HOOVER SUPPORTS
MILD RESERVATIONS
TO PEACE TREATY
Says League Should Not Be
Made an Issue in PreSi-
dental Campaign.
BELIEVES u. S. WANTS 1T.
Declares the Lesser Reserva-
tionists" Should Give Way
to the "Mild" Group.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2S.-Herbert c.
Hoover, in an address at Johns Hop
kins University to-day, announced
his opposition 10 making the ratifca-
ton Of the treaty with Germany an
issue in the Presidential campaign.
He insisted the injection Of the argu-
ments for and against reservations
would Obscure our pressing domes-
tic issues by conflict over a ques-
ton in which the country already
has made up its mind" and added:
Tt is my impression that there Is no
party credit in this position"
Hope for immediate ratifea-
ton Of the treaty rested, he said,
in the acceptance by the lesser
reserVAtionistsT Of the proposals
Of the "mild roserVationiStS."
The two combined, he said, could
secure ratification.
'Tt also appears to U.S." he con-
tinued, that even from the point Of
view OF the lesser reservationists'
they will have secured all Of the
major functions and values Of the
league. II It be put into being and
n II prove its living value in the
world, no one can doubt that any
necessary changes will be granted to
II by common consent as the years
go on
"For my part, IL the league
cannot prove its value under the
latest proposals Of the mild res
ervationists' Il will never prove
thom under the proposals Of the
lesser reseavationiStS'"
OPPOSES KEEPING TREATY
HANGING IN AIR.
The present danger Europe is fac
ing, Mr.. Hoover said, Is not so much
a revolutionary cataclysm as the
STEADY degeneration OF the standard
Of living and the slow edcay OF the
forces Of stability" Restored pro-
ductivity, he insisted. Is essential II
the Allies are to receive the maximum
reparation.
"UntiI then we shall not have
real peace" he said. "It will be
delayed as Iona as W. hang the
treaty In the air, for we are a
part Of H."
II do not believe the adherence Of
the American people TO the league
requires any demonstration" he con-
tinued. "It has been under discussion
for eight months. II has been given
able debate and consideration in It's
every complexion. ! believe that the
majority Of our people are convinced
OF the necessity OF reservations with
the league. Both parties TO the con.
flict appear to concede this.
The conflicting groups over the
character OF the reservations have
gradually abandoned their extrem,
ground and have come closer ant
closer TO a common mind.
'lt would appear TO an out
slider that both sides were in
agreement or all the great major
ideas Of the league and the ma
lor ideas Of reservations, but
that they are in disagreement
mostly over secondary questions
in the reservations. In the mean
time the world is held in sus-
psnSs. Infinite misery goes on
aeeumulating. Forces are set in
motion that may yield now con-
fIiots. Already the diStrust and
undermining Of confidence and
credit in the world has crippled

Some of the new fabrics brought out
this season developed a special fitness
for children's and misses wear. 1t has
been a time Of new departures In the
weaving of cloths and of tryouts OF
these fabrics for making winter gar
ments. Some of them were lovely, but
short-lived, and others have proved
sturdy as well as beautiful. New
weaves add the spice of variety and
the charm of novelty to the seasons
offerings, but they must have staying
powers to remain long in the good
graces of women, especially If they are
to face the weather, and the wear that
wintertime and children will exact.
Having stood the test and come up
smiling, the pretty coat at the left of
the picture asks to be considered. 1t
IS made of the material called auto
wear" and is a wooden pile fabric that
looks much like corduroy. 1t Is an
own cousin to that stalwart member
of the fabric family, but much softer
and having much more distinction in
appearance. Quite likely 1t was
planned to be used for motor coats.

usefulness 1t appears in coats for
