WASHINGTON, July 28.--
Charles T.. Hughes, in letter to
Senator Frederick Hale, Of
Maine. made public today, de
clared In favor Of league Of
nations, but maintained that GER
tain reservations and interpre-
tati0ns to the present covenant
were necessary to protect Amer
lean interests.
The interpretativs reservations
suggested by Hlikhes We're:
1. That any nation. after giving
the two.years notice of withdrawal.
shall cease to be a member OF the
league. despite any charge of non.
fulfillment of any international OBJ
legation, providing the withdrawal
would not release the power from
any debt or liability.
2. That questions relating to inn
migration or import duties, when
they do not affect any international
engagement, should be regarded as
matters of domestic policy and not
within the jurisdiction of the league.
3. That the United States. under
Article XXI. OF the covenant refer-
ring to the Monroe doctrine). does
not relinquish any of it's traditional
attitude toward purely American
questions. and that the United States
may prevent acquisition by any non
American power of any territory or
control in the western hemisphere.
Authority for Congress
4. That the United States. under
Article X. of the covenant. does not
assume any obligation to employ its
army or navy in any expedition that
is not authorized by congress.
Hughes letter was in response to
a communication from Hale. in
which the latter asked the former
supreme court justice for his opin-
ion as to what reservations to the
peace treaty and league covenant
should be made, ito safeguard the
interests of the country"
Hale said that many of us are in
favor of having the United States
enter league of nations. provided
that in doing so we do not sacrifice
| the sovereignty or traditional poll
cies of our country" He added that
I'VE believe the proposed covenant
now before the senate does make
such a sacrifice"
World Needs League
There is plain need for league
of nations" Hughes replied, sin
order to provide for the adequate de
velopment of international law, for
creating and maintaining organs OF
| International justice and the ma
| chinery of conciliation and confer
ence, and for giving effect to mea'
sures of international cooperation
which from time to time may be
agreed upon.
ut Is manifest that every reason

lish peace as promptly as possible
and to bring about a condition in
which Europe can resume its normal
activity"

WASHINGTON. July .S.-
United Press.)--Before starting
his tour of the United States.
President Wilson will probably
have q number of conferences
with democratic leaders In both
senate and house, to advise with
him regarding important pend
ing legislation. During his -
sence, the house will recess. bot
many committees win b whip

Of nations debate WIN b. con-
tinued.
The presidents departure u now
looked for about Wednesday Of next
week. In the 10 days remaining b.
fore the start, Wilson is expected
TO make one or two visits to the
capitol to meet leaders. His visit
last Saturday was postponed, due 70
the absence of men he wished "a
see.
While he is ION the road" the
president will keep in close touch
with the situation in Washingt0u.
and plans will be made to give him
reports of the proceedings and
speeches here so he may keen his
own speeches up to date and, at the
same time. be in position to advise
administration leaders by telegraph.
To See Democrats
Wilson was expected to see sew
eral democratic congressman today.
No more conferences with republi-
can senators had been scheduled. SO
far as could be learned. However.
there was no confirmation of rumors
that these conferences had been tieff-
nitely discontinued.
One of the last TO visit Wilson was
Senator Spencer, of Missouri, who
presented suggestions for five reser-
vations to the covenant, based on
former President Taft's Suggestions.

Some friends of the president in
sist he will make a statement before
he starts West, to make absolutelv
clear his attitude toward reservation.
The White House has let it be
known during the last week that he
was against any compromise, but
persistent rumors that he would
| agree to a program of interpretative
reservations, may make it expedient
it is believed, for him to put himself
flatly on record.
Will Answer Foes
Wilson's speeches will be roughly
framed in the White House. II is
said. and will take the form Of state

presidents opinion, make an Ameri-
can acceptance of the league of ma
tions and the peace treaty. as they
stand. imperative.
These speeches will be varied to
meet the verbal attacks of treaty
foes in the capitol and to answer any
new objections to various clauses.
According to present plans. Wilson
will not have special train, but his
car. with those of the secret service
men and newspaper men, will be at

ACRE IN TOBACCO

Mcssrs. Reeks and Crutchiield raised
the past season opposite the box mill
and just out Of town two acres of to-
bacco, which attracted considerable
attention while growing and which at
that time was predicted would bring
big sum of money.
The field contained little less than
ten thousand hills or just about two
acres.
The last of the curings was sold at
Virginia Warehouse OH Monday,
November 9th, and when a summary
Of the sales from the two acres was
made, it was found to be 1850 pounds
for 1,969.2O or $934.6O per acre. Has
this ever been beaten?
The yield of pounds was extraordi-
nary as we'll as that of the dollars.
The pound yield can in measure be
accounted for by the fact that it was
newly cleared land and doubtless was
well fertilized and worked. 1t was
