SENATOR'S AGAIN
 OPEN HEAVY FIRE ON PEACE TREATY.
Knox Makes Bitter Attack. Declares Against Ratify- ing Pact at All-Commit- tee Receives Part of Data It Asked of President.
[Republican A. ?. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. zy-Ine treaty of peace was progressively assailed by it's senate foes again today, the foreign relations committee approving three more textual amendments to it's provi- sions and Senator Knox of Pennsylva- nia. a republican member of the com mittee and former secretary of state, advising the senate that the only safe way to deal with it was to reject it altogether.
 Acting by a vote of nine to eight in each case. the committee adopted with out extended debate amendments de- signed to equalize British and Ameri- can representation in the league of na- tions. to prevent the British dominions from participating in league decision affecting any of them, and to curtaii she power of the American represen- tatives on the separations commission which is to collect Germany's repara- ton bill.
 Democratic committee members pre- sented a solid front against all of the proposals and were joined by Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, who also had voted against the two amendments adopted prior to today s session. Only one proposed amendment now remains on the committees calen- dar, though others may be presented when consideration of the subject is continued next week.
 Knox Assails Treaty
 In his address Senator Knox declared that the full purpose of American par ficipation in the war had been accom- piished with the armistice, and that there had been no reason for project ing the nation into the European set- dement's He said complete peace basis could be established by action of congress as soon as three of the other principal powers had ratified the treaty and that such a course would free the country from many dangerous possi- bilities of foreign entangIeHents.
 The. peace terms imposed upon Ger many, said the Pennsylvania senator, went beyond the pale of international law and would be impossible of en- forcement. He characterized them as constituting mot the treaty but the truce of Versailles and as laying the foundation flor centuries of blood letting"
 During the day another of the trea- ties negotiated at Versailles was sent 10 the senate by President Wilson. It was the treaty made with Poland by the principal powers and signed on June 2s. With it the president sent an agreement for occupation of the Rhine signed by the United States and other powers on the same day.
 Wilson Loath to Give Data
 Submission of the Polish treaty, the Rhine agreement and other data was requested in a letter sent to the White House several days ago by the foreign relations committee, but to this request the president made no reference in his letter of transmittal. Attention was called to the subject. however, in a brief statement by Chairman Lodge in the senate and later MT. Lodge made public the letter of request saying that the data asked for was a part of the treaty with Germany and was essential in committee consideration of that treaty.
 The data called for and not received by the committee included another and previous Rhine agreement and any available drafts of the treaties now un- der negotiation with Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and Hungary. Committee mem hers pointed out also that a long state ment by M. Clemenceau as president of the peace conference, attached to British and French official copies of the Polish treaty, was not included in the copy sent in today by the president.
 A British print of still another Yer sailles treaty. an air convention be- tween the United States and various other nations, was put into the senate record by Senator Knox. An expiana- tory note heading the convention said it had not been signed but was being given to the public for their informa : ton. Mir Knox said this plan appar- ently had been followed out in every country except the United States.
