Administration Expected to Center
. Efforts On Bringing Treaty Out of
. Committee, leaving Negotiations
; j For Final Ratification Temporarily
, In the Background.
07 Associated Press to The Observer)
. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. As a se
quel to the white house conference
yesterday between President Wilson
an.d Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader in the senate treaty fight, it be
eume apparent today that the adminis
tration forces would center their pres
ent, efforts on bringing the treaty out
flf committee and defeating any text
lfj amendments, leaving in the back
ground any negotiations relative to
fj!al ratification with reservations.
I Jn the meantime, Republicans de
viated that one result of .the negotia
tions o'f the last few days and of
Senator Hitchcock's statement after
fye left the President, had been to stif
fen resistance to any attempt ai. unre
served ratification and to increase the
determination of those who want the
treaty amended outright. They as
serted yesterday's poll had shown op
position to the Shantung provision,
("rowing stronger in the face of the
explanatory statement from Tokio and
frbm the white house.
- ! ' Trend of Fight Indicated.
. ' The reported position of the Presi-1
dent that any textual amendment
would send the treaty back for nego
tiations with Germany, without any
military force to compel acceptance of
the American demands, was taken as
largely forecasting the trend of the
amendment fight. It was understood
that certain features would be empha
sised by Senator Hitchcock in a speech,
t6.be made next week in the senate.
The fact that Senator Hitchcock
Alb not quote the President as stand
ihk uncompromisingly against reser
vations for the same reason was point
ed out as significant by some of the
group of Republicans, who, under the
leadership of Senator McNary, Repub-,
llcan, of Oregon, have agreed on a set
of reservations. They declared all the
elements of the situation bore out their
claim of Wednesday, that they had in
formation insuring Democratic assent
to their program.
Favor Lodge Program.
. Among the group there was some
' favorable comment on the new set of
reservations shown to Republican
senators by Republican Leader Lodge.
In the same quarter it was pointed out
that should he definitely give his sup
port to a reservation program accept-,
able to a large number of senators, .he
logical, outcome might be a draft of
reservations by him which would be
come the rallying point of the Repub
lican advocates of reservations. .
It was known that Mr. Lodge had
been studying a number of drafts, in
cluding those drawn up by the Mc
Nary group and those suggested bv
Elihu Root, . William H. Taft and
Charles E. Hughes. He is understood
not to have stood sponsor for the draft
he showed the Republican senators,
however, but to have merely sub
mitted it to them for consideration.
Democrats Maintain Staad.
' Republicans asserted the only pos.-
' sible outcome if reservations are to
be adopted in place of textual amend
ments will be agreements on the draft
drawn by Mr. Lode or some other
senator wfck-h must I accepted by
th Dmocrats. The only question.

AMERICANS ARE GRIPPED BY

Merchant Have Boosted Prices, After
Observing How Easy People

I.v Aasnclat id Press to The Observer!
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. No solution
of tho high cost of living can bo
reached until the people of the United
Slates shake off their present spend
ing intoxication, according to William
Lewis, in a statement here today.
Mr. Lewis said that to lower Ilie
cost of living everyone must begin nnd
watch to curtail expenditures for lux
uries now soiling at exorbitant prices.
He declared the people themselves are
to blame, because merchants have ob
served the absolute carelesnam with
which people part with their money.
Millions of persons are not spending
from their eurnings but from their
savings of the past two years, said Mr,
