PRESIDENT CALLS
TREATY CONFERENCE
Members Of Foreign Relations
Committee Summoned.
Special Despatch TO TIE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington ID. c., Aug. %.

President Har ling issued call to-
night for all the Republican members
of the Senate lroreign Relations Conf
n1i.tee 10 90 to the White House at 3
o'clock tomorrow morning for confer
encc.
The understanding i that President
Harding at hat time will lay before
them the completed text of the peace
treaty between the United States and
Germany. 1t was said that the text had
been received to-day by cable at the
state Department.
The utmost secrecy attended the
Presidents request for the visit OF the
members of the committee to the White
House. The word went out late in the
evening to those members who are in
Washington, which includes virtually all
OF them. 1t was believed that Secretary
Hughes also would attend the confer
eice so that he might explain various
features Of the treaty just negotiated.
Cable dispatches from Berlin to-day
said that the treaty had been completed
and was ready for signature. II was
said further. however, that no hint as
10 the terms OF the agreement had been
made public. the entire documen. being
held In strict secrecy.
The call 70 the White House Is In line
with President Harding's policy an
nounced long ago OF calling into con-
ference the Senate leaders within the
party before taking any definite step of
great Importance. In all probability
that is. the indications pointed that way
to-nisht--the Senate will take recess
tomorrow. after a session starting at
ten O'Clock. Apparently It was the de-
sire OF President Harding to have tie
conference before the various members
left the capital for their months vaca-
ton.
II any question should rise over fca-
lures OF the document the fact that the
recess Is coming would give an oppor-
tunity to correct them in the Berlin con-
reTenccs within the coming month. Such
secrecy has been observed in the writ
ing Of the treaty that there IS absolute
~ no accurate basis for speculation as
20 whether the terms will prove salts
factory to the Republicans OF the Senate.
n is the feeling. however. that the
treaty was written with the idea in min
that il should meet the approval OF he
Administration Senators. The Demo-
cratic members OF the committee were
not invited TO the conference.
The Republican members Of the com
0iittee are Senator Lodge tMass),
chairman; Senator McCumber IN d.,
Borah (Idaho), Brandcgee Comm
Knox (Pa.). Johnson (Ca1), New
tInd.). Moses IN. H., Kellogg CMinn.)
and Mccormick (Ill)
All of the members were understood
10 be in Washington except Senator John
son.

Fugitive Captures
Hound Trailing Him

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Aug.
23.-Jim Nesbit, nimble ne
gro, turned a novel trick on the
ferocious bloodhound sent out to
trail him, but nevertheless was
captured.
Serving life sentence on the
chain gang for murder, Nesbit
escaped yesterday. A bloodhound
was set on his trail. The negro
waited until the bloodhound
caught up, tied the animal to a
tree and continued his flight. He
was captured later.
Bloodhounds in real life arc
not as ferocious as in "Uncle
Toms Cabin" Dog experts know
that they seldom bite and are Of

Moscow, Aug. q (midnight). via
LONDON, Aug. 23.-Relief workers here,
discussing the Russian famine sltua-
ton with THE New YORK HERALD cor
respondent, characterized it as I'M
questionably the most terrible that has
ever been known by the Russian peo-
pie. They declared 1t was much worse
than that which followed the great
drought in 1891, when four OF the
bread raising districts were paralyzed,
whereas now there are practically
twelve OF them laid waste, save for
two fortunate townships. Further
more, in 1891 the reserve stores and
railroad facilities were normal, while
to day transportation is crippled.
Moscow has been placed on short
rations so that food might be sent TO
the Volga section. THE NEW YORK
HERALD correspondent is informed OF
many personal cases where the 1000
doled out by the Soviet Government
has been reduced a third or q half.
while Government employees, who are
earning pitifully small salaries. now
have to sell their personal possessions
in order to buy scanty food supply.
Towns in the country districts are
making what Is to them generous contri-
.,,tions 10 aid the famine sufferers, but
the small sums obtained in this way are
wholely Inadequate to meet the needs oil
the people.
The arst foreign relief to reach the
famine region of Russia will be thirty
two tons OF cod liver oil and 1870 tons OF
cocoa, which will be delivered to-day by
thu Friends International Relief Com
n,ittee. 10 be shipped TO Sahara. In
eastern European Russia. where II viii

HAYNES Of the American Friends Is Jour
neyjng to Samara 10 prepare for the dis
tribution of this relief and to study the
famine situation there. after which she
will return to America to obtain further
help.
At the headquarters of the Friends
here to-day II was estimated that several
hundred children were arriving here
daily from the famine region, which is a
large number in view OF the fact that at
this time 1t requires three and hall
DAVIS by train to make the trip.
