RESERVATIONS
TO PEACE TREATY
URGED BY ROOT
Program for Mceptanw.ofllS
League Laid Before. Sen
gators by Former Sec
retary of State.
Wishington, June 21. The league
of nations controversy in the sen
ate was enlivened Saturday by a
series of developments accepted as
foreshadowing the lines into which
the final ratification fight may fall.
Elihu Root, secretary of state un
der President Roosevelt, laid be
fore the foreign relations commit
tee a program for acceptance of
the league with certain restrictions.
.Senator -Borah, republican, of
Idaho,"gave notice ih a speech that
h could not remain in the repub
litan jarty if it failed to take a
more definite stand against the
league.
' Senator Hitchcock democrat, of
Nebraska, replied that no party
iared stand against the league nro
posal and declared the covenant
was assured of ratification by re
publican votes.
Senator Knox., of Pennsylvania,
decided to call for a showdown of
senate opinion Monday, by bringing
in his resolution declaring the
treaty cannot be accepted with the
league covenant attached.
Of these developments the rcc
ornmendation of former Secretary
Root, presented after two days of
conferences here with ' league op
ponents, attracted widest discussion
tonight because it was regarded as
efnbodying.a plan of which,-nap-
; peal is likely to be made for unity
of, action by all wlfo do not fully
""'"-approve the Paris covenant.
Mr, Root strongly urged separa
tion of the league of nations from
the peace treaty and recommended
adoption by the senate of the Knox
"resolution.
"'The principal treaty reservati6ns
proposed by Mr, Root relate . to
I American, action under Articlc 10.
the territorial guarantee claimsA the
Monroe doctrine anfl for withdrawal
of America from the league by its
own action and without consent of
ot'ier nations. .
3lr. Root declared the Monroe
Doctrine clause- "erroneous in its
description of the.doetrine and, am
biguous in its meaning", while tlx
' new provision for withdrawal leaves
, a "doubt whether -the nations could
- not be kept "in the league indef
initely against our will."
t Ratification Reservations.
.The ratification reservations rec-.
ommended by the former1 secretary
' were:
""(1) Tri advising and consenting to
the ratification of fhe said treaty, the
, sejjate .reserves and excludes from

consent. '
f(2) The senate consents to the
ratification of the said treaty, rc-
serving article 10 aforesaid with
thjs understanding that whenever

fulfilled will be deemed to render,
'the two years' notice ineffectual or

in the league after the expiration of

wh of the European states that it

O., early today, according; to state
ments of the train crew and pas
sengers oh their arrival here this
morning.
The train was preparing to take
a siding near Lima to allow a train,
Cincinnati to Detroit, to pass. Four
men who were in hiding crept out
and uncoupled the train from the lo
comotive, but failed to notice the
safety chan coupling. They de
manded that the engineer pull his
engine away. The engineer put on
steam enough to give the train a
jerk, the chain standing the pull.
The train crew, knowing that No.

the train when it began to move and
drove off the bandits with revolvers.
