TROOPS Believes They Should Stay on Rhine Until All Material Is Delivered HELP RECONSTRUCTION President Feels That America Should Play Generous Part in Aiding Europe By Associated Press. W'a-shington, July 10.—President Wilson, conferring with newspaper correspondents at the White House to-day indicated that he was ex tremely gratified that the Treaty of Peace had been ratified so prompt ly by the German National Assembly. The President also indicated that) he felt trade relations between Ger- J many and the associated nations | should be resumed at the earlielt moment possible; for without trade! Germany could not meet the repara tions demanded of her. It was made clear that the Presi- ' dent felt troops should be maintain ed irr Germany, until the Germans had complied with all the military terms of the Treaty. It was pointed out that there were several million j veteran soldiers in Germany and | munitions sufficient for them to op-1 erate. The Germans have from one to I four months ir.- which to deliver all material except that sufficient for | the reduced German army provided j for in the Peace Treaty, and the I Presient believes American troops I should stay on the Rhine until the material is delivered. Discussing the peace negotiations at Paris, President Wilson let it he known that the League of Nations Covenant will be In every treaty ne gotiated at Versailles, including jthat with Bulgaria, with which country the United SStaStes never was at war. In response to questions regard ing the Flume situation, the Presi dent pointed out that the Treaty of London provided that Fiume was to go to Croatia and that Italy did not lay claim to the city when that treaty was ratified by the various governments. Mr. Wilson feels that the United States must play a generqps part In the reconstruction of Europe, but he. believes this should be accomplished by establishing some sound basis <*f credit rather than by direct govern ment aid. To Protect Prance Mr. Wilson has the impression that the French people would he cut to the heart if the United States should fail to approve the special treaty. He does not believe there would be any difficulty in recogniz ing such an act of aggression by Germany as would necessitate American aid to France under the pact. Mr. Wilson let it be known to the correspondents that the trealy with France was designed for the pro tection of France until such time as this special guarantee would no longer be needed because of the pro tection to be afforded all nations by the League of Nations.

LEAGUE OF FREE NATIONS IS INDISPENSABLE UNDER NEW ORDER WILSON DECLARES BEFORE SENA TE Rebel Yells Greet His Entrance DISPOSES OF DIFFICULTIES Pays Tribute to Valor of Forces Under U.S.Flag By Associated Press. Washington, July 10.—President Wilson in presenting the peace treaty with Germany to the Senate to-day declared that "a league of free na tions has become a practical neces sity," to which the framers of the treaty felt obliged to turn "as an indispensable instrumentality for the maintenance of the new order it has been tliei;- pupose to set up In the world." The "most skeptical" of the peace conferees at Paris, the President said, had turned more and more to the league as discussion progressed in seeking solution of the problems that arose in framing the term of the treaty itself. "The fact that {he covenant of the league was the first substantive part of the treaty to be worked out and agreed upon," the President said, "while all else was in solution, help ed to make the formulation of the rest easier." Mr. Wilson said the agreement on the covenant had given the con ferees a feeling that their work was to be permanent rind that the most practical among them "were at last the most ready to refer to the' League of Nations the superinten dence of all Interests which did not admit of Immediate determination, of all administrative problems which we're to require a continuing over sight. Greeted by Yells "What had seemed a counsel of perfection," said the President, "had come to seem a plain counsel of necessity. The League of Nations was the practical statesman's hope of success in many of the most dif ficult things he was attempting." When the President entered the Senate chamber, escorted by a com mittee of senators, the crowded gal leries rose and cheered for a min ute in disregard of the Senate rules. The President, mounting to the vice president's seat, spoke briefly with Vice-President Marshall as the cheering continued, punctured with "rebel" yells. No Explanation of Terms President Wilson to-day laid the peace treaty with Germany before the Senate without any attempt to explain its specific terms. His ad dress, which required forty minutes for delivery, was devoted almost wholly to the League of Nations. American isolation, the President said, ended twenty years ago at the close of the war with Spain. Fear of American motives now also had ended, he declared. "There can be no question of our ceasing to be a world power," said Mr. Wilson. "The only question is whether we can refuse the moral leadership that is ottered us, whether we shall accept or reject the con fidence of the world." The war and the Peace Conference in his opinion, the President said, had already answered that question, "and nothing but our mistaken ac tion can alter it." After the end of the great war, the President said, "every enlighten ed Judgment demanded that, at whatever cost of Independent action, every government that took thought for its people or for justice or for ordered freedom should lend Itself to a new purpose and utterly de- [Continued on Pnjgn 4.] Child-Wife Must Stay in Jail Until Grand Jury Passes on Child's Death Mrs. Kathleen Stewart, the 17- year-old mother charged with giv ing her 20-day-old child carbolic acid, causing Its death, will not be permitted to enter bail until the grand Jury acts on the murder in dictment in September, Judge S.
