BARTHOU ATTACKS
BIG FOUR'S SECRECY
Chambers Debate Is Similar
to u. S. Senate's.

CopgFi1Nt 1919 all RIGHTS res,ypad

PARIS, Sept. 3.---Although the speech
OF Capt. Andre Tardieu defending the
treaty of Ueace had been looked for
ward TO as the main feature of the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies, In
reality the unexpected attack by former
Premier Barthou on Premier Clemen-
ceaus failure to consult PARLIAMENT
during the negotiations excited the
greatest interest.
The distinguished French orator,
whose exhaustive report on the treaty
has been received with much admira-
ton, reechoed many OF the complaints
made against President Wilson In Amer
lea for the secrecy of the Big Four and
the absolute refusal of the principals to
ascertain the views Of their Parliaments.
Listening to the debate was like being
transported to the American Senate.
Pointing his finger at Premier Gle
menceau sitting on the front bench, his
gloved hands folded, NJ. Barthou In ferry
phrases insisted on the right or Parlia-
ment to examine closely every provision
of the treaty.
During seven months the Govern
ment deliberately has kept this chamber
outside Of its negotiations" he said.
ut now brings in the treaty to be ac-
cepted or refused: we must say only
yes or no. NQuld IL not nave been bets
ter had the criticisms now made been
sought before rather than after the
treaty was signed?"
After paying tribute to the services
of "the Tiger" in winning the war the
orator, still pointing to Premier Clemen-
ceau, said;
you insisted on negotiating this
treaty alone. For this you will have
the glory but also You will have the
responsibility, as now this Parliament
can accept or reject the treaty only as
a whole. This proceeding does an In
jury TO our institutions, but from the
day II ratifies 1t this Parliament must
see that its execution is assured"
Cspt. Tardieu's discourse was a de-
fence OF Premier Clemenoeau's action
In not following the advise Of Marshal
Focb, He brought out the point, al
ready stated in THE SUN, that President
Wilson on the day after no landed at
Brest the second time proposed an al
lance treaty. giving Premier Clemen.

CZECHS WARN OF

Protest False Statements on

WARRINGTON, Sept 3.-zRepresenta-
tives Of the Czecho-Slovak League told
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
to-day that spokesman for the Hun
garian-American Federation had made
maliciously false and misleading state
ments to the committee yesterday re-
garding the apportionent Of Hungarian

those portions in which the nationals of
those countries predominant was emil
nently fair and just they said, and only
the Magyar feudal aristocrats were at
tempting to prevent this destruction of
their dream Of a Magyar empire.
The delegates appearing for the slo-
yak league were Edward Vaczy Of
Brooklyn; Ven Svoric, Cleveland law
yer, and o. D. Koreff of Pittsburg. They
followed Alex J. johnson of Chicago,
editor OF Standardization news
paper, who pleaded for the restoration
Of the Aland Islands in the Baltic to
Sweden on the ground that the Alanders
already had testified a virtually unani.
nous desire for return to Swedish SOW
ereignty.
Tomorrow the committee will hear
representatives OF the Jugo-Slav or
ganizations in the United States as to

being conducted here in the effort to
prevent dismemberment OF the old Mag

added. was in the effort to create the
impression that there existed a homo
seneous country known as Hungary, in
habited by a homogeneous people. The
fnct was, ne declared. that the 1000. 900
Magyars were attempting TO impose
their brutal system OF government" on
100000 Of other peoples.
"Can 1t be-" asked Mr. Vaczy, that
the purse of Bella Kun has been opened
for this propaganda"
Premier Venizeloc of Greece, IN a let
ter to the American Ambassador In
Paris made public to-day by the State
Department, denied reports published in
America that he had publicly stated his
loss OF confidence In the League OF Ma
ton because of the American attitude
with regard 10 Tbrace. He asked that
President Wilson be advised that he had
undergone no change OF sentiment with
regard TO the proposed world society.
T. After quoting from American press
reports as to his attitude and recalling
that tho question went so far even as
to occupy the Senate" Premier Venice
los wrote:

PARIS, Sept. Sat least one of the

for coolies. an asphyxiating gas. which,
launched against the hordes, not only
destroys the pest but acts with a sooth-

their home.
Prors Bertrand Broca, Rousseau and
d Jacksonville appeared before 4 distin-
guished body OF scientific men In the
French Academy of Sciences Monday

phyxiant. In an experiment conducted
before tho eyes OF the scientific body an
immense colony OF coolies was assembled
in a room in which the air was charged
with the pulveriIed chemical. I'm less
than three minutes not a cootie was
alive.
The new process also has a peace
time use; the French army will employ

One clause of the Austrian treaty as

prohibiting the annexation of Austria
by Germany. This clause reads:
The independence of Austria is in
alienable otherwise than with the con-
sent Of the council of the League OF

takes. in the absence of the consent of
said council, to abstain from any act
which might directly or indirectly by
