great quantity OF documentary material
about the proceedings Of the Paris con-
ference. None OF II has yet been for
warded nor has any word been received
from the State Department as TO
whether II will be forthcoming. The de-
lay Is not regarded as necessarily indl-
eating that tho information will be de-
MED, but the fate OF other resolutions
asking information, documents and the
like under the present Administration
has been such as to cause no wonder
ment in this case.
Senator Moses IN. H. will speak to-
morrow on the peace terms and II is
promised that his remarks will be OF

of the treaty and determined exactly

participate in administrative duties. and
the list Is described as most impressive.
Harrison AssaiIs League Foes.
Senator Harrison ,Miss.) delivered a
speech to-day on the treaty and the
League of Nations. devoting himself es-

United States Senators there would have
been ninety-six different treaties. 1t
should not be surprising II there were
not certain important provisions of this
treaty which were strenuously objected
