Talks "Will Fail to Lessen Fight
Against Full Ratification.
WASHINGTON, July 16. Tn an as:-
feTesSlve effort to diminish senate op
position to the treaty with Germany
President Wilson will begin at the
"white house tomorrow a series of per
sonal talks with republican senators.
With his reiterated cffer to consult
with the forclg-n relations committee
unaccepted an'I with hisj opponents on
the republican side evidencing: no pur
pose to seek his counsel, the president
decided today to adopt the more direct
method of inviting- republican members
to the white house and laying- before
them one after another his reasons for
asking; that the treaty be ratified.
Fifteen Men Selected.
A half dozen senators whose names
were withheld were asked to meet the
president tomorrow u. tl it was indi
cated that invitations would be a daily
feature until Mr. Wilson had seen most
of the republican membership of the
treaty ratifying body. During the day
he selected 15 whom he desires to see
this week.
There was much speculation as to
the choices he had made for tomor
row's conferences. In some quarters it
was thought likely he had invited
Chairman Lodge and other members of
the foreign relations committee, but It
nlso was su attested t hat he mav have
f:hosen to talk first with senators who
ire inclined to be friendly toward the
treaty and have taken no definite stand
regarding it.
Appeal to Be Baited on Leasee.
Republican leaders opposing the
treaty in its present form did not hesi-
ate to predict the White House talks
.-ouId-fail to lessen the opposition to
in reserved ratification. Democratic
erjatora supporting"the president, how
ver, declared his course undoubtedly
neant that lie had convincing argu
ments to offer.
Those in the president's confidence
ndicated the burden of his appeal to
he republican senators wtuld concern
he league of nations and the Shantung
ettlement, the two provisions which
ave aroused greatest criticism in the
enate. It was predicted that he would
ell his callers the complete details of
he negotiations on the points and on
ny others that might be brought into
ucstion.
Old Treaties Wanted.
That it might be in a better situa-
ion to consider the Shantung province
rovision, the foreign relations commit-
ee agreed today to ask the state de
ar t m e n t for copies of all available
reaties bearing on Japanese and Oer-
nan interests in China. In its prelimi-
ary discussion of the Versailles treaty,
owever, the committee passed over
ntlrely that part of the treaty as ej
ecting Shantung and other former
obsessions of Germany, reserving the
hole subject for future discussion.
Shantung will be the subject of more
iscussion tomorrow in the senate.
cnator Sherman, republican of Illinois,
.iving announced he would speak
gainst acceptance of the treaty pro-
ision giving control of the peninsula
Japan. In this connection. Senator
orah may call up h is rcsolut ion ask

111; and Henry White, protesting
gainst the Shantung agreement. The
solution, which also a?ks whether the
linese delegates were "intimidated"
y the Japanese, is expected to arouse
ttcr opposition.

House of Commons Rejects Motion
to Prosecute TTnionist Leader as
Law Is Held Not Broken.
LOXDOX, July 16. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Sir Edward Carson's
speech Saturday has brought the Ulster
leader under the lash of the news
papers of all parties, primarily on ac
count of his references to the United
States, which are criticised as tactless
and calculated to breed bad blood be
tween the two nations, and, secondly,
because he reiterated his old threat to
call out the Ulster volunteers to resist
any attempt -to place the home rule
act in operation.
The labor organs are not- slow to
point out how such incitement to.
"direct action" could be improved upon
in the industrial field for securing
political ends. The liberal pro-Irish
perhaps are equally quick to point out
that, in point of tact, there is no dif
ference between "King de Valera" and
"King Carson.'
The matter came up in the'house of
commons tonight. The speaker gave
John Robert Clynes, laborite, permis
sion to move adjournment of the house
for the purpose df challenging the gov
ernmem to set the law in motion
against Sir Edward for a speech incit
ing to violence and endangering the
safety of the realm. Mr. Clynes said
there were many poor illiterate men
now in prison for saying less harmful
things than Carson has said, r It was
the government's duty to -see that th
law was equitably enforced.
Mr. Clynes described Sir Edward as
the "arch apostle of direct action."
Lord Hugh Cecil and other unionist
members condemned Carson's remarks
as indefensible.
The attorney-general. Sir Gordon
Hewart, declared that the allegation
that Sir Edward Carson's speeches in
cited to a breach of the law and vio
lence had broken down. There was
nothing in the speech in question upon
which it was possible to found legal
procecd'Tigp. ,
By a vote of Zl to 73 the house re
jected a motion by Clynes urginp the
government to prosecute Sir Edward
for his speech of incitement to violence
and breach of the law.
The debate turned on the legal point,
in which the attorney-general said he
had the concurrence of the solicitor
general. But almost all tht- speakers,
without distinction of party, condemned
the Carson speech.

CURB OF RADICALS SOUGHT
Sad Domestic Picture Painted
by Conservatives.
DON'T GO TOO FAR, IS CR,
So-Called Conservatives in Congress
foresee Dire Results If Fam
ily Manufacture Is Curbed.
WASHINGTON". July Is. Conserva
tive, members of the prohibition faction
in the house set out today to curb what
they described as radical attempts to
make the pending enforcement bill so
drastic that it might create a revul
sion of feeling: throughout the country
on the whole question of liquor drink
ing.
Warning was given by the conserva
tives that if the radical element went
too' far and added other severe restric
tions they would be certain to invite
defeat la the senate and possibly find
all of their work thrown out by a
presidential veto. The need of wise
counsel was pointed out by the con
servative prohibitionists in view of the
published announcement that Repre
sentative Morgan, republican, Okla
homa, and a member of the Judiciary
committee, had given notice that he
would endeavor to make it a violation
of law for a man to . keep a Jus; of
liquor in his own home for his own use.
Drastic? Provlsloas Opposed.
Word was spread during the day that
other prohibitionists were preparing to
write Into the bill a provision stricken
out by the committee which would pro
hibit a man's "asing" any little liquor
he might happen to have around the
house. Under the bill now before the
houee.it is extremely doubtful, a mem
ber of the Judiciary committee said to
day, whether a person could give a
drink of whisky to a friend at his
own fireside without running the risk
of arrest.
There were many informal confer
ences at v. hlch some of the drastic pro
visions of the bill, as pointed out by
Representative Pou, democrat, of North
Carolina, and a pioneer prohibitionist,
were called up like a barroom ghost to
keep the radicals from going too far.
The farmer's wife who makes a quart
of blackberry wine at home for use in
her own family, Mr. Pou said, could be
prosecuted and sent to Jail. The farm
er's home, where a little cider is made
for the family, would be a nuisance
under the law, according to Mr. Pou,
who declared that Russia In the days

' Answering the varlad Interrogations
of Attorney Killott G. Stevenson. Mr.
Ford described an Idealist as one who

General Pershing earlier In the day
was the guest of the American Lun
cheon club at the Hotel Savoy. Gen
eral Pershing was loudly cheered when
he entered the dining room. He
thanked the club for Its hospitality to
him and the American soldiers and
paid high tribute to the British for
their part in the war.
"It must have been w.th a sense of
great satisfaction." said General Per
shing, "that you Americana living In
England learned of Amerlca'a entry Into
the war. and wltii what Interest you
watched the coming of our expeditions,
the first, the naval contingent under
Vice-Adroiral Sims, who quickly rec
ognised that the difficulties demanded
an Increase of craft for destroying sub
marines and unity of command.

"I give him and the navy thanks for
their attitude toward the army, and
feel safe in saying that never before
was there such a complete unity of
action between these branches of the
service. '
"I won't undertake to tell you what
the army did. But I want you to know
that its personnel was imbued with
patriotism and devotion to the cause of
liberty and filled with r.n aggressive
determination to carry out the l!l of
our people at home. When the first
division entered the battle line and
fought a brilliant battle at Canttgny.
its success set an example for the
future of the campaign and had an
electrical effect on our allied armies,
which had been fighting for three
years, and gave them new hope.
"Peace Also Haa Victories,- He Soya,
"Then ca-me our efforts In the great
counter offensive at Chateau. Thierry
and Solssons. where, with the allies,

war. I need not recall what the Amer

fought an historically decisive battle
In the Argonne. which cut the enemy's
line and made further resistance Im
possible. "But peace has victories no 'ess than
war. Now that the end has come it is
for us to look forward to the solution
of great questions at home and abroad
While carrying on this work and pre
paring for peaceful years to come we
must insist that our late enemy fulfill

"It would do you good If you cu!d

ed. "Their fine morale and splendid
