SECRET TREATY IS FORMALLY DENIED
French Foreign Office Issues
 Formal Statement

Paris, Aug. IS UP)-The ex- istence of secret terms in the Fran CO., British naval accord was denied by foreign office officials today. Reports had been printed in Brit ish and American newspapers charging the existence of hidden protocols. It was intimated the agreement was so far-reaching that it even covered an understanding rega rding the strength of the French army.
 The Quai D'Orsay insisted that Washington and other interested governments are in possession of l complete documents covering the accord and the conversations lead ing to it. The documents show that the accord is not designed to inter- fere with the operations of the Washington naval agreement, it was pointed out
 The foreign office was equally in sistent that Secretary kellogg's visit for the signing of the an,i-war agreement would not be made the occasion for bringing up the naval problem.
 However. the hope expressed by w. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, that the Kellogg pact would lead to the reduction of naval budgets is not shared by French officials.
 It was explained that Frances position is peculiar. since she lost nearly as many vessels as Britain during the World war and has to scrap many obsolete ships. A build ing program therefore is necessary, with a budget covering construc- ton until 1882
 Construction, however, will be confined to the limits of the Wash ington accord, it was said. The pro- gram will consist of two classes each of light cruisers. destroyers and submarines, considered essen- tial for coastal protection and main- taining communication with North Africa. but virtually useless in war fare on the high seas.
 TWenty-siX modern ships will be needed to replace obsolete vessels before January, it was said, and 27 keels already have been laid down in French shipyards.

 WARNING ISSUED
Ianssy Sounds Keynote at Con.
 Vention Meeting

Boston, Aug. Is UP)-A warn. Ing against the radical element" in the New Bedford and Fall Rive, textile strikes was voiced today D, President James Tansey at the opening session of the 18th annual convention of the American Fedora uon Of Textile Operatives.
 Between 80 and 40 delegates. ren. resenting several thousand textile operatives, mostly in New England attended the initial session of the convention. which probably will continue through Saturday.
 "We advise all our members and ell other workers to continue at work pending further developments end more opportune time," Tan. sey said in discussing the strike situations in his annual report.
 Contribute as liberally as you can to the workers out on strike, through the New Bedford textile council or unions connected with the council, 50 that victory may crown their efforts"
 Discussing the wage situation in textile mills. Tansey said:
 We don't say that everything is entirely satisfactory with regard to wages. We know there is room 10. improvement"
 Some time ago, New Bedford operatives withdrew from the American Federation of Textile operatives to join the United Textil Workers.
 Referring to their action in his report, Tansey said:
 The withdrawal of the New Bedford delegation means that our numerical strength is reduced, but this transfer does not weaken the legitimate textile trade union move ment."
 He pointed to the fact that both his organization and the United Textile Workers were affiliated with the A. F. of l.. Tansey pointed out that the reason for the transfer was because as members of the United Textile Workers the New Bedford operatives could solicit funds in support of their strike from union organizations outside their own group.

Perhaps it was because she was thinking of Robb as she sang it. She had been thinking of him almost every minute since the Saturday night be- fore when they had found each other in the darkness under the sycamore tree.
 Then she sang the Indian Love Call' for them. and after that the Johnny McCree" song that her mother had found in some old music primer years before. They clapped their hands politely. but it was per- fectly plain to Emmy that they liked the ragtime much better.
