TREATY IN SENATE
President Sent Treaty With France To-
day-Says Agreement Was Act
of Friendship.

WASHINGTON, July 29-President
the special treaty with France by which
the United States pledges itself to come
Immediately to the aid of that republic
in the event of an unprovoked attack
by Germany and asks for its early rati-
fication "along with the treaty with
Germany. . The President did not follow
his usual custom of presenting the trea-
ty in person. He sent it to the capitol
by special messenger along with mes
sage explaining its object.
The President told the senate the pur
pose of the treaty was to provide assis-
tance for France in ease of unprovoked
aggression by Germany without wait
ing for the advice of the council of the
league of nations, that such action
should be taken and explained that it
was to be an arrangement 'not indie
pendent Of the league of nations, but
under it,"
"The covenant of the league of ma
tions,' the President said, "provides
for military action for the protection of
its members only upon the advice of the
council of the league. Advice given,
it is to be presumed, only upon delibera-
tion and acted upon by each of the gov
ernments of the member states only if
its own judgment justifes such ac-
ton"
Pointing out that the treaty "shall
receive the approval of the council of
the league' the President said it would
remain in force 'tonly until upon the
application of one of the parties to il
the council of the league, acting if nee
essary by majority vote, shall agree
that the provisions of the government OF
the league afford her (France) sufficient
protection.

CHICAGO, July 29-Fifteen thou
sand street railway employees went on
strike for higher wages at 4 O'Clock

vehicles to reach their places of business.
Early last night heads of the union and
officials of the street railway company
reached and agreement to fix the wages
of the men at approximately 65e an
hour and grant an eight hour day with

STREETS OF CHICAGO
TO QUELL RACE RIOTS

ness fell the fighting started. In some
eases negroes in automobiles dashed
through the streets firing at any white
people encountered. In other cases
whites attacked the buildings occupied
by negroes, shooting through windows
and doors while the inmates fired back
from barricades.
Bands of both races marched through
the streets and fought hand TO hand
battles. Men and women were dragged
from street cars until the company
stopped running them through the af-
fected area
Toward daylight the less aggressive
having been driven to cover, worn out
with fighting or jailed, number of
white rioters invaded the down town
quarter, beat negroes found on the
street, and dragged covering porters
from all night restaurants and hotels to
the streets, flogging them numerically.
Trouble fiared intermittently through
out the morning and unconfrmed reports
of additional killings continued to reach
the police. Today's fighting centered in
the heart of the black belt, along Both
street, and to cope with the solution the
police massed reserves of men, rifles,
patrol wagons, ambulances, and motor
cycles in the vicinity In addition to
some 1000 state troops under arms as
many more were under orders to be ready
for emergencies. Latest figures placed

PARIS, July 29.-Henry Morgenthau
former American ambassador to Tur-
key, appointed by President Wilson as
head of the American commission to in
vestigate reported pogroms in Poland,
told newspaper men here yesterday that
the short visit which he had made to
Poland had convinced him that the re-
ports of the pogroms were tremendously
exaggerated.
Mr.. Morgenthau added his view that
the Polish Jew sometimes overlooked
the fact that equal rights involved equal
duties. If the Polish Jews wished sin
cerely to collaborate with the state, he
declared, they must follow the example
of their American coreligionists, who
consider themselves above all things pa
triotic Americans.

cause extreme and unwarranted fuctua-

WHEAT RUST SURVEY
IN THIS SECTION
Is Being Made by Mr.. Doran, Repre-
senting U. S. Department of Cereal
Investigation.

A survey of the condition of the plant
disease known as wheat rust is being
made in this section by Mr.. Doran, rep
resenting the United States department
of cereal investigation. The disease has
been spreading gradually in various sec
tions, attacking red top, timothy and
other important grasses.
One strange point in the life history
of this plant, said County Agent w. P.
Frost today, is the fact that it nearly
always spends part of its life upon the
barberry plant and is never prevalent
except in districts where the barberry is
found in either wild or cultivated form
Mr.. Doran found patches of wild bar
berry in the town of Dummerston, but
it is not expected that Windham county
has large amount of this plant in either
wild or domesticated form. Consequent
ly serious damage from rust is not
looked for here.
