 CHEERS PRESIDENT

Washington, July 1O-Presi-
 dent Wilson in presenting the
 peace treaty with Germany to
 the Senate today declared that a league of free nations had i become a practical necessity"
 to which the framers of the
 treaty felt obliged to turn "as
 an indispensable instrumental Ity for the maintenance of the | new order it has been their
 purpose to set up in the world"
 President Wilson submitted to the senate only the treaty con.
 ta1ning the covenant of the
 Leage of Nations. The proposed
 supplementary treaty under
 which the United States would
 agree to go to the aid of France
 in case of an unprovoked assault
 on that country by Germany. he
 will present separately at a later
 date.
 The most skepticaI of the neace conferees at Paris, the President said mad turned more and more to tbo league as discussion progressed in Seehlns soluton of the problems that arose in framing the terms of tbe treaty itself
 The fact that the covenant of tb. league was the first substantive part~ or the treaty to be worked out and agreed upon," the President said. while all else was in solution. heIped 10 make the formulation of the rest easier"
 He said agreement on the covenant had given the conferees a feeling that thelr work was to be permanent and that the most practical among them

The President, mounting 10 the Vicye presidents seat, spoke briefly with Vice President Marshall as the cheering continued, punctuated with ''rebel' yells.
