BRITAIN TO WAIT ON
AMERICAN ACTION
Agreement With France
Valid When u. S. Ratifies.

PARIS, July Premier Clemenceau,
in introducing the new treaties with
Great Britain and the United States in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, said,
tDcording TO the journal Ofiioiel to-
day:
Il have the honor to introduce in my
name and in the name OF NJ. Pichon
1.-THE Foreign Minister) and NJ. Leygued
(the Minister OF Marine) a bill TO ap-
prove treaties concluded at Versailles
on June IS between France and the
United States and between France and
Great Britain concerning aid to be
given France in case of non-justified
German aggression. :"
The Premier was interrupted by the
Socialist Jean Bon. who, shouting, de-
clared that the bill, according to tho
constitution, should be a message from
the President. Bon Was called IN order
by President Dcschanel of the Chamber
and the Premier proceeded with his
speech.
The agreements between France and
the United States and between France
and Great Britain for the defence OF
France against attack by Germany, It is
understood. will not become valid as
far as Great Britain Is concerned until
the Franco-American convention Is
ratified by the United States Senate
Must Preserve High Repute.
Hope that France and the United
States will continue to work closely to-
gether in the future Is expressed by
Georges Lechartier, in the PETE ParIstun.
in an article reviewing the part played
by the United States and President
Wilson in the peace negotiations.
France. he says. must preserve and de-
velop into action the high opinion of
France held in America. lie adds:
THE formal declaration OF May in
which President Wilson promised to pro-
pose TO the American Senate n treaty
by which the United States would agree
to give immediate assistance to France
in case Germany attacked her without
provocation, thus merely Fastening ac-
tiOn to which they might be compelled
bSN the covenant of the League OF Ma
tons, could not but fail to please us
1t does not appear that the prestige Of
the American President has been az
fected in the least by his course in the
peace negotiations; it depends upon the
debates about 70 begis in Washington
whether the prestige OF America SHALL
be stil greater,
"Henceforth. America Is imbedded in
the great affairs OF Europe and Of the
world. Europe, too, and France in
particular. has its duties toward Amer
lea after the Incompatible services OF
our friends beyond the seas who res
oued us. We must show ourselves
worthy Of this magnanlmous sacrifice."

CAPT. COOPER
 FLIGHT LEADER GETS DECORATION

Lemberg, GaHcia, Tuesday. Nov. Il (By The Associated Press Service)- Captain Merton c. Cooper of Jack sonville, Fla, flight leader of the Kos ciusko Flying Squadron made up of American flyers, received the Orleta, or little eagle, of Poland today, this being the first time war decoration has been awarded a foreign officer by the young Polish republic.
 The Orleta is given only to those who served in the campaign in east ern Galicia last winter and sprnig. Captain Cooper. who was then with the American relief administration, earned the decoration by bringing up food supplies to Lenberg under fire and remaining in the city in charge of relief measures for four m months, during which time Lemberg was be- seiged by Ukranian forces. After the demobilization of the relief organiza- tion, Captain Cooper, with Major Fauntleroy organized the Kosciusk o Squadron of American pilots, which is now operating on the Bolsheviki front in the Ukraine.

CHILE IS BACK
 IN MARKET FOR
 NITRATE TRADE

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 19.-(By The Associated Press). - Prosperity is coming back to Chile already as a re- suit of the first shipments of part of the 500,0O0 tons of nitrate sold to English buyers by the committee formed in London by the Nitrate Producers Association. It will all be delivered within the months of No- vember and March and virtually places the control of the nitrate trade for the time being in the hands of Great Britain. British ships are carrying the fertilizer.
 Export duties on nitrate form the main source of the states revenues and the present fiscal year had shown a heavy deficit on account of the curtailment of nitrate sales. The pres ent undertaking. however, has had a tonic effect on exchange which, at this writing, has gone up almost two points. Likewise, all stocks related to nitrate also have risen.
 Unrest in Chile, due toe the high cost of living and the desire of labor for better working conditions. took the form early in September of a small strike among the brewery hands which later called out various other trades in sympathy. The gen. eral strike lasted five days and troops were called out in some instances to handle trains, street cars, run bak- cries and protect non-union men who continued at work.
 Two days after the general walk out, however. the executive commit tee of the Labor Federation placed their dispute in the hands of the gov ernment, declaring thate "patriotism impeIled them not to hinder the pro-

 The New York club was officially awarded third place at a recent spe- cial meeting of the directors and a resolution was adopted authorizing the National Commission to pay the Yankees their share of the series pro- ceeds.
