TROOPS DASH INTO MEXICO ON BANDIT HUNT; WILSON SAYS HE WILL AGREE TO INTERPRETATIONS, GIVES FRANK REPLIES WHEN QUIZZED BY SENATORS A !- RIGHTS DFU.S.. Wants Interpretations Apart From Ratification, He Says at Conference -T BRITISH PLANS WERE USED IN DRAFTING COVENANT Upholds Articles X and XVI. Urges Speedy Action Holds Covenant Saves Shantung By the Associated Press Washington, Aug. 10. In n con ference at the White House today, un precedented in American history, Presi dent Wilson discussed the peace treaty with the Senate foreign relations com mittee, answered questions put by sen ators and save out a stenographic transcript of the proceedings to the public. Some of the inside details of tho Peace Conference, how the league of nations covenant was drawn, and other historic happenings verc handed out verbatim for the world to read, In con trast to the time-honored procedure of secrecy, presidential and senatorial "confidence." Nothing approaching the conference in that respect is recalled since Oeorge Washington went to the Senate to dis cusb troubles with the Indians. Pleads for Ratification . .Making a plea for ratification of tho treaty, that the world may be turned wholly back to a peaco basis, the President said he saw.no rcasonsble objection to the Senate expressing its Interpretation of the league-of-nntions covenant so long br those interpreta tions did not actually become part of the act of ratification. The President intimated that the league of nations would prevent Japan from assuming any complete sover eignty over Shantung. If Interpretations were part of the formal ratification, the President con tended, long delays would follow, as other governments would have to "ac cept in effect the language of the Sen ate as the language of the treaty before ftjlfication would, be complete." ''.'Most of the interpretations, the Pres ident said, seemed to him to suggest the; "plain meaning of the Instrument Itself." Upholds Article X The much-discussed Article X, the President told the senators, was not of doubtful interpretation when read In connection with the whole covenant, i The council, he said, could only "ad vise" and, as its action must be unani mous, the affirmative vote of the United States would be necessary to nuy ques tion affecting it. The President said that Article 10 constitutes a grave and solemn obliga tion. "But it is a moral, not a legal, obligation, nnd leaves our Congress ab solutely free to put its own Interpreta tion upon it in all caRcsthat call for action," he said. "It is binding in conscience only, not in law." - .The President said the United Statpa II TS pSSsT would have "complete freedom of choice ma (a tlin nnnllnntlnn nt imh" In no IM ititr ujij'daiiuu wi iui vj tit t-Cai " rying out Article X, of the league cove nant. Favors One Interpretation "I do hope that we arc at liberty, contemporaneously with our acceptance of the treaty, to interpret our moral ob ligations under that article," Mr. Wil- son said. The President told the committee the league council would have "nothing whatever" to do with deciding whether the United States had fulfilled its obli gations in case of, withdrawal from the league. Article XVI, the President said, pro vided that where there is a dispute found to be solely within the jurisdiction of one of the parties, under international law, the league council shall so report and make nn recommendation for Its rettleinent. Immigration, tariffs' and the like, the President said, cjearly came under that provision. ; - Utilized British Plans The plou for the league finally sub mitted In Paris, the President saldX In answer to questions, bad beeu built up first from a plan drawn by a British committee headed by a Mr. Phtllimore, and later Including ideas,, from a plan drawn by General Smuts, Fromftbeso nnd other discussions, coupled with the President's own ideas, the league plan was made. "That is tho full btdry of how the plan I sent to the committee wag drawn up," the President stated.

He said: Mr. Chairman : I am sincerely glnd that the com mittee should have responded in this way to my intimation that I would llko to be of service to if. I welcome the opportunity for a frank and full interchange of views. I hope, too, that- this conference will serve to expedite your consider ation of the treaty of peace. I beg that you will pardon nnd Indulge mcy if I again urge that virtually the whole task of bringing the country back to normal conditions of life nnd industry waits upon the decision of the Senate with regard to the terms of the peace. Urges Speedy Action T venture thus again to urge my advice that the action of the Senate with regard to the treaty be taken at the earliest practicable moment, be cause the problems v. 1th which ,w are face to face in the readjustment of our national life are of the most pressing and critical character, will require for their proper solution the most Intimate and disinterested co operation of nil parties arid nil in terests, and cannot be postponed without manifest peril to our people and to all the national advantages we hold most dear. May I mention a few of the matters which cannot be hnndlcd with intel ligence until the country knows the chnractcr of the peuco it is to have? I dd so only by n very few samples. , The copper mines of Montana and Alaska, for example, are "being kept open and rn operation only ftt a great cost and loss, in part upon bor rowed money; the zluc mines of Missouri, Tennessee- and Wisconsin are. being operated at about one-half thelr.rtepacUy ;-.thaaad of Idaho, Illinois and Missouri reaches only n portion of its former market; there is an immediate need for cotton belt ing, nnd also for lubricating oil which cannot be met all because the channels of trade arc barred by war when there is no war. The same is true of raw cotton, of which the central empires nlone formerly pur chased nearly four million bales. Production Awaits Peace And these are only examples.

GILBERT Staff Coireflpondent of the ISvenlnc Public l.ntfer Washington, Aug. 10. President Wilson will yield and fight. lie falls back to his Hindenburg line, which is that the Senate reservations shall be merely interpretations of the trenty with Germany nnd the covenant and not, in effect, amendments requiring ac ceptance by other signatory powers. That Is the meaning of the statement which he read to the Senate foreign relations committed in the East Boom of the White House this morning. The President prepared for what was one of the great historic moments in the de velopment of our constitution, n meet ing which may bo tho beginning of new relations between Congress and the Executive. The interpellation of the Iresident himself, in committee, In stead of the interpellation, European fashion, of cabinet members on the floor of Congress, of which many have dreamed. The President prepared for it by having a statement ready, so that tils views would reach the nation swiftly and clearly, Instead of casually, by the way of question and answer.

ENOUGH N terial, a single importnnt foodstuff or n single clnss of manufactured goods which is not in the same case Our full, normal profitable produc tion waits on peace. Our military plans of course wait upon it. We cannot intelligently or wisely decide how large a navnl or military force we shall maintnin or whn.t our policy with regard to mili tary training is to be until we have peace not only, but nlso until we know how pence is to be sustained, whether by the arms of single nations or by the concert of nil the great peoples. And there Is more than the difficulty involved. The vast surplus properties of the army include, not food nnd clothing merely, whose snle will affect normal production, but great manufacturing establishments which should be re stored to their former uses, great stores of machine tools, nnd all sorts of merchandise which must lie idle until peace and military policy are definitively determined. Ily the same token there can be no properly studied national budget until then The nntions that ratify the treaty, such as Great Britain, Belgium nnd France, will be in a position to lay their pluns for controlling the mar kets of'eentral Europe without com petition from us, if we do not pres ently act. We have no consular agents, no trade representatives there to look after our interests. There are large nreas of Europe whose future will lie uncertain nnd questionable until their people know the final settlements of pence and the forces which nre to administer and sustain it. Without determinate markets our production cannot proceed with In telligence or confidence. There can be no stabilization of wages because there can be no settled conditions of employment. There cnu be no easy or normal industrial credits, because there can be no confidence or perma nent revival of business. But I will not weary; ju- witltt obvious examples. 1 will only venturu to repent that every element of nor mal life among us depends upon and awaits the ratification ot the treaty of pence; and nlso that we cannot afford to lose n singlo summer's day by not doing all that wo can to mitigate the winter's suffering, which, unless wo find means to prevent it, may prove disastrous to a large por tion of the world nnd may, at its worst, bring upon Europe conditions Continued on Pace Fourteen Column Threw (FINDS WIFE SUICIDE, H.

Bailey, a widely known photographer, hurled himself be tween two enrs of n rapidly moving train at Twenty-fifth and tocust streets and was ground to death under the wheels. The two young children who survive the couple cannot understand what hap pened to their parents. Yesterday after noon about 8 o'clock they returned with thlr mother and father to this city, after a week-end stay at the seashore. Their mother was 111, and rather than disturb her, their father took them to o restaurant in West Philadelphia for supper. When they returned home they saw the mother lying on the floor in the gas-filled laundry. A rubber tube ran from an open gas jet to her mouth. Body Taken to Hospital Tho body of their mother was car ried to their automobile, and a hurried trip was made to the hospital. Then their father took them to the home of an Intimate friend of the family, whom the children called "aunt.". And they bnve uot seen him since. HI health is believed to have prompted Mrs. Bailey to end her life. Her hus band, whose mind is believed to have been unbalanced by the shock of find ing her dead, wandered about the streets of the city four hours and then jumped to his death under thevtraln. His body was cut In two by the wheels. The children who survive the couple are Herbert, Jr., seven years old, and William, five years.
