Washington, Oct. 81. - Taking
notice of reports that the United
States might aid in carrying out pro-
visions of the Peace Treaty in ad-
vance of the Treaty's ratification by
the Senate, the administration an
nounced yesterday that American

must wait until the Senate had acted.
At the State Department it was

commissions set up by the Treaty,
and at the War Department it was
made clear that no American troops
would be used without Senate sane

Treaty provides for plebiscite un-
der the military supervision of the
great powers.

made simultaneously and generally
