fed the 1913 treaty by which China
agreed not to take exception to any

President May Yield
1t is not improbable that the Presi-
dent will be forced to yield on the qucs-
ton of placing the resolution of rat
iication. Here the preccdents are
against him. The Senate has almost in
vnriably included it's statement of its
understanding of treaty on which it
made reservations in the resolution of
ratification.
For making an exception to this prac-
ticc the administration only urges the
number of nations with whom this
treaty has to be exchanged. But that
consideration is not strong enough to
make the Senate change it's usual prac-
tiCe
The probability is that the President
expects to yield on this question. When

Phrasing Basis Of Compromise
The real basis of compromise will b"
the phrasing of the reservations so as to
make it perfectly clear that they do not
REQUIRE acceptance of the other powers.
To reach satisfactory agreement on
reservations, the President will prob

earth made fresh trails, more easily
discernible than previous.
Feeling is tense regarding the border
situation among inhabitants of isolated
border towns in New Mexico and Ari-
zona, according to reports to military
officers at FL Paso. Americans wired that
the Mexicans in these border towns
outnumber them and that great excite
ment prevails. The Mexicans have quit
work in many instances, the report said,
awaiting further developments on the
American side. Army men here ad-
mittCd the possibility of sending more
troops to these border posts.
Major +. B. Butler, commander Of
Kelly Field, said no airplanes have
been ordered from San Antonio to the
border in connection with the pursuit of
the bandits. The only air service move
ment announced during the day was the
transfer of six planes from Ell Paso
for temporary duty at Maria.
Villas Brother Concealed
Uipolito Villa, brother of Francisco
Villa, is believed to be hiding in the
mountains near where the American
columns are working. Hipolito is said
to have n small bodyguard and to be
seriously i'll. Army officers here said it
was possible American troops might get
in touch with these Villa bands while
searching for the bandits who held the
American aviators.

are attached nominally to Villas COM

There will be two objects in this
first, to make the position of the for
eign relations committee more precar-
ious than it is today by dealing with
another organized group of Republicans,
and thus hasten its action, and, second
to bring nearer an understanding with
the moderates on the subject of rescr
vntions.
Wilson Abandons Pact Tour
The treaty is felt to be SO near solu
tion that, as already said in these dis
patches, the President has virtually
abandoned any idea of trip through the
West in behalf of his league. If he
goes West it will be for other purposes.
1t is felt that he can do more at
Washington now than on the stump,
especially by establishing relations with
the Republican moderates. So far as
the public is concerned the White House
view is that yesterdays conference ac-
complished more than any speech max
ing trip could. Going West now would
only be an anticlimax.

American troops had crossed the

night, but gave no indication of its
attitude.

FL Heraldo says the situation has

Members of the McNary group of

In introducing the resolution in the

 Baranoff ruled over the Russians for more than twenty years. His commands were the only ones the people paid any attention to. In his later years in Sitka, Baranoff was weighted down by age and dis ease. A man was sent to take his place in the office of Governor.
