PEACE treaty GOES
TOSEVAT8RS SOON

The Senate treaty fight entered its
final phase today.
The Foreign Relations Committee
has finished work on the pact, which
President Wilson submitted to the
Senate on July 10.
As soon as the treaty can be re-
printed for amendments, and the re-
port on 1t written, Senator Lodge will
lay It before the Senate. This will
consideration of the treaty, article
by article, as required by the Sen
ate rules, probably will not begin
for more than a week.
As the Senate will receive IL from
the committee, the treaty will contain
several important changes in its text,
and carry four reservations as part
Of the resolution Of ratification.
adoption Of these reservations late
yesterday, in a tWo-hour committee
session, broke down the lines which
had formed on other questions when
Senator Shields, a Democrat voted
Tor three OF the reservations, and an
nounced that he was in sympathy
with the fourth one, relating to ar
ucle 10, but did not like its form.
Senator McCumber, chief RepubJican
supporter Of the treaty, voted for two
OF the reservations after announcing
the belief that the treaty cannot be
ratihed without reservations.
me majority report probably will
be nied Monday. The majority agreed
that the minority shall have several
days after the fling Of the majority
report to prepare separate minority

The real battle from now on, it is
conceded by both sides, will center

altogether rousing, the thousands OF
people from all parts of the State
cheering when the President appeared.
IL was clear that while Indiana is in
the hands OF Republicans, President
wilson, in the nonpaTtisan role Of uni
Versal peacemaker, has a strong hold
on the Hoesfers.
Crowds Cheer Constantly.
Constant applause of his speech by
the thousands Of enthusiastic people
that taxed. the utmost seating capae-
ity OF the spacious auditorium dem
onstfated that fact beyond doubt.
President Wilson is certain the
people will show their approval Of
the treaty. Indianians roared at his
confidence last night.
i have never entertained a mo-
ment's doubt of that .(the treaty rati-
fication), and the only thing I have
been impatient OF. has been the. de-
lay'' he said at Columbus, and the
crowd cheered.
II was rather easy to gauge the
sentiment OF the motley gathering OF
1900 individuals at Columbus in the
throes OF a street car strike and the
scene OF the annual State G. A. r.
encampment II was not an appeal
to the passions OF those sorely tried
bY labor unrest that the President
made, but a calm explanation Of the
magma charter OF labor Whicn is EN-
bodied in this treaty" Intense inter-
est was manifest and. the applause
was obviously genuine.
Greatest applause came toward
the close of the address when the
President urged the people to accept
the Interpretation Of those who made
the treaty and know what the inten-
tons were in the making OF II. The
outbuPst came with a spontaneity
that eloquently suggested a strong
sentiment or tribute Of confidence j
for the Chief Executive.
Something akin to eagerness for
pure facts is shown by the crowds.
They listen with respect and close at
tenhnn 70 the plain explanations or
reports OF the President, who, incl
dentalIy is calling che somewhat
strange "plebiscite" by the better
known name referendum" and 9TH
erwise clarifying notions regarding
teehnicalities.
Apart from the personal ovations to
woodrow Wilson. there are distinctive
evidences Of public applause for the
position OF the President on the peace
treaty that is generally recognized
BY those in the party as being decid-
edly representative of the majority
OF his audiences thus far. Salient
points advanced are instantly grasped
and the appreciation OF the crowds is
readily distinguished from familiar
brands OF partisan or political
ebullitions.
III could not have brought back !
the kind OF treaty that I brought !
back, / never would have come back, |
because I would have been an unfaith-
ful servant and you would have had |

tion delivered with decided emphasis |
