Wilson Message Won't
Include Peace Treaty

PARIS, May II (By The Associated
Press) s).-President Wilson'S mes
sage, which will be cabled to Con-
gress on May 10, is expected to be
short. 1t is said it will not contain
the complete text of the peace treaty
or the proposed Franco American en-
gagement for joint military action
against Germany. both of these sub
jects being reserved for personal
presentation on the Presidents re-
turn.
The Presidents nearest associates
said to-day they we're unable to &C
count for reports published in the
French newspapers giving June Is
as the date for the Presidents de-
parture. They said the Presidents
plans were still dependent on the
signing of the treaty.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-It was
expected at the State Department to-
day that the complete text Of the
peace treaty with Germany would be
forwarded to Washington from Paris
by special courier and not by cable.
A considerable portion of the treaty
has already been received by cable,
but so many corrections have been
sent that there is doubt whether the
text is absolutely accurate.

Educational Influence

PARIS, May ~ (By The Associated
prsss).-President Wilson, in his ad-
dress to the French Academy of Moral
snd Political Science on Saturday en-
tered a strong disclaimer Of the idea
sbst the American people were largely
materialists, or dollar worshippers.
"I have had in recent months one
very deep sense of privilege" the Pres
;dent said. ~ have been keenly aware
that there have been times when the
neoples of Europe haven't understood
the people Of the United States. We
TOO often have been supposed to be
devoted chiey, if not entirely, to ma
terial enterprises. We have been sup
nosed. in the common phrase, to
worship the almighty dollar.
America Has High Ideals
1--WE have accumulated wealth, sir;
ue have devoted ourselves to material
enterprises with extraordinary success.
but there has underlain that, all
the time, a common sense of humanity
and common sympathy with the high
principles of justice, which never has
grown dim in the field even of enter"
prise; and it has been my very great
ioy in these recent months to interpret
the people of the United States to the
people Of the world.
81 have not done more, sir. have
not uttered in my public capacity my
own private thoughts; I have uttered
what I have known to be the thoughts
Of the great people whom | represent.
I have uttered the things that have
been stored up in their hearts and pur-
pose from the time of our birth as a
nation" =
1t was at this point that the Presi-
dent made his declaration that the
American people. who came into the
world consecrated to liberty, were
ready to cast in their lot in common
with the lot of those whose liberty is
threatened whenever the cause of lib
erty was seen to be imperilled.
Made Good With Their Blood
"This is the spirit Of the people of
the United States" he continued, "and
they have been privileged to send .
600 900 men over here to tell you so. 1t
has been their great privilege not
merely TO tell you so in words, but to
tell you so in men and material-the
pouring out of their wealth and the
Offering of their blood
President Wilson alluded to his
studies in the field of political science
and of the attempts he had made ''to
put into the words of learning the
thought of nation, the attitude of
people toward public affairs.
Many of my colleagues in Ameri-
can university life got their training,
even in political science. as so many
men in civil circles did. in German
universities" he said. I have been
obliged at various times to read a
great deal of bad German. difficult
German, awkward German. and | have

Opposes German Ideals

And it has been a portion of my
American university teachers from the
misguided instruction which they had
received on this side of the sea. Their
american spirit anticipated most of
shem, as matter of course, but the
Iorm OF the thought sometimes misled
them. They speak too often of the
state as thing which would ignore
the individual, as a thing which was
privileged to dominate the fortune of
men by sort of inherent and sacred
authority.

nave been able to accept that view of
the state. Ny view of the state is

negro was the signal for an attack.

The ambulance Of the Emergency
