continued. "are absolutely against
anything of that kind, anywhere. or

there to protect their property from

against the strikers.
Judge Gary estimates that rs per

SENATOR'S SHIFT
.EIR POSITION
In TREATY BATTLE
Several Listed in Favor of
Pact as it Stands Line Up
With Other Group
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

Washington-There has been q rapid
shift in senatorial scenery on the stage
from which Is presented the inter
national drama OF the League OF Ma
tions.
II looks today as II the covenant
OF the league and the pact OF peace
are TO be sanctioned by the senate OF
the United States. but with reserva-
lions OF u kind which will set forth
definitely the understanding which
the United States has of certain ar
ticles of the document and by which
this country intends to stand in the
future.
The reason for the belief. shared
by all parties 10 the controversy. that
reservations win be adopted is TO be
found IN the recent pronouncements Of
several senators who were supposed
to be favorable To the covenant as
II stands. that they cannot support II
unless certain reservations are In
cluded. Several Democratic senators
counted on from the first as supporters
OF the presidents position already have
announced that they are in favor Of
certain milder changes which have
been recommended by other senators
who from the first have been In favor
OF the league hut who also from the
first have declared themselves a.
favorable 70 what they call American
reservations.
The report Of the majority Of the
committee on foreign relations has
been made to the senate; accompany.
Ing IL there Is a minority report. The
majority report recommends certain
reserv ations which some men hold to
he 50 radical as TO necessitate the
recommit,ai OF ihe treaty 10 'he rep
resentailves Of ihe great powers The
minority report fsvors the treaty as
Il stands.
Three Factions In the Senate.
In the committee on foreign rela-
,ions the proportion of members who
are opposed to the treaty. and there

thereto. Is greater than the proportion
Ia the senate proper. This means that

COBLENZ, Sept. Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-More insis-

government food control, the host of
food profteers and food brokers, and
the ever increasing speculation in for

the food journals and farm magazines

Food prices continue very high This
is attributed partly to the low valu-
alton of the mark The official ex-

forces in German was % marks to the

Since Germany resumed commercial
relations with the outside world she has
been able to import only meagre guam
titles of necessary and staple food
stuffs, with the exception of fish and
milk, these food journals say. There
has been good crop of fruit and veg,
etables throughout Germany. Livestock
is reported to be about 90 per cent be
low normal, with little prospect of
enough food to stimulate breeding, ex-
cept possibly of hogs.
