REPUBLICANS SAY THEY WILL FIGHT LEAGUE TO Fl NISH President Told Opposition Will : Do Its Best to Defeat Treaty ; if Changes Are Not Accepted. COMPROMISE IS SUGGESTED Anti-League Men Say They Have . Thirty-three i Votes, to Block Program of Wilson's Leaders. Bjr James It. Nourse Washington, July -19. President Wilson u bluntly told by Republic an senators Friday, that the peace treaty will be rejected by the senate unless reservations proposed by op ponents of the League of Nations and the Shantung award are ac cepted. The president was notified that he must make up his mind to agree to certain of, these reservations or wit ness the defeat of the entire treaty at -the hands of the senate. Nothing; short of ,a compromise with the opponents of the. league can save the treaty,; -the president was told, and the compromise,: if made, will be, forced ' by the opponents rather than of the resident's own makin. change's wasted BY S3 A new, poll inavi by the Republican leaders shows that, more than 33 sena tors-will vote against the treaty unless v definite statement of America's policy with respect to article 10,, the Monroe doctrine, domestio Questions and Shan- i tuiff is 'contained In the resolution of ratification. . This information was conveyed to the president by the Republican .. senators who went to the .Whiter-House In re sponse to the Invitation to discuss the - treaty and hear from the president his reasons for the treaty provisions which ' have provoked opposition In the senate. That the president was impressed with the gravity of the situation as thus pre sented to him was shown by the fact .that he at once arranged for a confer ; ence with Senator Hitchcock, the Demo- . cratio leader, and . the ranking Demo cratic, members of the foreign relations committee.- The senate had already adjourned and Senator Hitchcock had gone to his home to -prepare for a midnight journey to the golf links of Swampscott. HITCHCOCK IS PLEASED ' , .Nevertheless, the president hastened to the capltol and Senator Hitchcock postponed the packing of his luggage long enough, to go to the; president's room on the senate, floor and comer with him for nearly an hour. At the end ot the conference the president stated that the situation demanded more than any thing else "clarification of counsel," and thamanyrof the" objections "raised to ' the treaty were based upoR'misunder standings.- - Senator Hitchcock, , after " the confer ence, said that he does not believe res ervations on the league covenant are necessary. ,The conference was gratify ing to the senator In more ways than one. not the least of these being that it ' served to : restore him officially to the position of Democratic leader,, from which It- was - thought he had been dis placed x by Senator S wanaon of Vir ginia. ' ..Senator Hitchcock discussed .with. the president the Shantung decision and made the' guarded statement that -from China as well as from Japan H is ex pected statements will come which will set at rest many of the objections which have been raised In the senate to the decision. , , , t STILL STANDS FIRM '- - He declined to say whether or. not the president Intends Issuing a statement on the Shantung matter. According to Senator Hitchcock, the fight for ratification is to be waged for straight S ratification without any reservations or amendments, and after talking with the president he declared that he remains unconvinced that any changes should be made, ; 'As to' what methods the president and Democratic senators will adopt to overaome pronounced opposition . to the treaty. Senator Hitchcock declined to say. The Republicans who went to the White House .today were Charles L. Mc Nary of Oregon, William 8. Kenyon of Iowa, Arthur -Capper of i Kansas and Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota. . With the exception of McNary. all the senators intend to stand with the Republican majority in frvor of reserva tions on the treaty. Each declared for himself that the talk with the president had. made no change in" his opinion as to the necessity of these changes. afXARY WANTS LEAGUE Senator McNary has been consistently a' supporter of the League of Nations ad his vote has never been counted by the opponents of the league in any of the polls they have made. All four of the senators declined to sign the "round robin" last fall, although Kenyon, Kel logg and Sapper have been in favor of reservations.-:-'- In his talks with the senators, the president made it very clear that . he would regret exceedingly any material 'change in the treaty. : He said that re jection, of the treaty would be deplor able to the nations of Europe especially to the newly formed nations, and i that - It would be particularly unfortunate if reservations which would necessitate re- COCKROACHES t JT.

The president , suggested- that' there might be some form ot "interpretation' made which would define the standpoint of the United States. It was apparent to the senators that the ' president has an extreme dislike for. the word "res ervations' but that the term jlnterpre tative resolution", might prove acceptable to mm. - - 3 . . AGAINST INTEEPKETATION .But Senator Kenyon . made ' bold - to say in reply to this suggestion that the supreme court decided in the ' case of the' Hay-Pauncefote treaty that "Inter pretations" or 'reservations" -;are not oinaing unless tney ; are part ot the treaty Itself, - Such statements appended to the treaty, Senator Kenyon said to the president, merely express the; opin ion of the individual senator who voted for them, even though they were sup ported by the entire senate. One of the leaders is reported to have Informed the president that he had some very stubborn senators to deal with and that the majority of them would, vote In fa vor of the reservations. These senators. It was plainly, stated, would not stand for , meaningless "interpretations" and would Insist upon. making the reserva tions the condition upon which the treaty would be accepted as binding upon the United States. In other words, they want the ; reservations with a "punch" in them. ; Senator Capper ' of Kansas told the president that he had always been in sympathy with the principles of the league, but that he would be compelled to support reservations. He was par ticularly, he said, in favor of having It definitely stated by congress that con gress, and not the executive counsel of the League of Nations, should have the right to say when and where Amarican troops should be sent, as contemplated in' article X. CONGBESS KEEPS POWER '- The president ; was told by Senator Capper that sentiment against the league Is becoming stronger in Kansas and ad joining states and the Middle West. It is understood the president's answer to this suggestion was that the people out there did not understand the league. In -discussing the provisions of article 10 the president expressed 4 very strong objections to having this 'article changed cither by amendment or by reservations. The president's position, in the matter is that it was made clear at the peace conference that congress alone has the power and the right to send troops, and that the peace conference j was '- fully advised as to the provisions of the con stitution of the United : States. In this respect. To alter this article of the, covenant, the president holds, would be to signify to the other nations that the United States is going into the league only halt heartedly and not In perfect faith. For this reason the president would re gard any ; change of article 10 as ex tremely unfortunate. , Liggett to Command Western Department, Morrison Gets Lewis ' Washington; J uy 19.

The airship also should carry such heavy armament that no airplane could get close enough . to harm it. French airships already have carried and fired 3-Inch guns. 1 -. "Abroad ' they are making plans for airships which will nave a lifting power of 800 tons. That would give about 200 tons for the load.
