for the following letter written to w.
M. Davie of American Falls from a

shoes he placed the following note:

POLL OF SENATORS
INDICATES EARLY
VOTE UPON TREATY

White House late today and was ex-
pec,ed to lay before him the whole
senate situation. especially as regards
prompt committee action. The ad-
ministration leader declined TO say
whether he would suggest a change in
the announced stand of the admins
tration against reservations.
The present concern Of sdministra-
ton ,senators Is said to center on Get-
ting the treaty out Of committee and
in this they declare the entire group
Of reservation republicans lined up by
today's poll will unite with them.
Beyond this. which would be consid-
cred As a step toward early ratifica-
ton, the leaders do not care to specu-
late.
1t Is certain. however. that in then
talks with the republicans the demo-
crat, have discussed also the nature
OF the reservations that might be re-
quired to satisfy twenty or more re-
publicans. The democratic leaders
count on at least ~ OF their own party
in the ratification fight. II takes "a
vote, 10 ratify the treaty.
A set Of reservations understood to
have been drawn by Republican
Leader Lodge. covering the same
points in the treaty as are dealt with
in the McNary draft, was circulated
among some republican senators to-
day. II is understood that in addition
the new draft included a provision
that all appointments Of American Of
ficials Of the leagueof nations shall
require Senate approval
The original McNary draft, like
that circulated today contains provi-
sions designed to protect the Monroe
doctrine insuring domestic decision Of
domestic questions, amplifying the
withdrawal clause, and reserving the
right OF congress to decide question,
Of peace and war under Article 10
The possibility Of breaking up OF
the whole senate situation was eyi-
denced by the fact that the negoia-
,ins between democrats and repub-
licans today were of far more direct
character than those which have been
in progress during the past few days.
The senate floor where the high
cost Of living was under debate, was
alive with private conferences among
senator's on the reservation problem

BELGIUM SPEEDS UP
Making Rapid Strides in Work Of
Reconstruction.
Program VIII Be Completed Success
fully, According to Henry
n. Morgan.

Brussels.-Henry H. Morgan, Ameri-
can high trade commissioner In Bel
GUM, has established a commercial or
struction of Belgian industries. He
announces that this organization is at
the disposal of all merchants and man.
ufacturers in Belgium and America.
To a press correspondent Mr.. Nor
gan said that. I'm view of what the Bel
CLANS already have accomplished, he
did not feel discouraged over Industrial
conditions in this country. "on the
contrary" he said, 81 feel certain that
they will@carry their reconstruction
program through to a successful con-
clusion. I notice an intense cultiva-
ton of the soil. which will result In
the next crop being nearly equal to
prewar crops.
Virtually all the glass factories in
the country now are in operation, and
80 per cen of the textile looms now
are busy spinning raw cotton arriving
from4the United States.
ut Is estimated that the loan of
500,000,000 francs which American
bankers have agreed to extend to Bel
GUM will go a long way toward recon
struction. 1t also will have a benefi-
cial effect upon the purchase price of
the franc, which at the present time
is very low. Repayment of this loan
is not to until 1880. 1t Is
only by rapidly building her mills that
Belgium can hope to pay back this
loan in the production Of her manufac-
tured goods"
Mr.. Morgan said it was estimated
that the Germans had carried away
one-third of the Belgian live stock. Ex-
perts of the United States department
Of agriculture have arrived from Amer
lea to aid the Belgian ministry Of ag-
riculture in shipping breeding stock to
Belgium.
1T Is my understanding" added Mr..
Morgan, that preparations now are
under way for sending a fleet Of 80
~essels, each carrying live stock"
