SENATE CONSIDERING
W|RE-CON troll BILL
UNEXPECTEDLY EARL !

Washington, June 9.-Congress be
gan the fourth week of it's ne wsession
today with the senate considering the
bill of Senator Kellogg of Minnesota,
republican, providing for the repeal
of the law authorizing the government
control of the $500, 10000 army appro-
priation bill.
Action on the Kellogg bill by the
senate was not expected before late in
the week, as lively debate on the ac-
ton of Postmaster-G General Burleson in
ordering operation of wire lines re-
turned to private control and the strike
of commercial telegraphers and tele-
phone operators was looked for.
The army appropriation bill as pre-
sented to the house today provides
for an army of 100000 men and and
in addition to being stripped of gener-
al legislation represented a consider
able reduction in the amount originally
sought by the war department. We'd

be taken up. Throughout the week
appropriation bills are to have the right
of way

GERMAN STATE COURT
TO De TERM|NE GUILT
FOR WAR IS PLANNED

Berlin, Sunday, June S.-The consti-
tutional convention has completed its
consideration of a bill creating a state
court which would try those accused Of
starting lengthening and losing the
war. 1t will be presented in the ma
tional assembly soon.
The measure provides for a commit
tee of Is members of the national as
sembly to investigate the political and
military leadership of the country prior
to and during the war, and requires
the government to produce any docu-
ments needed at the projected trials.
The court would be composed of 10
members, including the presidents of
the imperial, military, Prussian, Bavar-
ian and Hanseatic supreme courts. five
members of the national assembly and
five senators. The accused would he
permitted to have counsel and would
be given the privilege of testitfying.
Deliberations of the court would be Sc
cret and there would be no appeal from
its verdict.
THE people demand an explanation
as to who is guilty for the. war, why
it was not ended earlier, and whether
the baleful result could not have been
partly or wholly avoided" says "a state
ment which will accompany the bill
when it is presented to the national
assembly. This is the task of a state
court, although it can render no final
verdict because it is unable to see the
archives of other countries partici-
pating in the war. Nevertheless Ger
many's desire to withhold from the
rest of the world and not to spare the
guilty has caused the government to
apply for the creation of an interna-
tional investigation committee which
was denied by its opponents. So this
court should be created to investigate
whether Germans have been guilty
of conduct against the fatherland."
The statement declares that the
court should be above party politics and
only to its conscience.

Daily Summary
of Peace News
BY The Associated Press.

Plans for easing the terms upon
Germany will be admitted to the
League of Nations are under con.
sideration by the peace conference
heads. If she shows that she
possesses a stable government, signs
the peace treaty and Loyalty ex.
ecutes it she will be admitted, ac-
cordlng TO the proposed plans.
The replies to Germany's counter
proposals may be delivered by the
latter part of the present week. but
not before the coming Friday. ac-
cording to present indications. 1t
will be stipulated in the reply that
Germany must act in acceptance or
rejection of the treaty within five
days.
The Paris dispatches indicate that
the delay in framing the reply is
due to divergent views held by
premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau. President Wilson is said to
be adhering to his policy of de-
ferring to the British and French in
this particular matter, while
Premier Orlando of Italy is still
holding aloof, following his plan of
leaving the settlement of the ne
tiations relative to Germany to the
other allies.
The Turkish peace mission is eX-
pected to arrive at Versailles We'd

however, German Landwehr troops

reinforcements also were compelled
to retreat in this section, according

FULL TEXT OF TREATY
Is BEING SYND1CATED
TO AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.

New York, June 9.-The full text OF
the treaty of peace with the central
powers which has been the subject or
discussion in the United States senate
for a week or more, has been brought
to this country by Frazier Hunt, a cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune, and
is being syndicated to newspapers in this
country in copyrighted sections. The
first section appeared today.
Mr.. Hunt says the copy of the treaty
which he brought here is one of the
original drafts and was obtained in
Paris. 1t is printed in French and Eng
lish, is contained in 416 pages and runs
about 5000 words Mr.. Hunt says 1t
is quite easy to obtain German trans
lations of the treaty in Germany and
neutral countries. but these have omis-
sions and are without the maps which
his original draft copy contains.
The summary of the treaty as pub
ished in this country, Mr.. Hunt states,
substantially carries the important
points of the full treaty and only in
n few places are these omissions. These
he says, occur in the section relating
10 the Saar Valley and in reference
to the international labor organizations.
Another American correspondent
abroad also secured and mailed
a full copy of the treaty. but the British
censor held it up. according to state
ment published in the newspaper here
which he represents. A complaint in
the matter will be officially made today,
the paper says. TO the foreign relations
committee of the senate.
