Tl A.'L ty witn me repuDiic 01 r ranee, im object of which is immediate militar; assistance to France of the Unite< States of America in case of an un provoked movement of aggressioi against her on the part of Germany I earnestly hope that this treaty wil meet with your cordial approval ans will receive an early ratification a your hands, along with the treaty o peace yrith Gemany. Now that yoi have had an opportunity to examin i the great document I presented t you two weeks ago, it seems oppoi tune to lay before you this treat; which is meant to be in effect a par of it. "It was signed on the same da; with the treaty of peace and is in tpriHpH an n fp.m-nnrjirv simnlemen to it. It is believed that the treat; with Germany itself provides protec tion to France against aggressioi from her recent enemy on the east but the years immediately ahead o us contain many incalculable possi | bilities. The covenant of the Leagu j of Nations provides for military ac J tion for ithe protection of its mem j bers only uopn advice of the counci | of the league?advice given, it is ti | be presumed, only upon deliberatio: | and acted upon by each ol the gov | eraments of the member states onl; if its own judgment justifies sue] action. The object of the specia treaty with France which I now sub mit to you is to provide for immedi ate assistance to France by , th j United States in case of any unpro |voked movement of aggression a I crninst her fov Germany withou waiting for the advice of the coun cil of the League of Nations tha such action be taken. It is to be a: j arrangement not independent of th I League of Nations, but under it. I It is, therefore, expressly provid , ed that this treaty shall be made th i subject of consideration at the sam | time with the treaty of peace wit i Germany; that this special arrangf ! ment shall receive the approval o the council of the league, and ths this special provision for the safet j of France shall remain in force onl lentil, upon application of one of th i parties to it, the council of the lej ^gue,, acting, if necessary, by a mi 1 jority vote, shall agree that the pr< j visions of the covenant of the leagu 'i afford her sufficient protection, j by considerations which will, I hopi I seem as persuasive and as irresistibl : to you as they seem to me. We ai : bound to France by ties of friendshi which we have always regarded an shal always regard as peculiarly sai red. She assisted us to win 01 J freedom as a nation. It is serious] I to be doubted whither we could ha\ J won it without he/ gallant and tim< !- WT a Unvo vonanflv Vtnrl +.ll l\ i.IU. ??o mug i wwi*v*j w! privilege of assisting in riving en< " mies, who were :.lso enemies of tli world, from her soil; but that do* not pay our debt to her. Nothin can pay such a debt. She now d< ' sires that wo should promise to len 1 our great force to keep her safe t ' gainst the power she has had mos rea-lon to fear. Another great n? ' lion volunteers the same promise. ] i:. one of the fine reversals of histor 1 that the other nation should be th very power from whom Frinc fought to set us free. \ ' "A new day has dawned. Old ar tagonisms are forgotten. The con mon cause of freedom and enlighter ment has created new comradeship and a new perception of what it i wise and necessary for great nation ' to do to free the world of intolei , able fear. Two governments wh wish to be members of the Leagu of Nations ask leave of the counc: of the league to be permitted to g the assistance of a friend whose situ ation has been found to be one o peculiar peril, withut waiting th advice of the league to act. "It is by taking such pledges a this that we prove ourselves faith l'ul to the utmost to the high obliga tions or gratitude and tested friend ship. Such an act as this seems t me to be one of the proofs that w are a people that sees the true near of duty and prefers honor to it own separate course of peace. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON."

WIRES GO BACK { TO THEIR OWNERS t Washington, July 30.?Govern ment control of telegraph and telephone properties will end at midnight e tomorrow night.
