Judge Crump Is now considering

 And it is this treaty or no treaty, he added. Tt is this treaty because there can be no other.
 This settlement is &he first interna- tional settlement that is based upon the happiness of the average people through out the world. It is peoples treaty, and I venture the prediction that it is not wise for parliaments and congresses to alter it.''
 "It is a severe treaty, the President went on, but justly so."
 Some of the men who had called II unduly harsh, he added were criti- cizing the administration ~year ago because they thought the United States would be a milksop with Germany

SPEAKS AT BILLINGS

Billings, Mont, September n.-Laylng his appeal for the peace treaty before the people of Montana today, President Wilson declared the question of it's rat ification was question whether ths United States would fulfill it's pledges to the people and to the world.
 There were two addresses on his days programme, MT. Wilson speaking at the Billings auditorium before noon, so that he could reach Helena in time for a meeting at night He arrived here from Bismarck, N. D., only short time be- fore the hour for his address. At the auditorium he found all of the 5000 seats had been taken and many standing.
 Mayer Mains introducing the President said that where man went across the sea and did the major portion of the work of ''righting the whole world s troubles.'' he was some man.
 Tells from the crowd greeted this declaration, and there were more cheers when the mayors little daughter pre- sented bouquet to Mrs. Wilson.
 Mir. Wilson said he had come west Ito consult with the people,' in the light of circumstances which affected the whole world. Everywhere, he declared, the human heart beats the same. and on both sides of the ocean there was a sincere desire that there should be no more war
