General March and Secretaries Dan

against members Of the North Hudson

four government officials that demob-
ilization was completed July l and

Treaty BATTLE
CENTERS AROUND
TENTH ARTICLE
BY Hugh Baillie

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Denver. Col, Sept. 25. President
Wilson says the treaty fight is center
ing ON article x, which he regards as
the heart Of the document. 1t was con-
fdered today that ,he had thrown
down challenge when he said at Chey-
enHe, that he, as president, would deem
the treaty rejected if congress adopted
the proposed reservation to article K.
/ This reservation stipnates the Unit
cd States assumes no obligation to car
~ out any of the provisions of article
X and also says the United States will
not use its troops under any article of
the treaty without the consent of CON
gress.
The president, in discussing the at
tacks on the treaty, said he never
dication. This led to some gossip today
~ to Wilson s probable course should
the senate adopt the proposed reserva-
tion. One suggestion was that Wilson 8
friends would urge him to run for a
third term on ratification platform
which possibly would have the support
Of Taft and other republican leaders,
However Wilson has repeatedly urged
that the treaty fight be kept out Of
politics and has bitterly denounced
those who sought to make it party
issue.
Wilson's answers to objections to
the league covenant are in substance
as follows:
IT,. The covenant says nothing in
1t shall be construed as affecting the
validity Of the Monroe Doctrine"
2-'We can withdraw from the lea
que upon two years notice when we
please.
a." There is nothing in the cove
nant to interfere with the right of
self determination.
4-"The covenant expressly ex-
eIudcs interference with domestic ques-
tions.
s." The one American vote in the
league council offsets the six British
votes in the league assembly,"
