AND NAVY
AFFAIRS IN BRIT
AIN Being CLOSED
(By The Associated Press.)

London, July 21.-American army
and navy officers, who are trying to
close up the war financial transactions
between the United States and Great
Britain, hope to have their task CON-
pleted by September l. If that end is
reached, the majority of the seventy
five army officers and 200 men now here
will be sent home, and the navy force
will be reduced to few experts to tie
the last remaining strings.
The magnitude Of the task will be
appreciate when it is known that the
army alone bought 100000 tons of
equipment and supplies here and ship
ped them to France, while the navy
had large forces Of ships which were
constantly purchasing things from Bri-
tish warehouses.
Another element in the situation is
the slow and deliberate manner in
which the British render their bills.
One such bill received at army head
quarters recently amounted to $15O,00O
for supplies for the American troops
in northern Russia.
Civilian clerks are being released as
quickly as possible, and the 500 still
at work expect to be gone in two
American Red Cross activities also
are being closed up with all possible
speed, and it is possible the London
force will be reduced to few expert
and stenographers by Au-
gust l. They too are paying bills, but
one canteen and one hospital are still
in operation.

Washington, d. c., July 21.-Prompt
and unreserved ratification Of the peace
treaty with its League of Nations COW
enant was urged upon the senate today
by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, demo.
cratic member of the foreign relations
committee.
In an address crowded with constitu.
tional and legal arguments, Senator
Pomerene said that the league was not
a sure preventive of war and should be
amended as experience required. He
replied to statements of Senators Lodge
and Knox and former Senator Root,
and Chairman Hays Of the national re-
publican committee, by saying that
much of the opposition arises from a
spirit Of partisanship.
To Hold Eenmies.
Surely said the Ohio senator, IF
the treaty is ratified after the exper-
ience through whicn we have just pass
ed, sit,swiu, help sis,ssi our former enc
mics in the straight and narrow path
SO that the present plan can be modified
and improved to meet the requirements
of future experience and mature
thought.
II would not find serious fault with
some of the proposed amendments and
reservations If they did not mean de-
lay and consequently encourage the
revolutionary element.
Need Is Urgent.
During the war / voted for many
measures, not because would approve
Of them in time of peace, but because
felt that circumstances required them
May we not, for the same reason, rati-
fy the peace treaty? All of us recog-
nize how extreme present conditions
are, particularly in Europe. The spirit
Of revolution is running rife, not only
in eastern Europe and the Central
Powers, but to some extent among the
peoples of the allies.
Future German Aggression.
"Who knows that Germany is not
looking forward to the moment when
she may resume aggression against her
neighbors? Who doubts that certain
new nations-Poland, Czecho Slovakia
and JugO-Slavia--and other small in
dependent nations have not been able
to organize perfect and stable govern
ment?
II want to preserve the Monroe Doc
trine in it's entirety, but if l must
choose between the preservation of the
Monroe Doctrine and the League of Ma
tions, 1 should prefer the latter. For
tunately we are not driven to a choice.
We can have the protection Of the Mon
roe Doctrine and the League of Ma
tiOns, too
