FRANCE DELIGHTED
WITH TRIPLE PACT
Marshal Foch Held Out for
Adequate Military Protection.
By fAe Assoc1ofed Press.

PARIS, May S.-The engagement for
Joint action by the United States and
Great Britain to assist France in case
Of an unprovoked attack excited greater
interest and satisfaction In French Of
fetal and military quarters than the
treaty. 1t is understood to have been
the elimination of conferences held by
Premier Clemenceau~ and Marshal Foch.
The latter took the advanced military
view for complete defensive protection,
and the Premier sought to reconcile this
with the more moderate view held In
the conference, and emphasized the diff
ficulties attendant upon Joint action by
the United States and Great Britain.
The announcement OF the proposed
joint action by those two countries has
the effect OF harmonizing the views OF
NJ, Clemenceau and Marshal Foch on
the adequacy OF French security against
Ger many
Several plans for Joint military action
by the United States, Great Britain an.
France were considered before the pres
ent proposal was adopted. The FIRST
plan was to insure joint action under
the covenant of the League of Ma
tons. which provided that the leagues
council will determine what military and
naval action should be taken against
States breaking the covenant 1t was
believed that the council, under this au.
thority, could decide upon joint action
by the United States, Great Britain
and France as an appropriate form of
defence against any resumption OF war
fare on the part OF Germany.
This plan was abandoned for the pres
ent engagement, which Ia in the form OF
letter to be submitted to the United
States Senate and the British Parlla-
ment 1t is understood that the letter
requires approval by the United States
Senate In order TO make the pledge eff
fectlve. and II this approval is given by
resolution or otherwise. the engagement
would then be submitted for approcal to
the League OF Nations Council
Those close to President Wilson main
tain the engagement is not an alliance
and therefore not inconsistent with the
principles of the League Of Nations

WAsHTNGroN, May S.--As President
Wilson will not be present at the OPEN

May 10. he will able his message from
Paris and il will be read Immediately
after Congress convenes. This was an
nounced to-day at the White House.
Gable advices received at the White
House to-day indicated that the Presi-
dent would not hasten his return TO
Washington because OF the extra ses-
sion. There was no intimation as to
when he expected to return to the United
States. but the general belief now is that
this will not be before June /.
Not within the memory OF the Oldest

this would be the first time that the
Executive had ever sent his message to

suspicion continues we will have this
agitation and this profound discomfort

there was the condition under the old

was practically certain on so Ions a
trip, but which they hoped to surmount
as the burning OF the wings of the NC-1.

the order stated, "'the others will hover

that the wind would be against him part
