders" Remain. In the Republican ranks the "irre concilables" gained but one new ad herent, Senator Penrose of Pennsyl vania, who voted for ratification four months ago but today was paired as an opponent of the treaty. Twelve Republican "bitter enders"-Borah, Brandegee, Fernald, France, Gronna, Johnson (California), Knox, La Follette, McCormick, Moses, Norris, and Sherman-voted today as they did four months ago, against ratifi cation, while three others, Penrose, (Fall, (New Mexico) and Poindexter, .were paired today in opposition. On November 19, Senator Poindexter voted in opposition, while Senator Fall was not present, but his oppo sition was announced. In sending the treaty back to the president the senate acted on the mo tion of Senator Lodge of Massachu setts, the Republican leader, who de clared that to bring the question of ratification 'before the senate would be a waste of time and delay public business. The Democratic leader, Hitchcock, pleaded that the action be 'withheld ,for a few days "because there always is a chance of action." He added that if a reasonable delay brought no prospect of ratification, the move of the Republican leader 'might be concurred in with virtual j unanimity. Senator Hitchcock also objected to a request by Senator Lodge for unanimous consent to take 'another vote on ratification tonight, made after Senator Robinson's re consideration motion had been ruled 'out. Just before the senate adjourned Senator Knox moved to take up his resolution declaring a state of peace. The attempt will be renewed Monday under present plans, and the Repub lican leaders expect the resolution, 'or some similar measureto De adopt ed. President Wilson has Indicated his opposition to such a course, how 'ever, and should he veto a peace de 1 clafHfcion the leaders are uncertain j whether tit?y could muster the neces sary two-thirds of both senate and j house to repass it. The Knox resolu tion introduced in December provides for repeal of the declaration of war, for retention of certain concessions granted by Germany in signing the I peace treaty and for a declaration of the hope of congress that some tribunal may be created to adjust in ternal disputes.

CLEMSON STUDENTS AGREE TO RETURN (Continued from page Two) mittedly false. With the softening qualifications put in the resolution was adopted. The statement the stu dents will be required to sign reads thus: Oath to Be Taken. "I hereby affirm that distinctly and positively I denounce any deliberate intention to defy the college authori ties or to rebel against its rules and regulations by my conduct of March 10, and I subscribe anew to the pledge given upon my former en trance into the college, to obey and abide by its rules and 'regulations." Throughout the afternoon there was much consideration of the vari ous complaints and grievances thus brought forward and consideration of the military regulations to enforce discipline. At the outset J. A. Banks, state senator of Calhoun county, caution ed action with deliberation, as the movement was fraught with such grave possibilities for the future of the college and the educational wel fare of the state. Prof. S. B. Earle, who has been at Clemson 18 years at the head of the engineering department and acting president while President Riggs was abroad, said everybody at the college, faculty and. students, were bound under certain regulations. He wanted the boys to return. He invited full in vestigation, but investigation could only be made where all sides could be heard and full facts presented. Pres ident Riggs had asked that the offices of the president be investigated, and Commandant J. M. Cummings had made a similar request. This would be done at the April meeting of the board. Defends Dr. Riggs. Commandant Cummings occasion ally took the floor to correct any mis conception as to the military regula tions. He also vigorously defended President Riggs against criticism which had occasionally crept into the discussions. The commandant had worked with President Riggs four years prior to the war and has been at Clemson the last session, and the commandant had never come in con tact with a more zealous and devoted man to an institution. The rules and regulations were specific and the au thorities at all times were conscien tious in their efforts to apply them with justice. D. W. Robinson of Columbia sharp ly criticised the institution's authori ties, saying the two main troubles at Clemson were that the food with which the boys were being fed was not fit for swine, ?nd a lack of re spect on th? part of the boya for the president. Mr. Robinson ?sk?Y Stu dent G&fkin if he know boya who had .respect for President Riggs. "No sir," was Gaskin'a reply. Mr. Robinson lat er called on any student to stand up who had any respect for the presi dent, but none stood up. Dr. Summers who was one of the parents who called the meeting, urg ed the boys to go back, assuring them that the parents thoroughly sympa thized with the view the boys had taken of the matter and that this ac tion was only the beginning of the in terest the parents of the boys would take in the affairs of the institution. The resolution was prepared by Dr. Summers, Senator Banks and Mr. Derham. A. C. Summers of Columbia served as secretary of the meeting.

Upon These Arguments We YOU, the buyers, are the real builders of wagons. You put the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con struction when you buy a wagon containing them-and refuse to buy a wagon that docs not. We want to show you how the Thornhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts we are willing to rest our case. We believe the Thornhill way would be your way if you should build a wagon. - For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory is used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred. This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice the strength of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions. Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. Th? aap dries in it, giving it a strength that's kin to steel Full Circle Iron Malleable Front Houn Plate Trussed Bolsters and Gears Long Wear Beds Bolsters Cant -ians bi Turning In turning and backing up, with the ordi nary circle iron, which is only a half circle, olsters run off the end of the track and iiang. It is difficult to make short turns and back up. The Thornhill full circle iron gives a continuous track on wliich the bol sters can turn. The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for life. Instead of the usual front hound plate, a hound plate of malleable ii on is used. It is a metal jacket braced at eight pc' .s that keeps gears from eyer getting out of linc. Note the Adjustable Broke Lever On the front bolsters of ThornhiH wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom-connected by rivets that run clear through the bolster. Strength and lightness are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are braces on both top and bottom that extend the full length of the # bounds. Solid tnist bars extend thc full length of thc ' axles givmg them double strength. If you examine the beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will see at once the superiority of the construction. The bottoms are rc-iaforced over front and rear bolsters. Come in and examine this wagon for yourself. We will take pleasure and pride in showing you a Thornhill-The wagon made of tough highland oak and hickory-with features ail others lack. [610-Nl BETTIS CANTELOU
