ARTICLE TEN RESERVATION IS MODIFIED

Republican Senators Consent

to Changes in Contended

Keservation, President Keit erates Firm Stand.

SEES WORLD IN ARMS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 9 A modified draft of the Republican Article 10 reservation to the Peace treaty, is understood to have been assented to today by a number of Republican leaders, working with the Democrats for a ratification compromise. The new reservation was said to follow in general outline, the original Republican proposal, adopted last November, but to contain a certain number of changes in wording agreed to at the suggestion of the Democrats. Republican senators who worked out fhe modifications In the compromise negotiations, ceemed confident that the new reservations would have the approval of Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, and even expressed hope that he might himself offer it in the senate. It is understood however, that the Democratic leader, Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, has not given his assent to it. Democrats Wait to Act. Democratic senators were slow in promising thier support, while they weighed the meaning of tho letter written to Senator Hitchcock yesterday by President Wilson, reiterating his opposition to any reservation which would impair the full forco of Article X. President Wilson's letter to Sen

ator Hitchcock, outlining anew his stand on reservations to the peace

treaty, gave a new angle today to the ratification fight in the senate, where debate has been limited by unanimous

consent in an effort to hurry a de

rision.

Although the president did not say what reservations he would accept or

reject, he declared that almost all the qualifications suggested were in effect "virtual nullifications" of the pact. To weaken Article 10, of the League of Nations covenant, he said, would be to cut the "very heart" from it While there was no objection to stating the constitutional methods by which obligations under Article 10 would have to be fulfilled, the president continued, it was mere supererogation to do so, inasmuch as all the great powers recognized in framing the treaty that it was subject in execution, to the constitutional safeguards imposed by each country. Fears Military Ambition. Especial interest was evidenced by , 7 senators in that part of the letter dealing with militaristic ambitions of other great powers. The president declared that the military party of France was in control of the government there and that "imperialistic policies were by no means dead in the councils of the nations whom we most trust." Without Article 10, he said, there could be no certainty of renunciation of plans for territorial aggrandizement at the expense of weaker peoples, whereas under it, the old pretensions of political conquest will be abandoned. The president mentioned specifically in this- connection that Great Britain and Japan before the war had begun to find many interests in common in the Pacific. Four more Republican reservations were adopted yesterday, two without change, and negotiations for an acceptable compromise on the Article 10 reservation were continued.

that members of the house ways and means committee were "endeavoring to kill bonus legislation by delay," were made today by Chairman Fordney, when the committee resumed hearings on soldier relief legislation.

Conncilmen Divided on Light Co. Bond Issne Divided opinion was expressed by six city councilmen Tuesday in regard to the proposed $200,000 bond issue to purchase new machinery for the city light plant. Four, J. E. Thatcher, Matt Von Pein, Frank Waidele and Oscar Williams, said they did not know enough about the matter to decide. Williams, however, said he thought the recommendation would be passed. George C. Schwegman said that if the proposition was proved necessary he would favor it. Councilman Walterman opposed a bond issue for $200,000 saying "that alter consultation with several electrical engineers I

tJiink the amount asked by Superin

tendent Dillon is much too large. Of course I am in favor of more efficiency for the light plant but not to the extreme asked by Dillon." Walterman said that he thought a 3,000 K.

NAVY DELAY HELD PEACE BACK--SIL1S Admiral Says Months of Unnecessary Struggle Were Caused by Unpreparedness of Sea Forces. T DOESNTlOVE ENGLISH

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 9 Rear Admiral Sims today told the senate committee investigating the navy's conduct of the war that the failure of the navy department to act promptly on recommendations, and to place the country's entire naval resources at the disposal of the allies within six months after the United States entered the war, prolonged the struggle for at least four months. He added that it also, unnecessarily, jeopardized the outcome. Declaring that 3.000 lives were lost and $100,000,000 spent every day of the war, the admiral said the conclusion from his statements were obvious. Admiral Sims, said his criticisms were directed at the navy's work in 1917, and "had nothing to do with the magnificent way the navy functioned m 1918, after it really got into the war." "Machinery Was Insufficient" The navy, he said, was not properly prepared in April, 1917, and the administrative machinery was cumbersome and insufficient. He denied that his statements constituted "an attack" on any one and characterized as ridiculous" statements that he was attacking civilian control of the navy department, which, he said "was essential." "I am at the end of my career and rave nothing to gain and all to lose," saad Admiral Sims. The Admiral vigorously attacked what he characterized as 'effort to convict me of divided allegiance." and of being "pro-British." saying that he

'If they did not want a man who was pro-British and pro-French to sit in the councils of the Allies, why did not they send a pro-German with a trunk full of bombs?" asked the Admiral. Declaring that he was "sorely embarrassed, by reason of lack of confidence and co-operation from the navy department, during the most trying days of the war," Admiral Sims said he repeatedly asked the department to relieve him if he had lost its

connaence.

The admiral was the first witness at

MINERS MAY BALK

ON WAGE FINDINGS, OFFICIALS ANNOUNCE

(Py Associated Prs) INDIANAPOLIS. March 9. Th

United Mine Workers of America will refuse to accept the findings of the bituminous -,al commission unless a substantial increase in wages and im

proved working conditions are provided, it was inferred in a statement issued today from headquarters of the organization. Officials of the mine workers were absent from the city and those in charge of the offices refused to comment on the statement. "Nothing 6hort of a substantial increase in wages and improved working conditions will be acceptable to the United Mine Workers of America," the statement says. "The miners are awaiting the decision with much anxiety. We believe the public will understand our position." Must Have Full Justice. Unless a settlement of the controversy is made on such a basis, tho statement says, the miners will not feel "that full justice has been done them." The bituminous coal commission was appointed by President Wilson to work out a suitable wag-i scala for the miners and report on any plans for improving living conditions, after the strike of miners had ended. "There has been a steady Increase in the cost of living since the first of the year," reads tho statement, "in spite of the fact that the government represented to labor lrat summer that living costs would be reduced and that the government would see that this was done. Further promises o reduction In the cost of living would fall on deaf ears, as far as the coal miners are concerned, because they have had their experiences with such promises in the past, all of which have gone unfilled."
