WILSON UNABLE CHANGE |. ]. ?.
 LEAGUE STAND

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The peace treaty with Germany was dis cussed by President Wilson today with four more Republican senators, all of them understood to be unwil- ling to accept the league of nations in its present form.
 The question of reservations is un. derstood to have been the chief topic of discussion, MT. Wilson reiterating his aversion to any change or uuali- ification. Each of the senators indi- cated afterward his views had not been changed.
 The president saw Senators Dil. lingham of Vermont, Harding of Ohio. Fernald Of Maine and Lenroot of Wisconsin. He talked for an hour with each of them, going over many features of the Versailles negotia- tions. None would discuss his con versation with the president in de tail, but Senator Harding. who is a member of the foreign relations com mittee, made a brief statement say ing MT. Wilson had emphasized the danger that the senators might en. courage other nations to qualify their acceptance of the league.
 Tomorrow the president will see three other Republican senators while the senate resumes debate on the treaty and the foreign relations committee begins public hearing on the economic section with Bernard Baruch, an adviser to the American peace delegation, as the first witness

Colonel Grinstead denied em- phatically the intimation made yes terday by Representative Bland, a member of the Investigating commit tee that hundred of boys were beaten up" while the officer in charge was given an hon9ratie discharge

 farm, said everybody that was a

PARIS, July 30 (By the Asso- ciated Press).-Turks and Tar tars are moving upon the Armen- ians from three sides.

 Herbert Hoover, director gen. eral of relief. immediately sub mitted Major Greens message to the peace conference, which al- ready had similar reports from other American and British ob- servers.
 Major Green, under date of July 23, sends the following from Tiflis:
 Had a long conference with the Armenian president today. The situation is worse. The Tur- kish army is well prepared and Tartars are advancing from three sides. If military protection is not afforded to Armenia immediately the disaster will be more terrible than the massacres in 1915, and the Armenians will be crushed.
 Relief work is impossible in the present situation unless order is restored. Cannot something be done to have the British force in the Caucasus intervene to save Armenian"

. Regarding Colonel Edgar P. Grinstead, do not believe there was a more efficient officer in the American army in France. No one who knows him could believe that he knew of the things said to have occurred at Farm No. 2, if those things did happen.
 What has not been brought out is that some of the men wfo went to Farm No. ? were the worst characters in the A. E. F.
 People over here think that every one who got to France was an angel while there, regard less of whether he was something very different before he went and after he came back"

Asks Peace Conference for Slice OF
Territory Now in Possession
of Germany.

Paris, Feb. 14.-The supreme coun.
oil has the Belgian peace claims, which
include q demand for the return to
Belgium of territory held by Germany,
IN addition to restitution Of certain
territory held by Holland, and request
Tor free navigation of the Scheldt.
The German district demanded are
Montjoie and Malmedy, just east Of
the present Belgian-German border.
The population of these districts is
mainly Walloon and their possession
by Belgium, it was pointed out, would
deprive Germany of an outlet for a
new invasion of Belgium.
The Allied powers, according to in.
ternational experts, face these two vi.
tai problems:
Imposition of sufficiently restrictive
measures Of Germany to remove any
possibility of her renewing the war.
Tempering the peace settlement
both as regards Germany and Russia
to prevent these countries from enter
ing an alliance that would be perma.
nent menace to world peace.
