EMPHASIZES DENIAL
OF MILITARY PACT
REPORTS FROM PARIS DECLARE
PRESIDENT HAS MADE NO
PROMISES TO FRANCE

PARIS.--All news filtering out Of
the peace conference confirms the
statement that President Wilson has
in no way whatever bound-or prom
Used to bind--the United States in a
hard and fast agreement whereby
America would have to rush military
I'D to France at the first sign Of q
new attack on that country.
1t can be repeated with the utmost
positiveness that the president will
not enter into any military alliance
that would interfere in any conceiv-
able manner with the workings of
the league of nations.
With all the statements to the con-
trary appearing in the French press
the wish is clearly father to the
thought. The idea that the "Tiger"
has put over" his avowed plan to
create a new balance of power" in
which the United States would con-
stitute powerful percentage of the
balance. pleases French public opin-
ion, particularly Clemenceau's fol-
lowers. but there is absolutely no
foundation in fact for it.
There is no military alliance,
there is no promise of one, and there
will be none.
Bitter criticism from America has
reached the president since the first
stories to the contrary were pub
lished here. In response to direct in
Quiries he allowed himself to be
quoted to the effect that mo agree
ment has ever been considered which
would in any way weaken the league
of nations"
The most definite information
reaching the correspondent is that
President Wilson simply promised to
refer the entire proposal-whether
the United States should agree to aid
France in the exent of an effort by
Germany to overwhelm her-to the
American congress.
Mr.. Wilson, it is Understood, point
ed out to Premier Clemenceau that
congress was the only American body
with power to act along the lines re-
Quested by the French prime min
lister. At any rate whatever is done
in the future regarding this matter.
no secret agreement will be entered
into. Everything will be planned
openly. For the day of secret al
liances is past.

COAST HAS LOYALTY
FINANCED THE WAR
OVER-SCBSCRIPT ON PRE-.
vIOUS FOUR DRIVES SET MARK
FOR VICTORY LOAN.

An enyiable record in oversub
scribing four Liberty Loans faces the
Twelfth Federal Reserve district as
the local committees OF the seven
states and two territories in the dis
trict make their plans to eclipse dur
ing the Victory drive the marks
which were established under the
stress Of actual fighting on the west
ern front.
Upon each previous call by the
government the Twelfth district has
gone over its quota. In the first Lib
erty Loan of 1917, just after this
country entered the war, the quota
Of this district was $143,644.95O. At
the end of the campaign the district
had subscribed $175,625,9 more
than $30,000,O0O in excess of what
had been asked or an oversubscrip.
ton of 22.24 per cent.
The quota set for the Twelfth dis
trict at the beginning of the second
loan in the fall of 1917 was $780,
100000 and again the district pa
tri0tically gave the government
more than was asked by buying
$293,160,500, the total of excess sub
scriptions amounting to $40,OO0,OO0
or an oversubscription of almost 40
per cent, the best record made by any
of the four drives.
When the government called for
the third loan early in 1913 the
quota assigned to the Twelfth dis
trict was the same as in the second
drive and for a third time the dis
trict did more than its allotted share
