Eleven companies of the Indiana! militia, including two Indianapolis ! companies, will proceed to Hammond early this morning, under orders issued last night by Adjt. Gen. Smith ! on receipt of advices from Lew | Barnes, sheriff of Lake County, and iMayor Dan Brown of Hammond, that! the striking employes of the Stand- ! ard Steel Cui Company had rejected ■ all proposals looking to the settleqn nt of the controversy and were in a mood that promised serious trouble j unless state troops were on hand. The first appeal for troops came ■ from Sheriff Barnes, who told Adjt. I Gen. Smith over the long distance telephone of the situation existing in Haiiiindnd ;.nd ud that a joint telegram from Mayor Brown and himself, asking that the troops be ordered out, i was on the way. The telephone call I was receivd at about 8 o'clock and the legram an hour later. The eleven eompanie- i-r Vred to

of reservations so embodied would have to be sent to all the nations signatory to the treaty for their approval. There is now general agreement that if the ratification resolution should make anv textual changes in the treaty the document would have to go hack to the peace conference. Apparently their is no longer any serious intention on the part of Senators who do not like the league of nations to insist on textual changes, so the vital question to be determined is whether such reservations as are agreed on shall be made a part of the resolution of ratification or shall he set out in an independent resolution as an expression of the Senate's opin-
ion.
Position of Committee. The committee on foreign relations will favor putting the reservations in the resolution of ratification. It will then be fro the Senate a- a whole to deelflo wbn* to ' done. It is evident that there m> t be a good Heal of yielding if the t: 'tay is to be disposed of within r. re ?iinal)le period of time. Of the nim men v' >! occupy seats in the Senate, at least thirty-eight, it is asserted, are unwilling to vote to ratify the treaty unless reservations approaching the sort they desire are embodied in the resolution of ratification. The Democrats as a whole will follow the President in insisting that the reservations shall be taken care of in a separate resolution if he insists on that course, but it is well unders f aod
