 That is why, in advertising this sale. we simply advertise the event and not the merchandise which it represents. People

BOTH GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN
TREATIES HANG IN BALANCE

Paris-This has been an anxious day
throughout peace conference circles,
with both the German and Austrian
treaties in the balance, and every eff
fort is being made toward early and
united action.
The council OF four considered the
Austrian treaty in the morning to
complete the military and reparation
terms. which were omitted when the
document was delivered Monday. Lat.
er, the council turned to the German
counter proposals and called in ex
perts.
Many private conferences were also
going on, including one between Colo
mel House. OF the American delega-
ton, and A. ]. Balfour, British foreign
secretary, all seeking to clarity the
situation and determine the course of
action.
The prevailing view OF those taking
part was hopeful OF early and salts
factory results. They admitted that
the conditions were difficult and that
the differences were rather sharply
drawn. but insisted that there was
nothing like ar impasse or anything
threatening an agreement.

SENATE DIRECTS
AN INVESTIGATION
HOW DID PEACE TREATY COME
INTO HANDS OF OUTSIDERS
IN NEW YORK;
FULL TEXT IS NOW DEMANDED
Resolutions Were Adopted Just After
(, Dramatic Clash Between Senators
Hitchcock and Lodge.

Washington. Resolutions asking
the state department for the text of
the treaty with Germany and direct
ing the foreign relations committee to
investigate how copies OF the unpub-
lished document have reached private
hands in New York were adopted by
the senate without roll call.
Action on the two proposals came
unexpectedly during lull in the
stormy debate hey had aroused, and
scarcely score of senators were in
the chamber, when in quick success
sion, the resolutions were put to a
vote. Their passage ITSELF however,
was no surprise, as it generally had
been conceded that each would have
a majority.
Under the Investigation resolution,
introduced at the request of the
White House by Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, senior Democrat OF the for
eign relations committee, it is ex-
pected that a far-neaching inquiry will
begin within a few days.
Adoption OF the Hitchcock resolu.
tion came first, just after the debate
had reached dramatic climax in a
clash between Mr.. Hitchcock and
Chairman Lodge, OF the foreign rela.
tions committee. After this clash a
request by Mr.. Lodge that the senate
substitute an investigation resolution
was withdrawn.
