April The state department has made publie the text of the revised covenant of of nations, as it will be presented, tomorrows, conference plenary at Paris.

The text follows, with parenthetical, insertions showing changes made public: THE COVENANT OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS: In order to promote co-operation and to achieve international peace and security, by the acceptance of obligations not to resort to war, by the prescription of open, just, and honorable relations between nations, by the firm establishment of understandings of international law ag to actual rule of conduct among governments, and by the maintenance of justice and a scrupulous respect for all treaty obligations in the dealings of organized peoples with one another, the high contracting parties agree to this covenant of the league of nations. (In the original preamble the last sentence read, "adopt this tion" instead of "agree to this ARTICLE ONE ARTICLE THREE The assembly shall consist of representatives of the members of the The original member league nations shall be those, of signatories which are named in the annex this covenant and also such of those other states named in the annex as shall accede without reservation to this covenant. Such accessions shall be effected by a declaration deposited with the secretariat within two months of the coming into force of the covenant. Notice thereof shall be sent to all other members of the league. Any fully self governing state, dominion, colony not named in the annex, may become a member of the league its admission is agreed by two-thirds of the assembly, provided that It shall give effective guarantees of its sincere intention to observe its international obligations and shall accept such regulations as may be prescribed by the league in regard to its military and naval force and armaments.

Any member of the league may, after two years' notice of its intention 80 to do, withdraw from the league, provided that all its international obligations all its obligations under this 'covenant shall have been fulfilled at the of its withdrawal. (This article is new, embodying with alterations and additions the old article VII. It provides more specifically the method of new members and adds the new paragraph admitting, providing for withdrawal from the league. No mention of withdrawa1 was made in the original document.) ARTICLE TWO The action of the league under this covenant shall be effected thru the instrumentality of assembly and of a council, with permanent secretariat. (Originally this was a part of article I.

It gives the name assembly to the gathering of representatives of the members of the league, formerly referred to merely as "the body of icague. The assembly shall meet at stated intervals and from time to time as occasion may require, at the seat of league, or at such other place as mans be decided upon. The assembly may deal at its meetings with any matter within the sphere of action of the league or erfecting the peace of the world. At meetings of the assembly, each member of the league shall have one vote, and may have not more than three representatives. (This embodies parts of the original articles 11., and with only minor changes.

It refers to "members of the league," where the term "high contracting parties" originally was used, and this change is followed thruout the revised draft.) ARTICLE FOUR The council shall consist of representatives of the United States of America, of' the British empire, of France, of Italy, and of Japan, together with representatives of four other members of the league.

SUCCESS OF LOAN UP TO CITIZENS Trend of Canvass Shows That Whole Public Must Do Full Share to Keep Record Clean WASHINGTON, April bond sales were approaching $1,000.000,000 today, according to unofficial reports at the treasury. Reports of sales officially accredited were slow in reaching federal reserve banks. To complete the minimum quota of $4,500,000,000 by May 10, campaign leaders must bring subscriptions averaging $316.000,000 daily, according to treasury fig-. ures, on the investment. DUTY OF CIT 'ENS POINTED OUT The success of the Victory Loan drive in Madison and Dane county has now become a matter of each citizen's personal responsibility.

The figures that the number of subscribers in the first week of the drive has fallen far 1 below the ratio that should obtain at this stage. This means that, notwithstanding the importance of this loan has been made known for many weeks in advance, thousands have not made the issue a personal one, and have been content to let the other fellow do it. The Victory Loan organization characterized the Victory Loan as the most important of any of the five loans put out by the government to finance the war. To let this loan slip by without giving it: support, provided one has the means or can save enough to do so, is to place a blot on one's whole Liberty Loan record. Translated, such a lapse in one's support means deserting the cause at the time when national honor is most at stake, when the bills that counted for victory are be finally paid and the account closed.

ASK PEOPLE TO STRETCH CREDIT Appeal is made to all citizens within the jurisdiction of the Dane County Victory Loan committee to invest every dollar at their disposal, or that they can save in the next year, in Victory Loan notes. At per cent, unless history fails to repeat itself, these notes are the highest form of investment in securities offered by any corporation or government. That they will command a price equivalent to an investment of 8 or 10 per cent within a year or two is the prediction of experts who know the trend of government securities under normal conditions which are rapidly returning. The speculative value attaching to other securities need not be considered in placing money in the government issues. The rise of Liberty issues to a handsome premium, according to all experience of the past with government bonds, does not admit of doubt.

Individuals who have invested in past loans of the Liberty issues have discovered that it is really an easy matter to economize and save money, and they also have found that the money SO saved can be invested in securities that absolutely are safe and will give more than ordinary returns The government does not want this money as a gift; it wants it as a shortterm loan. It will pay the money back with higher than average returns at the end of foour years, and perhaps three. It is willing to spare the lender from some of the tax burden falls on Monday in savings bakes and other I securities. What is the patriotic duty of citizens of Madison and Dane county in the light of these It is to support this loan. Take the savings money you have in the bank and pay it into the United States treasury for the Victory Loan.

If it had not been for the government's war activities you would not have as much money in the bank, anyway. it is fair use that montlence the relief only of the government in this emergency. GOVERNMENT MAKES PAYMENTS EASY More than that, it is your duty to sign an application for as much of the Victory Loan as you can pay out of your current income during the next six months. The government's deferred payment plan makes terms easy: 10 per cent with application, 10 per cent July 15, 20 per cent. August 12, 20 per cent Sept.

9, 20 per cent Oct. 7, and 20 per cent Nov. 11. Payment can be completed, of course, on any of the installment dates with the accrued interest to that date. Madison bankers also have provided special terms to subscribers, agreeing to loan 90 per cent of the face of Victory notes at per cent for that period.

All private funds open for investment, and especially trust funds, cannot be placed in any more profitable way than in these securities, loan ofAcials declare. One's personal interest, which means his pocketbook, should dictate investment in these issues to the very highest extent of one's power. -BUY VICTORY BONDSWEATHER Fair tonight and Tuosday.

TAYLOR (By United Press.) BERLIN, April the eve of the departure of the main body of German delegates for Versailles, the government today was showing alarm at growing tendency of powerful industrial commercial inna interests to demand immediate peace--even if the terms are harder than anticipated. This apparent inclination of the conservative element to adopt the same attitude as the radicals is understood to have split the cabinet into two camps, one in favor of signing the treaty and the other opposed to it. The latter faction, headed by Foreign Minister Brockdorff-Rantzau, believes the allies will "back down" when confronted by the danger of Bolshevism in Germany. It is also encouraged by Italy's withdrawal from the conference. The consider Bolshevism windustrials indebtedness and do not want their business further ruined by continuation of the economic blockade.

PEALED TO The latest one of contention between striking employes and Madison employers is the status of bonuses and premiums in respect to back pay. Strikers have reported to headquarters that on applying for back pay they have been informed that their back pay had already been paid them in the form of bonuses, paid from month to month. That the bonuses and premiums paid during the past six months were to be used in fixing an average hourly wage, has been the belief of workers. Information now at hand, however, indicates that the employers are intending to use 40 cents per hour a8 the basis of back pay with the bonus and premium considered as part, if not all, of back pay due workers. Much is to be said on both sides of the matter.

The war labor board award is ambiguous in respect to the back pay stipulation. Paul Huybricht in a telegram to Umpire C. H. McChord of the war la bor board has alasked for an interpretation of this part of the award. An explanatory message is expected this week.
