SPECIAL TREATY
WITH FRANCE Is
TRANSMITTED TO
SENATE OF u. s.

Urges Ratification of Pledge
to Aid Republic in Case of
German Attack
DIFFERENT THAN ONE

Come Immediately While
Great Britain Signed Con
sent to Assist French
DIFFERENT THAN ONE
SIGNED BY ENGLAND
BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, July 20. - President
Wilson to-day transmitted to the
Senate the special treaty with
France by which the United States
pledges itself to come Immediately
to the aid of that republic in the
event of an unprovoked attack by
Germany, and asked for its early
ratification ''along with the treaty
with Germany"
Submission of the treaty came af-
ter sharp criticism by Senate Re
publicans, who for several days had
openly charged on the Senate floor
that in 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 did not follow his US
ual custom of presenting the treaty
in person. He sent it to the capitol
by special messenger along with a
message explaining its object.
Bound Immediately"
The Franco-American treaty is
almost identical with one signed be-
tween Great Britain and France.
One difference between the texts as
made public by the French Foreign
Office to which attention has been
called is that the United States
pledges itself to go "immediately" to
the assistance of France while Great
Britain consents" to assist that
country.
The President told the Senate the
purpose of the treaty was to provide
assistance for France in case of un-
provoked aggression by Germany
without waiting for the advice OF
the council of the League of Ma
tions that such action should be
taken, and explained that it was to
be an arrangement not independent
of the League of Nations, but under
it,"
THE covenant of the League OF
Nations" the President said, PRO
vides for military action for the pro-
lection of it's members only upon
the advice of the council of the
league - advice given, it is to be
presumed. only upon deliberatior
ernments of the member states only
if its own judgment justifies such
action"
Moved by Friendship
Pointing out that the treaty "shal
receive the approval of the council
of the league" the President said il
would remain in force only until
upon the application of one of the
parties to it, the council of the
, league, acting, if necessary, by q
majority vote, shall agree that the
provisions of the covenant of the
league afford her (France) sufficient
protection"

sign the treaty by the ties of friend.

Big Sums to Be Spent
For improvements to Mine

To pay for improvements to ne
made to the mines of the Susque-
hanna Galleries Company in Will
liams and Wiconisco townships, the
mortgage of $9,o00,00o against
that firm has been increased to
S11,900, 900, according to NJ. E.
Stroup, local counsel for the coal
company. The new mortgage was
filed yesterday. 1t is entered as i
lien against all the land owned BY
the company both in this and ad-
jacent counties. 1t is understood
copies of the mortgage are to oc
recorded in other counties.
The improvements which are
planned for the mines in this coun-
ty include the driving of a tunnel
at Big Lick to replace the open
ings in use at Lykens and Williams
town, thus affording one main en-
trance to the mine. Mr.. Stroup said
that these changes are being made
in order to reduce the cost of min
ing so that the holdings in Dauphin
county can be worked at a profit,
instead of q loss.

Gentlemen of the Senate:
IT take pleasure in laying before you Treaty
with the republic of France, the object of which is
to secure that republic of the immediate aid of the
United States of America in of any urprovoked
movement of aggression against her on the part of
Germany. I earnestly hope that the Treaty will
meet with your cordial approval and will receive
early ratification at your hands, along with the
Treaty of Peace with Germany.
Now that you have had opportunity to exam
irre the great document presented to you two
weeks it opportune to lay before you this
Treaty. which is meant to be in effect part of it.
To Help France
'It signed the day with the Treaty
ment to it. believed that the Treaty of Peace
with Germany itself provides adequate protection to
France against aggression from her recent erremy
on the east but the years Immediately ahead of
contain many incalcuable possibilities. The cove
nant of the League of Nations provides for military
advice of the Council of the League-advice gveri
it is to be presumed, only upon deliberation and
acted upon by each of the governments of the
member states only if its own judgment justifes
such action. The object of the special Treaty with
France, which ! submit to you, is to provide
for immediate military assistance to France by the
United States IL: case of any unprovoked movement
of aggression against her by Germany without
wait'r~ for the advice of the Council of the League
of that such action will be taken. 1t is to
be ngement not independent of the League
OF but under it.
In Force Until Danger Passes
1T is, therefore, expressly provided that this
Treaty shall be made the subject of consideration
the same time with the Treaty of Peace with Ger
many; that this special arrangement shall receive
the approval of the Council of the League and that

remain in force only until, upoF the application of
of the parties to it, the Council of the League,
acting, if necessary, by majority vote shall agree
that the provisions of the covenant of the League

Nothing Can Pay Debt

tions which will, hope, seem persuasive and

antagorsisms forgotten. The common cause of
freedom and enlightenment has created a
radeship and new perception of what it is wise
and necessary for great nations to do to free the
world of intolerable fear. Two governments who
wish to be members of the League of Nations ask
leave of the Council of the League to be permitted

waiting the advice of the League to act.
"It is by taking such pledges this that we prove
