WILSON IS BLAMED
 ON TREATY SILENCE
Echo De Paris Makes This Assertion American Correspondents
 Blame Lloyd George.

Paris, May 26, (Havas. )-The Echo de Paris, today declares that it was on the request of President Wilson that the heads of the Allied and as- sociated powers have declined to per- init publication of the full text of the treaty presented to the Germans. President Wilson, the paper adds, foresaw inconvenience and risk in opening an important discussion in the United States during his absence.
 Dispatches from American corre- spondents in Paris have stated it was understood the chief opposition to making the treaty public came from Premier Lloyd George, although Pres ident Wilson later had approved the British premiers view. It was stated however, that while MT. Lloyd George was absent from Paris the week be- fore last the remaining heads tenta- lively agreed to the publication of the financial and territorial sections of the treaty owing to the demand of the French chamber of deputies to see the document.
 When Lloyd George returned he declined to give his approval to the plan, however, and it was abandoned.
 In the British house of commons on May 19 MT. Bonar Law, govern ment leader, stated the council of four for reasons which could not be disclosed considered the publication of the full peace terms undesirable

 "GOV. MARCUS H. HOLCOMB,
 "Connecticut State Chairman
 Unless New Britain goes over the top in the Salvation Army drive for $13,000 which closes tonight, Mayor George A. Quigley said this morning that the campaign will be extended two days. "The quota allotted to this city must be raised" said Mayor Quigley. New Britain, after patr1- otically responding to all war drives cannot go down in history as having failed to oversubscribe the Salvation Army quota.
 New Britain must go over the top," he continued. '"The Salvation Army not only stood behind the boys but went with our soldiers into the trenches. We cannot fail them at this time, The fund must be raised. The war has laid greater burdens and new obligations on the Salvation Army than it ever had before. There were approximately $500 men in the vari ous branches of the service from this citv and every one of these men were reached by the Salvation Army in one way or another.

requesting the president to sever dip

that the direction of government for

him alone.
