Senator: Lodge Presents Text of
Rhine Agreement to the
Senate.
ARMY MAY NOT STAY
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
Should Prussians Prove Willingness
TO Fulfill Obligations the
Army May Be With
drawn.

Washington, Aug. IA copy of
a treaty between the "big five" pow
ers and Poland, said to have been
signed at Versailles on June %, was

Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela-
tons committee, who said it had been
submitted to the British parliament

The text of the agreement between
President Wilson and the representa-
government of the Rhine district also
was presented by Senator Lodge, who
said he had received a copy privately
after the document had been pre-
sented to the British parliament
Text of Agreement.
The text of the Rhine agreement as
presented by Senator Lodge follows:
"The allied and associated powers
did not insist on making the period
of occupation last until the repara-
ton clauses were completely execu-
ted, because they assumed that Ger
many would be obliged to give every
proof of her good will and every
necessary guarantee before the end
Of the Is years time.
GAS the cost of occupation involves
ar equivalent reduction of the amount
available for PREPARATIONS. the allied
and associated powers stipulated by
article 431 Of the treaty that if,
before the end of the 15-year per-
iod. Germany had fulfilled all her
obligations under the treaty. the
troops of occupation should be imme-
diately withdrawn.
eff Germany at an earlier date
has given proofs of her good will
and satisfactory guarantees to as
sure the fu1fillment of her obliga-
tions, the allied and associated pow
ers concerned will be ready to come
to an agreemnet between themselves
and for the earlier termination for the
period of occupation. Now and
henceforth. in order to alleviate the
burden of the reparation bill. thew
agree that as soon as the allied and
associated powers concerned are con-
WINGED that the conditions of disarm-
ament by Germany are being salts
factorily fulfilled. the annual
amount of the sums to be paid hv
GERMANY to cover the cost Of occu-
ration shall not exceed 240,OOO,On
marks gold. This provision can be
modified if the allied and associated
powers aoree as to the necessity of
such notifications.

This is Suggestion of President
Wilson to Members of
Congress.
WOULD ALSO ORDER
INCREASE IN RATES
House AbandOns Recess at REQUEST of
President to Consider Solution
of the Railroad
Problem.

Washington, Aug. IA new labor
crisis, growing out of the high cost of
living, is facing the railroad admin
istration. So pressing are the de-
mands Of the railroad Employees
for more pay to maintain their tsand-
ard of living that President Wilson,
following extended conferences with
Director General Hines, today, asked
the house of representatives to aban-
/ don a proposed recess Of five weeks,
beginning tomorrow and remain in
! Washington to consider the creation
of a commission which would deter
mine all questions concerning the
wages Of railway workers.
The house tonight, on the eve Of
it's planned recess, voted to comply
with the presidents request, which
had been endorsed by the republican
legislative steering committee at
special meeting.
Would Boss /. C. C.
TIL president took a new step in
railroad legislation in suggesting to
congress that the act to create the
commission should make the decis-
ions of that body mandatory upon
the rate-making body and provide,
when necessary, increased rates to
cover any recommended increases in
wages, and therefore in the cost Of
operating the railroads"
This was the first time that con-
gress was ever asked by the chief
executive to order the interstate
commerce commission to advance
rates. Mr.. Wilson's letter, addressed
to Chairman Esch and Cummings,
of the house and senate interstate
commerce committees, virtually
transfers to the floor Of congress, the
question of whether there shall be
an increase in transportation charges
long forecast by the steadily growing
deficit arising from the failure Of,
railroad income to equal the govern
ment guarantee.
! Discussion Of the traffic situation
before congressional committees re-
Gently has led to several suggestions
that congress should prescribe basis
for rate making. This, it has been
suggested, would be done by. the pas
sage of law requiring the. inter-
state commerce commission to adjust
rates from time to time in accord
ance with fluctuations in operating
expenses, so that investors would be
assured Of fair return on their
money.

Washington, Aug. l.
Developments today in the

luton postponing action in

With 35 Dead and 1900 Hurt
in Ri0ting, Quiet Again
Reigns.
MILITARY OFFICER
FEARS NEW OUTBREAK
Colonel LOrenzen Believes "Armed
Truce" Exists, and Thinks Only
Seizure of Arms Can Pre-
vent Trouble

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The Chicago
race war was virtually over, state and
city officials believed tonight, after a
day Of quiet, following five days of
rioting between negroes and whites
with an official death list that stood
at 35 tonight, and probably about 1,
500 persons injured, of whom a num-
Der may die.
But armed vigilance still ruled the
riot areas Of the negro district on the
South side, where more than 5000
state troops patrolled the streets,
with the bulk of the police force and
nearly 1000 special policemen on
duty.
Only EARNED Truce
Although officials generally ex-
pressed themselves as we'll sat
isfied with conditions, Col. A. e.
Lorenzen, of the first Illinoise
reserve militia, described the
situation as an EARNED truct'
He declared that the negroes still
had quantities of fire arms, as did
whites also, and that he believed fur
Their rioting was to be expected I'M
less all deadly weapons were confis-
Gated by house to. house search.
Attorney General E. j. Brundage
declared SUCH a search for weapons
would be unlawful.
Negroes Protest Seizure of Arms.
Negro leaders in public statement
declared that notorious acts of
search and seizure" already had been
made and that they protested vigor-
ously. They quoted the constitution
of the United States that the right of
the people to bear arms shall not be
abridged.
Virtually the entire edition of a
negro weekly newspaper containing
sensational headlines was bought up
by the third reserve militia in the alb
sence of authority to confiscate it.
Although no fresh disturbance of
consequence occurred today, two
whites and one negro succumbed to
wounds or injuries.

COTTON SCARS
UPON BUREAU
CROP REPORT
Advance Following Condition Fl
cures Carries Values to
Limit.

| New York, Aug. 1.-The import
ant feature of the week in the cot
ton market was the government re-
port on Friday making condition
GIL, the lowest on record for the
period and fully two points under
general expectations as expressed in
the average of 69.3 in private con-
dition figures issued prior to the re-
port. The advance following the re-
port was probably the most sensa-
tional ever witnessed after bureau
statement, carrying prices up the full
200-points limit permitted by the ex-
change in any one day.
Until Friday, bearish conditions ex-
listed quite generally in the market,
growing out Of favorable weather in
the belt, belief that the bull side
in stock, bonds and all commodities
had been over extended, pronounced
weakness in the Liverpool markets,
less active spot demand, the big car
ry-over and last, but not least, the
widespread agitation against high
living costs generally.
1t was felt that private condition
figures, truly represented the crop
situation and hardly any one in the
trade prepared for the extraordinary
figure provided by the government.
The latter. however, claimed as a
reason for it's report boil weevil dam
age and excessive rains in the east
ern belt. The definite settlement of
the marine strike revived export bust
ness and record August shipments
were forecast, includig several full
cargoes of low grades to German
ports.
