They were Kc'logg, Minesota; Ketivon

Kellogg bus favored a league of na

yon 's attitude is considered doubtful.
Capper Is known to favor the formation
of c league, but would like certain
amendments in the present covenant
McNary is believed to be desirous of
having some kind of a league organ
ized. The president was expected to fob
low the same line of argument as he
did yesterday with Colt. Nelson and Me
Cumber, the first three republican sena
tors to rail. It was learned he did not
k them to change their opinions but
merelv kvc them "inide informa

made at Paris and certain clauses in

Controversy With Japan Over

By L. 0. Martin
Washington, July- IS. Foreign srov-
eminent! arc being sounded on their
attitude towarda the proposed Boot res
ervations to the peace treaty, in the
event rne senate should adopt one or
an of tliem, a leading administration
senator said today,
This senator, who declined ta be
quoted directly. Indicated the boliaf
that if the senate adopts reservation,
counter reservations wiH be proposed
wy ai least. tii otuer government.
The general result, he declared, would
be: i
1 Serious delay in carrying out the
peace settlemeut, flirotigh delaying fin
al ratification by sufficient number of
powers to make the treaty eftective.
2 Hampering the immeirTute and
successful launching of the league of
lint ions.
3 Reopening of questions presumed
settled by the treaty.
In other words, this senator declared,
reservation by the senate would "vi
tiate the contract" the nations have
made for restoration and maintenance
of (icace.
If, however, the: other pownrs give
assurance that-(hey- will be disposed
to accept senate reservations as niap
peil out by Boot, there would be less
objection to some of the proposals, the
senator said.
Illustrating tho probable effect of
American reservations, the annutor de
clared that a reservation slating that
the United Stntns regards immigration
us a purely domestic question, never to
come under the jurisdiction nf the lea
gue, probably would bring from Jnpao
a reservation to the effect that that
government- understand under the lea
gue equal treatment is to 'be accorded
nationals of all nations.
Senator Kellocir, Minnesota, said to
day following bis call at the white
house, that President Wikon's itulk
with him was "nlonir the name lines
us ith other senators." Kolloisif said
his opinion that certain reservations
are necessary has not boen changed.
