while President Wilson and v

getting together on unprecedented v
measu-es to give the public all the f

Democratic leaders, feeling out e
sentiment on the Republican side, f
were told that the treaty never could i:

ui&c more insn iwcuivtpuuuvauu wanted
to see it accepted in the near e
future with reservations along the v
Lne of those agreed on by seven I
Senators of that party some days i.'
I - ago- 1
This information came from mem- c
bers of the group of seven after I
completion of a poll begun Wednes- s
day on receipt of the first Democra- v
tic overtures. The twenty needed by r
the Democrats to make the necessa- i:
ry ratification majority of sixty-four, v
had not accepted the proposed re- n
servation program in exact form, it
was asse;*ted, but had given their b
; assent to its general provisions. a
Afterwards Senator Hitchcock, ii
the Demjcratic leader, ^.ent to the ?
White House and is understood to c
have laid the whole Senate situation i ?
before the President He made noj s
formal announcement after the con-; c
ference, but indicated that the administration
stand for unreserved ! s
ratification remained unchanged.! t
J Some of the seven reservation Re-! d
/ publicans, however, insist that they a
/ have had information assuring Dem- i<
J ocratic assent to their program. t
J The new draft of reservations was j F
/ shown to several Republicans during j t
/ the day by Senator Lodge, the Re- j S
publican leader. It is understood to j g
cover the four points embraced in r
the plan agreed on by the seven
Senators and to include also a provi- t
sion that appointment of the Ameri- r
can representative on the league s
council must have Senate approval I<

Flans for the Whie House confer- r
ence Tuesday were virtually com- a
- pleted during the day with an agree- s
ment that both White House and j
committee stenographers should be c
present and that a transcript of the a
discussions would be issued to the I
press. Chairman Lodge also gave ?
his assent to the presence of news- 1
paper correspondents at this meet- r
ing, but said that was a question for c
, the President to decide.

n reply to a request that the com
nittee members should not be re
trained to secrecy about the dis
ussions. Mr. Wilson said he \voul<
uovide a stenographer and suggest
d that the committee also brinj
me. Cha'rman Lodge said it woul<
>e done.
Although it began dicussion o:
>roposed amendments to the treat]
>ody, the committee decided to voti
>n none of them until it had talke<
rilh the President. There will be n<
neeting tomorrow and most of nex
reek will be devouted to hearing
ive additional witnesses summoned
The question of how soon th<
ommittee would report to the Sen
ite was one of the subjects mos
arnestly discussed in the many con
erences held among Senators dur
ng the day. While the Democra
eaders said they believed twent]
tepublicans would exert their influ
nee for early committee action, i'
made clear by the reservatioi
Republicans that they had not prom
?ed any Republican votes for a mo
ion to take the treaty out of th<
ommittee's hands. After his Whit<
louse conference Senator Hitchcocl
aid the committee might repor
rithin ten days or two weeks. H<
nade it clear that getting the treat)
nto the Senate as soon as practicable
f&s the present concern of the ad
ninistration.
Chairman Lodge is understood t<
e in sympathy with the move foi
n early action of the committee an<
t is thought examination of wit
lesses may be hastened and no mor<
ailed. Some members of the com
aittee want Col House and other!
ummoned, however, and anothei
ommittee fight may result.
Much interest was manifest in th<
et of reservations shown to Sena
ors by Mr. Lodge. It was said h<
lid not aggressively advocate thei:
.doption, but merely asked the opin
on of several Senators regarding
hem. It is understood they differ ii
ihraseology from those drafted bj
he seven Senators under the lead o:
Senator McNary, Republican, of Ore
:on, but that some of the seven wen
aost favorably impressed by them
It was suggested as one possibili
y that the entire reservation grouj
night eventually substitute the re
ervations framed by the Republicai
eader for the McNary draft Mr
^odge has not publicly committe<
limself, however, in favor of a re
ervation program as against th<
tdoption of textual amendments t<
1-- i
ne treaty.
One of the many conferences o
he day was held late in the after
loon at Mr. Lodge's office and Sen
itor McNarv was present. It wa
aid to be the first time the two ha<
rone over at \_:h the reservatioi
luestion. Afterward neither had an;
innouncement to make. Senato
litchcock also talked with Senato
dcNarv before going to the Whit
iouse and during the day severa
nembers of the foreign relation
ommittee went over together th
senate situation.

\ Washington, August 16.?Prof, j
Homer B. Hulbert, who^went to Ko-.

and who later acted as an envoy for
Hie Korean government for a num[
ber of years, filed with the Senate

dared Japanese in Korea had be;
come unbearable and that unless the
I Koreans were made free "the world
must look to see the rapid extinction
of a nation of 18,000,000 people."
r Prof. Hulbert said that in 1905 he
j delivered to the State department,
after several attempts to get a hear,
ing, a letter from the Emperor of
^ Korea bitterly protesting again't a
, Japanese protectorate in Korea, and
r that Elihu Root, then Secretary ol
State, later wrote that the emperors
? letter was laid before President
^ Roosevelt. Although he was the ac3!
credited representative of the cm'r
peror, he said, he was refused an opportunity
to see the President
r "But on the day before I was ad^
mitted at the State department," the
. statement continued, "the adminis-i
f tration, without a word to the emperor
or government of Korea or to
? the Korean legion, and knowing well
the contents of the undelivered letter,
accepted Japan's unsupported
j statement that it was all satisfactory
to the Korean government and
1 people."
Prof. Hulbert said he also gave to
j the State department a cablegramfrom
the emperor declaring the proa
tectorate had been "extorted at the
j point of the sword and therefore is
null and void."

OBITUARY
On July 29th, 1919 Frances Koger
Shealy passed away into the great
beyond after a short illness of only
a few hours.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
husband and infant son, father,
mother, one sister and four brothers
besides a host of friends and loved
ones. She was a true faithful Christian,
a loving wife and a kind neighbor.
She loved her church and was
ready and willing to do what ever
she was called upon. She will be
greatly missed by her many friends,
especially by her church. She was a
faithful Sunday School teacher and
was president of the Missionary Centenary
work in Rohoboth church.
We have reason to believe that she
died with Jesus and is now at rest
Precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in that home
Which never can be filled.
(Dear Francis how we loved yoiu.
No pen can write, no tongue can
ten,
But again we hope to meet thee
T? land to dwell.
in bliab piuiuiovu ?
=. As she crossed the cold dark river,
I Angles held her by the hand
. Till Jesus bore her safe,
Into the promised land.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more,
And He sweetly called her to
Yonder shining shore.
She is gone, but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Loving thoughts will ever linger
'Round the grave where she is1
laid.
