Sdys Reservations Mean Re-
lection of Whole Pact.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Sept. 24.-Presiden
wilson. IN his address here to-day q
referring to the proposed reservation
affecting Article X, eGid:
understand this reservation is
now up before the Senate. and I wish
would you lend very earnest
ear. The United States assumes no
obligations under the provisions of
Article X. to enter into the policies
of any other country or controversy
between other nations. whether mem
<bers OF the league or not. or to en-
ploy members of the forces of the
United States for any purpose unless
in any particular case
In other words, / feel certain we

but should consider ourselves bound
to be definite. We should not allow
ourselves to be In for time, or from
time to time want TO say, something
In the council, but we should assume
obligations Of tne league to help the
world and humanity along. In other
words. this is ridiculous and would
change the entire treaty and would
exclude the United States.
1t means rejection of the treaty;
1t means that the United States could
take away its support. / know there
are some men who are in favor of
this, men who are learned, but I do
not think they realize that the United
States would be excluded from the
treaty entirely. would ask you to
consider this matter very carefully
and for you to realize what the re-
lection Of the treaty means to the

am not making this statement by
conjecture. but am getting II directly
from the mouths of persons In Ger
many who are familiar and know
what the rejection OF the treaty
means.
1t means a separate treaty with

The men who fought In Chateau

Special Despatch to THr sun.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator FIRE.
linghuysen IN. ~. in a speech in the
Senate to-day called President Wilson
to account for many of his extravagant
utterances, answered a number of the
Administration arguments for the pro-
posed League OF Nations and unreserved-
ly announced his stand with Senators
Lodge (Mass.). Knox (Pa.) and the
bulk OF the Republicans.
As has been done before. the Senator
contrasted the utterances of Washing
ton and some Of the utterances OF Will
son some time ago with the present
Presidential demand for International
ism. He dug INTO some of Mr.. Wilson's
flights OF fancy during his present tour.
1t particularly amused Senator Freling-
huysen that Mr.. Wilson had told an au-
dience in the West OF the Revolutionary
ancestors" back Of him. The Senator
wanted to know, in view of the COM
parative novelty of the Wilson family on
both sides as American citizens what
revolution the President had in mind.
Turning to the League Of Nations, the
Senator said:
President Wilson and his supporters
insist that we must join his League of
Nations without any reservations other
than mental, that we should surrender
some of our sovereignty. that II is not
only right, but that II Is our duty to
undertake to respect the territorial in
tegrity and existing political independ-
ence Of every other nation, even though
we thereby precluded ourselves from
encouraging others to achieve theli
liberty as France did the colonies during
the Revolution or as we did Cuba in
very recent years; that IL is not only
RICH: but that it is also our duty TO
undertake to preserve the territorial in
tegrity and existing political independ-
ence of every other nation even though
as a result OF such undertaking 1t might
become our duty to wage war on a
nation giving help TO people seeking
freedom as France gave help to US and
as We in turn gave help to Cuba.

BENNETT SILENT ON
PRIMARY RECOUNT
Must Deposit $4,000 for Ex-

William NJ. Bennett refused last night
TO say whether he would take advantage
of the opportunity given him for a re-
count OF ballots cast for candidates for
the Republican nomination for President
of the Board of Aldermen providing he
pay the expenses-s2. 900 or more. JUS
tice Erlanger in the Supreme Court yes
terday issued an order directing the
Board of Elections to give Bennett a
recount. in answer to his petition. in
which he expressed the belief that Rep
resentative F. H. La Guardia had re-
ceived the nomination in the recent pri-
mary election through various irregu-
larities. The providing clause, how
ever. stated that Mr.. Bennett must de-
post with the board the sum Of $4,000
to cover expenses OF the examination
and also to pay any additional sums Of
money that might be incurred for ex-
penses.

who maintained that as there was no
reasonable probability that the official
canvass In favor of La Guardia would
be reversed by a recount and as Mr..
Bennett was the only dissatisfied person

dta. waving objection, expressed belief
that a recount would add rather than
take away from the successful candi-
dates total of votes.
In making his application for the or
der OF examination Theodore T. Baylor,
counsel for Mr.. Bennett, contended that
gross frauds had been perpetrated in
counting the ballots. and cited several
election districts where he said an In
vestigatlon by District Attorney Swami
had shown errors more or less glaring.
The counsel also asked that the court
charge the expense of the count to the
Board of Elections.

This phase OF his Salt Lake speech,

not until last night did he dare 10 apply
