BY ROBERT BENDER (United I'ress Btaff Correspondent WASHINOTON. March 17. Appar ent disagreement between Prealdun Wilson and Forelgs. Minister PIchon ai to whether the League of Nations covenant could be embodied In the first peace treuty completed with Oer- many added fire to the league fight today. - Administration officials are obviously confused at the sltuatiun ar Ising In Paris. It hud been the vltfw here that the first or "preliminary' treaty with Germany would be only an extension of the armistice, not sub ject to ratification by the senate, and therefore not necessarily containing the league covenant. United I'ress dispatches, however, Hidicate the pre liminary treaty will be subject to sen ate ratification, and -will cover most of (he peace treaty articles including those for reparation. Indemnities and the arranging of iKtundarlc. In view 'of this the president will certainly carry his fight to a finish for embodi ment of the league in the first treaty, APOLOGY REQUIRED: EOR INSULT TO FLAG M'.M.ATO, March 17.
