dlate aid Of the United States Of
America In case Of an unpro-
voked movement Of aggression
against her on the part Of Ger
many.
l earnestly hope that this treaty
will meet with your cordial approval
and will receive an early ratification
at your hands. along with the treaty
Of peace with Germany. Now that
you have had an opportunity to ex
anime the great document / present
ed to you two weeks ago. 1t seems
opportune to lay before you h 1 q
treaty. which is meant to be in cffec,
a part Of II.
1t was signed on the same day with
the treaty Of peace and is intended as
a temporary supplement to 1t. 1t Is
believed that the treaty with Ger
many itself provides adequate protec

from her recent enemy on the east
but the years Immediately ahead OF
us contain many incalculable posi-
bilities.

with France. which l now submit tc
you. Is to provide for immediate mil
itary assistance to France by tn g

voked movement OF aggression
against her by Germany without
waiting for the advice of the counse
Of the league Of nations that such
action be taken. 1t 3 to be an ar
rangement not independent Of I h Z

1t Is therefore expressly provided
that this treaty shall be made the
subject of consideration at the same
time with the treaty OF peace with
Germany; that this special arrange
ment shall receive the approval oil
the council of the league; and thai
this special provision for the safety
Of France shall remain in force only

WELCOME HOME
I At SPOTSWOOD
Big Celebration for Returned
b Service Men on Labor Day

81 Special Correspondent
SPOTSWOOD, Aug. 29|Spotswood
will be In gala attire on Monday next
when the residents give all the re-
turned soldiers and sailors, who took
part in the war or were at camp, a
big welcome homo demonstration.
1t is expected that nearly forty
will be present as all are home from
service with the exception of a few.
Tho committee having the affair
In hand have planned a busy time
for the boys. Baseball, speechmaking
and a big supper to be brought to q
close by a dance in Whitney Hall are
on the program. A Jazz band will be
present to put pep into the dancing.
The committee have decided not
to give a medal but will arrange for
a memorial in the shape of a tablet
of some kind to be erected on the
public school lawns, with the names
of all SpotSwood boys who entered
the service from this town.
The festivities will open at $3.50
when the first number on the pro-
gram will be put on. b local base
ball team will play a game with the
State Home for Boys, at which ad-
mission will be free. Following the
game there will be a concert by the
Home band. All will then repair to
Whitney Hall where another concert
will be given by the Home band. The
opening number will be the singing
OF the "Star Spangled Banner led
by the school children; the invocation
will be offered by the Rev. Charles
BIoodgood, pastor of the Reformed
church. Mayor Peter Schweikert will
make an address of welcome to the
boys. This will be followed by an
other patriotic song, led by the school
children. Rev. Thomas Easton, DID,.
q general favorite of the boys in town
and past eighty years, will deliver an
address, probably his last public ap-
on the speaking platform
as he has retired as pastor Of the
local Reformed church. America
will be sung. The benediction will
be offered by Rev. Phillips, pastor OF
ST. Peters Episcopalian church or
this place. a>
Following the exercises in the hall
the boys will then be taken to the
basement OF Whitney Hall where a
supper will be served that will be
easily the big number on the pro-
gram. All that the land affords will
be served by the mothers, sisters,
sweethearts and friends of the boys.
The room will be appropriately dec
GRATED for the affair.
The last number on the program
will be the jazz dance to be held in
Whitney Hall from 8 until the boys
get tired out.
There will be q baseball game In
the morning between Helmetta and
Spotswood. This will be independent
of the celebration but all soldier boys
will be admitted free. The usual
marlborough rivalry is developing
that had the fans all unstrung some
wears ago and the locals will be
padded for this game and intend to
let the visitors know there has been
q game. |
