TREATY SPELLS
VAR,NOT Peace.
ASSERTS KNOX
Lays Foundation for Cen
turies of Blood Letting
Says Senator
.STIRS ANTACONISM
OF CAPITAL LABOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. % Omitted
Press. 1.-The treaty now before the
senate IS merely 'the truce OF Yer
Sailes," not a treaty of lasting peace ;
IL does not spell peace but war-war
more wOeful and devastating than the
one Just closed; Il "lays the fOunda-
tiOn for centuries Of blood letting"
This characterization Of the pending
treaty was presented 10 the Senate to-
day by senator Knox, Pennsylvania, in
speech in which he stated that "the
more l consider this treaty, the more
am convinced that the only safe way
for us 10 deal with u is TO decline 20 be
a party 10 IL at ALL"
As the facts concerning the treaty be-
come apparent 30 the American people.
Knox said, they may now hope TO see
the whole Of the great gaunt tragedy
into which those whom they had
charged with protecting them were
about to betray them"
Analyzing the treaty, provision by
provision, Knox declared 70 Is so harsh
on Germany that Il 'will Kill the golden
egg Of reparatlons, upon which the
lAlllEu UdAlNliS nave NUuuAfu ~ lluNlls
1T is a hard and cruel peace that this
treaty stipulates." he said. II have no
objections TO It's being so. but see no
reason why we, who do not parlake I'm
It's spoils, should become parties 10 its
harshness and cruelty. I see no reason
why we should be parties 10 imposing
upon Germany a treaty whose terms,
our negotiators say, she win not be
able to meet; that robs our ancient
friend China; that lays the foundation
for centuries OF bloodletting into which
we should not be drawn: that with
ominious words presages our inyoly-
ment in the eruption Of suppressed
volcanic world conditions"
Commenting upon the final section
Of the treaty. dealing with labor. Knox
declared that "either it will never be
as drawn and perhaps was
never intended TO be enforced as drawn,
but merely 10 be a sop thrown to la
Dor, or, II enforced as written and in
Ihe spirit It's provisions seem 10 carry

The President has spent most Of his
time since yesterday morning In going
over the draft submitted by his as
sisianis and revising II so he can aim
blows where he believes they are most
needed. Administration advisers have
been consulted about the wisdom OF
making speeches in certain localities.
The President, Il Is learned at the
White House. is pleased with the pros
pect OF having the treaty leave the
hands OF the Senate foreign relations
committee about the time ne starts his
trip. This Will enable him 10 carry on
a long distance debate with foes OF the
treaty. and refute on the platform ar
guments advanced on the floor Of the
senate. lie Is convinced that amend

opponents and bring the public opln-
ion Of constituencies TO bear in his

The President will 'eave the capital
much relieved at the turn national
problems have taken in the past few
days. lie is said to be particularly
pleased over the stand OF railroad
shopmen leaders, who have urged the
men to defer action for at least 90
days. and with the action Of brother
hoods chiefs in siding with the rail-
road administration in the strike dis
pute in the southwest.
He takes these things as an index
or labor's attitude.
The President is said also TO feel
that national labor leaders. now in
here with Samuel Gompcrs
will throw their influence in favor OF
his plan for an industrial truce, and

 TO ALAMEDA PILOT
The Alaska Steamship Company Has Agreed to a Raise in pay for Their
 Pilots.

The pilots strike has been settled as far as the Alaska Steamship Com pany is concerned. according to the pilot on the Alameda which was ir port yesterday.
 The company has conceded the pilots a salary of $2.400 a year Heretofore they have been paid at the rate of $200 month, while the boat on which they were engaged was running. Paid by the year, the pilot receives $200 a month, whether his ship is running or not.
 Though no word has been received by them, the local officials of the Pacific Steamship Company believe that their company has also met the demand of the pilots in the manner in which the Alaska Steamship Com pany has.
