PRESIDENT WILSON
 AT CHEYENNE, WYO

Cheyenne. Wyo. Sept. 24.-Reading again the proposed senate reservation to Article 10 of the league covenant President Wilson declared in an ad- dress hero today that should any such reservation be adopted he would be ntiised as chief executive to regard it as a rejection of the treaty.
 The president added that rejection of the treaty would mean negotiation of a separate peace with Germany and asserted that such a negotiation could not change a single item of the peace settlement.
 Recalling Japan's promise to return to China all sovereign rights in Shan tung. the president said the only thing retained by the Tollio government would be economic rights such as other nations hold. He said the United States had no right to doubt that promise. He characterized IS "empty noise" the professions of friendship for China made by those who want the treaty to fail.
 Turning to the league covenant the president said the question of whether the heart of the league covenant was to be cut out soon must come to a showdown. It would mean the vitiation of the whole plan. he assert ed. if the nation were to adopt reserva- tions to Article 10 as proposed in the senate.

SAYS SHORT WORK DAY DOES
 NOT DIMINISH PRODUCTION

New York, Sept. 24.-Evidence is in creasing that reduction of working hours within limits does not diminish production, according to Frederick $. Lee, professor of physiology at Colum- bia University and consulting physiolo- gist to the United States public health service, who addressed the Internation- al Conference of Women Physicians to- day on Industrial Fatigue" At the same time Professor Lee declared that limitation of work on the part of the workers to a point par below their physiological capacity was very common"
 The speaker expressed the opinion that while the evidence seemed to point to an eight hour day as approXi- mating the best working period it was probable that limit would be found too long for certain kinds of work and too short for others. NAt night, Professor Lee said, the fall in production during the last two hours was enormous at least in the very common twelve hour night"
