COPY OF ORIGINAL U. s. DRAFT OF TREATY
SENT TO FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE

Washington. Aug. 11-President
Wilson sent to the foreign relations
committee today copy of the ORR
ginal American draft Of a League of
Nations covenant, but declined to
furnish other papers relating to the
peace negotiations asked for in Sen-
ate resolutions.
In reply to a committee request
for ''all data" used in preparation o.
the treaty. the president wrote that
most Of the documents and memoran-
da were left in Paris and that many
were of a confidential nature. so that
on grounds of public policy it
would be unwise to make use of
them" outside the conference. He
sent only the American covenant
draft and a copy Of the covenant rs
agreed to before his first return from
Europe.
To another resolution asking for q
copy Of the letter written by Gen.
Bliss regarding the Shantung pro-
blem, Mr.. Wilson replied that he re-
garded the letter as confidential
since it contained certain references
to other governments. He said the
communication in which Secretary
lansing and Henry White concur
red, took very strong ground"
against the proposed settlement Of
the question, but it is not properly
be described as a protest against the
Shantung decision"
Another development in the treaty
controversy today was the state
ment before the foreign relations
committee by Secretary Lansing
that Viscount Ishii, Japanese am
bassador to the United States had
concealed" the existance of the
secret treaty between Japan and
Great Britain regarding the Shan
tung peninsula while the Lansing
lshii agreement was being negoti-
ated.
The American League Of Nations
plan, made public for the first time,
revealed that the American delegates
had proposed a covenant confirming
in many particulars with that final
ly adopted but differing from it in
others.
Like the final draft, the American
plan contemplated a league council and
assembly dealing with "any war or
threat Of war;" an arbitration proceed.

modern standards, have been sold to
Coblenz foundry and are soon to be

recent war, several Of them having

ment favorable to the league.

Opposition to Time Change
is "Cussedness" of "Hands' .

Why do the farmers oppose the
daylight saving plan which will go
into effect all over the United States
Sunday morning at o'clock?
The chief reason, says county agent
Kline, is the 'cussedness" Of farm
hands. Hands and farmers alike, get
up just as early they can, and the
real time Of rising and going to work
will not be affected by the new time.
But the farmland is accustomed to
quit at five o'clock, and will keep on
doing so, and as five o'clock will be
four o'clock, in reality, the farmer
sees an hour Of productive work
wasted each day.
And the two hours, from four to
six are really the best hours of the
day for the farmer, Kline says. There
is no other reason for opposition, as
in any other way the new time affects
him very little.

TURN UP YOUR CLOCKS
ON RETIRING TONIGHT

The daylight saving law becomes
effective at 2 o'clock tomorrow
morning. II by that time you have
not set your clock one hour for
ward you are just an hour behind
time. The change is legal, congress
providing that we shall technically
have more daylight beginning to-
morrow.
The government suggests a very
simple plan for effecting the
change. For instance, when you
retire tonight set all clocks in your
home up one hour. When you rise
in the morning, you will have the
correct time. The decree by con-
gress does not specify at what hour
your clocks shall be turned up, but
does provide that 1t shall be done
at or before 2 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The government sug-
gests that business houses turn up
their clocks at the close of busi-
ness this evening so that they will
be correct at the beginning of busi-
ness Monday morning.
Church services will be held at
the usual hour, as they too, will
turn up their clocks. Ten o'clock
last Sunday morning will be 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, as far
as the clock and the hour of the
services are concerned. Those who
report at their places of business
at s a. m, the old time, on week
days, should be on hand at a. m.
Monday as wen.
The only confusing element in
the change is the fact that trains
will run an hour late after o'clock
Sunday morning. But remember
that hour late does not start until
2 o'clock!

EVENTS ABROAD
NOT TO AFFECT
ARMYS RETURN
Troops Coming Faster Than
Schedule Famous Divis-
ion Names to be Retained.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 29-Recent
events in Hungary, General March an
nounced have resulted in no change in
the military policy of the United
States so far as the war department
has been advised. Return of troops
from France is proceeding even faster
than scheduled originally, he said, and
nothing had occurred to interfere with
this movement
Troop movements homeward during
the month of March, General March
said, aggregated 244,1S6, against an
estimate previously made for the
month of 100000.
Retention Of the names of fourteen
national guard and national army di-
visions with brilliant war records in
the permanent military establishments
in order to preserve their traditions
was announced today by General
March. For this purpose in the twen-
ty-one divisions proposed to be organ
lied in the new army, fourteen will re-
ceive the following designations:
Twenty-sixth to be stationed at Camp
Devens; 9th, Camp Upton, N. Y;
2Sth, Camp Dix, N. j.; 29th, Camp
Meade, Md; 30th, Camp Jackson, S.
c.. 32d, Camp Custer, Mich; 33rd,
Camp Grant, ILL.,; 36th, Camp Travis,
Tex; 37th Camp Sherman, O.; S1st,
Camp Taylor, KY; SD, Camp Gordon,
Ga; 89th, Camp Funston, Kans.; 91st
Camp Lewis, Wash. First division,
Camp Pike, Ark; End, Camp Dodge,
Ia 3rd, Camp Lee, Va; 4th, Camp
Kearney, Cal. 5th, Panama canal
zone; 9Th, Honululu; 7th divided be-
tween Philippines, Alaska and Mexi-
can border.
Form Peace-time Army.
The AID (Rainbow) division win be
the cavalry division in the new organ
ization. 1t will be organized in the
southern department and its men will
be drawn from all the states, main
tanning in this respect the all-Ameri-
can character which was obtained in
the original organization.
The first to the seventh division
will retain the designation of the
regular divisions now in France,
comprising the first and second army
corps.
In each case where a division has
been given the designa ton OF a ma
tional guard and national army divis-
ion it will be recruited from the dis
tricts surrounding the camps named
as it's base and from which the origi-
nal division of that designation was
drawn.
In making this announcement, Cen
eral March said that the war depart
ment was proceeding with the organi-
zation of the army on the basis of
peace strength of 509,000 men. The
practical organization will comprise 5
army corps of 20 infantry divisions
and one cavalry division. Whether this
organization will become permanent
depends entirely upon future legisla-
ton.
