PRESIDENT POSTPONES
HIS SPEAKING JAUNT
More Conferences to Be Held With Or.
position Senators.-Trip Will
Start About August is

Washington, July 30-President Will
son will not leave on his speech max
ing tour of the country before August
10 and possibly not until late in Au-
gust. This was indicated last night
by the formal announcement by Secre-
tary Daniels after a conference at the
White House that the review of the
newly organized Pacific fleet at San
Francisco, originally set for August
Is, had been postponed in order that
the president might be present. Later
II was announced at the White House
that Mr.. Wilson would resume his con.
ferences with Republican senator's to-
day. As there remain 33 Republican
senators with whom the president has
not conferred, 1t was believed his con
ferences with those opposing the
league of nations would require about
10 days. This also was taken to indi.
cate the president did not contemplate
beginning his trip until probably the
middle of next month.

COLOMBIAN PACT COMES UP
Century Old Custom Of Considering

100000 in Canal Claims

Washington. July 80. - The special
treaty with France, promising immedi-
ate American aid TO that republic in
repeIling any unprOvoked attack by
Germany, was sent to the senate yes
.erday by President Wilson.
In his message urging ratification
he president declared the promise a
temporary supplement to the treaty
with Germany and the league of ma
tons covenant, designed to give
France protection i'm an emergency,
without waiting the advice of the
league to act" He pointed out that a
similar promise had been made by
Great Britain. and said that by the
obligation the United States but par
tally discharged debt to France
senate received the message in open
session and referred the treaty with
out discussion to the foreign relations
committee.
There was no reference i'm the mes
sage to the senate criticism, which
was based on clause of the treaty
requiring it to be submitted TO the
senate Of the United States at the
same time as the treaty of Versailles. -
presented by the president on July TO-
The message did refer to this clause,
however, stating it was proved that
the two treaties ''be the subject of
consideration at the same time and
adding that as opportunity now had
been offered to examine the Versailles
treaty, it was OppOrtune to present the
other.
Departing from his custom of de-
iivering his messages to congress in
person, the president transmitted the
treaty and his request for ratification

remained In open session while the
message was read, and both the mes.
sage and treaty were ordered printed
