He explained that the situation in
France seemed to require a special tenn.
porary pact, under which the United
States and Britain volunteered to antici-
pate action of the league Of nations by
going Immediately to the sid Of France
should Germany strike.
He made IL plain that as soon as the
league council shall decide that the
league itself is sufficient guarantee Of
Frances s safety, the special treaty will
no longer remain inforee.
- League Not Questioned.
The president emphasized thnt there
is no doubt, expressed or implied, in
France 5 urgent request for the special
treaty of the ultimate efficacy of the
league. But, he added, "thc years I'm
mediately ahead of us contain many in.
caleulable possibilities. +"
He explained how the league is EN-.
powered only to advise military sction
by members; how that might involve
delay which, in the case Of surprise at
tack by Germany, might prove fatal.
The United States, the president
pointed out, owes France a special debt
Of gratitude which we can never fully
repay, but this treaty, he urged, will be
an expression in the fullest sense of our
gratitude for French help in winning
our independence.
Urges Early Action.
II was this, he said, which moved him
as much as anything else to sign the
treaty.
The president took occasion to urge
early ratification, not only of this spe
cial treaty, but of the peace treaty as
we'll.
The president Is messenger arrived az
the senate chamber soon after the sen.
ate met. II was not until an hour later
that Senator Lodge found opportunity

Where Fighting Was
Fast and Furious.

Df. w. l. Lowe, who was recently
/ discharged from the American Red
cross with the rank of major, spoke
at the First Baptist church Sunday
night and related some of his ex-
perienoes while in France.
DR.. Lowe left here for France in
January, 1918, where he entered the
service Of the Red Cross. He says:
Il was sent to Toul to a French
evacuation hospital and did some
very interesting work there. Next, l
was sent to Chateau-Thierry and that
was the most horrible part Of my ex-
periences. We worked all day and
all night with nothing to boost us up
but the wonderful courage of our
boys who were always in the best of
spirits, and never complained

Next | was sent to st. Mihiel to
get ready for the drive at that place.
We erected seven hospitals there, and
the Red Cross furnished a great deal
of the equipment for them. l knew
capain Of engineers, and l went
with him up in the lines the night
the barrage began, and as there was
not much resistance from the Ger
mans after the first two hours, we
worked our way up through the big
lines of guns, and went forward to
where the boys were waiting to go
over the top" | spent two hours
with them. and | want to say that
this trip alone was worth my year III

going out on a big frolic and were

'"rhat day, probably more than
any other, wa 81 proud that I was an
American and had such boys as these
for friends. | do not believe that the
American people yet realize how
proud they should be Of the Ameri-
can boys in France.
"Next | was sent to the ArgCnne
sector where the dough boy had his
hardest fight They were given that
cart of the lines which the Germans
knew if he lost his army would be
cut to pieces. The Americans went
into the fight knowing all these
things, but they never hesitated once
All of Europe knew that was the de-
cisive battle of the war.

"They suffered many casualties;
Our hospital handled about 210oo
cases, but none of these boys ever

where we had cases of influenza.

the nurses and aids. We do not
hear much of them. Their work was
very hard and trying and they some
times had to be relieved, but during
all my work in France, | never once

DR.. Lowe went to his former home
in Monticello yesterday where ne
will spend few days before entering
