Correspondent Asserts Worst Danger Has Passed Hans Xeed Raw Material, Is tbe Report. BT CYRIL. BROWN. (Copyrisht by the New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.) BERLIN. July 10. (Special cable;) Just as the timely arrival of American troops turned the war. into victory, so the unostentatious but timely arrival of American fend has beaten bolshev ism in Germany. The peril is past. Despite the prospect of continued strikes and Internal disorders, Germany has passed. the Important turning point and at least a foundation of recon struction is being laid in better food conditions, which are slowly but stead ily improving. These conditions and prospects today are better than at any time in the past four years. Food, in deed, has proved a sure curs for Ger man bolshevism. The coming harvest promises to be better than any war crop. With brighter food outlook the German masses are expected to fake heart and settle down to hard work. Germany's principal worries now are the low ex change value of the mark and the danger of the war-stripped German market being swamped with allied manufactures Instead of the raw ma terials, which the starved German in dustries need. Germany has been hearing of tre mendous American plans for capturing German markets,' and many Germans already are harboring the secret hope that such a, commercial rivalry will split the allies to Germany's ultimate advantage.

Adv utterances -with an occasional gesture. Before him on the vice-president's desk lay the treaty, brought by him in per son from ersailles. . - There was no attempt at oratory and no applause Interrupted tne aaaress. Nearly every senator was in his seat and all listened attentively. Afterward his supporters were unstinted in their praise for the president's words, while those opposed either declined to com ment or declared he had dealt only In unsatisfactory generalities. Shanranar Arrangement Discussed. In his talks afterward with the league supporters, the president was said to have discussed at length the Shantung and Irish questions. He was quoted as saying he was not satisfied with the treaty provision giving Shan tung to Japan, but as declaring there was an informal understanding among the peace delegates that eventually Ja pan must make an acceptable agree ment with China In the matter. He was represented aa expressing confidence that Japan would deal rightly In tne final settlement. Discussing the failure of the peace conference to receive the represents tivee of Irish-American organiations on behalf of Irish freedom, Mr. Wilson was said to have told senators that the rep resentatives had so identified them selves with the revolutionary element In Ireland that it became Impossible to receive them. He was quoted as saying that both h and David Lloyd George, the British premier, had been anxious to arrange for a hearing. The decision not to bind Germany to definite indemnity, the president was reported to have said, was reached over his protest. He was quoted as saying he consented to' the indeterminate plan to help Premier Lloyd George over do mestic obstacles. It was eaid the queetion of Flume was not mentioned. Bio Reservations Wanted.' In talking to the senators the presl dent was said to have taken a firm stand against any reservations in the senate's ratification of the treaty. It was asserted he would nothe disposed kindly even toward interpretative res ervations to make the senate's position clear, pointing out that there always might be doubt as to whether any par ticular reservation really was innocu ous or would vitiate some league prin- le. The president also was quoted as saying he believed a two-thirds ma orlty would be necessary to write any reservations into the ratification reso- ution, but it was said afterward that e probably meant that the reservations, once a .part oi the resolution would have to have the support of two-thirds of the senators to secure action when the ratification vote was taken. Among senate leaders the impression has been that only a simple majority would be required to amend the ratifi cation resolution, and the president's reported statement met a sharp denial from opposition senators who cited a rule providing that in considering treaties two-thirds shall be required for ratification but only a majority on all other "motions and questions" in volved. Wilson's Visit Is Short. Regarding the proposed reservation under which the senate would declare the nation could not enter war under article 10 without a war declaration by congress, Mr. Wilson was reported to have declared such a stipulation un necessary. He was quoted as saying that the constitutional inability of the United States to make war without a congressional declaration was one of the reasons why the league council was authorized only to "advise as to the steps to be taken. In all the president's visit to the capitol occupied less than two hours. Arriving shortly after noon, he went to his office adjoining the senate cham ber and at 12:15 was escorted to the vlce-president'e desk by the five senior members of the foreign relations com mittee.

The address required 39 minutes and at its conclusion, while the senate and galleries stood and applauded, he was escorted from the chamber by the spe cially designated foreign relations members. He left for the While House at 1 :45 P. M. Mrs. Wilson and the president's daughter. Miss Margaret Wilson, were in the gallery during the address. The French ambassador, Jules J.

After the president finished speak ing, tbe senate adjourned until Mon day, when the ratification debate will becin. The foreign relations commit tee also will meet Monday to begin consideration of the treaty.
