FAL, 1S BELIEF Disposition of League of Nations and Treaty Expected within Two Months at Least, Says Barrow (By F. H. BARROW.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Indica- tions are that the senate m: ii of the League of Nations next six or eight weeks—possibly sooner—and that as a result congress may enjoy a brief recess before start- ing in on the regular December ses- sion. While the senate is expected to ra- tify the League of Nations, this does} not mean—as administration press agents will acclaim—that the “presi- dent’s will has prevailed over the sen- ate” by a long shot. It is certain that if the senate does ratify the treaty it will be after the articles in controversy have been clarified and ample’reservations made, By the time the senate gets thru, with the league plan, the document Mr. Wilson bret over from Paris will look about as much like the finished product as the original fourteen points resemble the final draft of the Versailles meet- ing. \ It will be remembered that on, his return from abroad the president staied the league plan must be ac- cepted just as it was—without amend- ment, clarification or r Shortly afteryard his frieng Taft de- serted this lagt-ditch stand and de- clared for reservation and Clarifica- tion. Soon afterward it was rumor- ed that the president “might con- sent to a few reservations” if,it was found absolutely necessary to do so jj in order to get the senate to act— and from that time forward the teb- boggan has. kept going. Sentiment in favor of amendment continues to grow, and around the capitol teday }, there is no question as to the seén- ate’s attitude in- this respect. Just hew far the senators will go cannot he determined, but the growth of ex- Is pressed sentiment against the league indicates that the longer final aetion is put off the greater will be the! changes. There has never at any time beéh a question as to a majority of the péo- ple of this country favoring a leagué of nations, or any kind of an agree- ment between the nations, that would be likely to aid in keeping the world’s peace. When the league was first talked of, most everybody. was fot it because we were sick of war and wa- comed anything promising insurance against its récurrence.’ But ‘as the details of the league became known, opposition to: many of its provisions increased. This opposition has now reached the: point where°it may be Hrophesied with safety “that the sun- dte ‘will not\ratify a leagde binding | us) to protect -by force of; arms the }#u: territorial claims of every other mem- Wer of the fleague, tor--that would free our,-boys. across: the. ocean. to Sight peoples ‘akainst whom ‘they have Ho extnith -jiistjbpcause somebody else id, Gr ‘thiit’ will embroil;us in the egenerate ‘Woities,.of the: old world. * The Nittiatration (press bureau Will loudhy *Rodlaim “another victory} GONGRESS MAT GET RECESS IN reservation. |” = a s ¢ ted Press.)

He was forced tp deposit a heavy bond for his re- lease pending a hearing of the charges against him. He said these were only trumped up against him since he had them investigated by a civil court and his claims upheld. On his trip thru the north, dur- ing which he was away more than a month and covered more than 2200 imiles in his automobile, the Ameri- ean said he found conditions very chactic. He said commanders of fed- era} forces were making forced loans and seizing property.
