pleads For Closer Alliance With
America.

Paris, Sept. 4.-Debate in the cham
Der OF deputies on the ratification of
the treaty OF pehcea was marked by
personal attacks today when Franklin
Bouillon declared that he would vote
against the treaty and held Premier
Clemenceau personally responsible for
the failure to obtain better guaran-
tees in the treaty.
1T was d grave error" he said, "to
accept President Wilson's fourteen
points unrescrvedly and without dis
cussion. The British were careful not
TO take exception TO the single point
dealing with the freedom of the seas,
and Great Britain, Japan and America
received everything they asked for"
Serbia Baiks at Treaty.
Serbia seems likely to adopt the
the peace treaty. says the Petit
Parisian, according to advices from
Belgrade.
The Belgrade government feels 1t

Pleads For Closer Alliance.
Commenting on the departure Of
General Pershing for the United States
the Temps said today:
"The allies passed thru n great
moral crisis in 1917. In the mean
time America had created an army
from nothing. In 1918 1t was due to
this immense reserve of men that
Marshal Foch was able to apply that
strategy which gained the war. Then

soldiers departed, still without thought
Of conquest
Then turning to the future, the
paper lays down as two fundamental
truths: That France can not retain
her independence and regain her pros
perity and that she can exercise a
world policy only by being closely
bound to the United States.
"The United States, on the other
hand. can not safeguard her rights in
the world IL she remains a stranger IN
European affairs. She can not exer-
else a European policy without being
associated with the French"
The article concludes with n demand
for fuller information for the French
of American affairs and proposes that
bureaus be established in Paris and
New York to give out Information.
Paul Mistral. minority socialist. dur
ing the debate in the chamber OF
deputies this afternoon on ratification
of the peace treaty with Germany. de-
clared that he and his party of about
thirty members would vote
against ratification Of the treaty.
Austria Wants More Time.
The Austrian delegation has
asked the peace conference to extend
the time allowed for an answer tc the
terms OF peace by two days. II Is
probable the conference will grant
this request. The answer. according
to the covering letter, was to be in
the hands OF the conference on Sept Z,
but II the request is granted the
answer will not be required before
Tuesday of next week.
The supreme council of the peace
inference has decided to grant the
request OF the Austrian peace delega-

RATIFICATION WITH
SEVERAL, CHANGES
Committee Report Will Soon Be On
Floor Of Senate For 0sbats-Further
Speeehmaking TO Await Final Report
Of Foreign Relations Committee
Prohibition Engagement Measures
Taken Up.

Washington, Sept, 4.--Chief interest
In the controversy over the peace
treaty and its entwined league coven-
ant shifted today to Columbus, where
President Wilson opened his campaign
in behalf Of immediate ratification. In
the senate no prepared addresses were
ready for delivery and.It was Indie IT
ed there would be suspension Of de-
bate.
The prohibition enforcement mea-
sure and the nomination OF General
Pershing to be a general for life were
expected to consume all of today's ses-
sion.
Final action on the peace treaty by
the senate foreign relations committee
late today was planned by Republican
leaders. 1t was proposed that res
olution of ratification, including res
ervations. be adopted and the treaty
be ordered reported to the senate.
Reservations With Teeth.
The reservations, which are to be
not less than five in number, are full of
teeth for the protection of American
interests.
They will safeguard the Monroe doc
trine. maintain American sovereignty
over purely domestic questions, includ-
ing the tariff and immigration, assert
the unmistakabie rights of the United
States to withdraw, virtually nullify
article X, insofar as 1t affects the
United States, and declare that no de-
cision of the league shall be binding
upon the United States unless the
American representative participating
In the decision shall have been con-
firmed by the senate.
Despite the-drastic charaster- OF the
reservations. it was reported that the
mild reservationists" found them
fairly acceptable Some minor differ
ences of opinion prevailed as to the
phraseology of the reservation on ar
ticle x. it was stated, but prediction
was made that this would be smother
Cd out and that the republicans would
be able to present solid front.
In addition to the reservation pro-
gram, the committee will recommend a
series of teXtual amendments. One OF
them Is the Johnson amendment, de-
signed to give the United States six
votes in the league assembly, the same
number as Great Britain. Another
would prevent the British colonies
from voting in matters affecting the
British empire. Another would give
Shantung back to China. and others
would keep the United States out OF
all ENGAGEMENTS likely to result from
the work Of score Of international
commissions set up by the treaty.

Fiji Island head dresses and "cannibal"

monkey fur, were among the aston

a display of Jewels. furs and costly
gowns.
From the fashion viewpoint. the nov
elites were grotesque rather than beau

of long. coarse fringes of all colors,
ranging from cocoanut to black. These
were certainly the newest and mos.
startling of the many curious dis
plays.
Long-haired monkey fur standing UP
from the heads of the smartly dressed
girls gave an exotic appearance to
which Paris has not yet become ac-
