NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-There is no indication of an immediate drop in footwear prices, J. Frank McEl- vain, president of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers as- sociation, said tonight in state ment in which he asserted that his remarks at the Middle States Shoe Wholesalers convention here yes terday had been misquoted, Mr. McElwain had been quoted as pre- dieting that shoe prices were due for a tumble after Christmas.
 Mr. McEIwain in his statement said that "shoe prices have never reached the high peak represented by the August price of hides" AL though hides have declined 20 per cent in price since the August high point, shoe costs have been based on still lower figures, it was stated.

Republican A. p. Leased wirel

ATLANTIC CITY, N J. Oct. 15.- General Burleson today gave the Ma tional Hardware association and the American Hardware Manufacturers association, in joint session here, the first public account of his administra- tion, which he has made since he en- tered the cabinet.
 Policies which lave made him the object of perhaps the most bitterattacks diI Iected against any of President Will sons advisers, were explained and the difficulties of his administration under war conditions were described to the business men forming the audience.
 Record has been made of what l stand for" MT. Burleson declared, smashing his fist into his open palm. "and it is not going to be changed"
 Chief among his critics MT. Burleson listed the express companies, which, he said, were angered by his development of the parcel post; the railroads, op- posed to changing the basis of mail pay from weight to space; owners of pneumatic tube systems, which he de- clared, had been nothing short of graft" newspapers and magazines, which had been forced to pay higher second class rates, and the American Federation of Labor, offended by his stand against public employees affiliat- ing with an organization using the strike to enforce demands.
 He declared he had been confronted with powerful opposition exerted through congress by these interests.
 Mir Burleson particularly defended his enforcement of the espionage act, which, he said, earned him the epithets of the disloyal because he excluded seoitlonous newspapers from the mails.
 Turning the current political ques- ticns, the postmaster general declared the welfare of the country waited on ratification of the peace treaty by con- gress and the passage of important legislation urged by President Wilson many months ago.
 Now they are talking about recess in November" he said. with many things left undone. If the party ir power undertakes any such step, the attention of the American people will be brought to the facts"

Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

LONDON, Oct. 15.-In connection with the report from Germany that England had invited Germany to CO., operate in the coercion of soviet Rus sia, the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press learns that a communi- cation of this nature was made to Germany by the peace conference.
 Word of the request to Germany to participate in a blockade of soviet Russia came first from Berlin and was later followed by reports from neutral states. intimating that they too, had been requested to join in a blockade. No definite announcement of such contemplated measures had, however, been made from Paris or London, causing some adverse newspaper com ment. It was stated in Paris yester- day that the United States did not join with the entente powers in asking Germany to cooperate in such a blockade and the American delegation there did not admit any American participation in an actual blockade against Russia.

Getting Better 7 Says Report From
 Wilson s Bedside

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is Absence of any new complication in President Wilson's illness brought from his bed- side late today the assurance that he Is getting better" Elimination of the recent annoyance caused by a slightly enlarged gland has removed the only outstanding obstacle to his convales- cence and about the White House there was manifested a decided atmosphere of optimism.
 With the exception of news furn- ished him by Mrs. Wilson, the presi- dent has learned very little of na- tional developments, although he is given daily a general summary of events. He has, at times, expressed a desire for more comprehensive re- ports and has asked Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician, for news but always Dr. Grayson has suc- ceeded in keeping away from his pa'- tient information that might prove trying to his nerves.
 The presidents appetite is reported to be as good as expected and re- currence of the glandular trouble is not anticipated. Only a moderate rate of recovery is looked for and indica- tions, official and otherwise, are that the improvement announced today may be continued.
 Only the following brief statement was issued by Rear Admiral Grayson at 1O:3O o'clock tonight
 "The president has had satisfac- tory day"
 The headache from which he was suffering early in the day, it was learned, had disappeared.

SHANTUNG TALKS UPSET HOPE FUR
 EARLY DECISION
Senators Talk Loud and Long on Point Soon to Be Decided-Five Neutral" Members Announce They Will Oppose Amendment but Favor Minor Reser- vation
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. - Entirely filling another seven-hour session with talk, the senate upset completely the hopes of leaders on both sides of the treaty fight that a vote might be reached on the Shantung amendment or that at least some progress might he made in the reading of the treaty.
 The formal reading of the text had been the original purpose of the long session arranged for today but the Shantung question got the floor at the outset and it soon was evident that the treaty ratifying board was off for an other field day of debate.
 Toss Up Sponge
 Hoping then that the way might be cleared for the reading at tomorrow's session by ending debate on the shan tung provision today, the leaders agreed informally that the amendment should be voted on if possible before adjournment. Both sides lined up their forces for the test but when, late in the afternoon, Senator Reed, demo- crat, Missouri, began another long attack on the treaty, the senate man. agers threw up their hands and an- nounced there would be no roll cai today. There has been no formal agreement, but the leaders hope for final action on the amendment some time tomorrow afternoon.
 During most of today's session, the debate stuck close to its text, which was the foreign relations committee 3 amendment to transfer the Shantnng right to China in place of Japan. Five senators, whose stand has been the subject of some speculation announced they would vote against the pending proposal, but all of them indicated they would support a reservation on the subject. They were Senators Col., Rhode Island; Lenroot, Wisconsin and Spencer, Missouri, republicans. and | Shields, Tennessee and Thomas, Colo rado, democrats.
 Besides Senator Reed. Senators Borah, Idaho; Brandegee, Connecticut and Lodge, Massachusetts, spoke in support of the amendment, Mir. Brande- gee reading into the record long pamphlet on the subject published by the Chinese society of America, Sen ator Lodge, who as chairman of the foreign relations committee wrote the amendment, made a speech of only a few sentences in reply to the argu- ment that amendment of the treaty would mean It's de1eat.
 Always Will Be Welcome
 'We never will see the day" sait MT. Lodge, when Europe will refGa' to let the United States come into th' treaty on any terms it chooses. It cal dictate today, but the moment we be come ensnarled in the league we can do it'
 During the day interpretive resolu tions proposing the preservations o Egypt's right to self government an ccnstruing the league covenant t guarantee freedom to capable people placed under mandatories by tn treaty, were presented by Senate Owen, democrat, Oklahoma. He sai he intended the measures to be en
 tirely separate from the treaty rati fication.
