AccEPTED BY GERMANY

ACCEPTED BY GERMANY

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
BERLIN, July 9-President Ebert
signed the peace treaty at 10 O'Clock
tonight and Immediately sent the
document to Versailles by courier, &C
cording to the Berlin Vorwaerts.
Hopeful indications of Germany's in
tention speedily to carry out the terms
affecting the surrender of territory in
Poland were seen today in the receipt
of a note from Foreign Minister Muel-
Ter proposing the establishment of a
Joint German-Polish commission to at.
tend to the transfer of affairs in the
territory to be surrendered.
Turkey and Bulgaria.
WASHINGTON, July 10 - The
United States will be party to the
execution of peace treaties with Iur-
key and Bulgaria, although the coun-
try was not at war with those nations,
It was learned today
The United States will be concerned
because the league of nations cove
nant will go into each treaty as the
United States is a party to the league,
it was stated on high authority.
Ratification of the peace treaty by
Germany automatically lifts the block
ade against that nation, In the view
Of the president, 1t was learned today.
President Wilson is known to be-
lfeve that the speedy resumption or
trade Is of great Importance.
The president believes that 1t Will
require two-thirds majority OF the
senate to alter or make reservations
in the treaty, as two-thirds is required
for ratification.
President Wilson is keeping In
touch with American representatives
who are negotiating other peace trea-
ties. The American parts Of the Aus
trian treaty were substantially agreed
on before the president left Paris, 1t
was learned.
Members of the American mission
are sitting In and advising in all nego-
tiations now being carried on. 1t was
learned that ratification Of the treaty
will not in all likelihood remove the
necessity for certain American mill
tary activities. The treaty provides
from one to four months for the
Welding up of war materials by Ger
many which process is under direction
of military forces. Germany has on
hand equipment sufficient for several
million men and has millions Of vet
erans within her borders. A suffi-
cient guard will be maintained to
keep the world from nervousness"
The Franco -British-American treaty
Is to be dependent upon the approval
of a council of five Of the league of
nations. 1t will remain in effect until
the majority Of the council shall have
declared the satisfactory arrange
ments provided by the league com
plete.

Full Text Of Speech.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The full
text OF President Wilson's speech
follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
The treaty of peace with Germany
was signed at Versailles on the
twenty-eighth of June. l avail myself
of the earliest opportunity to lay the
treaty before you for ratification
and to inform you with regard to
the work OF the conference by which
that treaty was formulated.
The treaty constitutes nothing less
than world settlement. 1t would
not be possible for me either to sum
marize or to construe its manifold
provisions In an address which must
of necessity be something less than
treaty. My service and all the in
formation I possess will be at your
disposal and at the disposal of your
committee on foreign relations at
any time either Informally or IN ses-
sion, as you may prefer.
And hope that you will not hest
tate to make use of them. shall
at this time, prior to your own study
of the docum ent, attempt only a gen.
eral characterization Of its scope and
purpose.
In one sense, no doubt, there is no
need that / should report to you what
was attempted and done at Paris.
You have been daily cognizant OF
what was going on thereof the
problems with which the peace con-
ference had to deal and of the diff
Guilty OF laying down straight lines
of settlement anywhere on field on
which the old lines Of international
relationship and the new alike fol-
lowed too intricate pattern and were
for the most part cut so deep by
historical circumstances which doml-
mated action even where 1t would
have been best to ignore or reverse
them. The cross currents OF polltlcs
and of interest must have been evil
dent to YOU. 1t would be presuming
in me to attempt to explain the ques-
ttons which arose or the many d1'
verse elements that entered into
them. shall attempt something less
ambitious than that and more clearly
suggested by my duty to report TO
the congress the part 1t seemed nee
essary for my colleagues and me to
play as representatives of the gov
ernment of the United States.
That part was dictated by the role
America had played in the war ana
by the expectations that had been
created In the minds OF the peoples
with whom we had associated our
selves in that great struggle.

| Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich

acid from the blood and cast 1t out

muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood

fair to become world wide." said
Keokuk patriot today.
THE movement will serve the

preserve them"
Keokuk will, If she plants the trees

the work. The Civic league is bend
! ing every effort to have the trees
planted early this spring, but the CO.

needed to make the work possible.

| The history of how the movement
was inaugurated Is interesting. The
Suggestion OF it came from the poem,
THE Tree" by Joyce Kilmer, the
American poet, who gave his life in
, France.
| A church in Tacony, Pa, was the
pioneer, the Episcopal church of the
Holy Innocents, Immediately follow
ing the signing of the armistice,

A lawn In memory of four men of that
/ village who had died in the war.
The incident was called to the atten-
ton of the American Forestry asso-
citation at Washington, which imme-
idiately began to consider plans for
encouraging the custom all over
;America.
Louisiana was the HrSt common
wealth to plant trees for the fallen
men of that state, and is now plant
! ing 440 miles of victory oaks along
the Jefferson highway which is the
principal automobile road of the
state.
