AGAINST RUSSIA
Council of Five Also Frees
Germany of Net

United Press Staff Correspondent }
PARIS, July I2.-The council
Of five began issuing instruc-
tions today on tho cessation Of
the blockade against Germany.
The council also started con-
sideration OF lifting the blockade
against Russia, its maintenance
being regarded as most difficult
by the official decree aboIishing
the barriers around Germany.
American delegates also held it
was not legal.
Italy filed n claim today. asking
that she be granted the Austrian
concession in Tientsin, China, the
peace treaty now providing that the
concession revert to China for inter
national use.
Tho blockade against Germany
was to be raised today, according
to the decision announced yesterday
by the council OF five.
Exeperts advised the council that
they considered ratification of the
peace treaty by the German national
assembly was sufficient, without
awaiting action by the Prussian and
Bavarian parliaments. The council
concurred in the opinion.

countries were instructed to ask
their home governments to submit

les within eight days. A decision on
the Intervention proposal will be

received.
Dispatch of British, French and

surprise, tho apparently such a
course was decided upon at least
two days ago, as the ships are now

that the presence of the vessels
would help to stabilize the situation,

WILSON IN EAST
g. 0. P. Strategists Hope to
Prevent League Tour

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July i2.--An at.
tempt to prevent President Wilson
making his cross country tour In be.
half OF the league OF nations. by
keeping him In daily attendance with
meetings OF tho senate foreign rela-
tons committee. was being discussed
today by league opponents In con.
gress.
Senator Moses. New Hampshire. a
new republican member OF the com
mittee. said today he plans TO offer
n resolution I'm the committee Mon.
day. inviting President Wilson to at
tend the sessions OF that body. be-
ginning at 10 a. m. each day. while
the peace treaty Is being discussed
Il think the president could more
effectively serve his country In this
way than by making stump speeches
thruout the nation" said Moses.
President Wilson already has ex.
pressed a willingness TO give all in.
formation possible to the committee.
Want to Hear Him
Other republican members said
today they favored having Wilson
meet the committee TO inform IL
fully on treaty provisions about
which there is controversy or doubt
Borah said he would vote for a reso-
luton inviting Wilson to appear.
Many democrats also would like
to see the presidents offer OF his
services. made in his speech to the
senate. accepted at once.
The view generally taken was that
the committee cannot refuse to in
wife the president TO appear. in view
of his clearly expressed desire to do
SO. II he should refuse. no claim
ever could be made that the senate
was forced TO act on the treaty with.
out proper information from the
president, II was pointed out.
However. Wilson's friends want
him to attend only n few sessions.
Another development was n per
sistent report that President Wilson
has decided TO ask Senator Swanson.
OF Virginia, TO handle the fight for
the league in the senate. displacing
Senator Hitchcock. who has been the
administration spokesman.
Color was given TO this report by
the fact that since his return Wilson
has not conferred with Hitchcock,
but spent nearly an hour talking
with Swanson in the capitol Thurs
day: that Swanson. not Hitchcock.
will deliver the first speech on the
league Monday. when the senate re-
sumes business. and that Hitchcock
left Washington for his summer
home in New England Thursday
night.
