Washington, June 3.?Senator Lodge, chairman of the Senate forI eign relations committee, told the i.1 Senate today lie had seen m iae hands of business interests in New y York a copy of the treaty with Ger* many, given out by American repren sentatives at Paris but withheld by y the State Department from the Sen* ate. [m The statement caused a sharp debate upon the course of President Wilson and the State Department 0 regarding publication of the treaty e text. ' j ? Says He Saw It. ^ "The treaty is in New York," said [ j Senator Lodge. <fI saw a copy of it | yesterday, I was offered a copy. But | I refused to accept it, saying it could 0 not come into my hands without be- 1 ing published. I heard of four cop- ; 8 ies in New York. As far as I can n make out the only place it is not allowed to come, is the Senate of the United States." The first suggestion that the treaty text was available in New | k York was made by Senator Borah, Republican^ of Idaho, when a ren quest was made by Senator Johnson, j Republican, <rf California, that his j j resolution asking the State Department for the text be allowed to go; y over . until \the woman suffrage j M amendment was disposed of by the - aensoe. i O^ EU.

"People were given these f copies abroad,* he continued, "some * may have been mailed. Yet we are 8 told that this i$ a delicate question." Without Official Copies. Senator $w&nson said neither the ' British nor French Parliaments had t been given official copies. r "Because Germany broke faith is ronsnn for the Senate to ask the _! president to break faith/' said Mr. ^; Swanson, that the committee could 0 j meet tomorrow, summon the acting secretary of State and leayi why the e 'text is not public. e "Regardless of any agreement, I t assume that when the president . learns that New York interests hiave .* it- in their possession, the president , will not longer feel under any obliB' gations to keep .faith." Not From Germans. Senator Borah interrupted, "I think the treaties in New York did ; mmn from the Germans." ! .Senator Swanson suggested that s the committee investigate. "I don't want any investigation," said Senator Borah. "I want the * president to know that those people " in New York are using it in a semi' public way for their private infors mation." " j "If the president made an agree 1 j ment not to give it out, tnere is nv F| reason why the president shouldn't " advise us of that fact, if it is a fact. " If that is true that copies have gone . 1 into the hands of special interests, . 3 I think the president would feel re- j ? lieved of his agreement and give us . k the treaty." Senator Johnson interrupted to ( - urge that the debate be closed and . * the woman suffrage resolution be , J passed and the incident was closed. m-' . ' 1 r Woodmen Memorial.'.

The Red Cross, in my opinion, as at Rimaucourt, fulfilled , its most exalted destiny as an agent j of humanity. The influence of the .

She has influenced tne i camp as a whole so that its very \ tone reflects her strong character 1 and I have always felt that without c her I should not have succeeded in c making "Rimaucourt the cleanest i place in France." I think we have I had the cleanest place in France, and c I acknowledge the predominating in- i fluence that the Red Cross has had f in securing that end.
