IN PEACE TREATY
 WILL GUT THE HEART IF LEAGUE
 WILSON TELLS SALT LAKE CROWD
The President Answers All Objections That Under Article Ten U. s. Would Be Called Settle Balkan Troubles
 Explains Choice Would Be Made From Nearest Available Forces; Speech Is Frequently Interrupted by Applause

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 23.-Re- plying directly to senate proposals to write reservations into ratifica- tion of the peace treaty, President Wilson declared in an address in the Mormon tabernacle here tonight that the proposals would "cut the heart" out of the league of nations.
 Before a great crowd which re- peatedly cheered his utterances, Mir. Wilson read a proposed reservation under which the United States would "assume no responsibility to pro- tect the integrity of foreign govern ments under article ten. Such a res ervation, he asserted, would relieve the United States of a part of it's just responsibility
 Does the United States want to be in on that special footing?" asked the president. and there. was a great shout of mo" from the crowd.
 article ten the United States might be called to settle Balkan controver- sies, the president said:
 ''If you want to put out fire in Utah, you don't go to Oklahoma for the fire engine, and if you want to put out fire in the Balkans, you don't send to the United States for troops"
 The choice would be made, he said, from 'the most suitable and most available" forces, and the decision would be made with the consent of all the nations concerned. Should the controversy spread so that the aid of the United States would be neces. sary, then it would be so serious a situation that this nation would ge, in any way. league or no league. To adopt such reservation, continued MT. Wilson, was not to interpret the covenant, but would constitute an absolute withdrawal" from the re- responsibilities of article ten and con, sequently rejection of the treaty. .
 Instead of waiting to get what it could without assuming any resbonr sibility. it was the nations duty. he said, to accept the leadership which the world now offered. That cou:d be done, he continued, without in any way impairing national sovereignty, taken without the vote of the United States.
 The president was cheered again when he said that the "only serious forces" back of the movement to re- ject or change the treaty proceed from exactly the same sources as the pro-German propaganda proceed ed from" He added that he had no notion of reflecting upon the public men who were aiding the opposition, but he declared they were pleasing Germany by their attitude. Through certain channels open to the govern ment. he said, he knew Germany was praying that the United States would stay out of the league.
 Every previous treaty. said the president. had been a division of spells. while the present document was can absolute renunciation of spoils"
 Everywhere throughout the world, he asserted, settlements had been made on the theory that the people themselves would determine what form of government they should have.
 Through the people. the president said, he was appealing to senators to take a second thought if they in tended to write into the treaty any such reservation as that he had quoted
