 Washington, Aug. 29.-The treaty of peace was aggresslvely assalled by it's senate fores again today, the foreign relations committee ap proving three more teXtual amend ments to it's provisions, and Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, a republican member of the committee and for mer secretary of state, advising the senate that the only safe way to deal with it was to reject it altogether.
 Acting by vote of 9 to 8 in each case, the committee, adopted with cut extended debate amendments de- signed to equalize British and Amer ican representation in the League of Nations, to prevent the British do- minions from participating in Lea que decision affecting any one of them, and to curtail the power of the American representative on the reparations commission, which IS to collect Germcny's reparations lbillA
 Democratic committee members presented solid, front against all of the proposals and were joined by Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, who also voted against the two amendemnts adopted prior to today's session. Only one proposed amendment now remains on the com- mittee's calendar, though others may be presented when consideration of the subject is resumed early next week. a~ # 4}ssf ;}aF1$ $s''st' sT5s% ~

 During the day another of the treaties negotiated at Versailles was sent to the senate by President Will son. It was the treaty made with Poland by the principal powers and signed on June 28. With it the pre- sident sent an agreement for occu- nation of the Rhine signed by the United States and other powers on the same day.
 Submission of the Polish treaty the Rhine agreement and other date was requested in letter sent to the white house several days ago by the foreign relations committee, but to this request the president made no reference in his letter of transmittal. Attention was called to the subject however, in a brief statement by Chairman Lodge in the senate, and later MT. Lodge made public the let ter of rquest, saying that the data asked for was a mart of the treaty with Germany and was essential in committee consideration of that treaty.
 The data called for and not re- ceived by the committee included an other and previous Rhine agreement and any available drafts of the treaties now under negotiation with Austria. Bulgaria, Turkey and Hun gary. Committee members pointed out also that long statement by M Clemenceau, as president of the peace conference. attached to British and French official copies of the Polish treaty, was not included in the copy sent in today bv the president. A British print of still another Versailles treaty. an air convention between the United States and var ious nations. was put into the senate record by Senator Knox. An ex- p1anatorv note heading the conven- tion said it had not been signed but was being given to the public fo1 their information. MT. Knox said this plan apparently had been follow ed out in every country except the United States.
 Covenant to Stay.
 The two amendments adopted to. day regardino representation in the League of Nations constituted tht first action to be taken on the Lea gue covenant. and were regarded a: indicating that no attempt would Dc made by the committee majority. tt strike out the covenant altogether would be no further amendment o' that part of the treaty.. but that re servatinns to it would be recommend ed to the senate.
