SpxM Despatch to Tun Scs. Wuiiihoton, Nov. 7. The preamble to the reservations In tho peaco treaty ratification resolution was adopted by the Senate to-d- by tho vote of 48 to 19. It was a 8tralghtout victory for the bloc Only\ one Republican Senator, McCumber (N. D.) voted In the negative. The preamble Is one of the most ob jectionable of all reservations to tho treaty from the standpoint of the Ad- ministration,' but it nevertheless re ceived the votes of all the Republicans and three Democrats doro (Oklo.), Reed (Mo.) and Walsh (Mass.). The language of the preamble follows: The reservations and unders- tandings adopted by the Senate ire to be made a part and condition of the resolution of ratification, which ratification Is not to take ef- fect or bind the United States until the said reservations and under-rtandln- gs adopted by the Senate have been accepted by an exchange of notes as a part and condition of said resolution of ratiflcaUon by at taut three of the four principal Allied and Associated Powers; to-i- t: Great Britain, France, Italy ind Japan. When the Senate session opened the prtamblo to the reservations was at tl fore. An amendment had been tiered by Senator McCumber (N. D.) to strike out the requirement that tiree Powers afflrmaUvely must ac- cept the American reservations. Senator Robinson (Ark.) and Senator licCumber spoke for tho amendment mi Senator Smith (Ga.) followed in tit tame tenor. He declared In favor of several of the committee reservations, specially insisting that Congress must determine whether mandatories shall be accepted.

BARS DESTROYING LEAGUE President Insistent Only on Preserving Status of Ali-an- co With Other Nations. Special DetpatcH to Tni Sox. Washington, Nov. 7. The Senate received y Its first vrord from President Wilson regarding treaty matters since he.wos taken 111. It was carried by Senator Hitchcock (Neb.), DemocraUc leader, who spent a half hour at the Whlto IIoubo late In the afternoon. Immediately on his return to tho Capitol he summoned tho news- paper men and gave them a state- ment of the results of his lntorviow which eerved to clarify some phases of the Administration's policy and to add to the mystery enshrouding others. That the Administration has reached the point where It is prepared to ac- cept and raUfy the treaty whatover reservations tho Senate may impose was tho commonest interpretation of what Senator Hitchcock reported. This, however, was only an Inference from what he said. That the President bestowed general and entire approval on the manage- ment of the treaty fight by tho Dem- ocratic Senators and was quite willing to leave Its' further conduct In their hands and to their judgment was the first statement. Beyond that the President was represented as willing,' if necessary, to accept InterpretaUve reservations, provided they were not \destructive\ In their character. But as to what ultimately would be held to be destructive Mr. Hitchcock was not very committal. He was asked if the committee reservation to Article X. was to be so regarded. That reser- vation is the precise one that the Presi- dent announced at Salt Lake and other places during his speaking trip with the exception that a transposition of one phrase was afterward made by the com- mittee. This change was regarded as at least unimportant, probably without any effect whatever and certainly not highly significant. Nevertheless Mr. Hitchcock, while saying the reservation was \obnoxious\ In its present form. In- sisted that It was decidedly less than In the form in which the President had denounced 1L Slay Accept All Reservations. This manifestation of willingness to Insist that an Important change had been made In the meaning of the 'res- ervation was taken to signify that the Administration is getting ready to ac- cept even the ono reservation which it formerly held to be utterly impossible. In other words, the denunciation and threat not to deposit a ratification if It were adopted Is more than ever re- garded as a bluff In view of Senator Hitchcock's statement. The reserva- tion Is now certain to be adopted. Seemingly the Administration- - Is pre- paring to discover that after nil it Is not bad enough to Justify rejection of the treaty. In Republican circles much sig nificance was attached to what Mr. Hitchcock said on this point. If after his denunciations of thta reservation the President Is now willing to have it explained and accepted then It Is pre-- ! sumed that he is willing to accept every- -' tning else in tne reservations u no munu Of course he and his following will fight to the end to tone down the res- ervations, but If they fall, It Is believed they will decide to accept the treaty wlttf the reservations. The unimportance of the change which served so greatly to mollify Administra tion objections to this reservation Is em- phasized by the explanation of the change which becamo current this after- noon. It Is said that former President1 Taft suggested the change, a transposi tion of '.the words 'under the provisions of Article X.\ His reason for making the change. It Is explained, was that hi believed It would strengthen tne inde- pendence of the American position by rivlnar Congress authority to decide not only regarding employment of military or'naval forces, but also regarding utili sation of the boycott And this is ac- cepted by the Administration now as making the provision less objectionable than before. \It they are getting ready to swallow that reservation, they are going to swallow tho whole programme,\ was the opinion of' most ot the treaty's oppo- nents. t Hitchcock's White Ilonse Visit. Senator Hitchcock's report of his White House experience was of the greatest Interest to all elements at the Capitol. He found the President propped up In bed. half sitting, half lying against a straight backed chair upturned on his bed. He wore the aame ancient gray I. 1 1 LEAGUE FAILS TO F1CTI0H-1WJTU.- S.

Discussion by the Allies In tho Supremo Council of tho Peace Conference y, with Amer- ica participaUng only in an advisory capacity, of tho action, to bo taken at tho first meeting of the council of the League of Nations hero developed two things. First, a tendency to have this first mecUng conflno Itself merely to the appointment of tho dcllmltaUon com- mission for tho Soar coal basin. Secondly, this attitudo In the Su- premo Council tends to confirm the opinion expressed frequenUy In these despatches that the United States can come Into tho League of Nations on Its own terms and there Is llttlo doubt that Its reservaUons to the treaty vIll bo accepted. In the discussion It was proposed to postpone to a second meeting of the Council the appointment of the govern- ing commission of the Saar Basin, as well as virtually all other matters, In- cluding even making permanent the tem- porary secretariat of the league. The second meeting of the Council un- der this' plan would be called as soon as the United StateB had ratified tho treaty, and the reservations accompanying Its ratification had been passed upon by the other Powers. Apparently strong pressure has been brought to bear here by Under Secretary Polk, head of the American delegation, as the representative of President Wil- son in favor of thlB plan, under Wftlch the first meeting would not be even an organisation meeting, all that business being left to the second meeting. In which the United States Is expected to participate. In other words, so far as regards any real functioning there would be no League of Nations until this second meeting, the first meeting confining It- self to one specific action, which the treaty requires shall be taken within fifteen days, namely, the appointment of three commissioners to act with one named by France and one by Germany, to establish the boundaries of the Saar district. Regarding the appointment of the Ave commissioners who will form the Gov- ernment of tho Saar region, the peace treaty prescribes no time limit The Saar now Is under the military Govern- ment of Franco, and this will contlnuo until the governing commission Is named at a later meeting of the Council of the League of Nations. Discussion this morning of the League of Nations took up a large part of the session. It amounted almost to a con- fession by the Allies that the League of Nations could not operate without the United States, as had been expected, even to the extent of making permanent the temporary secretariat, which means that the various sections Included In the organization plan cannot begin function- ing. That the Allies regard the membership of America In the league ns essential to its operation at all Is shown in this de- cision, because all five Powers except the United States have ratified now and will participate In tho first council meeting. As America is absent the four Powers virtually agreed y that they could not start the league In any real way, GERMAN OPERA TO BE HEARD IN PARIS SOON Music Lovers Vote for Wag ner in Week's Balloting.

HUGE LOAN FOR EUROPE URGED British Treasury Official Says .$8,000,000,000 Is deeded in Next 12 Months. LEAGUE TO BACK ISSUE Sir George Paish Wants U. S. Inormcd of Peril Britain Ready to Help.

Sir George Paish of tho BrlUsh Treasury believes Amer ica should bo fully Informed as to tno chnos orevalllng In Europo y and the processes and remedies thnt have been recognlxea nere tor months as Indispensable. According to Sir George the greatest extsUng evil It, tho enormous amount or paper monev. which must be reduced if .Europo Is to be saved irom. .bank ruptcy. Tho public has heard a loi about paper money, but It Is only now hat the leadlnsr bankers of both con tinents seem to have reached a unanlm-- , lty of opinion as to how the remedies should be applied. Sir George asserts that France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Ru- mania, Serbia, Jugo-Slavi- a and prob- ably Russia must have $8,000,000,000 cf credit In tho next twelve months to overcome the paper money Issues. It Is beyond the power of any ono nation to provide this amount, he says. so a great International loan must fol- - Innr ITn nrnnnses that tho League of Nations Issue a security which the nations could accept at its race vaiue, recognizing it as a loan taking prece- dence over national debts. He declares that Great Britain not only Is able but Is willing to do her share, ana con- tinues: Ilritnln Fnylnft Its Way. \How Is It that the British sovereign li,. fnllon tn n fllxnount of 11 DOT Cent.? Of course there is not even a vestige of truth in tne laea tnai ureal urunin is bankrupt; tho position of England still U vrv trans'! the British Deonle still possess a vast quantity of foreign and colonial securities, isven wnen allow ance Is made for the sums borrowed from America and other countries, Eng- land on balance probably still owns 115.000.000.000 of foreign and colonial securlttea \Moreover If we examine tho coun- try's trade balance wo find that we still in Tinvln nur wav. or nearly so. be- - nnA no Mill nra deriving a lareo In come from foreign investments and are gaining a erllll greater income irom our shipping; proDaDiy uie jncume irom shlDDlmr this year will be more than 2.- - 000,000,000. When allowance la made for this Invisible income it is oovious that tho country nominally Is paying Its way. \The discount on the sovereign arises from selling large quantities of goods t ..nntrU. that cannot uav and from hnvlnir rmnntlttea Of ffOodB for Which We cannot pay becauso we cannot collect the debt ' aue us rrom nanonu 10 wmcu we sell. The first half of this year we sold 11,000,000.000 wortn 01 goous 10 countries above the amount of goods for which they were able to pay. So the u that nreat Britain is rendering service to the continent to the extent of $2,000,000,000 for wnicn sne cannot get paid In British uioney.\ Debt Offset by Money Due. Sir George showed that Great Britain had bought about $1,0 0 0,0 0 0,000 worth nnAm rrnm AmripiL In the flrst half U. ft \ of the year, for which she was unable to pay In American money, out wnicn was more than offset by debtn owed to her that she could not collect In British money for goods sold In the flrst half of the year on the continent. He recog- nises the necessity for continuing these sales on .the contlncn. not only from the business viewpoint! to hold future mar- kets, but for the more serious reason of keeping Europe solvent. There Is no doubt that Sir George Paish makes out a logical argument for such an International loan ,as was pro- posed In America mahy months ago, for if the continent must bay or starve, and England must collect from the continent In order to pay America or starve. It la evident that the continent must collect from some one and no one Ves the con. tlnent anything. What Is the situation In France V asks Sir George. \Our allies have been most seriously and grievously Injured by tho war. Agricultural and Industrial Continued offtIttPaffU Z $ U. S.

Lewis, acting president of the United 3IIno Workers, In Indianapolis. The Attorney-Genera- l and Mr. Gompers were both silent as to the progress made In the conference. It Is known, however, that definite peace proposals were made and that they are viewed with favor by the Attorney-Genera- l, who has no disposition to press the fight If the strike, which 18 held il- legal, Is called off. Mr. Palmer was In consultation with both sides In the co&trovcrsy, and though, after the Cabinet meet- ing It was made known that tho Government Intended to stand pat and to press for tho Issuance of a permanent mandatory injunction that would compel leaders of the mine workers to call off tho strike or accept the consequences. Negotia- tions later In the day put n different aspect unon the situation. Final Proposal by Gompers. Mr. Gompers's final proposal for settlement was not made public Upon leaving the Attorney-General- 's offlco ht with Frank Morrison, secre- tary of the American Federation of Labor, and Matthew Woll, nt of tho federation, his only com- ment was, \You will have to see tho General.\ Attorney-Gener- al Palmer declined to make any statement. It Is understood, however, that the negotiations hinged upon a calling off of tho strike and of tho Injunction proceedings at the same tlmo and the throwing of tho entire controversy Into negoUatlon for settlement by the minnm nnA the nneratora or bv a dis interested tribunal, or tho postpone ment of court proceeaings in inamn-apol- ls to give further op- portunity for negotiations and the call- ing off of tho strike as a voluntarj measure.

There is bitumin- ous coal enough In Greater Boston to last two months If no more should be received, according to investigation made this week by the Chamber of Commerce. A small quantity of coal that was on the rails is coming to Boston dally. Tho Commission on Necessities of Life, headed by James J. Storrow, has taken chargo of tho situation and has jurisdiction over all distribution of both soft coal and anthracite. Of tho latter no purchaser Is allowed to have more than ono week's supply. Use of anthracito for industrial pur- poses Is prohibited. A codo of newly formed rules has been sent to all dealers with, the warning that viola- tions will bo causo for punishment.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1, Tho Govern- ment has temporarily cut the red tape methods which have been enforced since the miners' strike. With the exception of big manufac- turers who order in carload lots, the con- dition Is virtually the same as before the strike. This condition may last for sev- eral days, and those who want soft coal may now obtain It without the nocos-sar- y permit The only consumers re- quired to have a permit aro the manu- facturers. The temporary suspension of the Gov- ernment's ruling is due to the fact that thousands of cars of coal are now lined up on many of the railroads, and the Government has decided to release this In order to lessen the congestion. 3,000 Cars In Cleveland.

' INSPECTOR HENRY HISSED Ho Assorts Placards Provided for Paid Tickets Con- trary to Law. After the armory of tho First Field Hospital, Now York Guard, at Slxty-slxt- h street had been packed last nl;lt with a crowd eager to see a boxing en- tertainment which was to be staged In connection with tho third Red Cross rollcall Police Inspector Domlntck Henry stopped the bouts by threaten- ing to arrest any man who appeared with gloves In the arena. No admis- sion foe was charged, but twelve Red Cross nurses, most of whom had stcn service In France, were to pass through the armory selling tlckots which en- titled tho purchaser to from ono to threo years Red Cross membership. Inspector Henry announced that he would arrest any nurse who sold a ticket The police official was booed and hissed when Ben Rosenthal, the announcer, told the crowd that the bouts had been prohibited. The hissing Increased when ho called attention to the fact that' boxing matches are permitted all over the State, although In most instances they are not given for a charity but for the financial benefit of private pro- moters. Rosenthal said that numerous boxing entertainments which had netted thousands of dollars had been given In tho armory for the Red Cross In tho past and that never beforo had tho police attempted to Interfere. Major J. Franklin Dunseith, who was In chargo of the programme, wan cheered when he stepped forward and announced that he would stage boxing bouts for the Red Cross there next Tuesday night \I assure you that they will posi- tively tako placo under the protection of a Supreme Court Injunction,\ Major Dunseith said. After a wrestling bout between Young Muldoon and Al Warner, which was viewed with but languid Interest, the eve- ning's programme was declared ended by police insistence and the crowd filed out. Last night's entertainment wns widely advertlJtd and Invitations had been sent Lieut-Ge- Robert Bullard, commanding the Department of the East; Major-Ge- n. John Y. O'Ryan, commanding the New Tork Guard, and Brlg.-Ge- n. George it Dyer, In command of the First Bri- gade. The main bout was to have been between Paddy Burns, lightweight cham- pion of the Third Army of Occupation, and Bushy Graham, champion of the Second Army of Occupation. The two met In the A. E. K. tournament and rivalry ran high. BUI Brown was to have been the referee. Major Dunseith explained that no tickets were collected or sold at the door nnd that admittance was free. The Red Cross nurses who were to circulate about the armory with the tickets sold them merely as means of soliciting sub- scriptions and memberships for the lied Cross. There was no obligation for any one to make a purchaso who did not wish to. Inspector Henry said last night that placards advertising the boxing carnival and announcing that Uckets would be sold at I J and 13 each had been posted In the neighborhood and that he refused to permit the boxing bouts because they were In violation of the State g law, which prohibited them, even for charity, when admission was obarged.
