or reparation shall be given to
the cost .of all armies of occupa
tion of the alies and to services
of the external prewar Ottoman
oublic debt. Bulgaria renounces the
benefits of the Bucharest and Brest
Litovsk treaties and agrees to sur
render the moneys and securities
received according to those treaties.
Roumanian Frontiers Same.
'. The frontier with Roumania re
mams the same as before the war,
although it is understood the ques
tion of inducing Poumania to cede
to Bulgaria that portion of Dob-
nidia which is wholly Bulgarian
vin character, will be taken up later.
The frontier on the west with Serbia
is modified in four places to the
advantage of Serbia. In the Timok
valley at the north, Bulgaria cedes
to Serbia a narrow territory Suf
ficient to provide for proper po
licing of the important Serbian
railway running through that val
ley. "In the : vicinity of Dragoman
pass, Bulgaria cedes a small area
sufficient to protect Nish from Bul
garian attack. A little further south
in the vicinity of Varanye, where the
Bulgarians in the present war occu
pied the only railway that makes
" possible the defense of northern
Serbia. Bulgaria is required to cede
a small area of mountainous terri
tory, sufficient to protect the Ser
bian frontier, in the future. At the
south of this frontier, where a pro
jecting lobe of the Bulgarian terri-
. tory came within six miles of the
same vital railway, Bulgaria cedes
the western projecting lobe to Ser
bia, so that her frontiers are re
moved ten or twelve miles eastward.
Most Change in South.
"The most extensive territorial
change is to the south. The fron
tier with Greece remains the same
except for slight rectification to af
ford proper protection to the Greek
town Buk. Western Thrace, for
merly constituted as Bulgaria's ter
ritorial pathway to the Aegean sea, is
ceded to the- principal allied and as
sociated powers. Bulgaria agrees to
accept whatever disposition of this
, territory the powers ultimately de
cide on. It is stipulated that what-
ever . solution is adopted, an eco
nomic outlet to the Aegean sea wilt
be guaranteed to Bulgaria, the pow
ers having the right to return all or
part of the territory- to Bulgaria,
transfer part to Greece, incorporate
the remainder with eastern Thrace
in an international sate, or to make
any other solution ultimately agreed
upon,"
; Greece, according to the summary,
, agrees to embody in a treaty with
the allies such provisions to prtect
the 'interest of the minorities of race,
...
"language or religion ana maice pro
visions necessary to protect the free
dom of transit and equitable treat
ment of the commerce of other na
tions. Regarding Thrace, Bulgaria agrees
to accept any settlement the allied
and associated powers may make in
this territory as to the nationality of
: the inhabitants. Bulgaria's economic
outlet to the Aegeen sea is insured
by the allies. . .
1 Army of 20,000 Men.
The Bulgarian army is to be re
duced to 20,000 men within three
months, with universal military ser
vice abolished and voluntary enlist
ment ubstituted. The .number of
gendarmes, customs officials and
other armed guards shall not exceed
10,000 and there must exist only one
military school. The manufacture of
war material will be confined to a
single factory and the importation or
exportation of arms, munitions or
war materials of all kinds forbidden.
All existing Bulgarian warships,
including submarines, will be sur
. rendered to the allies and warships
or submarines i under construction
will be broken up. Construction or
acquisition of any submarines, even
tor commercial purposes, will be for
bidden. ; All naval arms, munitions
and other war material belonging to
Bulgaria at the date of the armistice
' will be surrendered to the allies.

Congress Applauds
General Pershing
(CaaHnM from Fas Ona.)
th officer he addressed and to the
soldiers who will sleep forever in
Francs, as well as to those who have
come home. -,
Roar of Laughter.
Speaker Gilletl employed a lighter
touch. Prefacing his own remarks',
he said that the committee of ar
rangement, having provided for the
address in behalf of the senate, had
thought it fitting to provide also for
a few "plain and homely words from
the representatives of the people,
the house." His remark was greeted
with a roar of laughter.-
The former speaker, Champ Clark
of Missouri, General Pershing"s
home state, had been assigned the
privilege of explaining to the general
the resolution of thanks congress
had adopted. Senators and repre
seatatives stood to honor Mr. Clark
a he rose to stand directly in front
of General Pershing, talking in con
versational tone.
When General Pershing rose to
reply and faced the house, a deafen
ing applause greeted him, the whole
assembly standing with him. Hand
clapping, cheering and yells of
greeting continued for several min
utes while Speaker Gillett pounded
vainly for order. 1
In firm voice that carried to every
corner of the big chamber, the gen
eral told in modest language of what
the army had done, of its realization
that it was the sustaining courage of
the American people that had made
possible the victory. He showed deep
feeling as he spoke of the graves in
France and when he referred to the
maimed and crippled men who have
come back to' the nation as a grate
ful charge the outburst of applause
was deafening.
Stirs Deep Feeling.
At ne other point the general's
words stirred deep feeling. That was
when he said:
"The great achievements, the high
ideals, the sacrifices of our army and
our people belong to no party and
no creed."
A salvo of applause interrupted
him and it was a' minute or two be
fore he could make his concluding
sentences heard. ;
When he had finished, under the
leadership of escorting committee
the general passed down the center
aisle of the chamber to the door,
members reaching to grasp his hand
as he passed. A diminutive page
blocked his way, and the general
smilingly stopped to shake hands
with the boy. From his seat near
the aisle Representative Wilson of
Ohio thrust forward his baby daugh
ter and the general caught her to
him and kissed her while new ap
plause greeted him.t
An impromptu handshaking with
senators and representatives in the
lobby followed, and then the expe
ditionary leader was given a press
gallery reception. He was not to
be lured into any lengthy speech,
however, contenting himself with
saying that he realized that all the
tumult and honor of his reception
meant that he was merely the in
strument through which the nation
thanked the army.
"I am not taking -it personally,"
he said.
Before he left the capitol General
Pershing , called on his father-in-law.
Senator Warren of Wyoming,
in the latter's office. As he started
for his automobile a crowd of wom
en sightseers fairly . mobbed him,
clinging to his arms and demanding
that he stop to shake hands.
"Don't- hold my hand too long,"
he protested laughingly to one eager
admirer, as he finally broke free
with the aid of his staff.
SENATORS GETTING
READY FOR FIRST
; VOTEON TREATY
Size and Importance of Docu
ment Possibility of Early
Agreement
' Washington, Sept. 18. Republican
leaders made ready today for the
first voting test next week on the
German peace treaty and its league
of nations covenant.
Word was sent to Senator John
son of California, author of an
amendment to equalize the voting
power of Grtat Britain and the
United States in the league, and
first up for consideration, to return
here at once so that debate on the
amendment might proceed Monday,
with the hope ot adopting or re
jecting it by the end of the week.
Until this message to the Califor
nia senator was sent by Senator
Borah of Idaho, after a conference
late in the day with " Chairman
Lodge of the foreign relations com
mittee, the report had persisted
around the capitol that Senator
Johnson might be absent several
weeks. Senator Lodge declared
there would be no vote on Amend
ments this week, and opponents of
the league were prepared to resist
attempts to force one ,by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, leader of
the administration s fight for ratth
cation. .
The treaty will be called up for
consideration Tomorrow, aiier a two
day interruption, for continuous
consideration. Actual reading of the
pact, which stopped short Tuesday
after Article III of the league cove
nant had been reached, is consider
ably more of a job than the man not
familiar with senatorial discussion
of international questions might im
agine. The printed text makes a
book almost as big and quite as
heavy as a New York city telephone
directory. Every line of it must be
read, with endless debate on some
sections, running, perhaps, into
weeks. ' " V '
Its size, to say nothing of impor
tance of the document, explains why
senators generally decline to pre
dict how long it may be before
finally voted on.
Reed to Speak Again.
Senator Reed of Missouri was ex
pected to launch another attack on
the league tomorrow, but it was
thought at his office tonight that he
might not speak until Saturday.
Other senators are anxious to be
heard.
It is the intention of Chairman
Lodge,' in charge of the treaty, to
call it up every day, not later than
2 o'clock. An amendment by Sena
tor Moses, republican or. New
Hampshire, relating to adjudication
to deputies, referred to the assem
bly, will be reached tomorrow after
a 10-minute reading of the league
covenant text. Opponents of the
covenant said , tonight the reading
would be halted at that point for
quite a bit of discussion, but that
they would prevent a vote on it this
week. Discussing his telegram to
Senator Johnson urging the Cali
fornia senator's immediate presence
here. Senator Borah said debate on
the British-American voting amend
ment might go oh for a week, with
the hope of a vote at the end of that
time. Senator Johnson, he said,
could then resume his speech-making
trip against the league. .

Mr. Kipling replied to her as follows :
"Are You Sure?" .
So we ask, are you sure when you

There's a difference between merely

there would be the "partial paralysis

Boycott Provisions.
Mr. Wilson also discussed at
length the arbitration and boycott
provisions of the league covenant,
declaring that had there been any-
thi nxaoproaching such .an arrange
ment in 1914 Germany never would
have begun the war. The boycott,
he asserted, was "an exclusion from
civilized society which no Euro
pean nation could endure for six
months. He emphasized that the
boycott was an automatic step short
of war and that under the covenant
all actual questions of war or peace
would be reserved for decision by
congress.
Not Selfish Nation. .
The president declared that-while
the United States formerly was
looked upon abroad as a selfish na
tion, that opinion had been abso
lutely reversed." It now is America's
privilege, he said, to lead the world
unless the cynical counsels of some
of our acquaintances prevail"

Speaks to Students.
Berkeley, Cal., Sept. 18. Presi
dent Wilson told an audience of fac
ulty and students of the University
of California assembled in the
Greek theater on the university cam
pus at Berkeley today that he had
no objection to the peace treaty be
ing debated, but objected to it be
ing defeated so long and thought it
ought to be debated more fairly.
Some men and newspapers were
misrepresenting the treaty,, he said,
and instead of discussing it on its
merits were picking out little flaws.
Some of the greatest mistakes In
American history were due. to just
such actions as that, the president
said.
The president and Mrs. Wilson
arrived in Qakland from San Fran
cisco this afternoon and were
cheered by crowds of school chil
dren, who lined the streets through
which they drove.
Welcomed by Mayor.
On arrival at the Greek theater
the president was welcomed by
Mayor Louis Bartlett of Berkeley
and Dean W. C. Jones of the uni
versity. At the close of his brief
talk the presidential party drove to
the athletic field. The automobiles
circled the field to give the crowds
in the stands a view of President
Wilson and the party then returned
to Oakland, where the president Bad
dinner in private at his hotel be
fore his evening address at the Civic
auditorium. .
Before his departure from San
Francisco today President Wilson
received a petition from the Chinese
National Welfare Society of Amer
ica, said to' represent 10,000 Chi
nese in the United States, asking the
president to use his influence to
bring about a readjustment of the
Shantung award.
Leak on Jury.
Chicago, Sept. 18. Federal Judge
Carpenter today told the prosecutors
in charge of a grand jury investiga-'
tion of five large packing companies
that he would dismiss the jurors un

The judge declared that someone

authority.
DEFEND PLAN TO
REPEAL LUXURY
TAX SECTIONS
Congressman Jefferis Says
Present Revenue System
Is Cumbersome and
Unbusinesslike.
By E. C. SNYDER,
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bm.
Washington, Sept. 18, (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Jefferis
in his desire to put a stop to the
methods in vogue In collecting the
so-called luxury taxes, which he be
lieves cumbersome, unbusinesslike
and tends to retard a healthy growth
of industry during the reconstruc
tion period, introduced a bill some
time ago repealing certain sections
of the revenue bill dealing with
taxes and placing a tax on manufac
turers that he thought would offset
the loss in repealing these taxes.
Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee in a letter to
him received yesterday objected to
the bill on the ground that it would
not offset the amount of revenue
raised by taxes on the , sections
sought to be repealed.
Mr. Jefferis replied to the Ford
ttey letter as follows:
"While I was not aware that the
sections which I seek to repeal will
yield the large sum which you claim,
nevertheless I hasten to point out
that I would have no objection to
raising the per cent of tax to any
level which the committee may deem
necessary to bring an equal revenue
to the amount which it is estimated
will be collected under the present
tax. My stand is not against taxa
tion. "I fully realize the dire need that
the government has, and will con
tinue to have, for revenue, and would
not favor any measure which would
seek to curtail this income. But I
am unalterably opposed to the pres
ent method of collecting taxes and
have therefore introduced a bill, not
as a panacea for all the evils of taxa
tion, but to suggest a better way of
deriving revenue. The present system
may nghtly be termed an honest
man's tax" for the income therefrom
depends largely upon the honesty of
the payee. It is causing a great un
rest among the people, who deem it
unnecessary to pay war taxes in
peace times, and I feel that it is ab
solutely necessary to revert the tax
to the manufacturers, and by this
means to create an invisible tax."
Youth Beaten by "Pals"
in Cell in the City Jail
Robert Bevins, 17 years old, 2119
North Twenty-fourth street, re
ceived a severe beating in a cell in
the city jail yesterday, where he was
confined with his two "pals," before
police could interfere.
.The "pals," Edward Colman and
Edward Huffman, both living at
140834 Chicago street, and both a
year older than Bevins, declared
that they "were getting revenge on
Bevins for squealing on them."
Ihe three youths were arrested
Wednesday. Bevins told police that
they were members of a eanar led
by a "bold vampire" and an ex-soldier.
A turnkey stopped the fisrht and
put Bevins in another cell. He will
be taken to the county jail.

oonement were cognizant of the ac
tual conditions surrounding iron and
steel mills. It was claimed that
workers were eager for the strike;
that they were discriminated against
tor union activities, ana rnat tne
oreanized workers would lose con
fidence in their leaders if they
turned back and deserted the men
at this time.
Strike Circular.
The strike circular, which has al
ready been distributed among steel
workers throughout the country,
reads in part:
"The workers on the iron and
steel mills and blast furnaces not
working under union agreements
are requested not to go to work on
September 22, and to refuse to re
sume their employment until such
time as the demands of the organi
zations have been conceded by the
steel corporations.
Read Letter to Wilson.
The steel wrkers' national com
mittee late tonight made public a
letter it has drafted and sent to Pres
ident Wilson, giving 11 reasons
whv it could not comply with his
request to postpone the steel workers'
strike called tor next Monday, i he
letter also recites the history of the
movement to better the conditions
of the workers and expresses faith
m the presidents 'desire to bring
about a conference" with employers.
"We regret that for the first time
your call on organized labor can
not meet with tavorable response,
the letter states. "If delay were no
more than delay, even at the cost of
loss of membership in our organiza
tions, we would urge the same to
the fullest of our ability notwith
standing the men are firmly set for
an immediate strike. But delay here
means the surrender of all hope."
