A note signed by Acting Foreign
Minister Schubert at Berlin, detail

public at the state department last
night while Ambassador Claudel
called upon Mr.. Kellogg TO tell him
Of the forthcoming French reply.
This will probably be handed to
Ambassador Herrick at Paris tomor-
row. he said, on the great French
holiday celebrating the fall of the
Bastile. The reply he described as
an acceptance of I explanations
and interpretations of the proposed
pact as outlined by Mr.. Kellogg in
8 his note OF June o5.
Germany's acceptance was sweep
Ing and unqualified. and the note
declared that the Berlin government
was ready to sign the treaty at once
IN the form in which it was submit
ted.
A draft OF the proposed pact was
sent simultaneously to fourteen ma

and Italy. Germany was the first to
reply.
Under the proposed treaty. the
eignatory nations would condemn

The preamble sets forth that any
sienatory nation resorting to war in
violation OF the pact would automa-
tically be denied its benefits. and
that at the same time, the other
members of the compact would be
freed of their obligations under the
treaty to their offending state. While
the treaty itself makes no mention
OF self defense, Secretary Kellogg
explained In his note accom- anying
tie drafts. that the United States
considers this a principle inherent
IN every sovereign state and implicit

In Its present form, the pact Is a
modification OF one submitted in

the treaty were made to meet ohiec-
