iWashington, June 28.—President

signing of the peace treaty, mSde a
plea for the acceptance of the treaty
and the covenant of the league of na

Secretary Tumulty, said:

It is a severe treaty in the duties and

but it is severe only because great
purviews of peace, struck the first

Christian Smuts lodged with his
signature was another disappointment

been able to find the way to liberty.
It ends, once for all, an old and in

peoples of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and domin
