YANKS STAY ON RHINE
WILL REMAIN UNTIL GERMANS,
DELIVER WAR SUPPLIES.
President Wilson Extremely Gratified
That Peace Treaty Was Ratified
So Promptly.

Washington, July 12.-President
Wilson, comforting with newspaper
correspondents at the White House,
indicated that he was extremely graft
fed that the treaty of peace had been
ratified so promptly by the German
national assembly.
1t was made clear that the presi-
dent felt troops should be maintained
in Germany until the Germans had
complied with all the military terms
of the treaty. 1t was pointed out that
there were several million veteran sol
diers in Germany and munitions sutti-
cient for them to operate.
The Germans have from one to four
months in which to deliver all male
rial except that sufficient for the re-
duced German army provided for in
the peace treaty, and the president
believes American troops should stay
on the Rhine until the material is
delivered.
Discussing the peace negotiations at
Paris, President Wilson let it be known
that the League of Nations covenant
will be in every treaty negotiated at
Versailles, including that with Bull
garia, with which country the United
States never was at war.
The president made it clear that de-
mobilization of the American army
would depend upon the speed with
which the military conditions of the
peace treaty were executed by Ger
many and the treaty was ratified by
the various governments.
Mr.. Wilson feels that the United
States must play generous part in
the reconstruction of Europe, but he
believes this should be accomplished
by establishing some sound basis of
credit rather than by direct govern
ment aid.

members of your crew upon your safe
return after completion of the most
memorable and unique transatlantic
voyage in history"
at was a grand flight" Major Scott
said. There were some thrills but
no mishaps. The flight convinces me
that transoceanic flying will be reg
ular thing within six years. Friday we
were lost all day in a heavy fog. We
couldn't see the moon, sun or stars.
The sea was out Of sight, too. We got
along fine, though, except for the lack
of hot water. We flew over Liverpool
at 5000 feet. The cloud effect at that
distance was wonderful"

The statesmen of all the belligerent

league must be created to sustain the
settlements that were to be effected.
But at first | think there was feel
ing among some of them that, while
it must be attempted, the formation Of
such a league was perhaps counsel
of perfection which practical men,
long experience in the world Of affairs,
must agree to very cautiously and
with many misgivngs.
II was only as the difficult work of
arranging an all but universal adjust
