Disappointment is expressed that the United States is not among the challenging nations, but the attitude of the American tennis authorities in not challenging because Australasia is without the services of Anthony F. Wnding of New Zearland, and other prominent players is appre- ciated. Brooks, it is understood, will try for a place on the Australasian team, but experts doubt whether, after four years of strenuous Red Cross work in England and Meso- potamia, he can return to his one time form. His age is likewise con sidered to be against him. He is now att Melbourne, his home. A B. Jones and Stanley Doust, both of whom are in the Australian army, and Horace Rice are thought to be the next best defenders of the cup; others mentioned in this connection are J. Anderson and Gerald Patter- son.

He whipped SoIly Smith both before and after the Californian was featherweight champion, won from Australian Billy Murphy after the latter had lost the featherweigkt title, knocked out Dave Sullivan, only a few months after the Hibernian boxer had lost the championship. and put Harry Forbes to sleep the year before the Chicagoan succeeded to the bantam weight honors.
 The Omaha Kid was twice knocked out by Terry McGovern, and Young Corbett also turned the same trick. although that was when the Kid was on the downward path. During his ring career of ten years Gardner met the best men of his weight, and was seldom defeated. Santry was also a classy boxer and since his retiremen! from the ring has been elected to the Illinois Legislature.

"In the fight in the Senate to make

America, Massachusetts, enjoys unique
distinction--one that unites with a
glorious past glorious present and
enhances the noblest traditions of the
Commonwealth. Other states are
represented in the Senate by Senators
OF opposing parties. Massachusetts, is
the only state thus represented, both
of whose Senators by voice and vote
are defying the three challenges to
America contained In the treaty as it
stands.

and elsewhere, the Cleveland Democrats

faithful partisans who were planning
to put through some form of reser-
vaton that they would get him to
accept. But none for him was the
only proposition he would accept.
"Now comes the report again from
Washington that new arrangements
are in the works to fix reservations
and accept them. They will be acceptc
whether the Democrats accept them
or not as party. There are enough
Senators who are bound to protect
their own country to make sure of this
The question is whether President Wi

tion and reject the treaty so long as
reservations are attached to il.

toward the league, reaches the same
conclusion.
Partisanship has, Of course, by
no means disappeared. The South
ern papers berate the Republical
Senators as severely as ever and
assume that the enemies of the
league have been completely routed
They do not as yet concede the
necessity Of any reservations, sup
porting in this the uncompromising
stand long persisted in by Senator

New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

Hitchcock and a compro-
mise upon reservations of
some sort, the position of President
Wilson is still unknown and his
former utterances upon the subject
have much Importance.
In his Senatorial conference be-
+ fore his Western trip the President
showed a disposition to regard res
ervations with favor But on his
trip his opposition to reservations
increased in vehemence reaching a
climax in his speech at Salt Lake
City on September %. That was
two days before his breakdown.
In that speech he discussed reser-
vations in general and Senator
Lodges reservation touching Arti-
Gle x in particular. This reservation
is almost identical with the text of
the second reservation adopted by
the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate last Wednesday. The
text Of the Lodge reservation is
given below as Mr.. Wilson read it
to his Salt Lake City audience. The
bending reservation is included in
me text of the thirteen reservations
on this page.
When Mr. Wilson read the Lodge
reservation the audience, either by
mistake or design, applauded loudly.
Whereupon the President attacked
he proposal strongly. 1t was "a
knife in your hards with which you
into I'd to cut out the heart of this
covenant" he declared. The off,
cial text of these portions Of his
speech reads as follows:
an order to bring this matter. TO
nut this matter in such shape as will
end itself to q concrete elucidation, let
ne read you what understand is
proposed form of reservation:
1.-The United States assumes no
obligation under the provisions OF
trticie TO preserve the territorial
Integrity or political independence Or
any other country or to interfere in
controversies between other nations,
whether members of the league or not,
: to employ military and naval forces
of the United States under any art.c.,
or any purpose unless in any particu-
lar case that Congress, which unde,
the Constitution has the sole power
TO declare war or authorize the en-
poyment Of military and naval forces
Of the United States, shall, by act or
.oint resolution, so declare
