FRIENDS OF TREATY
TAKE NEW HOPE
Believe That Lodge Reserya-
tiens as Amended Win
Pass QuickN.

3. Friends OF the treaty. who believe
that it should be ratified with reser-
vations, were more hopeful today of
final favorable action on the treaty
than for. a long time. They believed
that with a slight change the new
draft OF the reservation on article 10
OF the league covenant can be adopted.
This new draft, which is the out
growth of number of conferences
and circumstances. provides that the
United States shall not assume any
obligations to guarantee the terrific
rial integrity of members of the
league by use Of it's military and
naval and economic forces and "any
order. A suggestion will be made
that the phrase "any other means" be
changed to read national resources" "
With this change supporters of the
treaty in the Senate believe it may
be possible to obtain sufficient votes
to put the reservation on article X
through. This reservation has been
the chief stumbling block in the way
of ratification.
1t is believed that the reservations
In amended form as submitted by Sen
ator Lodge yesterday will be agreed
to, one by one. until there remains

all that interferes with final action on
the treaty. it is believed that the
pressure for action will be strong
enough to break down the barrier.
MT. Hitchcock Disapproves.
The new draft was denounced by Sen
ator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, the dem
ocratic leader, as constituting mot
q compromise but a surrender" and
much doubt remained as to it's ulti-
mate acceptance.
Wait On Monroe Doctrine.
The disagreement over the Monroe
doctrine was thrown into the back
ground. the leaders apparently be-
neslng that it might be adjusted quickly
if a compromise were reached on arti-
Gle X.
Senator Lodge made no statement
regarding the new article x reser-
walton, but the mild reservationists
declared they were hopeful that later
he would present it also. The text
of this reservation follows:
legation to preserve by the use of
its military or naval forces, or by
the economic boycott or by any other
means, the territorial integrity or po-
litical independence of any other
country. or to interfere in contro-
versies between nations-whether
members of the league or not-under
the provisions of article X. or TO

PRESIDENT MAY PRESIDE
At CABINET MEETING

The next meeting of the cabinet
probably will be called and presided
over by President Wilson.
Secretary Lansing, who has been
issuing the calls for the meetings for
several months, said today he had
written cabinet officers that there
would be no more regular sessions
Of the Presidents official family for
the present. He would offer no ex-
planation, but it was understood that
his letter was written by direction Of
Mr.. Wilson.
Throughout the Presidents illness
the cabinet has met regularly, and
when the coal strike situation became
acute the meetings were increased
from one to two weekly. There was
no meeting yesterday and none will
be held tomorrow.
For several weeks now the Presi-
dent has been taking more and more
of a hand in the conduct of official
business. Secretary Tumulty said
today he had never seen Mr.. Wilson
looking, better. So. 4 a7s3s-- = :

, NEW YORK, February 12.-Great
piles of snow and ice remaining in
the streets from last weeks storms
and the resulting blockades of stalled
traffic constitute the greatest fire
menace in the history of New York" :"
according to Fire Chief Kenlon. who
today appealed to business men to
reduce the amount of traffic on snow
clogged streets where vehicles are
likely to be stranded.
The chief issued his appeal largely
on account of the difficulty fire ap-
paratus encountered in reaching a
blaze in lower Broadway last night.
Engines and trucks were forced to
use sidewalks to reach the fire be-
cause of their inability to make prog
ress through the labyrinth of blocked
streets. Stalled trucks and the snow
caused the stranding of two fire.

Banks Figures May Become
Artificial, Controller VIII
IiamS Warns.

Announcing that the last remain
ing floating indebtedness of the
government would be redeemed
Monday. Secretary Houston said
the position of the Treasury was
"very bright" and that government
officials saw nothing in the present
financial situation which they
would regard as extremely grave.
Warning that the prosperity and
activity indicated by banking figures
may become artificial and deceptive
was given today by John Skeiton
Williams in his annual report as con-
troller of the currency. go
Remarking, that in 1913 there was
not national bank failure involv-
ing loss to depositors, and that the
banking power of the country has
increased 900 per cent in the last
thirty years. Mr. Williams added:
"A large volume of money cannot
mean increase of real weslth while
there is decrease of production and
the accumulation and moven mt OF

diminished supplies of essential

per for the moment il We could sell
our products abroad at the higher
prices and take payment in gold OF
in goods at normal prices: but we
gain nothing when we sell and buy
at corresponding abnormal prices"
All the gold in the world aside
from $3,135. 900, 900 held by this coun-
try, was estimated by the controller
at $4,000, ,0oO. 900, or only about 40 per
cent Of the credit balance of this
country in the last six years. For
that reason he urged that this coun-
try should adopt a policy Of reason
able help and encouragement toward
debtor countries with no assets i'm
mediately available. but having fair
prospects Of being able to pay out il
given time.
Praise for the part played by the
national banks in financing the world
during a time of stress was given un-
stintedly by the controller. He ex-
pressed hope that the conservative in
fiuence Of the banks would lead manu-
facturers and business men to accept
for the present smaller profits, with
a view to building up general pros
perity, and the habit of thrift and
economy among the masses of the
