Jobbers offered the leading manu-

Women's Apparel.
Buying of fall apparel for women
has started in earnest. and manu-
facturers report that retailers are
spending fully twice as much for
their stocks this year as last In
huenced by the reported scarcity of
merchandise. buyers hocked to the
market earlier than usual this year.
Some buyers appear to be anticipat-
ing more than their usual needs in
their early orders, while others are
making their first fall purchases on
conservative basis, buying no
greater amount of merchandise than
in years past. but spending more
money because of the increased prices

at least another four weeks business

In fall apparel for women the sales
of coats and dresses appears to over
shadow those of suits.

These and other objections had been
Enthusiastically arranged, he continued
and the debate had settled dozen upon
the heart of the covenant the cele-
brated article 10 under which the league
members agree to respect and preserve
one another's territorial integrity as
against external aggression. There was
nothing worth considering in the other
objections, he said.
ARTICLE 10, said the president, was
based on the sentiments, not only Of
the American people, but of the world.
Referring, to his famous Ia points OF
peace which he said only spoke the
sentiment Of the American people, Mr..
Wilson declared that program had been
accepted everywhere and that he had
crossed the ocean under bond, and
carried out the peace plan which every
one had Endorsed.
The president also read a quotation
by Theodore Roosevelt urging that the
nations of, the world unite for peace
and to protect territorial integrity.
Mr.. Wilson was applauded when he
said the United States was too proud
to ask for reservations which would re-
lieve 1t of some of the responsibilities
other nations assume under the league
There was more applause when he said
he was fighting for the safety OF the
children and would exert all his in
fluence to see that another generation
would not have to go overseas in arms
1t was the dearest wish" of Ger
many, he said, that the United States
should stay out of the league because
| that would mean the alienation of this
country from other recent enemies Of
German autocracy.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
| Wilson said:
"What we need to do with the Labor

| Of the haze into. the calm spaces where
men look Nat things without tragedy

WILSON INVITES
SENATE TO TAKE
Definite STAND
President, in Colorado Ad-
dresses, Reduces Fight for
Peace Treaty to Direct AC-
CeptanCe Or Rejection Issue

PUEBLO. Col, Sept. 2s.-Reducing
his fight for the peace treaty to a direct
issue Of acceptance or rejection, Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday invited the SEN
ate to take a definite and unmistakable
stand one way or the other. President
Wilson arrived here on board his special
train at 8 o'clock and was taken for a
drive through the state fairgrounds
where q fair is in progress, He was
then taken to the Memorial auditorium
where he spoke to a large and enthuslS
astic audience.
After declaring it would be his duty
as chief executive to Judge whether the
senate's action constitutes acceptance
or rejection, should reservations be in
corporated in the ratification, the pres
ident added a warning that he did not
consider qualified adoption" as adop-
ton in fact. He said, however, that he
saw no objection to mere interpreta-
tons.
In two addresses in Colorado during
the day Mr.. Wilson reiterated again and
again that the. whole controversy had
resolved itself into a clear-cut cues
ton Of whether the United States should
go into the league Of nations or stay
out. 1t was time, he said, that the
nation knew where 1t was to stand.
Meanwhile White House officials in the
presidential party permitted it to be-
| come known that the proposed reserva-
| ton which the president quoted at Salt
Lake City and Cheyenne and which he
announced he would regard as a rejec.
ton of the treaty was one he had beer
informed was agreed on by several Re
publican senate leaders.
The presidents first speech of the
day was at a morning meeting in Den.
yer and later he addressed a GROVE
which filled the municipal hall here
Cheers many times interrupted his dec
larations at the two meetings and il
both cities a constant din Of cheering
greeted him as he passed through TIL
/ streets.

Lauded as Prophet.

The president was introduced at the
meeting here by Alva Adams, former
governor Of Colorado, who eulogized Mr..
WILSON, as twentieth century Paul, y
and the greatest prophet of peace
In his address the president said the
chief pleasure Of his country wide trip
was that it had nothing to do with his
personal fortunes.
He repeated his charge that an Jun
organized propaganda" was opposing the
treaty and that it proceeded from ''hg-
phens"
ANY man who carries hyphen about
him." he said, "carries a dagger which
he is ready to plunge into the vitals of
the republic. II / can catch man
with hyphen in this great contest. l
will know that | have caught an enemy
of the republic"
Reviewing the treaty provisions, the
president strAssed the self determine
ton and labor features, asserting that il
| the treaty failed there would be no
great international tribunal before
which labor could bring its requests for
better conditions.
Going on to the league Of nations
covenant, he declared 1t was necessary
for carrying out the peace terms. For
the same reason, he asserted, the cove
nant would be incorporated in the
treaties with Austria, Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey, now under negotia-
ton at Versailles.
| Referring to objections that the
United States might be at a disadvan
tage in the league, Mr. Wilson said
| that whoever said that "either was fall
styling or he hadn't read the covenant"
He added that there was no validity in
the argument that the British empire
could ut-vote the other nations, be-
cause the empires six votes are in the
assembly which is only the talking
body" OF the league The real power
of action, he said, was in the council,
whose decisions must be unanimous.
Paying tribute to the British col
onies, the president asked whether Can
ada was not more likely to agree with
the United States than with Great Brit
ain. He made plea that Language OF
jealousy be set aside and that Amer
leans should be "big enough" to look
at the question in its true light.
| The president went into the Shantune
settlement at length, declaring 1t was
| the league of nations which would give
China her opportunity to free herself
| from the inroads made upon her by
other nations. The disposition Of Shan
tung he said was the best that could
| be obtained at the time.
