lated into German, and then, bowling
gracefully, followed the master OF

treaty. He then returned to his seat
at the end of the hall, where he re-
manned quite at ease while Represen-

and only a small guard of honor in the
court of the chateau.

REPORT TREATY
To THE SENATE
Called an Alienation Instead Of
of League of Nations
RESERVATIONS ARE INCLUDED
Also Majority Report of the
Foreign Relations
Committee

BIZ The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Charac-
terized as an alienation and not lea
que, which will breed war instead OF
securing peace. the German peace
treaty including the covenant in the
league of nations, was formerly re-
ported to the senate today by the for
eign relations committee, with forty
five amendments, and four reserva-
tions.
1t will be the first document of its
kind to be discussed in the open, with
out the confined OF executive ses-
sion."
Accompanying the treaty was the
majority report of the foreign rela-
tions committee subscribed to by
every Republican member except
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
explaining the amendment and reser-
walton all of which 1t was declared
were "goverened by single purpose
and that is to guard American rights
and sovereignty, the invasion of which
would stimulate breaches OF peace, en-
courage conflict and generate wars"
The reservations proposed:
Unconditional right to withdraw
from the League.
Declaration by the United States to
accept any of the legal or moral OBJ
legations of the much discussed article
10 or to accept any mandatory from
the league except by action of the
Congress of the United States
Reserving to the United States the
inclusive right to decide what ques-
tions are without its domestic juris-
diction.
Absolute reservation of the Monroe
Doctrine to the Judgment of the Uni-
ted States alone.
The principal amendments are pros
posed to provide:
Equal voting power for the United
States with Great Britain In the ass
semb1y of the league.
Giving to China instead of Japan
the province of Shantung.
Release of the United States from
having representatives on commission
deciding matters in which it had no
concern.
Others concerned phraseology.
These amendments and reserva-
tions, majority report said, are sub-
mitted to preserve American in-
dependence and American sovereignty
and thereby best serve the welfare OF
mankind"
Fears that other nations may not
accept an amended covenant. the re-
port dismissed with the statement:
THAT is one thing that certainly
will not happen"
.srhe other nations will take us on
our own terms for without us their
league is wreck and their game
from a victorious peace is imperiied.
The report declared the other ma
tions do know there is no threat OF
retaliation possible with the. United
States because we have asked for
nothing for ourselves and have re-
ceived nothing"
That the adoption of the amends
ment will cause reassembling of the
peace conference, the report denied,
asserting that the conference proba-
bly, will be in session for six months
more in Paris and might as well be
"at least usefully employed as they
now are in dividing and sharing
southeastern Europe and Asia MI
nor"
German delegates report con-
tents could easily be brought to Paris
and as Germany is not a member OF
the league she need not be consulted
about the changes of the covenant.

surging swinging rythmic streams
which poured down the avenue were
$4,000 men equipped for battle-the
flower of the American army.
At the head of the five mile line
rode the commander in chief of all
the soldiers under the stars and
stripes. Behind him as a guard of
honor swung "Pershings Own" the
composite regiment of six foot infan-
trymen who had followed him
through flag decked streets of foreign
capitals.
