Washington, June 10.—Telegrams' • requesting J. P. Morgan, Henry P. 'Davidson, Thomas W. Lamont, Jacob 1 •Schiff, Paul M. Warburg and Frank .A. Vanderlip, New York financiers, !- to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to-morrow and testify in the inyestigation of how ■copies of the Peace Treaty reached private interests In New York, were sent out to-day by direction of Chair man Lodge. Meantime members of Congress had copies of the Treaty, which were published to-day in the Congression al Record. Copy For Each Member Each member of Congress to-day had a copy of the treaty. The volum- j lnous and much defeated document •was contained in the Congressional Record, printed by order of the Senate I late yesterday after an epoch-making fight and just after a message from President Wilson had been read saying he could not send the text of the treaty J to the Senate without breaking faith j with other members of the council. The copy of the treaty, brought to I this country by a newspaperman, went Into "the record as a result of vigorous efforts of Senator Borah, of Idaho, and other Republican leaders. It was not. however, until Senator Borah began reading the 100,000 word text of the treaty, which would have required many hours to complete that oppo nents of publication capitulated. Probe Resumed Tomorrow The inquiry into the manner in which copies of the treaty reached unauthor ized persons In New York will prob ably be resumed by the foreign rela tions committee to-morrow or Thurs day. The sergeant-at-arms was ex pected to complete summoning wit nesses to-day. Wants Creed Out of Treaty A resolution to have the Senate de clare It could not concur In the League of Nations provisions of the Peace Treaty as now drawn was in-' troduced by Senator Knox, Pennsyl vania, Republican, of the Foreign Relations Committee. The resolution, which is expected to bring to a more definite stage the fight being made against the League covenant, asks that the covenant be separated from the Peace Treaty be fore submitted to the Senate for ratification. At the request of Senator Knox, who announced he would later dis cuss it in the Senate, the resolution was referred to the Foreign Rela tions Committee. Notice to Peace Makers The resolution was offered by Sen ator Knox after a conference with Chairman Lodge, of the committee, and there were evidences that it would have the backing of most of those who have conducted the fight , against the League. It is under stood to be designed as an official notice to the Peace Conference that ratification of the Treaty in its pres ent form is opposed. Purposes of Resolution The Knox resolution proposes that "the Treaty shall he so drawn as to permit any nation to reserve without prejudice to itself for future separate and full consideration by its people the question of any League of Nations," but that the obligations of Germany and her co belligerents under the Treaty shall not be thereby affected. The resolution also would declare it the policy of the United States Government, "in order to meet fully and fairly our obligations to our selves and to the world that the freedom and peace of Europe being again threatened by any power or combination of powers, the United States will regard such a situation with grave concern as a menace to its own peace and freedom." Provides For Defense In such an event, the resolution proposes that the United States con sult with other powers affected with a view to devising means for the removal of such menace and will, if necessity arises in Ihe future, "carry out the same complete accord and co-operation with our chief co belligerents for the defense of civ ilization."

GLOOM AT WORLD PEACE BOARD AS BIG PROBLEMS IN WAY STAY UNSOLVED French Premier's Attitude Toward Huns Unchanged UNYIELDING IN ALLIED DEMAND Silesia and Poland Loom as Barrier to Progress By Associated Press. Paris, June 10. The Council of Four met to day amid an atmosphere of considerable pessimism over the \ larger questions of peace mak ing with Germany still unsolv ed. It is understood that Pre i mier Clemenceau has not moved from his postion against tuiy modification of the peace terms. No settle ment of the Silcsian | question or that concerning the i Polish western frontier has been reached. It is stated that the Silesian problem is tied up with the difficulty of holding a plebiscite without Allied occupation, no troops being available for the purpose. Reparation Plans The plan for reparations which is now proposed in the Council of Pour, according to Marcel Hutin, of the Echo De Paris, consists: First, in seizing German liquid assets to the value of 25,000,000 francs. Second, in leaving a margin of two years so that an accurate idea of the economic and financial situa-1 tion in Germany may be gained. Third, in exacting, after two years, payment on account of 125,000,000,- 000 francs in gold or negotiable se curities, and Fourth, in giving the reparations committee authority to raise the 'amount of the annual payments by | Germany, should her capacity to pay I increase. While the Peace Conference heads are devoting as much of their time as feasible to the framing of the reply to the German counter proposals this work has not yet reached such a stage as to make possible the naming of a definite date for the presentation of the document to the German plenipo tentiaries. Vltlnintum Goes to Hungary There has been considerable inter ference with the deliberations of the Council of Four over this question of primary interest. Yesterday, for Instance, the council was compelled to devote much of its session to con- Slovakia, where the advance of the Hungarian Soviet troops has caused a serious situation. Making l.engnr Seat Easier The main question which the coun cil now is considering in connection with the German treaty is the pro posed change in the covenant of the 1 eague of Nations whereby the terms of Germany's admission would be made easier. The changes are said to be prompted mainly by a desire to forestall the possible formation of another combination of nations with Russia, Germany and the former Ger manic allies taking the leading roles. It is felt in some quarters that it otild be easier to deal with Germany as a member of the league than if she remained outside.

AUGUST FIRST IS TO SEE WHOLE WORLD AT PEACE By Associated Press, Paris, June 10.—The signing of the Peace Treaty by Germany before July 1 and its ratification by the various parliaments before August 1 are predicted to-day by the Echo de Paris. It expects the answer to the German counter proposals to be handed over on Friday. The course of the Germans, it thinks will be to replace the Scheidemann government by another in case the present government determines not to sign the terms. COURT ASKED TO FIX CHURCH OWNERSHIP Members Split When Rev. John Henry Miller Withdraws From Parent Organization to Operate Congregation as Free Lance in Religious Circles Members of the board of trustees and deacons of the Evangeli cal Lutheran Church of Holy Communion, Seventeenth and State streets, to-day brought injunction proceedings against the Rev. John Henry Miller, pastor of the church; William A. Gernert, William Bailey, H. H. Umholtz, J. A. Hamilton and Henry Quier, other officers and members of the congregation. The plaintiffs ask the court for an order decreeing U. G. Nagle, J. L. Cressman and M. C. Bushey as trustees are to have charge of the church property; that the defendants should be declared trespassers and be restrained from intervention with the business and property of the church, and the Rev. Mr. Miller to be re strained from acting as minister and pastor so long as he is not a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium. The action is the result, the plain tiffs claim, of the Rev. Mr. Miller's recent move when he severed his connection with the Evangelical Lu theran Ministerium of Pennsylvania and adjacent States, and since that time has acted together with the other defendants, as an independent church organization assuming full control of the church property. A date will be fixed for hearing the action.

On his arival at the hall he was welcomed by Past Great Sachem Charles E. Pass, who presided at to-day's open irg session, and who escorted the Gov ernor to the speaker's stand.

When the latter arose there were more cheers and members of the Degree of Pochohontas who occupied seats in the gallery gave their greetings. Governor Sproul said' there were plenty of things going on just now that needed his attention, hut that he could not afford to miss an opportunity to greet the members of one of the lead ing American Fraternal organizations of the United States.
