To Continue Conferences
President Wilson is expected to con-
tinue this week his conferences with
Republican Senators. But the num-
Der he will be able to see is expected
to prove smaller than last week be-
cause of the press of domestic busi-
ness at the White House.
This week may also bring out
whether the President will accent
reservations to the treaty. So far no
intimation has come from the White
House concerning the Presidents at
tjtude toward the four reservations
prepared by Il committee of seven
Senators. These amendments deal
with the Monroe doctrine and the
conditions under which the United
states may withdraw from the
