FIGHT ON ARTICLE X
WILL START TO-DAY
BY JAMES r. NOuRSE

Washington. Nov. 9.~--One of the
most striking phases OF the treaty
fight In the senate will be launched
tomorrow when the reservation TO
Article X. will be taken up. This
reservation is In exactly the same
language as that which President
Wilson read in his speech at Salt
Lake while on his western tour and
characterized as having been de-
signed 20 cut the heart out of the
yea ty 49, = 81 - y ~,.t f+r.:.> s.-a So
The reservation is as follows;
The United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
, integrity or political Independence
II any other country or to interfere
in controversies between nations
whether members of the league or
rot--under the provisions OF article
10. or 70 employ the military or
naval forces OF the United States

any purpose. unless in any particular
case tho congress which. under the
case the congress which. under the
/ declare war or authorize the en-
( ployment Of the military or naval
! forces of the United States. shall by
act or Joint resolution so decide"
when the president read this res
/ ,rvation to his Salt Lake audience
there was loud applause, which he
stopped with the question:
DO YOU want to cut the heart
out OF the treaty." Then the pres
ident went on to say that inclusion
of this reservation in the resolution
OF ratification would absolutely kin
the treaty.
At that time the reservation had
not been definitely agreed upon by
the Republican majority of the
foreign relations committee. 1t is
row before the senate with the en-
dorsement of eleven of the seven
teen members of the foreign rela-
tons committee.
That the reservation will be
, adopted by the senate is the ex-
pressed hope OF Senator Lodge. the
Republican leader. He said today
that he counts upon the full vote Of
the Republican senators with those
of at least four of the Dem ocrats---
Shields, Reed, Gore and Walsh. of
Massachusetts,. II all the senators
are present and voting, the sup
porters of the reservation, Lodge
asserts. might he able to muster So
or So votes for It.

TELEPHONE RATE CASE
TO Be HEARD TODAY

Practically every town and city in
the state. where the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone company has
lines, will be represented this morn
ing before the state corporation com
mission which will take up the com
pany's patition for An increase IN rates
over those put into effect by Postmas-
ter-General Burleson durin g the
period Of government control. The
hearing will begin at 1890 o'clock In
thef courtroom of the commission.
The question Of rates has precipi-
tated since the lines were turned
back to their owners two important
court litigations to determine wheth.
err in Richmond the city council or
the state corporation commission has
jurisdiction in fixing charges. Az
slstant City Attorney George Wayne
Anderson applied On Friday to the su
pre.ne court of appeals for a writ OF
nandamus compelling the company
which now has in effect here the
Burleson rates. to go back to the pre-
war rates. ordered by the coun Ill,
until the matter Of Jurisdiction can
be settled.
At the same time he noted an ap-
peal tn the appellate tribunal fror,
'NV Frtbf VI tHc corporation COM
mission which held that it. and not
the council. has the right under the
constitution of Virginia to regulate
charges made by transmission com
panies. The telephone company holds
that the commission has this author
ity.
In the petition, upon which the
cenfinissio will give a hearing today
the company Is asking for a material
increase of the rates put into effect
by Burleson.
