Children Enthusiastic.
Real undiuted enthusiasm is nj
ways forthcoming for the president
from the kids. They turn out in
swarms, and their little sun-browned
| faces We're wreathed in the most
welcoming of smiles for him.
The little girls are prim and nice
| in their starched dresses and the little
boys are human bundles of noise.
| Their mood is infectious, and the
president always responds to their
greetings
And IT'S some thrill for back-cOun-
try youngster of thirteen or so to have
the president of the United States re.
move his hat and smile at him.
AssaiIs Reservationists.
| Omaha, NcDn sept. b.-blScuSSlng
for the first lime during his speaking
tour proposed reservations to the
League of Nations, President Wilson
replied in an address here to argu.
ments advanced by those who favor
r4sl -vations.
"a reservation" said the president,
'Is an assent with big but We
agree-but.'"
The proposed reservation providing
for unconditional withdrawal from
membership, said the president, meant
that its sponsors wanted to "sit near
the door with their hands on the
knob" and. If they saw anything they
didn't like, to "scuttle and run"
