12 PACT OPPONENTS MEET WITH KNOX Senators Who Believe Rejec tion Only Course Get Together Washington. Aug. 23. —-• Senators who believe the rejection of the Treaty of Peace now before the Sen ate is the only method of Insuring the safety of the United States in future held a conference yesterday in the office of Senator Knox (Pa.). Those present by no means repre sented the entire number who take this position, but represent the most irreconcilable opposition to the pact. Although the conference was hur riedly and quite informally got to gether, it took up seriously the ques tion of measures by which to organ ize the growing opposition of the country and make possible the elim ination Of the United States from all connection with world settlement as now proposesd. Two parts are in cluded in the program: 1. To insure assurances that thq Senate *ciLl not permit the Treaty to come to a vote on any vital matters for a few weeks while the Senators can absent themselves from Wash ington and make a campaign to in form the country. 2. Then to arrange speaking tours for several Senators that will cover the country and carry to it an accurate understanding of the Treaty as it is now understood by the Senators who have been studying it for months. The conference was in a way the reply of the opposition to the Admin istration move, through the White House conference and the Pittman resolution, to have the Treaty rushed to ratification without even reserva tions, but merely with an interpreta tive resolution outside the ratification measure. The instant collapse of that program on the very day it was pre sented to the Senate was followed by its repudiation to-day by the White House. Cheering to Opposition This was all very cheering to the "shock troops" of the unrelenting opposition, and their plans for a re jection fight were taken in hand at once.

On the one hand is selfish, sordid, satanic Bolshevism, caring neither for Justice nor brotherhood —the way of violence, greed and shameless immoralities. On the other is Chris tian democracy." Rumania's Signature Depends on Modifications By Associated Press. Paris, Thursday, Aug. 21.—Ru mania's signature to the Treaty of Peace with Austria still depends upon modifications of the clause re lating to guarantees to minorities, according to information from au thoritative Rumanian sources. (Paris advices Friday said the Aus trian treaty had been completed and will be transmitted to the Austrians Monday). The Rumanians point out that by royal decrees which will be ap proved by the new Chamber of Deputies to be elected in September, minorities, not only in the new tei ritory attached to Rumania, but in the old kingdom, have been more amply protected than the Peace Treaty provides. Rumania, however, does not desire to have forced upon her, it is said, provisions which it is feared would be interpreted by the minorities as giving them really the upper hand.

TROOP GOING DEEPERJNTO MEXICO [Continued from First Page.] from Major General Dickman. ac cording to Secretary Baker, and this telegram later was "killed" by the commander of the Southern De partment with the information that this story and a complete report on operations to date were being sent by mail to Washington. Additional cavalry troops were ordered to leave for the river last night It is possible they will join the punitive expedition to relieve part of the troops now operating in Mexico. The number and destina tion of the troops were withheld at military headquarters. Wild rumors that the bandit Ren teria's headquarters had been lo cated and that bombing planes had gone there to bomb the rendezvous were in circulation. They were branded as ridiculous at headquar ters. ' That an effort would be made later to pay the remaining $6,500 ransom to Jesus Renteria or his family was indicated by General Dickman. He took the position at the time Cap tain Matlack rescued Lieutenant Davis without payment of the total ransom, that the United States gov ernment is too great to go back on its word, even to bandits. He stat ed to-day that he feared Captain Matlack's action would result in treachery on the part of Mexicans in case other Americans are cap tured: Aerial Bombs May Be Used to Wipe Out Mexican Bandit Bands Marfa, Tex., Aug. 33. Two forces of troops. Carranza Federals operating far to the south and American cavalry farther north, to day are scouring the Conchos river region of Mexico In an endeavor to clear that section of bandits who pre cipitated an expedition into the sou thern republic by capturing and holding for ransom two American Army aviators. Five bandits here have been killed so far. Major General Joseph T. Dick, man, commandfer of the Southern Department, left last night for San Antonio after familiarizing himself with the details of the punitive ex pedition. Before leaving the Gen eral said an effort would be made to pay the bandits the $6,500 re maining of the Yansom money for the aviators. The possibility of using bombs In wiping out the bandits developed with the arrival of aerial bombe for experimental purposes and an an nouncement that they might be used If a bandit force should be found in any considerable numbers. Reports that the expeditionary forces would be withdrawn at an early date had no foundation, Gen eral Dickman saying the expedition would remain In Mexico as long as they were following a hot trail. There was no explanation ot the rescinding of the order for addi tional troops to support the puni tive expedition. Believes Reciprocal " Border Guard Service Should Be Established Mexico City, Friday. Aug. 23. Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treas ury stated in an Interview that the Mexican and American Governmenta should sign an agreement for a re ciprocal border guard service as a step toward preventing clashes be tween the two countries. Ignacto Bonillas, Mexican ambas sador at Washington, according to Senor Cabrera, would be "eminently fitted" for conducting negotiations with this object. The difficulties which prevented the adoption of such an agreement, at Atlantic City in 1916 were due to the fact that the American delegation wanted the agreement signed immediately, he said, while the Mexican commis sion held out for a withdrawal. Senor Cabrera pointed out that at present such a difficulty would not be met with, since the early with drawal of the Eighth cavalry, now pursuing bandits in the State of Chi huahua was expected.
