F n @ my Representatives Must Accept or Reject Within Stated Time. COVENANT HAS
 BEEN MODIFIED Now Easier For Germany to be Admitted to the League
 of Nations.

Paris. June 9-The reply of the allied and associated gov ernmentS to the German coun- ter proposals will not be deliv- cred before Friday, June 13. It will give the Germans five days in which to accept or re- feet the treaty.
 Premier Ciemenceau, Col. House and Lord Robert Cecil have re-exan- ined the terms under which nations other than founder members may be admitted to the league of nations. Their report modifies somewhat the covenant SO as to render the admts- sion of Germany easter
 It is understood that the conditions recon mended for Germanys admis- sion to the league are:
 The establishment of stable gov ernment.
 The signing of the treaty of peace.
 The loyal execution of the treaty.
 A condition that compulsory mili- tary service he abolished will be omitted on Premier Clemenceau's suggestion. It was considered that the treaty sufficiently provided for Germany's disarma ment.
 The council of four today consid- cred reports submitted by various commissions in regard to the answer to the German proposals.
 The peace conference commissions on colonies. prisoners of war. respon- abilities and the labor. military and naval clauses of the treaty in their reports to the council of four, the Echo De Paris says. urged the re- tection of the German counter pro- posals as far as the several commits sions are concerned.

Washington, June 9-A copy of the German peace treaty, said to have been brought to this country by Chicago news paper correspondent, was pre- sented in the Senate today by Senator Borah and by vote of ~ to 24 ordered put in the con- gressional record and printed as a public document
 All the votes against publication were cast by Democrats with the ex- ception of that by Senator McCum- ber of North Dakota, Republican Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado forced a roll call, thus refusing unanimous consent for publication. In the discussion in the foreign relations committee Senator Borah was asked by Senator Hitchcock:
 Have you any reason to believe which copy was seen by Senator Lodge?''
 "I have my opinion. but I haven't any real information" Mir. Borah re- piled. T don't think any of these men showed their copy to Senator Lodge
 Senator Brandegee. Republican, of Connecticut, read from the recent speech by Senator Hitchcock in which the Nebraska senator said if Senator Lodge held a copy of the treaty in his hand 1t either was a stolen document or had been obtained by bribery. The Connecticut senator said he never had had the audacity | ioi. a of it's agents can be bribed,'' and add ed that when the investigation had been started, he hoped Senatc~ Hitch cock would either withdraw his infer- ence or make good his charge.
 Senator Lodge then took the stand and in a brief statement told of hay ing seen a copy of the treaty in the possession of a friend in New York
 This friend, he continued. told him that he knew four copies of the treaty were in New York. Neither this friend nor another friend who offered him a copy had any connection with financial interests, Senator Lodge said.
 Replying to questions by Senator Hitchcock, Senator Lodge said he did not think it would be honorable" for him to disclose the names of the men who had copies of the treaty. Declaring this that several news papers had printed 25,ooo words of the treaty Senator Brandegee said that except in khe senate copies of the document "are as common in this country as huckleberries.'
 Senator Knox, republican, Penna., declared that Senator Lodge had giv- en all the information possible and that what he withheld was a matter of highest senatorial privilege and personal honor.
 Acting Secretary Polk said he had first received the text of the treaty by cable and estimated it was about 80 per cent complete.
 "I received one copy by special courier, about May 19" he continued. Later I received ten copies by special courier and since then a pack age of copies by pouch (maiD."
 He was positive the copies shown in the United States could not have come from the state department as they were locked in a safe.

Government Control.
(Burlington NeWs.)

1t is quite natural that the railroad
workers should believe firmly in gov
eminent control of the roads. From
the rushing through Congress Of tha
Adamson law to prevent a threaten
ened strike the railroad men have
only had to formulate new demands
to have them promptly met with.
Railroad workers ought to appre-
ciate the fact that losing concerns
should not be called upon to make
extensive wage increases and with
the present deficit existing in the
conduct OF the roads they become
more pensioners upon the taxpayers
of the country who are compelled
to make up the deficit.
What is needed is comprehensive
plan to stop profteering and reduce
prices to lower level An increase
in the purchasing power of a dollar
is equivalent to a wage increase and
it is no use working wages continu-
ally upward and then not have work
ers any better off.

They clambered into the big truck
which was half filled with straw and
upon this they enjoyed their twelve
mile ride to the pond. Before start
ing Mr., Marshall gave the kids the
first treat of the day-a package of

got under way at $50 and dissap-
peared over the Danville road.
