is wide divergence of opinion among
English politicians and newspapers as
to the attitude which the entente
powers should assume toward soviet

On the one hand is the view ex-
pressed by Sir George Buchanan,
British ambassador to Russia, who in
recent public speech urged that re-
Inducements be recruited on a voluu
tary basis and be immediat ely sent to

tended that the allies must not desert

spondence of the Assoc: ated Press).-
Germany's surrender served only to
spur German pagandists in Mexico
to loftier he ghts of mendacity. In Il
country where access to news is freer
than it is in Mexico their lies would
soon prove boomerangs. but in this
country, despite their clumsy subter.
eugeS, the pagandists met with
some success in befogging the issue
of real victory.
In this they were aided by the fact
that the first report Of the signing of
the armistice November :. was false.
Admission of this fact by pro-ally
papers gave the German agents n
hook on which to hang charges that
subsequent reports also We're without
basis in truth.

German Fleet Only Held.

The out out pro-German papers
asserted that the armistice terms
favored Germany. They admitted
that the German fleet was held in
British waters. but declared that it
had not surrendered" but was being
held only until peace was concluded,
and, as an artistic touch, modestiy
claimed that the 400 allied warships
"saluted" the German engines of war
at the "internment." The surrender
of Germany's submarines was passed
over as lightly as possible
According ~ the pro-German peri
odicais. only one-sixteenth of the
German fleet was given up. not its
heart. A huge navy, they said, built

water unknown to the allies was ready
at any moment to give battle to the al
lied fleets.

The reports which are coming

statements made by the President to
the audiences assembled in the Md

Irritating to the Senators left in

attack on the stump materialized
rapidly in consequence, and it was
made plain that there will be no
mincing of words when the radical
opponents get into action.

threatening situations as regards its
reighbors.
And if you must give the secret
away" he added. II wrote those
words myself"
The provision against separate
treaties also was emphasized by the
President who said that cleared away
the most dangerous and embarrassing
clement in international affairs.
Taking up the Shantung provision
of the Treaty, Mr. Wilson said he had
not the slightest doubt Japan would
fulfill her promise to return the
province.
If the Treaty failed, the President
said then there would be no hold at
all upon Japan to make her carry out
that promise, whereas If she were
brought into the league, there would
be a hold upon her.
If you are going to get Shantung
province back to China and these
foreign wars, then how are you going
to get it back?"
1t would not be real friendship
to China Ito scuttle and rum" he de-
clared. addInG:-
'TLat's not the kind Of an American
1 am"
At this declaration the crowd rose
and cheered.
Article Ten of the covenant, the
President said was the heart of the
league. The language giving the
league power to advise" what steps
should be taken in international con-
said the President, meant
just what it said. He added that he
always thought he knew what lad

TREATY FOES
GAIN GROUND
in THEIR FIGHT
Senator's Conf
dent Reservations Will
Be Adopted

Washington, September 6. An
nonucement by the Treaty opponents
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations of the program of reserva-
tlons and amendments they will urge
the Senate to adopt enabled the con-
tending forces to move toward crys-
tallization of sentiment as to what
they will fight for in connection with
ratification.
The initial advantage in the fight
which now begins in earnest on the
floor of the Senate appears to rest
with the advocates of reservations,
which would be included in and made
part of the ratifyinS resolution and
accordingly requiring actual accept
ance by the principal Allied and AS
sociated powers before the Treaty be-
comes operative as to the United
States.
Senators Capper, of Kansas, and
Kenyon, of Iowa, both regarded ad-
ministration leaders of mild reser-
vationists" announced that the FRO.
gram adopted by the Foreign Rela
tions committee, met with their ap-
rroval and would have their sup
port.
This is what l have been for all
along" said the Senator from Iowa.
and Senator Capper stated the reser-
vations meet with my approval and
l shall support them"
Article n nn Issue
THE middle ground" Republican
senators were held 20 favor the first,
third and fourth of the reservations
Of the committee. but. to object to the

of the League of Nations Covenant
| concerning guaranteeing the terri
torial integrity of member nations.
| This group of Senators includes Nc
| Cumber, of North Dakota; McNary, OF
| Oregon; Colt, of Rhode Island: Kel-
losg. of Minnesota; Nelson, of Mime
sofa; LenrCot, of Wisconsin and Spen-
Ger, of Missouri.
Several of these Senators, notably
Lenroot. Colt and Spencer. expressed
| objections to the unnecessarily dras
| tic form of the reservation on Article
x and to the insistence that at least
| three of the four principal Allied and
Associated powers" should accept the
reservations. They objected also to
the inclusion of reservations against
other sections of the League of Ma
tions, especially the power of econom-
ic boycott in the reservations against
Article Ten.
The Republican leaders appeared
confident that the objections to the
committee reservations were largely
differences as to phraseology and that
in the end the middle ground" Sen
ators would vote for the committee
program, rather in preference to hav.
ing all reservations defeated.
Republicans Optimistic
The Republican Senators on the
committee professed absolute conf.
dence that reservations would bt

the other powers would be a condi.
ton to participation by the UriteC
States in the Tire eaty.
These Senator's were not SO san
guine as to the prospects of victory
in the matter of actual tcxtual amend
ments to the Treaty. although the.
continued to insist the four amend
Iments adopted by the committee woulC
be supported by the Senate.
