Almost Identical With Treaty
Between France And Great

To France In Case Of

Washington, July 29.--Prehden,
Wilson today transmitted to the sen.
ate the special treaty with France by
which the United States pledges itself
to come immediately to the aid OF
that republic lin the. event OF an un-
provoked attack by Germany and
asked for Its early ratification along
with the treaty with Germany b
Submission Of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by Senator Lodge
Republican, who for several days had
openly charged on the senate floor
thatsin failing to present the draft of
the pact along with the treaty of
Versailles the president had violated
one OF the articles Of the document.
The president sent the treaty to the
capital by; special messenger along
with message explaining its object.
Z The Franco o-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed be-
tween Great Britain and France. One
difference between the texts as made
public by the French foreign oiice to
which attention has been called Is
that the United States pledges itself
to 20 "immediat4ly", to the assistance
of France while Great Britain con-
sents'' to assist that country. /.
