ROOT SHOWED
TREATY COPY .

Testihes Before Committee
II That He Receis "a i From

Washington, June 11.-sFormer
Senator Elihu Root Of New York, ap-
pearing unexpectedly before the SEN
Ate. foreign relations committee today
testified that it was he who showed a
copy of the, peace treaty to Senator
Lodge.
Mr.. Root testified that he got 1t
from Henry P. Dawson of the Morgan
banking house. NA
Mr.. Dawson testified that he got It
from Thomas w. Lamont another
the financial advisers to the American
peace mission in Paris, but asked for
it not in his capacity as a. banker, but
as president of the International Red
Cross league which is backed by the
covenant of the League of Nations.
J. p. Morgan testified that he had
never seen a copy of the treaty and SO
did Frank A. Vanderlip. retiring
President of the National City bank.
Mr.. Dawson testified he has shown
It to no one but Mr.. Root.
During an hours testimony in the
witness chair, Mr.. Root said he
thought President Wilson was within
his constitutional rights in not send
ing the treaty to the senate but
thought it perfectly legitimate for the
senate to ask for it after it had been
published by the German government.
He gave it as his opinion that the
president was within his rights in not
consulting the senate more freely on
the negotiations but thought it would
have facilitated a solution had that
been done.
Mr.. Root saw nothing improper in
Mr.. Dawson having copy of the
treaty.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Vanderlip's
testimony the committee ended the
hearing for the day and went into ex-
ecutive session. =
Mr.. Root remarked that the Ger
man government had made the treaty
public in detail, adding, "It thereup-
on became public property. There are
two parties to the negotiations. Either
party has the right to make it pub
lie. No longer can any diplomatic
secrecy attach"
II should be inclined to resent any
suggestion Mr.. Root added sharply
that I am not entitled to it and to
''so it as see fit, which propose to
do"
Referring to the Red Cross work of
Mr.. Dawson apd his own interest in
the Red Cross Mr.. Root said: u. .
Mr. Davison's possession was no
matter Of idle curiosity but of Off
cial duty on the part of the man who
is abandoning his great business and
giving his great powers to organiza-
ton and execution of the great. Red
Cross activities and he has conferred
an estimahle benefit upon the country
with credit to himself" t
Chairman Lodge, Senator Hitch
cock and other committee members
said later 1t was doubtful whether
any further investigation would be
made. Mr.. Lodge received a message
from Paul M. Warburg, in Which Mr..
Warburg was understood to have dis
claimed any knowledge of any copies
Of the treaty in New York.

Paris, Tuesday, June 1O.-By The
Associated Press. s.)--Oficial announce
ment was made after the meeting to
the council of four this afternoon that
there was hope of comparatively
early decision on the reply to Ger
many. 1t was said an agreement in
principle, was reached on the repara-
tions clauses, to the effect that no
definite sum to be paid by Germany
will be fixed in the treaty and that the
question would be left virtually as in
the original draft.
In French circles it was stated to-
day that the treaty as again submit

altered than has been generally sup

New York, June 11.-Only 166 per-
sons. including 121 operators out of a
total of 10000 employed by the West
ern Union throughout the country
were absent from duty at noon today.
Newcomb Carlton, the companys
president, announced in a statement
terming "a complete failure" the
strike called by the Commercial
Telegraphers union.
In the New York offices where
there are 3,64G employees only eleven
were absent for all reasons. he stated
Mr.. Carlton asserted that the stock
exchange and cable operating de-
partment were not affected by the
strike.
Contrary claims were made by Per-
cy Thomas. vice president of the Com
mercial Telegraphers union who said
that his reports showed that a large
percentage of Western Union and Pos
tai employees were responding to the
strike call. He estimated that 90 per
cent of the telegraph operators would
be affected when the strike became
fully effective.
After their meeting this morning
the strikers paraded from their meet
ing hall to the main offices of the
Western Union and Postal companies
in the downtown district.
Divisional reports which covered all
the large centers in the service. de-
clared that the wires were clear and
traffic normal, Mr.. Carlton said
At the office of the Postal company,
Edward Reynolds general manager,
said conditions were satisfactory from
the company's standpoint traffic
moving along in good shape"
No Federal Action.
70 c1, ,ctn 60. of
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies and the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union made widely
divergent claims today as to the effect
here of the order calling a nation
wide strike of wire employees. At
Western Union headquarters it was
said the force was 100 per cent nor
NAL, while Postal, officials declared
less than ten per cent of their force
was out.
Union officers claimed upwards of
1000 operators and other employees
of the two telegraph companies and
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
graph company failed to report for
work at a. m, ,,the hour the strike
became effective. Telephone COM
pany officials said their full force was
at work.
Postoffice department officials re-
lterated the statement that no action
for the settlement of the strike would
be taken by the department and the
situation now is entirely in the hands
of private managements.
With the resolution of Senator Kel-
logg. passed yesterday, which pro-
vides for the return of the wire lines
to their original owners forthwith -
scheduled for speedy action in the
house Thursday, there was consider
able speculation today as to what ef-
feet the action Of the government in
turning back the systems to private
ownership would have on the strike.

Revised Plan Allows Com ON
mittee To Adjust Matters
To Meet Emergencies;
Waterways Section May
Be Improved To Some Ex-
tent.

Paris, Tuesday, June 10.-The only
vital change that will be suggested
by the committee which has been
studying the financial clauses of the
peace treaty in the light of the Ger
man counter proposals is that the
committee on reparations may be
given a wider latitude and certain
discretionary powers in determining
the uses to be made of the money
paid by Germany, it is understood:
As originally drawn, the financial
clauses specified that first payments
from the money to be paid by Ger
many would be for the maintenance
of the armies of occupation and that
next would come payments for rep
arations. Under the revised plan the
committee has been authorized to
adjust matters to meet emergencies.
The American members of the
commission on harbors and water
ways have discovered many points in
which they believe the waterways
section can be improved and there
are indications that a split report may
be made to the peace conference.
Request Refused.
Paris, June 1.-THE reply to the
German counter proposals agreed
upon by the peace conference heads
refuses the German request for a
mandate for the former German col
onies, it was learned today. A lengthy
memorandum gives the reasons for
the refusal and explains the oper-
atoms Of the League of Nations on
colonial matters. ..

horse sense, to plant congressional
