FIGHTING FOR
ENTIRE treaty
Unqualified Endorsement Is
Stand of Administration
BY l.. G. MARTIN

UNITED Press Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. July 25.-While
senate administration leaders today
declared William Howard Taft's sug-
gestion of reservations will have no
effect on the treaty fight, senators
advocating reservations said the for
mer presidents attitude will convince
the country as nothing else could of
the absolute need for reservations.
The administration fight, Senator
Hitchcock said today, remains just
as it has been-a fight for unquali-
fled endorsement of every word OF
the treaty and the league of nations.
Arguments against reservations
were to be made today in speech
by Senator Pittman, Nevada.
While the Taft move continued to-
day to hold senatorial interest, there
was also much discussion Of the new
clash between the republican senator's
and President Wilson for his failure
to submit the special French treaty
and to answer three senate resolu-
tons asking for information on tho
peace treaty.
The foreign relations committee to-
day continued reading the treaty.
The reading will be finished. at the
present rate. early next week.
