PARIS. July The American-French.
British defensive treaty, which was
a"aned on Saturday mornlnc, and Is be
Inc carried to Washington by President
Wilson personally, shows distinctive
chances from the outline heretofore
given, one chance making- It far more
powerful and the other affecting Its
application.
The announcement of the measure, as
first printed, and later given disin
genuous denial by those speaking for
the president who reared the news
might unfavorably affect the league ol
nations chances, said the treaty was to
become operative in the event of ag
jcresaive action by Germany against
France.
Cass fee Aetlaa Detailed.
The actual covenant, which Arthu
J. Balfour, acting chief of the British
commission, calls a tripartite alliance
for defense, defines such an aggressive
action as being a violation of any of
the military clauses of the peace treaty
which are recited fully, and accent
vate the point that failure to comply
with any of them shall be regarded as
a violation of all and. ipso facto, shall
constitute an attack upon France.
This provision goes further than any
one here expected and makea good the
claims of Premier Clemenceau'a sup
porters that, while seemingly making
concessions to the theory of the league
e( nations, he bad actually scored a
great victory In holding up hia conten
ion that a balance of power waa the
surest means of preserving peace.
ae Mnt Aeeept.
The second point of differentiation is
that the tripartite treaty Is not to be
tome effective If either the American
senate or the British parliament fails
- to ratify It. Both most accept the un
dertaking If the agreement is to live.
In case Washington rejects the plan,
which Is not wholly unlikely and. at
), ia more probable than that Ureal
Britain will, it doea not follow that
France will be left alone.
On the contrary, in that event Great
.Britain will bind herself more closely
to France than aha does under the
trrmi of the present project, and w-ll
revise the dual alliance that existed
before the war when Russia alo was
a concomitant to the pledge.
Wtltwa KaswBsea Plaa.
President ' Wilson purposes to fight
ard for this treaty, although it was
aatd. In a recent official statement, that
be would merely lay the document be
fore the senate without recommenda
tion. France protested against such a
tours, and Insisted that a moral obi
station rests upon Sir. Wilson to push
It with all fervor.
He has come around to this view and
oill give his best effort to gaining
sanction for the undertaking. He ex
Iects most opposition will arise from
those who think the plan Implies weak
itejs In the league of nations, and he is
preparing a campaign with the thought
ef successfully refuting this argument.
ata-Bbllaar Blew srta.
Another point he will have to face la
the revival of the prejudice against
foreign entangling alliances, which
some have laid aside for the league of
rations, bat objert to abandoning in
iaror of individual nations.
Preaident Wtlaon professes himself
as sanguine over the outcome, although
it may be doubted if the scheme en
gaged the support of any of his asso
ciatea or the American mission. It Is
an open secret that Secretary Lansing
opposed it on constitutional and polit
ical grounds.

Colonel Frederick "W. Lucas, in charge
of the British admiralty arrangements
for the reception of the dirigible R-34
after its flight across the Atlantic, an
nounced tonight tnat unless unusually
heavy winds or storms already had
been encountered, the dirigible would
arrive over Roosevelt field early Friday
afternoon.
No attempt would be made to land,
he said, until evening, because too
much hydrogen gas would be wasted in
making a landing during the hot hours
of the day. There is a bare possibility,
however, that with favorable winds the
giant craft will arrive Friday morning
and land immediately.
Extra Crews Oa Hand.
Everything was In readiness tonight
for the dirigible's reception. Two hun
dred mechanics, trained in the handling
of lighter than air craft, and seven
provincial army balloon companies of
three officers and 100 enlisted men
each, have been brought here and
placed at the disposal of the British of
ficers, who will direct the landing and
mooring of the R-34.

Supreme Court to Decide Whether
Signers Are Excluded Because
of Failure to Vote.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 2. -(Special.)
Washington wets believe they have
scored again on the drys In a manda
tory order issued by Chief Justice Hoi
comb this afternoon at the insistence
of John F. Murphy, local attorney for
the California grape growers. This
order stops all further canvass of ref-
erendum petitions by the secretary of
state until the supreme court deter
mines whether the petition shall not be
returned to registration officials for
the certification of signers excluded
because of having failed to vote at the
last general election.
Under election law effective until
June 11 of this year, failure to vote in
a general election canceled registration
automatically. As amended, biennial
registration only Is now required,
whether the elector votes or not. Issues
raised today will determine whether a
citizen is legally disqualified from sign
ing a .referendum petition because he
was listed as not registered by failure
to vote.
Argument is set for July 25 In the
supreme court. The secretary of state
had completed checking names on the
grape growers' referendum of the leg
islative resolution for ratification of
the national prohibition amendment.
Acceptance of a referendum on this
action was directed by the supreme
court several weeks ago in a decision
on which the judges divided, f ive to
four.
The official count will be delayed un
til the supreme court passes upon the
latest writ issued.
