Washington. Aug. 20.-TcC: res
ervations on the League of Nations
covenant are embodied in sepa-
rate resolution prepared to-day by
Senator Pittman of Nevada, a DEM
ocratic member of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. for Introduction
in the Senate.
Senator Pittman said the resolu-
ton was in line with the suggestion
made to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee yesterday by President Will
son that if reservations are to be
made they should be embodied in a
separate resolution and not in the
resolution of i ratification, which
might make new negotiations neces-
Sary.
Has Some Support
Senator Pittman said the reserVa-
tions had not been submitted to the
President. They are similar to those
proposed by a group of seven Re-
publican senator's and deal with the
right of withdrawal from the league,
Article ten, domestic questions and
the Monroe Doctrine.
The lineup of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee on the Peace
Treaty remained unchanged after
three and a half hours discussion
between the Senators and President
Wilson of the terms of the docu-
ment.
The victory, if such there was
rested with the Senators, for while
not a single opposition member was

4 Greater Harrisburg" to
have a population exceeding the
hundred thousand mark, is the
goal at which the movement
launched to-day by the direc-
tors of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce, is aimed. The
movement was inaugurated at
the meeting OF the directors
held in the Harrisburg Club at
noon.
lone hundred and twenty-five
thousand residents of Harrisburg by
1920" was deemed an appropriate
slogan to accompany the activities
attendant upon the movement. The
project has as it's direct object, the
incorporation OF Immediately ad-
jacent boroughs into the city limits,
with the ultimate purpose of elevat-
ing Harrisburg TO the list of second
class Pennsylvania cities.
Nearing New Census
The directors considered the pres
ent time as highly opportune Tor
the launching of the movement, in
asmuch as the country is on the
eve OIL dnOlN6I Ia llOldl tSISuS' 1 44S
Chamber officials felt that it would
be highly advantageous for Harris
burg and the surrounding boroughs
If they could be listed among the
cities whose population exceeds the
hundred thousand mark.
The idea was developed by the
Public Affairs Committee, of which
David Z. Tracy, is chairman. The
committee made a study OF the To-
cal situation and reached the con-
clusion that the elimination of such
plans for a Greater Harrisburg,
would be to the advantage of all
concerned.
Advantage to Suburbanites
II was stated to-day that residents
of adjacent boroughs already have
given consideration to the advisa-
bility of following the example of
Riverside, which joined the city. and
as a result there is a decided senti-
ment among a great number of SUI
burbanites, to cast their lot in with
the capital city.
The advantages to be derived from
augmenting Harrisburg into a
Greater Harrisburg, are numerous
il is pointed out, and would be OF
equal benefit to the surrounding
boroughs, and to the population oil
the city. BY passing the one hun
dred thousand mark and otherwise
adding to its population. Harrisburg
would be in position to derive the
advantages which accrue to cities
of the larger size.
For the boroughs, Harrisburg's
exceptional municipal ADVANTAGES
would prove valuable acquisitions
it was said. Further Developments
IN the Greater Harrisburg movement
are expected in the near future.

been attacked by three MeXicans,

killed with machine gun bullets.
Another was believed to have been
