COMMERCIAL GERMANY LOOKING TOWARD MEXICO Coblenz, July 25 (Correspondence of The Associated Press).—The eyes of the commercial world of Germany are directed toward Mexico. according to German newspapers of recent date.

This interpretation of _the presi- dent's expectations was expressed by Senator Spencer, republican. Missourl, after a long talk with Mr. Wilson to- clined to go into details as to the ex- act stens*hain~ foken. Senator Spencer alwe discussed length With e prowent the sub- ject of reservations in senate rati- cation of ‘the treaty, taking with him to the White House a draft of five reservations drawn up and submitted to the president, it is understood, at the suggestion of Chatrman Lodge, of the foreign relatiéns committee. Mr. Spencer made it clear in presenting them, howavor thet ha aline 8tood sponsor for their phraseology. The reservations covered the Mon- roe Ooctrine, withdrawal, Shantung, national determination of domestic is- sues and independence of action under article ten. Mr. Spencer told the president that without some such gualifications the treaty never could be ratified. while if they were includ- ed ratification would come quickly. He said Mr. Wilson promised to give the proposed reservations-his earnest con- sideration and conveyed the impros- sion that he personally was not op- Dosed to such.n course except for {h complications that might result should the treaty. be returned for re-nego- tiation. - Notlce also was taken at the Whita House during the day of senatc dls- cussion of the defensive treatv with France, which Senator Lodge and oih- ers have charged that the president is withholding from the senate in di- rect violation of the - treaty's own terms. The president plans, it was stated, to present the French treaty after his tour of the country, waich ‘wili not begin until about August 10 and may continue for several wacks. Before he went to the White House Senator Spencer put into the senate record a copy of the plea regarding Shantung made at the Versailles con- ference by the Chinese delegations, revealing among other things that China considered Japan's promises to restore Kiaochow as “illusory,” be- cause they made no provision for re- turn also of the adjacent. territory lominating it. The reservations submitted by Sen- ator. Spencer would provide: oot e n_and enforceme , ter. mined solely by the country in which they arise™ = - 2 That the United 'States “cannot bind itself in advance” to make war “without the express authorization of congress at the time.” - That the right of a nation.to with- draw “includes the right to ‘determine for itself” whether it has. fulfilled its obligations as provided in ‘the cove- nant. * That the Shantung @ settlement is viewed with “deep regret;-as. “disre- Zardful” of the rights and desires of inhabitants of the peninsula, “unjust’ to China and “threatening” to future peace. The subject of reservations also continued under discussion today at conferences of the pro-league republi- cans, and the legal effect of any qual- ifications adopted was debated at lensth in the senate. Senator Pitt- man, Nevada, a democratic member of the foreign relations committee, ar- gued that any reservation or interpre- tions, though considered inocuous by the senate, would result in re-submis- sion of the treaty to all the other pow- ers and open up a dangerous field of possibilities. Senator Borah, republi- can, Idaho, expressed a similar view as to the legal effect, and = said he hoped he would have the opportunity to vote against the treaty as a whole. The senate and. its foreign relations gommittee both adjourned until Mon- ay. 3 CEDED TO POLAND THROUGH MISTAKEN BOOK Berlin, July 25.—(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—The Boer- sen Zeitung asserts that West Prus- sia was ceded to Poland by the peace conference because of “a mis and incorrect scientific book publish- ed in 1917 by the American Geograph- ical Society containing an article en- titled ‘the boundaries of language and nationality,’ by Leon Dominitan.” The German newspaper avers that President Wilson was influenced by the “innocently false information of this article” which, it says, declared that Dantswig was ten per cent. Pol- ish and that the present Polish cor- ridor and neighboring East Prussia ‘was purely Polish. SWisS HELP TRANSPORT THOUSANDS OF WOUNDED Berne, July 25.—(By The A.
