WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.--Reserva-
tions to the peace treaty, so innocuous
they will not place ii i'm any danger
of being returned by the other powers
are being drawn by international ex-
perts close to the administration for
submission to President Wilson it is
learned today. There was no inti-
nation that the experts are writing
the reservations at the presidents re-
quest or with his knowledge. But it
is stated on reliable authority that
should the president decide finally
that acceptance of reservations must
precede ratification of the treaty this
particular series would be ready for
to the senate.
1t is hinted this presentation might
be accomplished through senator's
who, while urging the reservations, |
are so friendly to the league of ma
tons than they are adverse to seeing |
endanger 1t.
The president is paving the way for |
by daily conferences with |
senators, in the belief OF
opponents of the league. Nearly /
every Republican senator calling has
