Many little lad had we, chirruping in the
chimney-tops,
Twiring out sooty broom blot against the
blue.
All, but when we called to him, and when he
and ran to her.
All our winter ended, and our world was made
anew.
Then she gave us May-coats of gold and green
and crimson,
Then, with long garland, she led our hearts
away,
Whispering, Remember, though the boughs
forget the hawthorn,
Yet shall return to you, that was your lady
May"
But why you dancing now O chimney
sweeps of Cheltenham,
And why you singing Of May that is
fled?
Oh, there's music to be born though we pluck
the old fiddle strings
And a worlds May awaiting where the fields
lay dead.
And we dance dance, dreaming Of q ladv most
beautiful
That shall walk the green valleys of this dark
earth one day,
And call to us gently, 20 chmney-sweeps of
Chetenham,
am looking for my children Awake, and
come away.

FRANCO-AMER|CAN TREATY IN HANDS
 OF J. s. SENATE
By Associated Press


 Washington, July 29.--The special treaty with France, promising immedi- ate American aid to that republic in repe1Iing any unproyoked attack by Germany, was sent to the Senate to- day by President Wilson.
 1 In his message urging ratification. the President declares the promise 2 temporary supplement- to the treat with Germany and the league of ' tions covenant, designed to give Fra -X protection in emergency "wit awaiting the advice of the leag act' He pointed out that a HS promise had been made by Grs o>4- tain and said that by the o' z on the United States but partiA dis- charged a debt to France whichs~ 10th ing can pay" in full.
 The Senate. where the Presidents failure to submit the treaty sooner had been under repeated fire from repnb- lican members, received the message in open session and referred the treaty without discussion to the foreign rela- tions committee.
 There was no reference in the mes sage to the Senate criticism, which was based on a clause of the treaty re- quring that it be Submitted to the Senate of the United States at the same time as the treay of Versailles" presented by the President on July 20 The message did not refer to this clause, however. saying that it WAS provided 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 deliv- erins his message to Congress in per son, the President transmitted tie treaty and his request for ratification by messenger Both became public by the Senate's unanimous agreement to remain in open session while the mes sage was read and to print it and the treaty in the Record. The request that this course be followed was made by Chairman Lodge of the foreign reia- tions committee.
 Although the committee has made no definite plans, it is likely that the treaty will be taken up by IL within few days and considered jointly with the Versailles treaty. Before this is done. however. the committee will hear several of the experts who advised the American peace delegation on economic subjects. Bernard Baruch, the fivst Of these to be heard, will appear at a public hearing Thursday
 The Senate spent most of the ay discussing the league of nations Sen ator Thomas. democrat Colorado, in an address expressing doubt as to the efficacy of the league in attaining in ternational concord, told his colIeaguss he had not yet decided whether he would support it. Senator Gay, demo- erat, Louisiana. urged the ratification without reservation and Senator Nel- son, republican, Minnesota announced that while he wanted to see it ratifie1 he thought reservations necessary.

 The announcement made by Secretary Daniels merely said that the President had found that it would be impossible for him to leave Washington in time to be in San Francisco on the date set for the reception there of the Pacific fleet"

War Investigating Commit tee Adopts Resolution by Almost Unanimous Vote After Substitute Resolu- tion of Democrats Had Been Defeated
By Associated Pres,

Washington, Jul y.-After an all-day wrangle, the House tonight adopted resol. n reported out by the war investi- gating committee requesting Secretary Baker to place on sale without delay, surplus food products held by, the war department and valued at S20,- O0O,0OO.
 The vote on the resolution was 2sS to 4, and was taken after the House had rejected, 1eo to 114, a substitute that the secretary be requested to put on the market such part of the surplus as is reasonably capable of being distributed and sold and providing for a sales or ganization at government expense
 With this substitute out of the way, the House adopted 152 to 13O, an amend ment by Representative Kelly, republican, Pennsylvania, directing that the dstribu- tion be through the parcel post point of order against this amendment by Chairman Graham of the war investigat- ing committee, in charge of the legisla- tion, was overruled.
 The chairman was outwardly hostile to the amendment but it seemed to meet popular favor on the democratic side. When the vote was announced the demo- crats applauded some of them openly jeering the opposition, because of it's failure to get the resolution through without amendment.
 After fighting all day and failing to rally votes enough for their substitute, presented as part of the minority re- port, the democrats supported the selling plan. and it was adopted, by roll call. with chorus of ayes Those voting in the negative were; Representatives Dom- mick. South Carolina; Garner, Texas: Garrett, Tennessee, and Humphreys of Mississippi all democrats.
 The debate was the most partisan of the session and charges were made by half dozen republicans that the war department had studiously avoided put ting its vast food stocks on the market because of its connivance with the pack ing interests. Charges of conspiracy were made, to which the democrats replied that if Secretary Baker had thrown the stocks on the market prices would have broken with a resultant panic, and accompanying demand by republican members of Congress for impeachment of the Secretary Of War.
 The principal speech attacking the pol icy of the deparement was made by Rep resentative Reavis, republican, of Ne braska, who had been fighting consis tently since the investigation was started to find out why the accumulated food stocks had not been put on sale long ago. Representative Flood. Virginia, and Garrett, Tennessee, democrats, and other members of the committee. both repub- lican and democrat took part in the dis cussion, and through the long and weary grind there were countless charges that it was a political fight.

Oo- position to the treaty is expected out ratification is deemed a certainty. and, it is understood the revised treaty also is assured of Colombia's approval.
 An attempt was made in the foreign relations committee today to reduce the sum payable to Colombia from $25.- GOO, 900 to $15.000.000. The proposal was defeated. II to- 2, being supported by Senators Harding of Ohio and afc- Cumber. of North Dakota, republicans.

 Washington, July 29.-President Wilson will not leave on his speech making tour of the country before August 15, and possibly not until late in August. This was indicated tonight by the formal ap- nouncement by Secretary Daniels, after a conference at the White House that the review of the newly organized Pa cific fleet at San Francisco, originally set for August l5, had been postponed in order that the President might b. present.
 Shortly before MT. Daniels conferred with the President, it was announced at the White House that MT. Wilson would resume his conferences with re- publican senators tomorrow. As there remain 33 republican sena tors whom the President has not invited to the White blouse, 1t is believed his conferences with those opposing the league of na- tions would require about 10 days.
