COMING CONFERENCE H.
WHITE HOUSE AROUSES
INTEREST OF SENATORS

WASHINGTON, I'D. o., Aug. 16.---
Interest in the senate treaty fight was
divided today between the latest turn
in the negotiations over the proposed
reservations and the forthcoming con-
ference at the White House between
President Wilson and the senate for
eign relations committee. Although
the administration leaders continue
to stand for an unreserved ratifica-
tion of the peace treaty, the group Of
republicans favoring reservations,
claim that their program will have
sufficient democratic support to put III
through. The members Of this group
contend that enough republicans
needed to insure the ratification On
the treaty had agreed to accept the
general provisions Of this program,
and feel assured Of its success.
Negotiations between democratic
and republican senator's looking to
ratification Of the peace treaty with
reservations, reached a more def
mite stage yesterday while President
Wilson and the foreign relations COM
mittee were getting together on un-
precedented measures to give the pub
lie all the details of their discussion
Of the treaty next Tuesday at the
White House.
Democratic leaders feeling out SEN
timent on the republican side were
told that the treaty never could be
atified without qualification, but that
more than twenty republicans wanted
TO see it accepted in the near future,
with reservations along the lines OF
those agreed on by seven senators Of
that party some days ago.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock, the
democratic leader, went to the White
House and j. understood to have laid
the whole senate situation before the
president. He made no formal an
nouncement after the conference, but
indicated that the administration
stand for unreserved ratification re-
mained unchanged.
* new draft of reservations was
shown to several republicans during
the day by Senator Lodge, the repub-
lican leader IL is understood TO COW
er the four points embraced in the
program agreed on by the seven sena-
tors and to include also provision
that appointment Of the American
representative on the league council
must have senate approval. The 9TH
er four provisions relate to the Mon
roe Doctrine, withdrawal from MEM
bership, jurisdiction over purely do
nestle questions and the right of con-
gress to declare war under article ten
of the league covenant.
Plans for the White House confer
ence Tuesday virtually were complet-
ed during the day, with an agreement
that both White House and commit
tee stenographers should be present.
Chairman Lodge also gave his assent
70 the presence Of newspaper CORES
pondents at the meeting.

Whittier has fled today;
You never can recover
The days you throw away.
Oh, think Of all the minutes

For time is all in all;
You must count each hour surely
