Mr.. BAKER SAYS CLIMATE
SUGGESTED CAMP SITES

Questioned today by a House war
investigating subcommittee about the
location of most of the Army training
fields in the south. Secretary Baker
said he had never heard an improper
suggestion from any one about the
location of the camps"
MIR. Baker declared the camps were
placed in the south rather than in
the north solely because better
weather conditions obtained there
and he added that no influence that
he knew of was exerted to send tho

REPORT
NOW IS ASSURED
Committee on RecIassifica-
ton of Salaries Not Ham,
pered by Lack of Funds.

Clear sailing to the final report to
Congress is before the joint congress
sional commission on Redistribution
of salaries in the District as the
result of the extra appropriation of
$4,000 recently granted. This sum.
together with the original appropria-
ton of $4,000. practically insures
that the commission will not be ham
pered in its work by lack of funds
from now on.
There is enough work before the
commission without it's members hav-
ing to worry about where the money
is coming from to complete the re-
port, and those who are reclassifying
the 10000 federal employees in the
District feel general satisfaction over
the situation.

HOLLAND REPLY CURT
AS TO Ex.CROWN PRINCE
Indignant Answer to Allied Coun-
Gil Not Taken as Attitude on
Ultimate Extradition.

PARIS, July 1I.--Feeling in confer
ence circles today was that the curt
rcjoinder of Holland to the allied note
regarding the former German crown
prince received yesterday could not
be taken as indicative of the Dutch
attitude on the final question of the
surrender of either the former en-
peror or his oldest SON.
1t is felt in conference circles gen.
orally and in American quarters par
ticularly, il is understood, that the
Dutch reply was just about what
might have been expected in the cir
cumstances. Representatives Of the
allied and associated powers are Of the
opinion that the allied communication
implied the assumption of some dere-
LECTION on the part of the Dutch gov
eminent and that its reply was mer-
tied.
The council of five yesterday re-
ceived a reply from Holland In an
swer to the councils note regarding
the reported escape from the Island
of Wieringen of the former Germa n
crown prince. The Dutch note, in what
were said to be rather curt terms,
pointed out that the rumor of the es-
cape was unfounded and expressed
surprise at the warning given by the
council.
The Dutch government, the reply
added. is conscious of its internal OBJ
legations, and must be left free to
exercise it's sovereignty as it sees fit.

Center of Opposition.

Opposition centers about article 10
and the phraseology of the clause re-
ferring to the Monroe doctrine. Lam
guage protecting the latter more spe-
officially is not going to cause as
much of rumpus as has been sup
posed Debate on article 10 will be
complex. But a reservation equiva-
lent to stating that the powers of the
American Congress to determine
what the words external aggression"
mean under all circumstances is very
probable.
Discussion about that two-thirds
vote requirement for amendments to
the ratifying resolution is continu
ing. The Senate rules are explicit-a
ma jority vote is all that is necessary
to amend.
But Mr.. Wilson is said to have had
in mind a possible situation in which
the republicans would be unable to
muster a two-thirds vote to pass
ratifying resolution containing OBJ
jectionabie reservations. because the
democrats. being about forty-six strong
behind the President, could block such
a move by various tactics.
Mr.. Wilson's speech and the recep-
ton he got in the Senate were still
the talk on Capitol Hill. 1t was an I'M
dramatic scene-compared to the stir
ring and tense moments when Con-
Rress was asked to declare war.

FIGHT ON H. c. OF |.
TO Be STRENUOUS
Army Food Distribution Only
Opening Wedge in
Plans for D. C.
WILL BUY IN SUBURBS

With plans being worked out to
distribute not only Army foods, but
other supplies, from the District mar
kets and auxiliary points, at a big
saving to consumers. every hope was
held out, by officials interested in the
movement. that the backbone of high
food prices shortly will be broken
here.
The District markets-Fish, East =
ern and Western-are about to begin
operations on scale never before at
tempted. Distribution of Army prod
ucts is planned only as an entering
wedge to give consumers here a
chance to land a heavy blow on the
high cost of living.
Something" Has Been Started.
The Undertaking is so much of an
experiment that the Comm SIS toner's
will not venture a guess as to where
it may end. But in official circles
generally today there was agreement
that something has been started
which promises to so long distance
before it stops.
The order sent out yesterday for a
carload of Army meats and canned
goods completed the first link in the
chain which it is proposed 90 link
around the neck of old II. c. of L.

The next link will be welded when

are instructed to bring into the mar
kets fresh country foods from a ra-

A prospective third link is recon
mendation To Congress by the Com
missioners to provide the necessary
authority and funds for the District
to go into the food business, utilizing
to the fullest extent all facilities
availa BILE for bringing food to Wash
ington and selling it direct to con-
sumers at the lowest possible cost.
Commissioners Will Support.
John G. McGrath. who has been des-
ignated director of food distribution,
is committed to this plan of action.
and the Commissioners will support
ii in part if not in whole.
1t is too early to forecast how far
the Commissioners will go in sug
costing to Congress that the local
government get into the food bust
ness in earnest, but the success of
the Army food distribution plan is
expected to have much to do with their
decision on this point
Saving to Consumers.
The Army food Is to be obtained by
the District on ten-day credit basis,
but as the post office trucks deal with
the farmers at their gates. it is pos
sible that cash will have to accompany
all orders. 1t is believed that the ar
rangement will save consumers nearly

Will Not Object.

Nor is there much ground for the
supposition that because Mr.. Wilson.
as is his custom at the outset of every
legislative fight. gives an impression
of Incorporating opposition to
amendment that he will object ulti-
mately to written Interpretation of
treaty provisions which is, after all,
his oral Interpretation.
The President has explained in con-
versation enough about the mooted
provisions to make it possible to
phrase reservations to which he could
not consistently object. Some of those
who have studied his methods in deal
ing with Congress say he always asks
at the beginning for the maximum
no amendment-but accepts changes
in the end. He has intimated that he
did not object to innocuous changes.
The question of what is or is not in
nocuous may always remain mooted
when once the controversy is over and
the reservations are accepted. Indeed.
it is confidently believed that if the
President accepts the reservations
made by the Senate, the allied powers
will do the same.

No Evolutionary Efforts.

The Senate chamber was crowded
and stufYy. Mr.. Wilson made no elo-
cutionary effort. He read simply.
plainly and without especial emphasis
on any portion of his address. He
looked tired, as il weighed down by
his tremendous labors.
Cheers came from the galleries in
abundance Democrats shouted. too.
Republicans were conspicuously silent
except for Senator McCumber, a friend
of the league Senator Lafollette came
in late as usual-he always strolls in
after everybody is seated. The Sem
ate looked interested, but the length
of the speech and sultry temperature
caused much fidgeting. Senator Lodge
listened attentively. Senator Borah
smiled as Mr. Wilson read. thinking
perhaps of an appropriate answer.
in their seats. The speech waa not
interrupted. Mr.. Wilson gave no op-
portunity for applause. introducing no
rhetorical effect or pauses.
Up in the galleries the French am
bassador beamed with satisfaction as
agreement with France. Mrs. Wilson
and Prof Stockton Arson, brother of
the Presidents first wife, sat together
in the same gallery where the presi-
Dental party was grouped. The Abyss
sinian delegates in their black robes
senator's in their palm beach suits
"a binet members in front seats, MEM
hers Of the House of Representatives.,
including Uncle Joe Cannon. in the
hack row, gave the scene an interest
ing though hardly impressive setting.
Atmosphere Is Different.
II was a distinctly different atmos-
pbere from that in which war was
declared It was setting Of mid
summer leisure rather than underly-
ing tension or emotion. It was indeed
a matter of fact affair, quiet, almost
solemn, but historically an anti-cli-
max. for much Of what Mr.. Wilson
said had been heard before in Senate
debates or in newspaper cablegrams
from abroad.
The President probably win be much
more interesting when he goes on the
stump, for the staid, dignified Senate
received the peace treaty, league of ma
lions and all. as it might receive an APP
preparation bill or any other piece of
controversial legislation.
When it was all over 4enators gath
cred in groups and commented among
thenselves-most of it not for publica-
ton. Analysis Of these informal COM
ments justified the prediction that the
treaty and league will be ratified and
that the reservations will prove COM

which will TO some extent define Ameri-
can obligations on which doubts have
been raised.

Haven't a Ghost of a Show.

Irreconcilable opponents of any
league of nations. those who would
strike out everything in the covenant
after the preamble. haven't A ghost
of show to win. That is generally
admitted. But on the text of the reso-
luton by which the whole treaty and
league will be ratified, there's where
the real debate is coming. What
makes it possible to report confidence
in an early agreement is the informal.
not the formal, comment of the sena-
tors.
Mr.. Wilson talked to many of them
and explained points about which they
had doubts. For example, the Presi-
dent tells the senators that nothing in
the covenant takes away the constitu-
tional war-making powers of Congress-
that the league merely advises action
in cases which may come up. but that
the final decision to employ military
and naval forces rests with Congress
Ii that is the case. a number of men
who have been opposed to the league
because of article ten would like to
say SO as explicitly in the ratifying
resolution as the President says it in
informal conversation.

BREACH NOT WIDE
ON PEACE TREATY
President and Senate Nearer
Agreement Than Appear
ances Show.
PUBLIC COMMENT FAVORS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Appearances arc often decciving
even in considering SO momentous a
thing as a peace treaty. For the fact
is that while President Wilson and
the Senate seem to be far apart. judg-
ing from public utterances, actually
they are near an agreement.
No one expected the republicans to
applaud the Presidents speech to the
Senate, and they didn't. No one eX-
pected their public statements after
ward to commend the address---in fact.
it is whispered. some of the state
ments were prepared before Mr.. Will
son concluded his speech. And by the
same taken. no one really takes lit
orally Mr.. Wilson's remarks against
reservations.
Both sides in the controversy have
a good deal of pride about their po-
sition. but the remarkable fact is the
disinterested observers. the great ma
jority of the men in the press gallery
who have looked on disinterestedly
in many an analogous situation, fully
expect the peace treaty, league of ma
tons included. to be ratified. but with
certain reservations tackled on by the
republican leaders.
