IN LOCAL MARKET
Recmrent Liquidation in the
High-Crade Shmes-Phila-
delphia Electric Ueak

The local market was weak with a
further lowering of stock values all
through the list. While the general
market from the outset showed a pro
nounced drooping tendency. the more
unSettling feature was found in the
recurrent heavy liquidation in a number
of the representative local stocks. which
only but a short time ago. were re-
garded as high grade investments. For
such needless sacrificing Of sound divi-
dend paying issues there can be only
one answer. That is-the strained
credit situation. The imperative need
Of cash by business and individual in
tere t, and their inability to obtain such
funds through the ordinary channels
forced such selling as witnessed to-
day.
Nowhere else on the list was this

the league without reservations or
no treaty at all" The Presidents g
letter Is a message in language
which would inspire. IL it had any
foundation of fact to sustain the
glowing sentences. Were he to ac-
cept the Lodge reservations, we
would become a member OF the
league of nations in which all the
other nations but the United States
would be bound to one another by
the four great peace-giving proVi-
sions Of the league. TO wit:
D The Limitation OF armament.
(2) The mutual guaranty Of Ar
ticle Y.
go The enforcement of submis-
sion to judicial settlement of dis
putes by universal boycott: and
90 Open diplomacy.
The reservations would relieve the
United States from the guaranty OF
Article \. but from none of the
other obligations.
Democrats Favored IL.
Forty Democratic Senators agreed
10 either of two forms Of reserva-
tion as to Article Y releasing the
affirmative obligation of the United
states under Article Y. and leaving
the whole matter under the article
TO the discretion OF Congress. The
same forty Senators agreed to the
Lodge reservations to the Monroe
doctrine. except that they wished 70

stead OF saying il three times, as
the Republicans had said IL. Mr..
Wilson repudIates the action OF air

that of the Republicans. Mr.. Will
sons words interpreted in the light

thor. without any qualification OF it.

league.
The real friends Of the treaty.
who have no political bias or per
sonal pride of authorship. are
anxious that the league. with the
Lodge reservations shall be ratified
as the only way in which ratiflca-
tion can come. They believe that
IL is most valuable for the world
even without Article Y. and the 9TH
er nations agree with them. They
believe that with the power of
anne endment provided in it. its de-
fects, as experience shall show
them, can be remedied
Framed Article Himself.
MIR. Wilson's objection is that the
United States must be bound to use
military force to maintain the terri
torial integrity and political indie
pendence of all the members of the
league. The other members of the
league who would naturally he in
terested in preserving the United
States obligation under Article y
are willing to release Il IL only the
United States will give life and
strnegth to the league by joining It
and complying with its three other
great provisions for preserving
peace. Mr.. Wilson says that h" Will
not permit the United States TO en-
ter the league unless II assumes a
burden to others they do not ask.
Woodrow Wilson is himself the
chief agent in preventing the United
States from upholding its honor and
performing it's duty as a member of

in the Chicago convention over the
treaty plank in the Republican plat
form were greatly increased by a
state ment yesterday from Senator

treaty opponents.
Senator Borah declared that moth

Senator Borah will lead the fight
