President Wilson Pictured
As "Oiginal Reserudtionist'

commissioners that this or. that
article of the proposed icasue cov<'
euant could only be accepted by the
United States insofar as 1t did not
run counter to the Constitution. The
commission was never left in doubt
ION such points, nor did any members
of it, ever raise the slightest OBJ
lection to the reservations which
the American delegates submitted.
Thecommission said amen" to them
all.
Grey's Letter Nothing New.
viscount Grey's letter, setting
forth that the Senate reservations
contain nothing Objectionable to
Americas war and peace associates,
therefore informed President Will
son Of something that he has known
for Q year past. 1t has no doubt
happened that the reservations for
mulated by Senator Lodge differ in
text from the kind of reservations
which the President alluded to in
the Paris commission discussions at
the Hotel Crillon. But there is high
authority for asserting that in es-
sence and substance they hardly
vary a hairs breadth.
The President is being subjected
to strong pressure from many in
fuential quarters to abandon his
uncompromising position. The con-
tents of the White House letter-bag
can leave him in little doubt that
the country has lost patience Mr.
Wilson is being adjured by his best
friends and by the best friends OF
the treaty not to sacrifice in a spirit
of petty personal pride the chance
at length offered to set the ma
"hinery of a league of nations in
motion.
II will be the league. not any OF
its articles, Mr.. Wilson is informed.
that counts and that will act as a
restraining influence on interna-
tional malefactors. That is to say.
! reservations will work out in prac-
\ tice as more or less meaningless,
because the need of them will be
automatically wiped out.
Washington seethes with con-
Trajectory rumors and prognostica-
tions of the Presidents real inten-
tions. An Administration official
opines. for instance. that Wilson
is going to fool everybody-hc is
going to deposit with the allies
any treaty the Senate ratifes."
Third Term Theory Secuted.
Few people in Washington take
seriously the suggestion that be-
cause the President is standing pat
on the treaty he is grooming hims
self to run for third term. The
best opinion in the Capital, includ-
ing that prevalent among Demo-
: cratic leaders, is that 'the thing iS
| against clinical experience" IL
may be that the Wilsonian spirit
is willing, but the Presidential
flesh is notoriously lacking in the
commensurate strength for 1920
campaign. =
The reason assigned for the Presi-
dents failure to proclaim that he Is
not odt for a third term is that "Eu-
rope would misconstrue such an an
nouncement." 1t is said that Mr..
Wilson must refrain from giving
Europe any ground for thinking
that he is finished" lest European
governments ignore the United
States even more than they have re-
icently been doing. Democrats
leaders point out that the Palmer
and McAdoo movements speak for
themselves and admit OF only one
construction--that the President has
said to those men. Go to it."

CUATEMALAN PARTY
Political Refugee Paints a
Graphic Picture Of
Its Politics.
By JOHN HEARLEr.

Not an impossible prospect of the
comparatively early future II the
United States of Central America.
Little or nothing regarding this
Latin American movement toward
federation has been published in the
American press.
Its advocates admit that the goal
is not easily reachabie and may pos
sibly be attained only in the wake
of revolution. However, the move
ment Is at present a peaceful one
and Is generally following constitu-
tional and legal lines.
Only recently have attempts to
form a Unionist Organization in
Guatemala been successful. Presi-
dent Estrada Cabrera holds the
country in as tight a grip as the
dead Diaz once held Mexico.
Federation idea Popular.
Nevertheless. over governmental
opposition the Guatemalan group.

Central American republics. slowly
formed and became operative. Its
propaganda. carried on under con-
siderable hostility. has attracted
many to 'the cause"
The younger students were among
the first to grow interested. In
as in Latin countries
generally the university is a real
political force.
Lately certain socisty women have
enthusiastically embraced Unionist
IDEAS. The movement has a philoso-
ply of liberalism. which has invited

to proceed to the consideration o.
the Article x reservations in order
to expedite a final vote.
Lodge II Adansant.
Mr.. Lodge. stating that the Re-
pubiicans would not quibble over
verbiage, declared without qualifi-
cation that the Lodge reservation on
Article x never would be modified
as to principle by the Republicans.
Mr.. Hitchcock replied that there
would have to be material modif-
cation, and that the Democrats
would vote again with the Repub-
lican irreconciIables TO prevent
ratification.
The Democrats will support the
bipartisan conferences committee's
reservation on Article X. They be-
lieve that although the President
still believes it's wording to be un-
fortunate and apt to chill the ma
tion's relations with its associates
in the league of nations. he would
exchange ratification on basis of
this reservation. The Republicans
will not accept the reservation.

the roar of the big packs as they

for miles. Warnings were sent to
persons living along the river below

Miami. Fla, March 6.-The plat
form adopted by the New York
Democratic state convention pre-
sents an issue which, in Democratic
councils. must overshadow every
other issue until it is repudiated
or indorsed by the Democratic party
of the nation. and. if endorsed. 1t
will become the only important is
sue in the Presidential campaign.
The plank, as printed in the press
dispatches, reads:
I'VE are unalterably opposed to
prohibition by Federal amendment.
We believe II to be an unreason-
able Interference with the rights OF
the State as guaranteed by the Con-
'stitution. We feel that the recent
enactment was the imposition of the
ideas of an active minority against
the wishes of the great majority Of
the American people. We therefore
declare. for. its speedy repeal and,
to the end that the personal liberty
of the people, of our State may be
thoroughly safeguarded until such
time as this repeal may be brought
about, we declare the right of our
State in the exercise Of its sover-
eign power to so construe the con-
current clause of the Eighteenth
amendment as to be in accord with
the liberal and reasonable views OF
our people"
New I'm Constitution.
The plank begins with a declara-
ton of opposition ("unalterably op-
posed") to a provision now embod-
led in the Federal Constitution and
as much part thereof as the Bill
of Rights. the provision for the
election Of a President and Con-
gress, the provision for declaring
war and concluding peace. or any
other provision Of that organic law.
