Sept. 8.--Marked Indications of a compromise in the senate controversy over reservations to the league of nations covenant came today from both Democratic and Republican sources, after Repub lican Leader Lodge had announced that the treaty would be reported to the senate Wednesday aim prob tbly be taken up for consideration next Monday. Probably the mots important de velopment of the day was a state ment to the senat by Senator Sim mons of North Carolina, prominent in administration leadership, declar ing "some concessions in the way of reservations will have to be made to secure its ratification." Alothough utterly" opposing some of the Lodge reservations. Senator Simmons said he was uggesting a compromise on "conservative reservations of an ; Interpretative character."

"With interest centered in the res ervation controversy considerable sis nificance was attached by senators to Senator Simmons' f o: mal state ment, although he disclaimed pri vately that he spoke for the presi dent. He explained that he gave on ly his personal view of the senate sit uation and this explanation was sup ported by Senator Hitchcock who - said that President Wilson's position on reservation, even of a "mild va 1 rtety. had not yet been made known Republican leaders, however, hailed Senator Simmons' statement as a frank concession that the treaty cau not be ratified without reservations.

WEST SAYS HE HAD TWO SPRUCE HEADS REMOVED Former Governor on Stand Tells of Passing of Long and Hawkins CONNECTIONS ARE CAUSE Ryan Said to Have Washed Hands of Road Building Operations PORTCAND, Or.. Sept. 8. Full responsibility for bringing about-the removal j from membership on the spruce production board of George S. Long; of Tacoma and Russell Hawkins of Portland, was assumed today by Oswald West, former gover nor of Oregon, in his testimony be fore the congressonal spruce probe committee here. Mr. Long said Mr. West was sec retary of the Weyerhanser Lumber company. Hawkins, he said, was en gaged in the lumber business. With out reflecting on the personal integ rity, he held the belief that their close connection with large timber interests would not be conducive to a proper administration of spruce production. Confers tith linker During the visit to Washington solely on his own initiative, be had advocated the removal of Long and Hawkins, at conferences with Sec retary Baker and with the aircraft board. ' In talking with Secretary Baker he had been told that the spruce program appeared to place too much individual power in the hands of Colonel Disque and to name men eli gible for posts as advisers to Disnue. . Amonr his recommenda tions were the names of Amos Ben .1 son. James Bremner, and S. H. Cobb. R. B. In man Cliambeiiain Warned - - Senator Chamberlain had at tnait. time received a message from J. C- Ainsworth of Portland referring to the possibility of Russell Hawkins receiving a commission. The wit ness said that he had advised the senator to keep hands off, "that there were breakers apead." Snbseiuently he had told Secre tary Baker, of Mr. Hawkins con nections with the Whitney Lumber company. The latter had agreed with him that Hawkins head must fall becaiise it was "difficult for a man to serve two masters."

S. D.. Sept. 8. Declaring that pro-Germanism had again lifted its head In this country. President Wilson declared in an ad dress here tonight that "every ele ment of chaos" was hoping there would be "no steadying hand" placed on the world's affairs. Although it was raining when the president's train arrived the down town streets were lined with crowds and a wave of cheering followed the president on his way to the coliseum. A shriners band led the parade. Gov ernor. Peter Norbeck. a Republican, presided at the meeting. Mrs. Wil. son. who sat on the stage, was pre sented with some roses by two little girls, who walked across the stage to her place, while the crowd, which packed the hall, cheered. Mrs. Wil son thanked the girls with a kiss and there were more cheers.. , Sacrifice Brough Home. The president opened his address by relating how a lady who shook hands with him at a way stop today had 'burst into tears when she tried to tell him of her son killed in France. This Incident, said Mr. Wilson, brought home to him that the coun. try had sacrificed greatly, not for a temporary advantage but for a per manent betterment of the world. In the eyes of the American boys who went across the seas, he continued, the people of Europe had seen a de termination not only to defeat Ger many, but to see that such a thing never happened again. The president declared that the war was "no sudden outburst" but the deliberate plan of Germany con ceived years before. Cooling Off Time Provided. Germany did not dare discuss her course for 2 4 Hours, he said, and so the treaty had been framed so that no future war could occur with out at least six months of discussion. In the "cooling off" process, said Mr. Wilson, it was certain that much of the passion that starts war would be eradicated. "I want to tell you," said the pres ident, "that within the last two weeks the pro-German element in the United States again has lifted its head." "This element saw a chance, he said, by keeping their nation out of the league of nations, to make pos sible again that Germany had tried to do in the great war. It was a clean cut issue, Mr. Wilson declared, be tween this new order or the old Ger man order. Trea'y Is For laboring Man. I T1m1 a n r th iwarp trntv nrnvls- " . . . . . ence would give labor a new bill of rights the president declared the treaty was "a laboring man's treaty" in the sense that it was a treaty drawn up for the benefit of the com mon people. The political settlements them, selves, said the president, were made for the peoples concerned. He as serted that the document laid down forever the principle that no terri tory ever should be governed except as the people who lived there waited it governed. "That is an absolute reversal of history." said the president, "and it is all in the league of nations." Kxtravagance Foreseen. High taxes, a large standing army and a "military government in spir. it." would be required, he said, if the United Stales were tofollow the advice of some men "and stand by herself." Asking his hearers to suppose for n moment that the land titles of South Dakota were to be upset and every farm line moved ten feet, Mr. Wilson said that was somewhat like happened in Europe and a central authority was to establish conditions and prevent strife. "Your choice. ' said Mr. Hson "is between the league of nations and Germanism. I have told you what I mean by Germanism having a chip on vour shoulders." When the president added that sometime he had bn "called an idealist" some one shouted "good" and the crowd cheered. Discussion Is Hoped. The "certain way" to have trou ble between capital and labor, said the president, waa for them to re fuse to discuss their differences. He said he could not understand how a man could refuse to discuss his case unless he was wrong. The same rule, he declared, applied to differences be tween nations. 4mcrlca ond stay out of the (Continued on page 2) 1 SSSSSSSSJSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSBSSSSSS1 SiiiiiMSSSSSSSSSSSSSStSSSSSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSStStSS' !
