save himself, but the Salt Lake speech
threw II to the winds. Now II the pro-
posal should be adopted It would have
to be accepted as a defeat, for the Pres
ident himself is authority for the state
ment that II would take the heart out
OF the covenant.
And the situation Il to-day that IL 40
Republicans and scattering of Demo-
Gratis do not unite on this reservation It
will be because a stronger one will COM
mand their support
Mr.. McCumber's objection 10 tho COM
mittees for reservation as to Article X
Is that II leaves the United States en-
tirely out of the territorial guarantees He
believes this country should be a party
to these, but that 1t should reserve the
right to have Congress decide In each
particular case what action should be
taken to make the guarantees good.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) Democratic
leader, said the salt Lake reservation
somebody took the liberty to demoni-
nate it the salt Greek reservation"-
had not been discussed much among the
Democrats 30 far as he knew. He in
sisted that the situation was everything
he could desire. but persons close to him
assert that though he has been the most
optimistic OF all Democrats he is coming
to realize that reservations must be ac-
cepted finally. M
The question whether the league
covenant can be amended Is suddenly
looming as Of the greatest Importance.
Senators Brandegee (Conn.) and Cum
minis have been forcing It to the
front and It was the chief theme In the
debate to-day, as yesterday 1t occupied
a good deal of attention.
The fact is" said Mr.. Cummins,.
that It is impossible to amend tins
covenant and 1t was manifestly the In
tention of its trainers that Il never
should be amended"
MessrS Cummins and Brandegee have
pointed out that .amendments to the
covenant win take effect when ratified
by the nations, whose representative
compose the council, and by a majority
Of the members of the league whose
representatives compose the assembly.
But who shall initiate amendments?
inquire these Senators. Nobody has been
able to answer. And how shall the rati-
fication be effected7

the Democrats regarded as weak on the

of these ''mild reservationists" were i'm
pressed with It. 1t seemed to meet their
objections to the committees draft, and
there seemed to be some possibility that
II a sufficient group of them should ad-
here to It and the Democrats would
unite on 1t as a substitute for the COM
mittee's draft, the two groups might
muster .force enough to assure its adop-
ton.
That, at any rate. was the hope
that was springing in the breasts Of
pro-Administration Senators when the
President got hold Of the compromise"
measure, held It up before the salt
Lake audience and kicked II In the
Stats. The kick resounded in Washing
ton.
McCumber Denies Authorship.
It was a case of bad, very bad. team
work. The precise origin Of the reser-
walton, which looked SO good to Demo-
Gratis in Washington and so frishtfully
vicious to the President, has not been
authoritatively stated. 1t has been at
tributed in some quarters to Mr.. Nc
Cumber IN. d., but he said to-day
that it had been passed about among
Senators as proposed compromise as
against the committee niajority's pro-
posal. Mr.. McCumber said that while
he prefers his own draft he would ac-
cept this one II his own could not ne
adopted.
Somebody got hold of this suggested
compromise formula and 1t was wired
to the President, according to the state
nent made to-day by the League to
Enforce Peace.
Apparently It was sent for the infor-
nation of the President, and his prompt
and violent rejection of 1t left his sup
pcrters here In a most painful position
For before the President denounced It
the mild reservationists' had agreed
that they could unite on II. The pos
sibility of any agreement between these

ing to Senator McCumber-andt the Ad-
ministration forces was knocked into the
traditional cooked hat by the Presidents s
summary rejection OF it.
Since then considerable water has
gone over the dam. On the heels of
the Presidents denunciation of the one
promising proposal for compromise Sem
ator Lenroot (Wis), In a brief speech
that was unusually vigorous even for
him, declared that there must be strong
reservations as to Article X. in effect
similar to the formula that the President
had rejected. Then came Mr.. Cummins
(Iowa) with similar insistenoe that
there must be reservations of the same
purpose. Both these Senators have been
appearing in the lists of Republicans on
whom the Democrats based hopes of OBJ
tanning a compromise.
So it fell out, according to develop

WASHINGTON, Sept 2T.--Unless the

following shall go awry Americas man

granting complete authority to the Pres
ident to, use Fsueh military and naval
forces Of the United States as in his
opinion may seem expedient for the
maintenance Of peace and tranquility in
Armenia" This Is the programme OF
the Senate Democrats despite the fact
that the echoes of the Presidents re-
cent assertion that with the League of
Nations established the necessity for the
Lcys in khaki ever again crossing the
sea win have been removed.
Before a subcommittee of the Foreign
Relations Committee there appeared to-
day a delegation of Armenian -Americans
who urged n favorable report on Sena-
tor williams's report. They asked for
troops in sufficient numbers to insure the
restoration Of order. They told the Sem
ators that 10000 men and an appropria-
tion not to exceed $50, 900 were all
that the necessities demanded to make
certain the pea re of Armenia.
The extent of aid sought by, the Arme-
American visitors. it was remarked,
is considerably less than that estimated
by British experts in near Oriental af-
fairs, who have scrutlnized the Arme-
nian situation at first hand. The Brit
fish Government. it was generally be-
lieved, and quite frankly asserted, had
estimated that the real needs of the oc-
casion were for 100000 soldiers.
mands made to-day and the extravagant
estimates of the British, said some OF
the clairvoyant interpreters of American
foreign policy, woufd--be 10000 men,
which number 1t is believed will be
enough to solve Armenia's peace riddle
But just how the Senate feels about
adopting such a commitment for inter
fering in affairs of east Europe and
Asia Minor Is a very different thing from
Administration plans, Republican leaders
say.
Favorable action on a resolution such

the same time a suspicion reaches the
minds of the anti-Administration Sena-
tors that even rejection of the Williams

fution said: "A great many of our

One Of the most acute students of the dye situation who
ever served in Congress was the late Hon. Ebenezer J.
Hill, Of Connecticut who did much to compel the Demo
cratic party to raise the duty rates on dyes by
their act Of 1916, intended somewhat to insure our dye
makers Of protection to an industry they then had in pros
pect against resumption Of German competition after the
war Said Hill: IF every penny Of the specific rate which
proposed TO add to the revenue rates Of the present

il would take 100 years Of that burden to equal the losses
which the existing famine has brought upon the country in
the last u months " And the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce along about the same time declared
to the Chemical club New York: he total loss direct
and indirect now being borne by users Of dyestufs
and dyed wares amounts to not less than 81 100000

For breach to occur between the textile manufacturers
and the dye-makers now would be highly demoralizmg
