OF the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Those Senators who consented to dis
cuss tho treaty at all were impressed
with the manner in which the League
OF Nations covenant had been woven
into the treaty proper. They were not
surprised, however. since there had been
frequent announcement from Paris that
this was to be done.
Another feature that proved interest
ing concerned the taking effect of the
treaty, 1t having been pointed out that
the first nation to sign after Germany
accepts the pact would be first to end
the state of war" and therefore first
In position to resume commercial rela-
lions with Germany. It was pointed out
that this would mean a considerable adj
vantage to first signers.
DanEie the First Gree city"
1t was shown also that Danzig under
the terms will occupy unique position
being the first free city" Attention
also was called to the fact that no
reference was made concerning the re-
turn of Shantung TO China. but it is
understood there is n "gentlemen's
agreement" on this point.
Forcing Germany to recognize Great
Britain's sovereignty over Egypt Is re-

Army officers and others scanned the
terms industriously to learn Just how
they will affect the United States, and It
was the conviction of the army men
that the future OF American military
policy was closely linked with the terms
and that the policy of the coming years
must be based on the treaty provisions.
1t Is regarded as likely that the Presi-
dent will define his ideas as to future
American military policy when he ad-
dresses Congress upon his return.
IN army and diplomatic circles here
the treaty is looked upon as foreshadow-

opinion that the statesmen at Paris had

All the market stalls were hurriedly

The vegetable vendors placed their

HOOVER POLICY CUTS
PARIS FOOD PRICES
American Energy Already Is
Shouting Good Results.

SNppb"' AsASs uH TVNtS ftocTCcu.
PARIS, Aug. 12.-The process of re-
ducing the cost of living is making good
progress here. New energy seems to
have been injected into the war against
profiteering by the recently appointed
Food Minister, who adopted some Hoo
yer suggestions and is executing them
In real American fashion.
The latest measure to 60 into effect
provides for the compulsory tagging or
labelling Of all merchandise whether
sold from a pushcart or in a department
store. Merchandise is divided by law
into two classes-that which sells at
normal prices, which are fixed by the
State, and that selling at abnormal
rates, profiteering prices.
Both series OF goods must be clearly
marked as to price, thus giving the con-
sumer the choice of his market, and to a
large'extent the cost of living is reduced
to those who wish to have it So Special
squads of vigilant agents have been or
ganized by the police prefectures, which
will supervise the price marking.
Violations of the new decree are to
be punished with severe fines and i'm
prisonment. From all parts of the coun-
try come reports OF energetic organiza-
tion of consumers into leagues for fight
ing speculation and profiteering. There
are visible signs that these leagues al
ready have driven many dealers to the
wall.
