CHICAGO. Feb. 22.-Lieut. Cliff

In a letter to his father, Lieut..
Smythe told of deserting the Roma

result of his fears.
The Roma behaved so badly on

A friend Of Smythe quoted him
as writing. The dirigible seemed
sluggish and slow to respond TO
the controls. While she ended
the trip all right, she disobeyed
her rudder several times in a way
that was alarming.

to prove the most important gath

Wants German Colonies.

The whole question of reserya-

Harding by Senator Lodge, chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
Senator Lodge will confer with
the President today.
out of their conference, it is ex-
pected. will come a decision on what
attitude the administration is to
assume toward the proposed altefa-
tions in the pact advocated by .ir-
reconcilable members of the CON-
mittee.
Would Incur Opposition.
II the President stands firm
against reservations, he will incur
the opposition of a formidable
group Of Republicans. who will
have the aid of Democrats. The
group includes Senators Brandegee,
of Connecticut; Borah, of Idaho:
Mccormick. of Illinois; johnson, of
California; Moses, of New Hamp-
shire; Wadsworth, of New York;
McNary. of Oregon, and others.
But If he yields. the way for the
early ratification, of the four-power
treaty is opened. Long debate, and
the possibility of ultimate rejection
Of the treaty. will be avoided.
The position of the President mas
been that he was not disposed to
insist on the acceptance of the
treaty without the "dotting of an 1
or the crossing of a t." But he
believes reservations to be unneces-
sary, and would prefer that there
be none. He is supposed to have
given tacit assent to the Brandesee
reservation in the interests of policy,
but what will be his attitude toward
the new Johnson reservation is not
clear.
Objects to Word "Rights."
johnson offered his reservation in
committee yesterday. Its purpose
Is to declare that the United States
will not subsequently uphold the
rights" of the four powers in the
Pacific, where it does not at this
time recognize contentious as
rights" This might apply, it was
explained, to the Japanese occupa-
tion of half of Saghalin Island.
and to troubles arising between
Japan and China or Russia. Here
is the text of Johnson's reservation:
The use of the word rights in
the preamble and in Articles 1 and
IL of this treaty shall not be taken
to commit the signatory powers to
any guarantee of. or to any opinion
regarding. the validity of any rights
which may by any powers or people
be claimed as valid, but which at
this time may by other powers or
people be claimed as invalid; and
X Is understood that in any dis
pute. existing or future, regarding
the validity OF rights, the signatory
powers reserve each to itself a full
liberty of Judgment"
Lodge Asks for Delay.
1t was after johnson had offered
his reservation that Lodge asked
that a vote in committee on the
whole subject be delayed until he
had an opportunity to confer with
the President. Lodge denied that

MOVING OF GIANT
PICTURE IS TASK
Pantheon, $50 Yards Long
And Is Yards High, to Be
Brought to U. S.

PARIS. June 3.-Ocean transpor-
tation experts are puzzled by a
problem raised by the acquisition by
an American organization of the
immense war panorama known as
the Pantheon de la Guerre. which
is to be taken bodily from Paris to
New York for exhibition.
Not since the transfer from Egypt
OF the obelisk which is now in Cen
trail Park has such a Job beer
tackled.
The Pantheon de la Guerre, which
consists of a canvas nearly $50
yards long and about eighteen
yards high, showing 5000 or 1000
portraits of war ch..fs and allied
statesmen standing out in startling
relief against a background of the
battlefields Of France. has been pur-
chased for a tour of the world be-
ginning in New York.
The canvas cannot be cut in
pieces and put together on arrival.
1t must be shipped in one piece. en-
twined around an immense wooden
roller. Not many steamships have
facilities for such a feat OF trans
portation. and when the Pantheon
goes on tour in the United States
special railroad cars will have to be
built for II.
Since the announcement was
made that the famous canvas is TO
leave Paris there has been an out
cry in the press against the export
of what is considered a great work
of art. but investigation has dem
onstrated that OF the million or so
persons who paid francs to see II
since the opening Of the Pantheon,
just after the armistice. less than
1000 were French. the vast ma
jority of the visitors being Ameri-
cans, who went to see Pershing,
Liggett. Allen. President Wilson,
Ambassador Herrick and the other
notable figures who took a direct
part in the great war.
