Parents Oyerjoyed.

Hutchinson, Minn., Aug. 19.-Sam- uel G. Peterson, father of Lieut. H. G. Peterson was overjoyed when in- formed early today of the safe return of his son across the border to the American side.
 "I consider that the army acted promptly and did everything in their power to help us,' he said "The rais- ing of the $15, ,000 ransom by the cow boys in Texas was an example of true Amer.canism of which I am proud. Their action may have saved the life of my boy and his comrade. Certain Iy now that the Mexican rebels have captured and held for ransom office rs of the United States army the govern ment cannot let bandit acts pass un- noticed. Capture of United States army officers by bandits surely strikes at the heart of the government"

NEW PRECEDENT IN
 HISTORY OF TREATY
Dramatic Developments, At tendant Upon Conclusion
 of Peace, at White House.

&F Washington, Aug. 19.-Under con- ditions without precedent in the his tory of American treaty-making, President Wilson and the senate for eign relations committee arranged to meet today in the Blue Room of the White House to talk over the treaty with Germany and it's League of Nations covenant
 Besides presenting one of the most dramatic developments attendant up- on the conclusion of peace, the meet ing esta blished a new milestone in the trend toward publicity in treaty consideration. Figuratively, the door of the conference was wide open. Ex- pert stenographers had been provided to turn out for the public in short relays a word-for- word record of all that transpired.
 In asking for today's appointment, the committee accepted the invita- ton extended informally by Mir. Will son soon after he submitted the treaty to the senate. The committees re- quest said certain information was de- sired and members preferred that they be not required to hold in confi- dence anything the president might say. To this latter suggestion, .he presidents decision to have stenog- raphers present was a sequel.
 More than one witness questioned by the committee including Secretary Lansing have declared the president personally negotiated details of the league of nations covenant and the Shantung provision and that he alone of the American delegates could give some of theinformation desired
 As a. conseauence the members framed their questions to cover par ticularly these two features of the treaty. There were many other provi- sions, however, on which it was plan ned to ask for light.
 The president had set 10 o'clock as the hour for beginning the confer ence and the committee mem bers had arranged to go to the White House separately. There are members of the committee including q Senators Lodge, Mass, chairman; Brandegee, Conn, Knox, Pa,, republicans.
