Quoted, The resolution of ratification of the German treaty with the reaerva tion as finally evolved, provides: "Resolved (two-thirds) of the sena tors present concurring therein), the senate advise and consent to the rati fication of the treaty between the United States and Germany, algned at Berlin August 25. 1921, to restore the friendly relations existing be tween the two nations prior to the outbreak of the war, subject to the understanding which is hereby made a part of this resolution of ratifica tion, that the United States shall not be represented or participate In any body, agency, or commission, nor shall any person represent the United States as a member of any body, agency or commission in which the United Statea Is authorised to parti cipate by this treaty unless and until an act of congress of the United States shall provide for such repre sentation or participation." Senator Johnson Insisted that the reservation should Include "partici pation" as well as representation. Other RrsolutloDs Similar, The resolutions of ratification and reservations as adopted for the Aus trian and Hungarian treaties were similar. The Pomerene reservation was to article I of the German treaty, re lating to protection of American property rights as provided In the Knox peace resolution, and declared that "the words United Statea shall be construed to Include the United States and Its nationals." This reservation also accompanies the Austrian and Hungarian pacts. Senator Borah Indicated that be would carry his fight against ratifi cation to the senate floor, where de bate Is expected to begin within a fe days. The committee voted to have the treaties considered In open session. It was made known odlciaPy that President Harding's administration would raise no objection to ratifica tion of the treaty with Germany with a reservation providing thar there could be no American participation In the foreign bodies provided under the Versailles agreement without ex pressed authorization by congress.

"Grace and Hlldred Hanan were In separable companions.. There was not the slightest Iota of Jealousy be tween them. Grace was not in love with John S. Borland.
