THE PEACE TREATY.

(By Electric Telegraph—Cop,,. ight.) MB WILSON’S TOUR. NEW YORK, September 14. The “New York Times’’ correspondnu at Courdadine, Idaho, reports that Pi esident Wilson spoke there in defence jf the Peace Treaty. He spoke in a huge circus tent. He pictured the world as likely to be aflame with war unless a peace treaty were accepted. It was inconceivable that men could favour the complete destruction of the treaty. There could be no reform or settled order in the world for a generation, he asserted, unless the treaty was accepted. President Wilson contended that every man who loved justice should stand for an unqualified acceptance of the treaty. “If you wish to U”t in a chaotic world,” he said, “Encourage those who are opposing the treaty and the League Covenant.” The President went on to say that l.e would not raise any serious objections to the adoption of the reservations or the interpretations of the Treaty C ivenant made by the Senate, if put in to s resolution separate from the resolution or ratification, though his own opinion was that such action was unnecessary. The audience listened quietly and attentively. Little interest, hew ever, is taken in the treaty question in the Idaho State.-
