Charles E. Hughes Writes a
Letter to Senator Fred
rick Hale of
Maine.
FOR RPROPOSED LEAGUE
Advises That Senate Enter
League After Making
Reservations.
(By The Associated press.)

y
Washington, d. c., July 2S-A mum
ber of reservations to the League Of Ma
ti0ns covenant have been suggested by
Charles Evans Hughes, in an opinion
transmitted July a to Senator Freder.
ick Hale of Maine.
The opinion as shown in cOrrespon-
dence made public here today was
sought by the senator in letter OF
July 49, The senator wrote that he felt
certain that considerably more than
third Of the senator's would refuse to
ratify the peace treaty and covenant
as they now stand, but that he person
ally did not want to see it happen. and
asked an opinion on the validity OF re-
servatiOns to the league covenant.
Need for League.
There is plainly need for League
Of Nations" Mr.. Hughes wrote In re-
ply, "in order to provide adequate de-
yelopment OF international law, for ere
ating and maintaining organized ma
tional justice, machinery for concilia-
tion and conferences and for giving ef-
feet to measures Of international CO.
operation, which from time. to time
may be agreed upon. see no reason
why the object cannot be obtained With
out sacrificing any essential interests OF
Az. Yy,,;<aJ Gko foc
II think a prudent course would BE-
to enter the proposed league with reser-
yatiOns of a reasonable character, ade-
auate for our security, which would
meet ready acceptance and establish
conditions of amity ut the earliest pos
sible moment.
Put Wilson in Hole.
IF the senate adopts the reserva-
tions by majority vote, ! assume the
reservations will be part of the assent
to the treaty and the question will then
be, would the senate give its assent
to these reservations, by the requisite
two-thirds vote?
III the senate gives its assent to the
treaty with the reservations, the con-
currence of the president still will be
necessary and the responsibility for a
refusal to give his ratification with the
reserva tons, as adopted by the senate
as part of the instrument OF ratitica-
tion, would thus lie on the president.

HADMANY CASUALTIES

1t was Just year ago Saturday that
Hamilton county sent her largest con-
Ftingent Of selectmen to the war. There
were $50 in the party and, following a
breakfast served them at long tables on
Second street by the Red Cross an-
teen, they entrained for Camp Gordon.
The anniversary Of the leaving Of this
contingent is especially worthy of note,
due to the fact that more casualties
were suffered among these men than in
any other contingent leaving here, ex-
cept those assigned to the Rainbow di-
vision.
Camp Gordon was a replacement
camp and practically every man who
left Webster City July 26, 1913. went to
q replacement company and was in
France within month of the time he
entrained here. These men went to
France just as the big push was ut its
height and they were sent to replace
casualties all along the line. Many
served in the Argonne and many 9TH
ers went to other active sectors Oh the
western front.
Webster City and Hamilton county
gave this contingent the largest send
off, of any selectmen who left here.
The breakfast in the street was feat
ure and big parade, headed by the
band, accompanied the men to their
special train over the Illinois Central.
Little did people believe then that
pthe war would be over within few
months or that practically all OF the
men in this contingent would go over
seas almost Immediately and so large
a percentage of them would be killed.
wounded and die Of disease.
