Senate Today.

On the Streets o {

PUBLIC IN BERLIN

Washington, jun ALTHOUGH the
senate tomorrow may pass Senator
Johnson's resolution, calling for the
release Of the complete text of the
peace treaty, that voluminous docu-
ment Will not be rerlhc omiuG imne-
diatels from thu state department
1t is admitted hat tnc treaty is all
here. but the state department is I'M
willing to pass 1t on TO the senate
without frs' receiving permission
from Parts. II is admitted in Paris
that copies Of the full treaty are now
being sold for fifteen cents each on
the streets in numerous German
cities. but the American commission
is unwilling to send word to the state
department TO release the treaty to
the American public because the
French and British governments do
not wish 1t made public at this time.
Botfi LLOYD George and Premier
Clemenceau. in their desire to con-
tinue the secrecy which envelopes the
treaty, are actuated by political mo-
public only after its acceptance by the
German delegates; then all the talk
inr or criticis,ng in the world Will not
be able to change the text in the
slightest degree, nor will it be able
to eradicate The signatures of the
German plenipotentiarics. In the in
terests OF harmony, undoubtedly
quests and the treaty remains a
secret all over the world except in
Germany.
The state department does not con-
cede the veracity Of the report. which
says copies of the treaty may be pur
chased for Is cents in Germany. al
though this report has been accom-
panied by additional details of the
terms of ~eace, and quite voiuminous
explanations Of what they naean- As

cernAd. 1t does not consider the

ncial 1t 10 said, until 1t Is released
from Paris.
One OF the big points in the senate
debate on the demand for the peace
treaty will hinge. IT is believed. on the
fact that the hands of the American
people are tied and their intellects
stifed, as far as consideration OF the
treaty roes, because two nations have
asked the American peace commits
sion to hold up publication OF the
treaty until the spokesman OF these
two nations give the signal for It's
release.
Independent action by the United
States which, II is recalled is not ally
but an Associated power" is there

pave the way for others which will
have as their substance the declara

Angeles plans call FOR recognition

received here:
l. The elimination OF any regular
army in Mexico, This means the dis.

characterization Of it's forces Angeles
contends that the history Of Mexico
has been replete with political soldiers
He believes its complete elimination
will end this sore In Mexico's history.
2. No military mAn-meaning \ man

the holder OF any military office--will
be permitted to be a candidate for

Angeles belief. the sole qualifications
