TAFT SUGGESTS COMPROMISE.
Proposes Interpretation" in Acceptance
of League of Nations.

Washington, d. c., July PA plan
for Interpretations in Senate accept
ance of the league Of nations has been
suggested by former President Taft in
the hope of uniting on middle ground
enough Democratic and Republican sena-
tors to defeat any radical amendment
of the covenant and in the end obtain
ats ratification.
The suggestion has been received with
earnest consideration by the group of
Republicans who favor the league of ma
tions idea and who already are at work
on definite program of interpretive res
ervations which they declare they have
reason to believe will be accepted bv the
administration. The administration lead
ers, however, unwilling to concede that
any reservations will be necessary, still
insist they will have the votes when the
time comes to ratify the covenant as
it is.
So confident are the league Republi-
cans of the success of their plan that
some of them believe President Viii
son will publicly accept it to smooth the
way to acceptance of the league.
Mr.. Taft's suggestion, which created
a sensation in the Senate because of
his well-known advocacy Of unreserved
ratification, was embodied in two letters
TO win H Hays, the Republican national
chairman, copies of which reached some
senators yesterday.
Mr.. Taft has written some of the Re.
publican senators, who have been inter.
ested in formulating middle course, for
solution of the Senate situation
While the letters were being cireu-
lated among Republican senators yes
terday, the first public expression on the
Shantung settlement came from the
White House in the form Of state
ment declaring altogether false published
reports that the president had formu-
lated the provision. The statement con

SUGGESTS POLICY
TO MEET OBJECTIONS
Reservations That Might Be
Acceptable to Both Sides
to the Controversy Are
Proposed-Senator Hitch
cock Is One of the Lead
ing Spokesman for the
Administration.

Washington, D. c., July 24.-Former
President Taft, who has written to sew
eral Republican senators and leaders sug-
pesting reservations to the peace treaty
which might be acceptable to both sides,
has opened correspondence on the sub
iect with prominent Democratic senators.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, one Of
the leading spokesmen for the admins
tration in the Senate fight, received a
letter to-day from Mr.. Taft.
The former presidents communication
to the Nebraska senator was not made
public, but it was understood to be Of
The same general tenure as those sent to
the Republicans, suggestions for agree
ment upon treaty reservations or inter-
pretations to facilitate ratification
Senator Hitchcock and other admins
tration senators declared to-day, how
ever. that for the present, at least, they
would continue their efforts for ratifica-
tion without reservations. Expressing
confidence that there was no doubt but
that the treaty would be ratified, they
said the fight now eentered on the reso-
luton accompanying ratification in which
would be embodied any reservations or
interpretations.
Contending that Senate rules required
n vote on each article of the treaty, the
administration leaders said they believed
they had the votes to defeat amendments
TO any section as a simple majority only
would be required.
ConcediRg that strength might develop
10 compel acceptance of a ratification
resolution with qualifying clauses, the
administration senators said they had
not vet been advised by President Wilson
whether he would be disposed to accept
any interpretations. 1t was said, how
ever, that the administration would op-
pose to the last any qualifying clauses
which would require renegotiation of the
treaty.

President Wilson's advisers said to.
day that the president had known for
several days of the existence of the let
ters of former President Taft suggesting
reservations on the peace treaty. Some
of the senators with whom Mr.. Wilson
has conferred recently have been in com.
munication with Mr.. Taft on the sub
iect of reservations and it was assumed
that the former presidents suggestions
were discussed at some of the White
lAouse conferences.

CONGREGATIONAL NOTES.

Rev. w. N. DeBerry, D. d. of Spring
field, Mass, was chosen vice modera.
tor of the national council Of Congrega-
tional church that met few weeks
ago in Grand Rapids, Mich. For sew
eral years, this body of Christian men
has chosen as vice moderator col
ored man and it reflects credit on the
Congregational churches and ministers
to do such thing. The Congregational
order can claim about $4,000 colored
members and for them to elect a col
ored man for such high Office is
fine step and is worth Of notice.
Rev. DeBerry has had but one church
for twenty years. He has built that
one up and it is one of the leading
churches among colored people and it
is church that is highly respected by
white people Of New England. His
work is an achievement and should be
o light to younger laen.
Howard university inaugurated their
new president last week and the pro-
gram was made out by DR.. Emmitt ).
Scott, lately Of Tuskegee. He has been
assisting the secretary Of war IN his
hard duties. But now DR.. Scott is
professor in Howard university. Great
things are to be expected Of Howard
university.
The supposed causes Of the race
riots Of Arkansas and the real cause
ere very different. The press has CIV
en- as the cause; the Negroes were
banding themselves together to kill all
all the white people and take their land
from them. The real cause is this, ac-
cording to true reports, the colored
people were trying to get the Whlte
pople to settle with them for year
work on the farms Of that section. Inc
system Of peonage in labor exists ~
that section and wherever that system
exists the whites seldom, II ever, SET
lie with the men that work for them.
The coiored people urged settlement;
and went SO far as to demand settle
ment. They were lynched and run on
and treated unfair because they wanted
settlement Now they are tried Dy
1.-THE courts and they are not given eoun.
sci and they are rushed off to PRISON
= i-.. &. Il
his is quite different thing to race
riots for the purpose Of killing all the
white people.
Write to your congressman about tins
riot and other disturbances and tell
him to take stand in favor OF the
RIGHTS Of the Negro of America
and especially Of the United States
Services as usual at the Union Con
gregational church. Business OF much
Importance will be attended to. SUP,
