II was indicated the President gave no
sign Of relinquishing his former stand OF
insistence that there would be no amend-
ments or reservations.
A somewhat different view was gath
cred from some other conversations with
the President during the day, wherein
he conveyed the impression that he did
not believe the great Powers would seri-
ously object to certain resrvauons, but
that the difficulty would be In getting
the smaller nations TO accept them. He
dwelt at some length on the difficulties
in this regard

he was q regular Republican whose duty
as both patriot and Republican was TO
stand by his party. He didn't consider
himself q leader in the Senate, but he
was going to be loyal follower of the
men whom he did regard as leaders
They considered the reservations were

the President should take the initiative

to the constituency he represented he
was free to adopt II. His view OF the
whole treaty situation was unchanged
by his vfstt to the White House. The

his objection to changes In the LEAGUE

on the belief that Europe would not I'M

enough lumber to rebuild the devastated
regions but that persons who lost brick
or stone structures are unwilling to &C
cept wooden cottages as homes.
The supplies most attractive to the
French population are the many million
pounds Of -four, rice and beans held by
the army On armistice day, according
to high officials of the Quartermaster' g
Department, there were American
rations in France sufficient for a year,
and flour, rice and beans enough to feed
have been used at American camps, but
much remains.
These supplies, NJ. Morel said, will be
purchased at market prices on the basis
OF foreign exchange prevailing prior to
the armistice, when the American dollar
was worth five francs forty-hve CEN
times. American officials would not dis
cuss the disposition of the army prop
erty.
Homer d. johnson of the former Amer

Among the supplies held in storage
are thousands OF small automobiles,
which would be released for sale under

French Government would reserve the
right to charge 68 per cent duty on the
