Changes in Speech

WASHINGTON, July o President
Wilson spent all OF the first day after
his return to Washington. in revising
and putting the finishing touches on the
address he is to make tomorrow in lay -
ing the German peace before the senate.
1t was understood that the president
made several changes in tho speech.
While the presidents itinerary for his
speaking tour over the country has not
been completed. II was said Mr.. Wilson
would review the newly organized Paci-
nc fleet at San Francisco. 1t is expected
that the review will be the occasion OF
naval pageant greater than any ever
before witnessed on the IaCidc coast
Late today the president still had on
his desk appropriation bills recently
passed by congress. lie had been unable
TO consider them because Of being oblig-
cd 10 devote his undivided time TO his
address.
While house officials said that because
Of the extraordinary bulkincss of the
peace treaty itself il was doubtful
whether il could be printed for general
distribution by the time il is presented
tomorrow TO the senate. The president
brought but one copy Of the document
with him TO the United States. After
working steadily all day. the president

before the end Of the week.
VIII Make Treaty Public.
The plan tonight was for tsc Senate,
as soon as the president has finished
speaking tomorrow, to order the treaty
printed in the Congressional Record and
as n public document. This will reverse
another precedent, the practice having
been to consider unratiiied treaties as
confidential
The Senate plans to adjourn until
Monday as soon Us il has heard tho pres
idcnt's address and has referred the
treaty to committee and ordered 1t
printed.
Although there has been little discus
sion regarding the new treaty with
France by which that nation would be
promised American aid in case of an un-
provoked attack by Germany. the genera
expectation is that il also WI - pre-
scented by the president and will take
the same course as the treaty with Ger
many.
Irrespective of whether he goes before
the Foreign Relations committee. Demo-
cratic leaders in the Senate and members
OF the committee will have full oppor-
tunity to confer with the president.
To Meet Senators.
According to plans tonight, Mr.. Will
son will confer with many senators to-
morrow. probably Immediately after he
leaves the Senate chamber. lie also
probably will have opportunity to talk
briefly TO some Of the committee members
when they go to the White House in the
| morning to escort him to the capitol.
The House will not be in session while
the president is speaking having agreed
today to meet at p. m. so members
can be in the Senate to hear the chief

The presidents first day at the White
| House since he returned from France
was q long and busy one. After Sleep
ing late, he went to his desk soon after

sions, he remained uninterruptcdly at
work. Bills. carrying with them appro-
priations Of more than two billion dol
| lars were before him, but he apparently
was unable 10 find time to consider
