The Anglo-French defense pact with a copy of the Franco-American pact attached, was submitted to the Com'-mons with the text of the general treaty signed at Versailles last Saturday. Its terms, which had been generally known in advance of their receipt by the House of Commons, caused no surprise here. In addition to the kaiser all other persons "supremely responsible for the war," will be brought to trial before the international tribunal, the Premier added. His announcement was a death blow to the German element, which had hoped the allies would accept Beth- ately give military aid to France in the event of an unprovoked attack upon her by Germany, it was learned here today. It was understood here that he would lay this pact before the Senate at the same time he submits the general treaty for ratification.

Altho announcement was made at the time the official summary of the treaty was made public early in May, it had been lost sight of in the bitter debate that has raged about the League of Nations covenant since that time. It was learned that all senators who will continue to oppose ratification of the League of Nations covenant will be fund lined up against the pact evenin; on the vas louay ana ev-erything vrea(lines3 by t0' morrow eas said.
