Wilson 8 Refusal
Handed TO Senate
Treaty Text Is Incomplete
and Transmission NOaU
M-Aduised, He Asserts

WASHINGTON, June 16.-President
Wilson, responding to the Senate reso-
luton asking for the complete text of
the peace treaty, advised the Senate
through the State Department to-day
that he did not consider it in the pub
lie interest to transmit the treaty text
at this time because it was incomplete
and many delicate points were under
negotia ton.
Mr.. Folks letter follows:
"In the absence of the President and
the Secretary of State, and by the
Presidents direction, the undersigned,
acting Secretary Of State, presents his
compliments to the honorable, the
secretary of the Senate, and in re-
sponse to the Senate resolution of
June e. advises that the President
statet that he would, Of course, be
very glad to communicate to the Sem
ate the full text Of the treaty if that
text we're complete, which is not the
case. The acting Secretary of State
advises further that the President
states that the treaty is now in proc
ess of negotiation, that many points
of great moment are under considera
ton, that the text will, Of course, not
be complete until it is finally ready
for signature, and he (the President)
feels that it would not be in the pub
lie interest to communicate officially
to the Senate text which is pro-
visional and not definite, and he finds
no precedent for such a procedure"

White Flag Raised
Over Petrograd Fort
Fall of Kronstadt Is Reported
Imminent; Bolsheviki Pre-
pare to Quit Capital

LONDON, June 16.-Active prepara-
tions are being made for the evacua-
tion of Petrograd, it is announced in
wireless dispatch from Moscow re-
ceived here to-day.
The fall of Kronstadt, the naval base
of Petrograd, is imminent, according
TO reports received by naval circles in
Helsingfors from Reval, the capital of
Esthonia. The reports say that white
flag has been hoisted over the fortress
several times by it's Bolshevik de-
tenders.
White Guards have captured the i'm
portant fort Of Krasnayagorka, across
the Bay of Kronstadt, from the fortress
of Kronstadt, the chief seaward de-
fence Of Petrograd, according to an
official statement received in Stockholm
from Esthonian headquarters. The re-
port said the White Guards won their
success after the garrison of the fort
had mutinied against the Bolsheviki
The garrison of Krasnayagorka, near
Petrograd, mutinied on Saturday, says
a Helsinfors dispatch, and opened fire
on the fortress of Kronstadt, which
replied to the fire. Five Bolshvik war
ships were sent out and they shelled
the fort until evening, when fires broke
out in the place. Ships on Sunday were
still bombardlng the fort, which is
said to be in the possession of White
Guards.

Wilson to Take
League Fight
Before People
Speaking Trip Over West
to Begin About July 4;
Boral and johnson to
Follow in Opposition

WASHINGTON, June 16.-President
Wilson, facing q divided Senate, has
decided to carry his fight for ratifica-
tion of the league of nations covenant
directly to the people in country
wide speaking tour. He expects to be-
gin the trip as soon as he returns from
Paris.
tentative itinerary has been COM
pleted by Secretary Tumulty, but it
will not be made public until Mr.. Will
son has finally approved it. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the tour will
carry the President into the Far West
and will occupy many days. 1t was said
Today that he probably would devote
most of his attention to Western states
where opposition to the league has
gained the greatest headway.
The date of the beginning of the trip
still hinges on developments at Ver-
sailles, but as nearly as officials here
can predict Mr.. Wilson will reach
Washington about July /, will lay the
treaty formally before the Senate and
then, possibly on Independence Day,
will begin a swing around the circle
that will eclipse in extent and in spirit
all his previous direct appeals to the
people.
The news Of the Presidents pro-
spective tour resulted in ans immediate
decision on the part of Senators
Borah, of Idaho, and Johnson, of Cali
fornia, to make a "swing round the
circle" behind him, answering his argu-
ments and tearing the league of ma
tions to pieces as best they can. Both
will stress the point, it is declared ::
"Do you want your boy to police Tur-
key, or give his life t. preserve the
boundary lines of countries you care
nothing about?"
Senator Reed, of Missouri, may also
join the pursuit if he can arrange to
be away from WASHINGTON for the nee
essary time. Senator Borah has no re-
strictions on his time when it comes

Military Terms

ne military terms were not drawn
solely with view of making it i'm
possible for Germany to resume her
policy Of military aggression, but
also as the first step toward the
general limitation of armaments. AS
the colossal growth in armaments in
the past few decades, was, it is as
serted, forced upon Europe by Ger
many, it is right, the reply declares,
that the process Of limitation should
begn with her. The armies arc
willing, in the interest Of general
peace and the welfare Of the Ger
man people, TO allow Germany to re-
duce her army more gradually than
s tipulatcd in the original draft Of
the treaty. Within three months she
must have reduced her army to
maximum OF 100000 men, and at .hc
end Of that three months and
every three months thereafter to al
low Allied military experts to fix
her military strength for the sue
ceeding three months. the object
being to reach the 100000 stipulated
in the original treaty az soon as

Europe and which was one of the es
sential steps by which the military
power of Prussia was built up and
the whole political life first Of Prus-
sia and then Of Germany perverted.
The second principle is that there
shall be included in the restored Po
land those districts inhabited by an
indisputably Polish population.
POSen and Vest Prussia
These two provinces, which were
predominantly Polish when the par
tition took place, might have been re-
stored to Poland almost in their en-
tirety according to the strict law of
historic retiribution, but instead
there has been left to Germany, in an
effort to avoid even the appearance
of injustice and despite Germany's
brutal colonization policy, all those
districts on the west in which there
is an undsputed German predomi-
nance contiguous to Germany. Never
theless, the frontiers have been care
fully reconsidered and certain modi-
fications made in detail. In particu-
lar, the historical frontier between
Pomerania and West Prussia is to be
reestablished.
East Prussia
Germany's refusal to accept the
separation of East Prussia from the
rest of Germany is met by the
statement that East Prussia was so
separated for many hundreds of
years, always has been recognized in
Germany as a German colony and
not as an original German land.
1t was not actually included in the
political frontiers of Germany until
1866, it it said. 1t is. pointed out
that Germany's objection to the hold
ing of a plebiscite in certain parts
of East Prussia causes surprise, es-
pecially when she admits doubt as to
the nationality of the inhabitants
and processes assent to the principle
of self determination.
Danzig
The provisions as to Danzig stipu-
late that the city is to resume the
character it held for many centuries
when as hanseatic city, it lay out
side the frontiers of Germany. AS
the population is perdomnantly Ger
man, the city will not be incorporated
in Poland, but it is essential that
Poland should have the sole seaport
available to her kept free from all
foreign domination.
Men,eL
The reply states that the session
of Memel does not conflict with the
principle of nationality, for, while
the city itself is in large part Ger
man, the district as whole has al
ways been Lithuanian.
Upper SiIesia
While Upper Silesia was not
formerly part of the Kingdom Of
Poland, the majority of its popula-
tion are Polish in origin and speech.
In difference to the German claims,
however, the territory shall be i'm
mediately ceded to Poland, but a
plebiscite shall be held in order to
meet any further criticism. The
liquidation of German property
there is to be safeguarded and Ger
many will be allowed to purchase
mineral products, including coal, on
the same terms as the Poles. Ger
mans transferred to Poland are to
be protected as to language, religion
and education.
Heligoland
Provision is made for the pro
lection of the interests of the people
of Heligoland and of peaceful navi-
cation and the fishing industry there,

German Colonies

The reply states no concessions
can be made as to former German
colonies and German rights outside
of Europe. 1t is declared the allied
and associated governments cannot
"again abandon thirteen million or
fourteen million persons to a fate
from which the war has delivered
them" Abuses which have attended
German colonial civilization are said
to have been admitted by German
leaders and it is felt necessary to
guard the security of the colonies
and the peace of the world against
a military imperialism which sought
to establish a basis for interference
and intimidation against other
powers.
The loss of the colonies will not
hinder Germany's normal economic
development, it is declared, it being
asserted that in 915 bat one-half per
cent of Germanys imports and one
half per cent of her exports was
with her own colonies. 1t is shown
by experience, the reply says, that
but very small proportion Of the
excess German population would go
to the German colonies. The prin-
ciples of private rights will apply
to railroads and mines if Germany
can prove their private ownership,
with the exception of the case of
Kiao-Chau. The natives of the COL
onies which will be administered un-
der mandatories will not bear any
part of the German debt, and the
Allies reserve full liberty to deter
mine the conditions under which
Germans may establish themselves
IN colonial regions. They ask that
Germany agree in advance to hu-
manltaran conventions as to the
trafhc in arms, spirits and the like.

GAYETY.

Manager Jarboe offers a high stand
ard of burlesque endeavor for the
opening of the 1890 season at the
Gayety this week. and it is going to
be a difficult matter for companies
which follow to match the production
staged by Max Spiegel under the title
of ABE Reynolds Revue" Gorgeous
barely describes the costumes and
scenic settings, and those who have
seen and heard Abe Reynolds need not
be told that there Is fun galore in the
course of the entertainment The
staging of the production Is notable,
and this is particularly true Of the last
scene entitled 1.-THE Slave Market in
Bagdad," which brings back memories
of the days when Frank Daniels tread
the boards as high potentate Of comic
opera with it's surroundings of orien-
tai splendor Arthur Mayer, as foil
for Abe Reynolds, is entitled to credit
for much of the funmaking. and Ray
Leavitt and William Davis have good
voices and know how to use them.
Mccarthy, Waco and Bligh, known as
the Jazz Boys" present a high-class
dancing and musical turn that wins
a big share of the applause.
It is difficult to select the one bright
spot in the feminine contingent, as
there are three principals who are
capable performers, each in different
field Of endeavor and each equally
good in her line. Phyllis Eltfs has
very good soprano voice, Bunny Dale
makes a realistic "vamp" and Gladys
Parker injects pep as the soubrette
of the show. And last, but by no
means least, is the chorus, which
ranks second to none seen at the
Gayety for 10! these many years.
