payment of $4,000. 900 to that repub,
nc resulting from the partition Of

Developments thought potable in
the treaty fight include statements by
President Wilson outlining his stand
on the proposal for ratification reser-
vations and giving new information as
to the Shantung provision. Both OF
the expected statements would have q

Ex-SOLDIERS MAY RENEW
THEIR INSURANCE POLICY

Washington. - Discharged service
men who let their government insur.
ance lapse were given the privilege OF
reinstating their policies within IS
months without payment OF back pre-,
miums, under an order signed by Sec
retary Glass.
The new reinstatement regulation,
one OF number under consideration
designed to make it possible for every
discharged soldier, sailor and marine
to continue government insurance
after return to civil life, is regarded
as the most liberal ever offered by any
insurance organization. The only re.
quirement is that the man requesting
reinstatement must be in as good
health as at the time OF discharge and
must pay the premium for the one
month in which he requests reinstate-
ment.

WILSON MAY NOT Be AvERSE
Mr.. Taft's Suggestions Contained In
Letter to Republican Chairman
Hayes, Caused a Sensation.

Washington.-A plan for "interpre-
tatons' in senate acceptance OF the
league OF nations has been suggested
by former President Taft in the hone
or uniting on middle ground enough
democratic and republican senators to
defeat any radical amendment of the
covenant and in the end obtain its
ratification.
The suggestion has been received
with earnest consideration by the
group of republicans who favor the
league idea and who already are at
work on definite program OF inter.
pretative reservations which they de.
clare they have reason to believe will
be accepted by the administration.
The administration leaders however.
unwilling to concede that any reser.
vations will be necessary, still insist
they will have the votes when the
time comes to ratify the covenant as
ii is.
SO conndent are the league repub-
ilcahs OF the success OF their plan that
some OF them believe President VIII.
son will publicly accept 1t to smooth
the way to acceptance OF the league.
some republican senators who have
seen the President in the last few
days have come away from the White
House with the impression that Mr..
wilson while not encouraging reser-
vations II they can be avoided, might
not be adverse to such interpretations
as would leave the league fabric unim-
paired. They say, however, that this
impression is not based on any direct
statement by the President.
Mr.. Taft's suggestion, which created
sensation in the senate because OF
his we'll known advocacy OF unresery.
ed ratification, was embodied in two
letters to VIII H. Hayes. the republi-
can national chairman, copies of which
reached some republican senators.

II am firmly OF the opinion that

OF the tremendous advantages which
the American Cotton Association is
bringing to the entire cotton inter-

are terribly uneasy on account OF the
fact that they realize the world is
facing great shortage, that the pro.
