 ' Washlngton, August 16.-A warning was given today by representatives of farmers or ganizations, testifying before the House and Senate agricul- tural committees, that unless present disturbed conditions re- sulting from profiteering 'in goods and wages" and strike < were settled soon, the country would face a far worse situa- tion from the high cost of living next year than at present.
 Farmers. they said, were preparing for next years crops and under present conditions they could not estimate what tn probable market would be. Fear creased production both on this account and because of President Wilson's state ment in his message vetoing the repeal of the daylight saving law, placing in- dustrial production ahead of farm out put.

 Governor Kilby Saturday had noth- ing to give out to the newspaper men of the state. When the II o'clock hour came only two newspaper men were at the governors office, and it was agreed to postpone the interview with the chief executive because. it was stated. there was notntng of importance to discuss by either the governor or the newspaper men. The governor, during the past month, has been seeing ths newspaper men at l l o'clock on Satur- day

COUNT ON DEMOCRATS

The fact that Senator Hitchcock did not quote the President as standing un- colnpromisingiy against reservations for the same reason was pointed out as significant by some of the group of republicans who, under the lead of Senator McNary, republican, Oregon, nave agreed on a set of reservations. They declared all the clements of tha situation bore out their claim of We'd aesrfag that they had information ifs- sJring democratic assent to their pro gTamme.
 Amoag this group there was favor able comment during the day on the new set of reservations shown to re- publican senators by Republican Leader Lodge. In the same quarter It was pointed out that should he def initely give his support to a reserya- tion programme acceptable to a large number of senator's the logical out come might be a draft of reservations by him which would become the ral- lyins point of the republican reserva- ton forces.
 It is known that Mir Lodge has been studying a number of drafts. inclua : ing those drawn by the McNary group and those suggested by Elihu Root. William H. Taft and Charles P. Hughes.
 He is understood not to have stood sponsor for the draft he showed to the republican senators however. but to have merely submitted them for consideration.
 Republicans assert that the only possible outcome, if reservations are to be adopted in place of textual amendments, will be agreement on a draft drawn by Mir Lodge or some other senator which must be accepted by the democrats The only open question, they declare. is how drastic t1e rgSarvatiOrs are fO he
 The democratic leaders, however, maintained there had been no change in their stand for unreserved ratifica- lion and in some quarters the outcome of the conference between the Presi- dent and Senator Hitchcock syas inter preted to mean that MT Wilson would light uncompromisingly against both amendments and reservations. It was inferred by some senators in that con- nection that the President had refused to countenance the negotiations look ing to reservations which have been conducted by some democrats.
 The McNary group of republicans did not accept that view of the situation however. pointing out that Senator Hitchcock had said after the conference that the administration would cross the reservation bridge when it came 70 it.
 Considerable interest was aroused by a statement of MT. Hitchcock that the President had laughingly suggested send ing Senators Lodge and Knox to nego tiate any future treaty with German, should the present one fail through be ing amended.
 Republican members of the foreign re lations committee who are fighting fol amendments said they welcomed the sug. gestions as "a challenge"

ADMINS IR4TNN ID CENTER EFFORT ON DEFEATING TE.XTUAL TREATY AMENDMENT
Would Leave in Background for the Present Any Ne gotiatiOns Relative to
 the Final Ratification
 With Reservations
sx As.eeIatsd Pres.

Washington, August 16.-As a sequel to the White House conference yesterday between President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock, administration lead CT in the Senate treaty fight, it became apparent today that the administration forces would center their present eff fort on bringing the treaty out of committees and defeating any textual amendments, leav- ing in the background any ne- gotiations relative to fl--~. rat ification with reservations.
 Meantime. republican senators de- clared one result of the negotiations of the last few days and of Senator Hitchcock's statements after he left the President had been to stiffen re- sistance at any attempt at unreserved ratification and to increase the deter imitation of those who want the treaty amended outright. They asserted yes terdays poll had shown opposition to the shantung provision growing stronger in the face of the explana- tory statements from, Tokio and from the White House.
 The reported position of the Presi- dent that any textual amendments would send the treaty back for re- negotiation with Germany without any military force to compel acceptance of the American demands was taken as largely forecasting the trend of the amendment fight. It was understood that feature would be emphasized by Senator Hitchcock in speech he is expected to make next week in the
