We felt there should be no sale until we had a real inventory. But Mr. Keyes, vice president of the Curtiss company, got Secretary Baker to order to make the sale.

Troops Will Not Be: Sent to Upper Silesia " Before Pact Is Ratified " " " " . Administration Announces That American Diplomat ic and Military Participation in Certain Peace - Treaty Precisions flfust Wait Until Senate Has " Acted on Measure Won't Accept Invitation to Take Place on Commissions Now. Washington,' Oct. 20. Taking notice of reports that the United States might aid in carrying out provisioqs of the peace treaty in advance of the treaty's ratification by the senate, the administration announced today that American diplomatic and military participa tion in certain of these provisions must wait until the senate has acted. At the State department it was declared this government would not accept the invitation of the supreme council at Versailles to take a place immediately on the international commissions set up by the treaty. and at the War department it was made clear that no American troops would be used without senate sanc tion to police districts where the treaty provides for plebiscites un der the military supervision of the great powers." - The two announcements were made simultaneously and generally were accepted in the senate, where tne possiDUtty ot premature Ameri can participation irt the treaty has been one of the storm centers -of criticism, as amounting to an ad ministration declaration of policy on the subject Senators on both sides of the treaty controversy ex-J pressed the opinion privately that the administration stand would . aid in hastening the final roll call on ratification. No Troops to Silesia. In his announcement regarding the use of American troops. Secre tary Baker denied specifically sug gestions made in the senate debate that 5,000 soldiers recently sent to Goblenz were to proceed to Upper Silesia and help in the plebiscite there prior to American ratification. He declared the department realized fully that it would have no aur thority to take "such a step if a senate reservation forbidding it were adopted, and added that in the cir cumstances there was no desire to anticipate senate action. A reservation on this subject and on limiting American participation in the various diplomatic commis sions to be created are i" orepara tion. One effect of the State de partment's announcement was to set at rest reports that President Wilson might disregard the advice of the foreign relations committee and name Tin American to act unoffi cially on the powerful reparations commission. When he asked the committee's consent to such a step some weeks ago it replied that neither it nor the executive had any authority to put treaty provisions into force until ratification had been accomplished. Bankers on Job. It is understood, however, that financial advisers now in Europe to look after Treasury department bus iness and American financial and trade interests generally will keep in close touch with the work of the commission after it is created. The' administration is known to regard the commission's task of collecting Germany's reparation bill and su pervising European financial .rehab ilitation as one directly affecting American finance and commerce. The other great powers are said to be very anxious that the United States have full representation from the start on this and several other commissions that are to be organ ized, and there has been considers? ble speculation among senators as to how far that desire was reflected in the decision at Paris not to put the treaty immediately into effect as regards the nations that have rati fied it Real progress toward senate ac tion on the treaty was made today when the leaders nut an effectual damper pn debate and permitted the senate clerks to finish the work of reading the treaty text Just before adjournment the johnson amendment to equalize voting pdw er in. the league assembly was for mally brought up for action, and it will have th. floor, except for the privileged "morning hour" each day, until it is disposed of. It' is the last but one of the committee amend ments. May Vote Tuesday. Some of the more optimistic thought a vote on the Johnson measure might be possible tomor row, but the general, prediction was that roll call would not be reached before Wednesday at the earliest Other Amendments, including a number prepared by individual sen ators, are expected to occupy the rest of the week. What little debate there was to day was confined to the Irish ques tion, which may get before the sen ate again during the morning hour tomorrow. Senator Walsh, demo crat, Montana, indicated today that he would call up at tomorrow's ses sion his resolution to declare it the purpose of the United States to bring Ireland's case before the league. If he does, a lively debate is expected. The senate will meet an hour earlier than usual, however, in order to spend as much time as possible on the Johnson amend Vessel Hits Mine. London, Oct. 20. The steamship Guimba, according to a Overcoats, England, wireless message, struck a mine near the lightship Sunday. The steamer is reported to be making Hamburg under her own steam. .
