Hny important reservations, In tn,
opinion Of William J. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan stopped in this city 6
lew hours this morning en- route from
washington to Hot Springs, Ark. He
las been observing the undercurrents
4f thought on treaty ratification In
he senate closely, and has come tc
he conclusion that opposition to that
nstrument Is on the wane.
That a speedy adherence to the
treaty by this nation is essential for
ne continued peace Of the world, is
MSr. Bryan's view. 1.-THE world has
or centuries looked with seorn upon
Nero who fiddied while Rome
Burned he declared. To-day we
ave threatened confIagration in
&very nat on--one that in potentiality
suffering and ruin owe rshadows
&ven the world war we have just

fiddle while the world burns"
No one can give a guaranty that
4ny reservation or amendment will

Xause other nations to adopt reserva-
lions that We would have to accept

mo one can say how long peace
might be delayed or what might hap

Ins action would be of little concern.
But he gamblcs with the world as
Ktake. He may invite calamities
(Which he is powerless to remedy. De-
lay is dangerous. Immediate action

alluded.
n The old adage that delay is dam
Eerous was invented a long while
igo, when the dangers of delay were
3nuch less than they are now" he
feclared. 1.-THE chaotic conditions of
fhe world make it imperatively nee
tssary that the senate should act at
Pnce; they are gambling with the
Horld, with civilization as the stake.
Tfhey invite calamities which they are
powerless to recall or remedy. Their
Responsibility, therefore, is immeas-
hrable and their, folly therefore mex
Fusable. Every amendment or reso-
pution which they seek to secure can
be more easily secured in the league

Paris (Friday). .-Bulgar's answer
to the terms Of peace presented her
by the Allies is moderate in tone and
adheres unreservedly to the clauses
concerning the League of Nations and
Labor. 1t accepts the principle OF
protection of the minorities in Bulga-
ria on the condition that the same
measures are applied to theother Bal
kan states.
On the other hand the reply makes
reservations regarding reparations
and protests especially against the
sum total demanded of Bulgaria. 1t
asks for the suppression of the inter
est charge and rekuests an extension
of the time limit for the payment.
Regarding the military clauses, Bull
garia objects to the voluntary enlist
ment system maintaining that con
scription alone can produce suffi
cient force to maintain order The
longest part of the reply concerns the
territorial clauses. There are pro
