A PRAYER.

o Lord. we beseech thee that more
ahundantly than ever thou wouldst
pour out upon us the spirit of grace
and suppllcatl0n, and make us who
profess to be thy children less I'M
worthy to receive the great gifts OF
thy grace. And we pray for grace
more continually, to fulfill the purpose
for which thou has created, redeemed,
and blessed us, as to yield ourselves
as living sacrifices, surrendering our
own wills, day by day, and to accept
what thou dost appoint Through
Tesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

OFFERING TO RAT|FY
: WITH RESERVATIONS
New Suggestions Made to Presi-
dent in Senate Row Are
Declined.

Washington, July 22.--A new sug-
gestion for senate reservations in rati
flying the league of nations covenant de-
veloped today at White House confer
enccs Senator Calder, republican, New
York, asked President Wilson what his
attitude would be on proposal that
the covenant be ratified with reserv-
alton that article Y guaranteeing nations
against external aggression remain In
effect only until 1921.
President Wilson urged that the
treaty be ratified without reservations
and said that such reservation as sug-
gested would necessarily be interpre--
ted abroad as showing that the United
States was willing to assist the other
nations for only two years.
In discussing the Shantung settlement
with Senator Calder, President Wilson
explained that while it was possible for
him to give Senators details he did not
think it was advisable to make them
public at this time.
