MORE SENATORS SEE
WILSON AND INSIST
UPON RESERVATIONS

Washington, July 31.-"My back is
stiffer than ever for ratification of the
treaty with reservations" Senator
Reyes, republican, OF New Hampshire.
said today after a conference with Pres
ident Wilson at the White House.
Senator Keyes, who was one OF the
signers of the round robin against the
League of Nations circulated by repub-
lcan senators in the closing hours of
the last congress. told the president he
favored reservations along the lines pro
posed by former President Taft. Charles
Evans Hughes and Elihu Root.
Senator New of Indiana republican
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, said after a visit to the White
House today that he had told the presi
dent il would be utterly impossible to
get the senate to accept the peace treaty
as it stands" and that it either would
he ratified with reservations or fail"
Senator New said he told the presi.
dent he was utterly opposed to Article
10 Of the league of nations covenant. He
added that in reply to the presidents
statement that adoption of reservations
by the senate might set precedent
for other nations, he had said that the
question of reservations was one for the
United States to decide regardless OF
the effect on other countries.
Bernard NJ. Baruch. economic advisor
10 the American peace delegation, told
the senate foreign relations committee
today that he thought the question
whether the United States should receive
a part of the indemnity to be paid by
Germany still was an open one.
Senator Knox, republican, Pennsyl-
vania. said he understood from the pres
ident's message to the senate in sub
mitting the peace treaty that the United
States was 20 have no part of the in
demnity, but Mr.. Baruch replied that he
thought this was only the presidents
opinion and did not represent a def
mite decision.
The English text Of the treaty says
the division of indemnity shall be in
which have been determin-
ed" but Mr.. Baruch pointed out that
the French text more properly should
be translated shall be determined" In
this Chairman Lodge agreed.

RiNSDELL SAYS WITHOUT
LEAGUE WORLD WILL GO
BACK TWENTY CENTURIES

Washington, July 3l-Urgiug prompt
and unrcserved ratification of the
league of nations covenant. Senator
Rausdcll. democrat, Louisiana, de.
clarcd in n senate speech today that
the document met the ends of the uni
yersal peace "as closely as any human
agency can"
Every one demands said the Louis
lana senator, that something should
be done in order to save mankind from
the horrors OF war. It's enemies sub
nit all of the objections to this par
ticular league but propose nothing
i'm its place. When one considers the
mighty stake, does it not seem the
height Of folly to bubble and complain
about each and every detail of the
covenant
In this most trying hour the United
States is the sole hope of mankind.
If our mighty republic fails to ratify
the league. the league will fail; and
if the league fails. the various nations
of the world will continue the same
mad effort for elfaggrandizement. At
the close of the ucXt general war dark.
ness will settle upon the earth; men
viii move back more than 20 centur'
les; and Christian civilization with all
the good things it has done for human
ity win cease to exist

HIGH TARIFF BILLS
MAKE APPEARANCE ON
PROGRAM Of HOUSE

Washington. July 31.-The first
tariff measures to come before con
gress since the republicans regained
control were on today's house program
for action. While leaders planned to
dispose of three bills designed to pro
tect American Industries forced into
existence by war necessity, they were
doubtful whether such a program
could be forced through the house
Democrats, though not expected to
be a unit in opposing new duty rates
fixed by all the bills, planned TO fight
for continuance Of prevailing rate
bills. or some slightly advanced, with
legislative provisions being inserted in
to bills to provide control of imports
through a licensing system. Such
control they said, would give ample
protection to the industries.
Republicans favoring high tariff pro
posed to force adoption of their meas
ures unchanged.

PRESIDENT IS GIVING
SERIOUS THOUGHT TO
REDUCING HIGH COSTS
ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT
THAT MAY GIVE AID ARE
SET TO WORK

Washington. July 3l.-President WI
son is giving deep and very thought
ful consideration" to the high cost OF
living, IL was announced today at the
White House. and all branches OF the
government that might aid in solving
the problem are al work.
First steps In the federal govern
ment's attempt TO reduce the high cost
OF living We're taken today with the IN
auguration of n plan for the sale OF
the Sl25, 900, 600 worth OF army food
stocks direct TO the people with every
postmaster and mail carrier over the
country acting as salesman.
Distribution of the surplus food In
this manner was requested by the
house Of representatives, and details
were worked out at conferences be
tween Secretary Baker, Postmaster
General Burleson and Representative
Kelly of Pennsylvania, author of the
house resolution.
While this program was being put
into effect, President Wilson had be
fore him a statement from the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers which
declared that "conscienceless profit
eering by the great interests who have
secured control of all the necessities
of life" had brought about such con
ditions that the engineers felt that
they must demand increased wages
unless living expenses speedily were
reduced.
.l.atNa TINA inf nf nEt
legations into the causes of increasing
living costs We're under way. with par
ticular attention being given to the
question of whether producers or deal
ers had combined in violation of law
to raise prices of necessities.
Meantime. there was pending in the
house a resolution proposing that the
federal trade commission investigate
costs Of coffee sugar. shoes and cloth
ing.
Trainmen to Make Demand
William G. Lee, president of the

nounced today that unless the railroad
administration had taken action by
October ! on the demands OF the
brotherhood that wages of the train
men be increased or the cost of Nv
ing reduced, steps looking to the en-
forcement of the demands would be
taken.
Mr. Lee said resolution containing
this declaration, which had been adopt
ed last night by the special committee
of l6 appointed at the recent con
yention of the trainmen at Columbus,
Ohio, would be sent to the railroad
administration. The resolution pro
yided that, in the absence of action
by October /, the committee would re-
convene to consider "the necessity for
using the protective features of the
brotherhood"
The president is understood to have
been deeply impressed by the state
ment presented to him yesterday by
Warren s. Stone. chief of the brother
hood of locomotive engineers, describ
ing the unrest over the country because
of the decreasing purchasing power of
the dollar. In this connection, it be |
came known today that the brother
hood Of railway trainmen had present |
ed to the railroad administration q
statement similar to that of the engi' |
neers setting forth that the trainmen
must have increased wages unless i'm
mediate steps We're taken to reduce liv'
ing costs.
