FRANCE WILL FEEL
 HURT IF ]. $. FAILS
Wilson Hopes Special Treaty Will
 Be Approved

Washington, July 10-President Wilson plans to submit to the senate today only the treaty containing the covenant of the League of Nations. The proposed supplementary treaty t'ro der vvhieh-'the United States would agree to go to the aid of Franco ipr case of an unprovokcd assa L1l+-7<-r7 That country by Germany will be presented separately at a later date. Mir Wilson is preparing a separate address to the senate explaining this agreement.
 President Wilson is understood to take the position that a two- thirds majority will be required to adopt any senate reservations in ratifying the peace treaty The Impression of op- position leaders in the senate has been only simple majority would be re- quired.
 MT Wilson let it be known to the correspondents that the treaty with France was designed for the protec tion of France until such time as this special guarantee would no longer be needed because of the protection to be afforded all nations by the League of Nations
 MT. Wilson s purpose to present the peace treaty and the agreement with France separately, was disclosed today at a conference with press represen- ia tives. It was indicated that his time thus far had been devoted entirely to preparing his address on the treaty with Germany and that opportunity should be lacking to complete sim liar explanation of the proposed pact with France.
 MT. Wilson feels that the United States must play a generous part Tn the reconstruction of Europe. but ne believe this should be accomplished by establishing some sound basis of cred it rather than by direct government aid.
 Mr. Wilson has the impression that the French people would be cut to the heart if the United States should fall to approve the special treaty. He does not believe there would be any dlff1- cultv in recognizing such an act Of aggression by Germany as would ne- cessitate American aid to France un- der the pact.

THESE MEN DON'T
 LIKE 10 TALK BUT-
Congressman Writing Their Own Biographies For Record Book

Washington, July 10.-An epitome of mankinds virtues, occupations, as pirations and deeds is found in con- gress. Within the pages of the con- gressional directory-that of the sixty-sixth congress, which was issued today-senators and representatives officially record their own biogra- phies.
 Most of the law makers are law yers, but among the membership are an iron moulder, banker, stock raiser, tree surgeon, physician, cheese man. ,ufa acturer, glass blower, baggage mas ter and "business man and a po- licita1 accident
 Although autobiographies deal with the authors past, a surprising fea- ture was that many members did not have to say about their ancestry. Sev eral however, trace their lineage back to members of the continental con- gress and one announced he is a ''di- rect descendant of the Father of the Hannah Dustin' of colonial and In dian fame. Another member said he is best known as a platform orator.
 Other members with an eye to thrift did not fail to advertise. One said his firm originated a well known cloth, another that he brought the first automobiles into this country from Europe and another that he is a president of a press clipping bureau One recites his collegiate achieve ments and admits getting into con- gress after his characteristic deter minaton'' carried him through an untiring campaign in popular auto mobile One member was raised on a dairy farm another lives Ion a gravel road,' and another entered public school at an early ago.
 The shortest biogra aphy is that of Representative James O'COnner, he merely announced his name. Others take half page pr more to unburden themselves as each was permitted to write what he pleased

TO MAINTAIN ORDER
Premier Francesca Nitti Says Govern ment Will Insist on Speedy .Ad-
 justmentS and Peace.

Rome, July 9 (By the Associated Press )-The Italian government in tends to maintain order firmly, said Francesca Nitti. the premier speak ing before parliament today. He summarized the program of the gov ernment by saying that it was planned to hasten the peace negotiations so that peace could be concluded at once with the upholding Of Italian national aspira tions.
 The rapid transform ation from a war to a peace footing is to be effected and what was rendered necessary by the conflict and has become super f1uous and indeed, harmful in peace, will be abolished. The bitter condi- ton of the people will be alleviated by the government which is aiming to lower prices without which, he said, lit is impossible to guarantee social peace" Financial and economic re- form rendered necessary by new con ditions will be rapidly prepared, the maintenance of public order being indispensable for realization of the entire program.

Rca! Meaning of the Turtle Hunt.
(New York Stan }

A dispatch from Allentown, Pa, tells that many employees of the Le- high Valley railroad are engaged in hunting turtles. some of tHe reptiles captured weighing p pourpds. They are not the painted turtles whose small voice is heard in thes land but snapping turtles, which haze pursued their June custom of goings ashore to lay their eggs by the light of the moon.
 We detect in the Allenf own news a bit of graciousness pJa hned by MT. Hines, the director gen eral of rail roads. He has assigned some of the Lehigh employees to rouyhd up a great bevy, flock, herd, drove, lshoal or covey of turtles and he is sEoing to present them to the master o the the mails, MT. Burleson. so that thd latter may re- alize his ideals in tHe delivery of let ters. Shaping turfles are chosen so that the new postnt en may attend to critics of the serviqe.

GERMANS ANXIOUS
 TO RATHFY TERMS
Members of Assembly Consider Their Task OdiOus One and Wanted
 It Done Quickly.

Weimar, July 10, (By Associated Press. )-The German national as- sembly very plainly demonstrated yes terday that it wanted to complete the unplea sant task of ratifying the treaty qniCklE and without obscuring the measure in any way with qualifying resolutions.
 At the opening of the session, the conservatives introduced Q resolution which would make ratification de- pendent upon the judgment of recog- nized authorities in international law as to whether the proposed in ternatonal court could institute trial and could, with retroa ctive jursdic- tion and authority, impose penalties which have not heretofore been pre- scribed in international law The resolution was aimed at the en- forcement of articles 227 to 23O in elusive, of the peace treaty. Provid- ing for the trial of the former em- peror and Germans accused of caus- ing the war or of violations of the rules of war. It also provided for the establishment of a neutral court to pass upon the question of responsi- bility for the conflict
 The bill ratifying the treaty passed the first reading and then a recess was taken to give the parties an op- portunity to discuss the resolution. After 1 5 minutes the assem bly. recon vened and, pr. schiffer, national lib eral leader and former minister of finance, stated he regretted the in- troduction of the resolution as 1t would only serve to confuse the sit uation. A clerical speaker said the time for reservations was passed, The conservatives defended the resolution but it was decisively beaten.
 The treaty bill was then taken un and quickly passed second and third readings, with the opposition coming from democrats. national liberals and conservatives. pr. Bernhard Dern-

GREAT BRITAIN WON THE WAR

Field Marshal Haig's speech in which he declared that Great Britain won the war meets with our most hearty respect. The Field Marshal is not right, entirely, but he is taking stand that, in a British subject. is His loyalty and his patriotism is un- questioned. It was a fine declaration. Great Britain did win the war, so did France, so did Italy, so did the United States and finally so did Russia. But all of them would have been in a fine fix if it hadn't been for the United States,-with the exception of Ger many.
 Tt was Britain that bore the brunt of the fighting during the past two years" said the commander-in-c chief. That may be true. The Tommy fought and fought well. But he was not re- sponsible for the holding and defeat ting of an enemy singlehanded. If it had not been for the Russians, in the early part of the war, both Great Brit ain and France would have been over whelmed. If it had not been for Jof- ire and his army at the Battle of the Marne, France would have been over for the Italians numerous Austrians would have been available for use or the western front. If it had not been for the British navy Europe would have been isolated and starved into submission. If it had not been for the defense of Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods and the reduction of tfeSt -Mihiel salient by the Amer jeans, the Germans . would have reached Paris, with disastrous C0rse- quences to the' Allies after four years of fighting. If it had not been for the weight of fighting men and supplies the United States threw into the scales, the end would have been other wise than it is now. Every nation -Zand the whole bunch would have been licked if it wasn't for the United States. K
 Let them all claim the credit, it is right that tkey should. National pa triotism demands it. We have the satisfaction of knowing that we kept Germany from conquering the eastern hemisphere if we did not win the war us, after all this is said and done, that the United States won the war with Germany.

it will be a lengthy one, and will re- quire a goodly number Of men Tor
 occupational purposes
 Arguments will be advanced against the League of Nations, which was to keep us in peace. Mexico will be pointed to as an example. But MeXl- co is not a member of the league. She preferred to stay out and conduct things in her own slipshod half hearted manner The United States cannot stand this, there must be sta biity south of us
 It is a matter for the League Of Nations to look into, for the interna- tional police to settle, if your League is any good, some of the League op- ponents will say. But these same ones have been arguing against the League because it is termed a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. It will be amusing 10 watch them reverse their argum ents. It is the duty of the United States to convert Mexico into some sort of a country where cease less strife is lacking where capital can invest and be guaranteed pro- lection. The cancer has been grow ing for many years and it is time for the operation. It is undoubtedly the wish of America that foreign interests do not interfere and it seems that they are willing to keep off. The sudden action of the State. Depart ment, coming, as itLdoes, on top of conferences abroad Indicates that we have proceeded on lines laid out in agreement with other powers An has already been made, along League of Nations lines, to subdue the cantankerous Mexican and to insure that he acts as a gentleman 1 should.

Flanders Mud and Amcrtca's Cutters.
 (NeW' York H erald.)

Commander tEvangeline Booth of the Salvation Army told the Elks con- vention at. Atlantic City that one se- cret of the success of the Salvation Army abroad was that there was lit tie difference b.tween the mud of Flanders and tte slime of the gutters in Which We Lad worked for many years before the war;
 This is A Graphic way of expressing a truth ndNasimile that tells a, tragic tale. The Salvation Army did won derful work in the great war. It's men and women were accustomed to hard ships and to suffering, their lives having been spent in the work of re- lieving huma'nity Returning soldiers all testify to the magnificent work of the Salvation Army in France.
 But the most interesting and strik- ing statement of Commander Booth at Atlantic City vas that we have a practical religiop; we apply faith to deeds.' This is true. Many a sol dler went into battle with a courage inspired by the religion of righteous ness and bravery. The Salvation Army doctrine seemed to put away all fear of death and made human cour- age the crown of religion
 The world will never know the full debt it owes to this army of peace in a war for national security.

CALLING CARRANZA.

President Carranza. of Mexico, the cided, will be called to account by the United States government. The i'm mediate cause is his action in es- an "oil claims settlement Commission in New York city which purposed to smooth over the difficult s$tes in connection with the large American interests in Mexican oil fields. Contributing factors are many. The history of the land of the peon has been replete with unsatisfactory acts, the protection of life and prop erty being the last thing that is seemingly desired down there Car ranza's deed, which may be his last one, is nothing more or less than a hold-up on the face of it. Should be be anxious to reach an equita ble agreement upon the operation of Mexican oil wells by. American capi- tai it would be better if he consult the State Departme direct, allowing 1t to make adjustments. But he was evidently unwilling to do so. preferring to obtain money and make promises through a New York agency of his own. Contracts and agreements made with individuals would not prove as dangerous, in his estimation as the same agreements with the govern ment might Individuals would not be able to throw the weight of ret } ribution against him that the United Estates could. His action was really 4a form of blackmail by government power, There is little possibility of #his agreements being lived up to if 3any interests in New York were fool 8ish enough to become a party to athem.
 # If Carranza does not agree with the Limited States and give a strict &C., 8counting with a tangible promise for Nhe future he will be removed by the FAn ericans, by force if necessary APorts in Mexico will be seized and #eld until there is some promise of AMder strong enough to secure proper

Former President of Swiss Thinks It
 Is Imperfect But Good Start.

Berne, July 9.-Dr. Felix Calonder former president, and head of the political departmen of the Swiss gov ernment, speaking at a conference with the press on the league of na- tions today said he was convinced that the non-adhesion of Switzerland to the league, and her consequent po- litical isolation would be great CT TOT.
 The league founded at Paris he said. "is imperfect and should De amended. but. nevertheless it con- stitutes a, work that commands re- snect and has an appeal as tending to facilitate, the progress of human ity."

GERMANY AGREES.
should.

Weimar, the seat of the German National Assembly. sent word yester- day that it had accepted the Peace Treaty as it had been laid out by the Allies and that the terms were con- sidered to be in effect imm edia tely The Germans have made their final equalization. The war, as far as they are concerned, is a matter of the past and we can we'll imagine that the Allied nations are expected to lift their blockade and trade with Ger many at once. The Germans will be glad to get Allied goods, particularly foodstuffs.
 The war,~s'Te it affects the Allies, is not yet~AAer. Be have still to ratify the treaty through or~ assemblie be- fore it will be time for resumption of trade. T.lree of the Allied powersI must ratify hefore the incitent is re garded as closed and normal trade resumed. The treaty so states If. possibility of early ratification is $ country. Great Britain is next and Italy follows in the order of proba ble ratification. These countries though involved in political troubles, have not the conditions which will tend to de- lay that are in existence in this coun- try. Early ratification means to them that an unpleasant incident is closed that the war is overland there are no political arguments of great conse- quence hinging upon the action.
 In the United States we may expect long delay before the League of Ma tions pact, which is a part of the treaty, Is accepted or cast aside. The whole stress of political events bears upon the League question. It has been adopted by the council of all powers which fought side by side and advocated by them. It is now the wish of political leaders in the United States to discredit the representative at the conference and to so change the text of the peace treaty that it will be unacceptable to others or to refuse to ratiry it entirely. In the latter case it will be necessary for us to treat with Germany ourselves, making peace agreement With them. This may be the end of the maneuvers now un- der way. If it is we have ourselves and ourselves only, to look after. Our land and sea power must be greater than that of any other country, we must build up the military machine. When we start building will other nations form a League of Nations? No. They may form a protective alli- ance against the United States but they will never disarm and leave themselves at our mercy. The Sen ate has the power to decide, for the whole world, whether there will be competitive building of armam ents, with probable use for them, in years to come, or whether we will put our trust in others and ddsarm with all It is a great power for several men to have.
