THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JULY SO, 1919. WILSON GIVES OUT MESSAGE ON FRENCH PACT U. S. Bound by Honor to Help France in Case of Un provoked Attack by Huns. Washington, July 29; The fol lowing message relative to the American pact with France was sent to the senate by President Wil ton Tuesday. "Gentlemen of the Senate: I take pleasure in laying before you a treaty with the republic of France, the object of which is to secure that republic of the immediate aid of the United States of America in case of any unprovoked movement of ag gression against it on the part of Germany. "I earnestly hope that the treaty will v meet with your cordial ap proval and will receive an early LEMON JUICE FOR FRECKLES Girls! Make beauty lotion for a few cents Try it I Squeeze the juice of two lemons Into A bottle containing three ounces of orchard white, shake well, and you have a quarter pint of the best freckle and tan lotion, and complex ion beautifier, at very, very small cost. , Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Massage this sweetly, fragrant lotion into the face, neck, arms and hands each day and see how freckles and blemishes disappear and how clear, soft and rosy white the skin becomes. Yes! It is harmless and never irritates. Adv. ratification at your hands, along with the treaty of peace with Ger many. Now that you have had an opportunity to examine the great document I presented to you two weeks ago, it seems opportune to lay before you this treaty which is meant to be in effect a part of it Is Treaty Supplement "It was signed on the same day with the treaty of peace and is in tended as a temporary supplement to it. It is believed that the treaty of peace with Germany itself pro vides adequate protection to France against aggression from its recent epemy on the east; bJt the years immediately ahead of us contain many incalculable possibilities. The covenant of the league of nations provides for military action for the protection oHts members only upon advice of the council of the league advice given, it is presumed, only upon deliberation and acted upon by each of the governments of the member states only if its own judg ment justifies such action. "The object of the special treaty with France which I now submit to you is to provide for immediate military assistance to France by the United States in case of any unprovoked movement of aggres sion against it by Germany without waiting for the advice of the coun cil of the league of nations that such action will be taken. It is to be an arrangement, not independent of the league of nations, but under it. "It is therefore expressly pro vided that this treaty shall be made the subject of consideration at the same time with the treaty of peace with Germany; that this special ar rangement shall receive the ap proval of the council of the league; and that this special provision for the safety of France shall remain in force only until, upon the ap plication of one of the parties to it, the council of the league, acting, if necessary, by a majority vote, shall agree that the provisions of the covenant of the league afford it suf ficient protection. Honor Bound to France. "I was moved to sign this treaty by considerations which will, I hope, seem as persuasive and as irresistible to you as they seemed to nie. We are bound to France by ties of friendship which we have always regarded, and shall always regard, as peculiarly sacred. It as sisted us to win our freedom as a nation. It is seriously to be doubted whether we could have won it without its gallant and timely aid. We have recently had the privilege of assisting in driving enemies, who were also enemies of the world, from its soil; but that does not pay our debt to it Noth ing can pay such a debt It now desires that we should promise to lend bur great force to keep it safe against the power it has had most reason to fear. Another great na tion volunteers the same promise. It is one of the fine reversals of history that that other nation should be the very power whom France fought to set us free. "A new day has dawned. Old an tagonisms are forgotten. The com mon cause of freedom and enlight enment has created new comrade ships and a new perception of what it is wise and necessary for great nations to do to free the world of itnolerable fear. Two governments who wish to be members of the league of nations ask leave of the council of the league to be permit ted to go to the assistance of a friend whose situation has been found to be one of peculiar peril, without awaiting the advice of the league to act. ' "It is by taking such pledges as this that we prove ourselves faith ful to the utmost to the high obli gations of gratjtude and tested friendship. Such an act as this seems to me one of the proofs that we are a people that sees the true heart of duty and prefers honor to its own separate course of peace. "WOODROW WILSON." The White House, July 29, 1919. Economy and Industry Urged by King George London, July 29. Economy and industry by the people, as necessary to maintain Great Britain's commer cial position, were urged by King George at the Guildhall in replying to the city's congratulations on peace. "Now that we are at peace again," the king said, "the country urgently demands from every citizen the ut most economy in order to make the best use of the resources which the country possesses, and strenuous and unremitting industry in order to insure the greatest possible produc tion of necessary commodities. Without these we shall have to face depression and poverty. "I am confident the ancient, sterl ing virtues of the British people will not fail us in the hour of need." SENATOR THOMAS SEES LEAGUE AS NO G00DTHE0RY Colorado Senator In Speech Declares Either League Covenant or "Peace of Force" Must Perish. Washington, July 29. Expressing doubt as to the merits of the league of nations and pointing out that either the league covenant of the "peace of force" with which it is linked must in the end perish, Sena tor Thomas, democrat, Colorado, told the senate today he had reached no final decision as to the treaty. While hoping that the war had so uplifted human morality and intel lect as to make permanent peace possible, Senator Thomas said he could see "no evidence of such a change." "The world is today more turbu lent, and scarcely less bloody, than before signing the armistice," he said. "The people of no nation on earth seem inclined either to peace or to the arts of peace. "The league proposes a plan for a new order in world affairs; the treaty perpetuates the old order. The treaty is doubtless the best that the conflict of ideals and interests could have produced. But its con tending elements cannot co-exist. If the conditions of the treaty per sist the league will perish. If the covenant survives, the treaty must temper its harsher features to con form with the mission of the league. "If I could write a covenant for a league to enforce peace, I would confine it to the English-speakins: nations and colonies of the world If they cannot save the world it is past all redemption." New Bolshevik Leader. Helsingfors, Finland, July 29. Colonel Kameneff, who was a gen eral staff officer of the old regime, has replaced the Lettish colonel, Viatzetis, as generalissimo of the bolshevik forces, according to a dis patch from Pctrograd. rPHE Annual Sum mer Clearance Sale now in prog ress jn every sec tion of the store.
