Treaty Requires France's Signa-

Three.
A despatch from Paris says' -It
is expected in French circles that the
discussion of the German peace treaty
will open about .& ust 1.0th in the
Chamber of Deputies, and tivili con-
tinue fpr three or four days. There
will then be a three or four-day dis-
cussion in the Senate.
A suggestion that the French would.
not consider the treaty until the Unit-
ed States had acted, came from M.
Franklin -Bouillon and other oppon-
ents to Premier Clernenceau, who are
considered to have political reasons
for delay. But it lis generally believed
that M. Clemenceau will be able to
bring about a speedy consideration.
AsJapan is supposed to have a copy
of the treaty by this time, and the
Emperor's ratification is expected at
an early date, French officials are of
the opinion that the treaty will be-
come efFeetiv'e when the French ratify,
about August 20th. England has al-
ready ratified the -treaty, and the sign-
atures of only three great powers are
necessary to make it effective.

SALVAGE WORK DANGEROUS.
Crews Face Death in Many Ways 'Try
inc0 to Save Ships.
Salvage crews face death in man)
ways trying to save the vessels sunk
in the war by German submarines,
says a London despatch. One of the
most perilous incidents of this service
was that of a navy commander who
cut away the nose of a lite torpedo
that had become jammed in the deck
of a destroyer. So dangerous was the
task that tite naval authorities towed
the destroyer three miles out to sea
before they would permit the attempt.
The salvage work has advanced
very rapidly and become vary profit-
able., Subniereibie lifting devices,
never before thought of, have been de.
vised and put into successful, opera-
tion. Dangers from gases due to do-
caging gra) cargoes have been elim-
inated by scientific research. Diving

point where it is now merely a part of
the day's work of the salvage man.
