(By John t. ParllersonD

Paris, June 9.-The rumpus caused
in American senatorial circles over
the charge by Senator Lodge that
certain bankers in New York were in
possession Of the treaty while the
text was denied to the senate is not
causing any alarm among the Ameri-
cans here. Il has been noasecret that
copies were available in Germany and
neutral countries, but the position OF
the American delegation is that they
agreed not to make the treaty public
until il is signed.
The explanation was that changes
may be made and that 1t would be
folly TO publish the text of the docu-
ment because, until It is signed, ii is
merely form of negotiation, and not
a complete treaty

Detroit, Mich, June 9.-Detrot is

most complete and most peculiar
street car strike ever put into effect
in the United States. Not a street
car has moved since o'clock Sun
day morning, and the city is con-
fronted with indefinite duration of
the strike because Of q deadlock be-
tween the city council, the mayor,

The city stands pat on a five-cent
fare with universal transfers; the
street railway company demands n
scent fare on all lines and one cent
for transfers, and the street car
workers demand q 1-2 and 81 1-2
cents an hour increase in wages.
The peculiar feature Of the strike
is that the company refuses to make
a fight against the strikers and will
not attempt to run cars until the
city permits the advance in fares the

TEXT OF TREATY BEING
SYNDICATED TO PRESS

New York. June ga. P.)
The full text of the treaty of
peace with the central powers,
which has been the subject of
discussion in the United States
senate for a week or more, has
been brought to this country by
Frazier HuntJo of correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, and is
being syndicated to newspapers
in this country in copyrighted
sections. The first section ap-
peared 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 English, is contained in AIS
pages and runs about $4,000
words. Mr.. Hunt says 1t is quite
easy to obtain German trans
lations Of the treaty in Ger
many and neutral countries,
but these have omissions and
are without the maps which his
original draft copy contains.
a The summary of the treaty
tas previously published in this
country. Mr.. Hunt states, sub
stantially carries the important
points of the full treaty and
only in a few places are there
omissions. These, he said, oc-
cur in the section relating to
the Saar valley and in reference
to the international labor or
ganlzation.
Another American correspon-
dent abroad also secured and
mailed a full copy of the treaty
but the British censor held it
up, according TO a statement
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.
