Simmons, North Carolina,
1 Makes Formal Statement
Held Important
WASHINGTON. 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."
Article 10 Is Stickle
Republican senators continued ef
forts to compose differences over a
reservation to Article ten of the
league covenant. Senators McCum-
ber. North Dakota; Kellogg, Minne
sota, and Lenroot. Wisconsin, were
- said to have drafted sub-reservations
which were discussed privately today.
Senator Poinexter. Republics
Washington, in a two-hours' aildress
ta the senate today; replied to .ate
ments of President .Wilson in his
speech-making tour. Several Repub
lican senators made arrangements
for speeches In several western cities
In reply to the president, while Sen
ator Harding. Ohio, and others pre
pared to reply to Mr. Wilson from the
senate floor.
President's ChaIIengs Answered.
Referring to the president's chal
lenge to league opponents to "put
up or shut up," Senator Poind exter
said the substitute for the league of
fered by its opponents was the dec
laration of independence and Lin
coln's government 'by and for the
people."
al reply to the president's declara
tion that the league would end use
v of American soldiers abroad, Mr.
Poindexter called attention to the
sending of American troops to Siberia
aad the reported plans to send others
to Silesia and Armenia.
Statement Deemed Concession.
"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.

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

and S. H. Cobb.

senator to keep hands off, "that

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."

Has Already Lifted

WAR HELD DELIBERATE
PLANNING OF GERMANY
Treaty and League Claimed
to Be Great Boon for
Laboring Man
SIOUX FALLS. 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.
