(By United Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept.

by a six page report, containing sharp and bitter phrases directed at President Wilson, the peace treaty today was submitted to the senate by the foreign relations committee. The was filed by Senator Lodge and represents the views of the majority of the committee. A minority report will be filed by Senator Hiteh- cock. Half of the report is taken up with a. defense of the committee work, criticism of President Wilson, answers to arguments for the treaty advanced by the president ana its supporters and condemnation of the league of nations as a breeder of war The Remainder deals with the'text- ual amendments and league reservations adopted by the committee.

demand for speedy action by tho committee "was largely fhe woiK of the administration and its newspaper organs," the report says, and adds that the same demand was "dis seminated by certain great banking firms which had a direct pecuniary interest" in early ratification of the pact. The report also points out that other nations besides this have not latified the treaty' tho president be cause the committee lacked mforma tion, the reports declares the "ie sponsibilHy of the senate in regard this treaty is equal to that of the ex ecutive," and adds that the commit tee was "hampered by the impossi bility of securing full information ti which they were entitled." In meeting the argument that tradi lelations with Germany await ratifi cation, the report cites export figure to show that this tiade has been go ing on since the aimistice. The claim that adoption of amend rnents would involve resuming of the peace confe'rence the repoit says is "groundless." Argument similar to those used In senate debates are cited in suppor of the committee amendments give this country and Great Britain an equar number of votes in tin league, to transfer Shantung to China instead of Japan and to halt American participation in various commissions set up in the treaty, League reservations on the right of withdrawal, article the Monroe doctrine and domestic questions are next taken up and the report concludes" "When we are once caught in the meshes of a treaty of alliance or a league of nations composed of twenty-six other powers our freedom of action is gone To preserve American independence and American sovereignty and thereby best serve the welfare of mankind, the committee proposed these amendments an3 resei vations NINE THOUSAND IN CITY SCHOOLS Complete Reports Received Today "'f reports from all the public of 'the- city this morning at the office of the superintendent) show a total attendance of "exclusive of the high school.

There were a number of Sioux Indians, sporting white collars and looking quite natty. Bismarck is the center of the nonpartisan league country. When Wilson said America was founded to lead the world to liberty the crowd gave the first real yell. Another came when Wilson said America was sure to enter the league dl nations. "America's delay is injuring the whole world," Wilson charged Many prosperous looking men in the audience failed to join in the applause and sat with arms folded listening In judicial manner.

"The war is over but there is no peace," said Wilson. He argued against separating the league of nations from the peace treaty. The treaty will not work without the league, he said "You dare npt kill the young men of tho world for a dishonest purpose," he declared, emphasizing that hearings before the league council would prevent wars.
