PARIS, Nov. l5.-The French For

to the German peace treaty in the
American Senate as constituting a
question o. extreme delicacy, and the
Office is not disposed at present to
make any official statement. Never

that the French government would be
disposed to accept reservations by the
Amer can Senate which would not re-
quire France and its allies to reopen
questions already settled by the pleni-
potentiaries.
On the other hand they hold that
any Senate amendment compromising
the essential bases of the Versailles
treaty, textually ratified bv the Allies
and Germany, could not be favorably
accepted by the Allies.
They declare the French policy

Chinese Loan a Renewal
$50, 100000 Credit From U. S
Group Carries Option

PEKlNG. Nov. 9 (By The Associated
Press. )-(Delayed.)-Fuller informa-
ton now available shows that the
$50 100000 loan which China recently
signed with an American banking
group represented by the Continental
Commercial! Bank of Chicago, was pro-
vided for under wine and tobacco
loan contract, signed by John j. Alb
bolt, vice president of the bank, and
the Chinese government IN Novembe
1916. The terms of this contract gave
the banks sixty days option on all
seture loans which the Chinese gov
eminent might wish to raise on this
security.
Consequently, the present loan is a
continuation of an old agreement
rather than q newly negotiated tran
saction. Moreover, the agreement,
provides safeguards on the expendi-
ture of the money, while an American
adviser will be appointed to the wine
and tobacco bureau.
