MAKES URGENT PLEA FOR PEACE. PACTS Wilson Urges Senate to Ratify Treaties With Foreign “Nations. Washington, July 20.—President Wilson, through Secretary Bryan, has notified the senate foreign relations committee he wishes to press‘for rati- flcation before adjournment of this session of congress the new peace treaties signed with twenty forelgn Powers. The president’s plan was communi- cated in a statement to members of the committee by Secretary Bryan, setting forth the following analysis of the general purposes of the treaties: Purpose of Treaties. “That investigations shall be re- sorted to in all cases where the ordi- nary resources of diplomacy fail. ‘That the contracting parties serve the right to act independently on the subject matter after the sub- mission of their report. “That there shall be no appeal to force until the investigation is com- pleted. “That the commission (in each case) be composed of five members, c¢ne chosen from each country from emong ite own citizens, one chosen by each country from another country, €nd the fifth to be chosen by agree- nient of the two countries from some third country. In a few cases pro- vision is made for the appointment ot {he fifth member by-the four mem- bers or some neutral power of tribu- nal in case the two countries Nlhnutx agree.” - -Certain Exceptions Bxist. Discussing the proposed treaties, Secretary Bryan said: “In most 'of our treaties there are certain exceptions and in most of these treaties the oxceptions are: The vital interests, the independence and honor of the two countries ‘and the interests of third parties. It is evi- dent that these arbitration treaties do mnot prevent recourse to hostilities with regard to the causes included in the exception clause. It is the intention that the treaties now being exchanged shall close this gap and leave no cause for a declaration of war and the beginning of hostilities until there has been an investigation of the dif- re- | ferences. It is believed an gation will not only give time for the subsidence of passion and the restora- tion of calm and deliberate judgment, but that it will also be useful in sep- arating questions of fact and questions of honor.” Section Four Omitted Section 4 of the treaties signed with Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Hon- duras and Nicaragua, Mr. Bryan stated, had been omitted from all the other treaties except that with Persia. The section provided that “pending investigation and report of the investigation commission, the high centracting parties agree not to in- crease their military or naval pro- gram unless danger from a third power shall compel such increase, in which case the party feeling itself menaced shall confidentially commun- icate the fact In writing to the other contracting party, whereupon the lat- ter shall also be released from its obligations to maintain its military and naval status quo.” The great powers, it is Kknown, would not agree to such a stipulation. Members of the foreign relations com- mittee have not determined whether they will press the conventions for ratification at this session, but it is evident that the administration in- tends to press them as much as pos- sible.

Washington, July 20.—Democratic insurgents in the senate, which term at this time is used to describe those members who are against the con- firmation of Thomas D. Jones to be a member of the federal reserve board, are already talking about the use of patronage by the administration to put through the president's Chicago nominee. They have heard that those democrats who fail to line up in favor of Jones, when the vote comes, need expect no favors from the president in the way of appointments. The re- sult is that an element of added bit- terness is being injected into a situa- tion already prolific of trouble. The reported use, or threatened use, of presidential patronage to put Jones through is being compared to the sit- uation in 1910, when President Taft undertook to drive insurgent repub- licans in the senate Into line during the fight over railroad legislation. It was charged then that Mr. Taft was making use of the patronage lever. The insurgents, however, refused to be driven by patronage threats and the breach between themselves and the administration was only widenea as a result, Show No Signs of Yielding. The senate democrats who have an- nounced themselves as opposed to Jones' confirmation, because of his relations with the Harvester trust, show not the least sign of yielding. 8o serious has the situation been ad- mitted to be in administration quar- ters, that the confirming of Jones has been claimed by only one or two votes. This claim is made with no confidence, either. The Jones case may prove to the rock upon which the administ tion and the democratic majority 'in the senate will split. For a long time there has been resentment in the sen- ate against jron-handed rule from the White House, but on no important is- sue have the grumbling democrats felt they could afford to stand out against Mr. Wilson, They look upon the Jones cage as a different matter, and belleve they can fight Jones to a finish, without in any way “injuring themselves, while the senators from the agricultural states feel that a vote for a Harvgster trust man might actually imperil their political fu- ture, Such senators say they are entirely willing to leave it to the verdict of the voters of their states, being con- fident that the farmers will not wel- come a Harvester trust man on the federal reserve board. Party Caucus Plan Is Opposed. There is talk of a: party caucus in | administration quarters, in order to line up a sufficient number of votes for Jones. This also is arousing in- tense opposition, Senator Reed of Missouri, one of Jones' opponents, but otherwise a fairly consistent sup- porter of the president, declared to- day that he would not enter such a caucus. Other democrats are of the same mind. The suggestion of a caucus indie cates the straits to which the admin- istration is put at the present time to.secure votes for Jones. It was ad- mitted today that little progress had been made by administration workers in trying to line up the opposition within the party. Meanwhile the case of Paul M. Warburg of New York, also nominat- ed to the federal reserve board, waits. It Jones fails, it is unlikely that War- burg’'s name will ever reach a vote In the senate. Thus far the committee has refused to report it. be HEAVY PAPER MORTALITY, Application of Militla Laws Causes Decrease of Ornamental Officers. Washington, July 20.—Application of the new militia laws to the na- tional guard has caused a heavy pa- per mortality among the highly orna- mental officers, The requirement that the militia conform in organization to regular army standards has been met by all of the states except South Car- olina, with the startling result that there have already been dropped three major generals, thirty brigadier generals, more than one hundred colonels and a corresponding number of officers of less rank. As a result of these changes there has been a great improvement in the physical fitness of the enlisted force of the militta and progress in the instruction of officers who are now really availing themselves of the kindly criticisms of the inspection of- ficers of the United States army work- ing among them. GRAND CIRCUIT OPENS, Four Races on Today's Card at Cleve- land Track. Cleveland, O., July 20.—The wea- ther is all that could be desired for the opening of the grand circuit of the 1914 season at the North Randall track today.
