INDIANAPOLIS, In.l . Sopt. 5 It was
oviilent tbat the part of Indiana which at-
ieuiled yesterday'* meeting anil hoard
1'resident Wilson sneak did n«'t regard
the peace treaty as in danger of death at
the hands of the Republican ('oftgresH. This
was the consensus of opinion today.
The meeting was not aroused to any
necessity of popular demonstration. It ap- '
peared to regard the treaty as a«voni- ;
jdished; not. perhaps the settlement most |
desirable, but the «>uly settlement offered
and consequently the obvious one.
\ari?il Motive* of Audience.
There were apparently as many reasons
for the vast audience as there arc articles
iu the treaty, and the attitude of the
crowd toward those things on which the
President "ought to speak was as varied
as tne senatorial position on pea«e. The
populace turned out to greet Wilson, some
of them as though he constituted an ex-
traordinary State fair attraction, others be-
cause he was accompanied by Mrs. Wil-
son; still others because it was the proper
thing to do. Thousands wished to hear
Wilson's own appeal for the peace treaty
aud it is unfortunate that these thousands
were iu a large measure disappointed be-
cause of the interference of those with
less serious reasons for attending.
Hut it was very evident that the over
whelming majority of the crowd had little
patience for anything but Wilson's words.
(Jovernor Goodrich did not finish bis
speech.
I'le&ttcd With ( hallenice.
There was nothing said at the meeting
that aroused the popular approval as much
as President Wilson's challenge to the op-
ponents of the peace program to bring
forth a substitute.
Mr. Wilson reflected the sentiment of his
audience when he said: "A great plan is
the only thing that can defeat a great
plan. The only thing that equals an or-
ganized program is a better program."
Indianapolis newspapers, without re
gard t•> politics, appear untiniuious that
President Wilson made a masterful pres-
entation of his case aud that popular
opinion is behind him.

COLUMBI A, Ohio, Sp|)t. 0.—The visit of
President Wllsou to Columbus yesterday
nnd Ills addresH on the Leuuue of Nations,
failed to arouse any enthusiasm. Those
who heard it admitted today the address
was an able one so fur as it went, but it
did not go very far and In that respect was
disappolutlug. , ti
The address was delivered at noon in
Memorial Hall, and probably 4,500 heard
him, many of these being clerks and fac-
tory employes, away from work at lunch
hour. Threatening rain aud a street car
strike mav have had much to do with the
s'ze of the crowd that turned out to see
him. but on the other hand there was no
demonstration or euthuslasm on the part
of those who heard him. ...
"He said nothing new." many complained
and in reply to this Wilson supporters
and advocates of the League of Nations as-
serted that the President was merely lay-
ing the ground work for his later ad
dresses

PRKS1DENT ANSWERS GOMPERS.
By Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. S—President
Wilson today replied to a telegram sent
him by Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor on behalf
of the Steel workers. This was learned
Just before the President's special train
pulled out of the station. The President
did not disclose the nature of his answer,
remarking to his secretary that he did not
care to announce It at this time.
PRESIDENT TO LEND AID.
By A«Hociiii» «l Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5.—Presi-
dent Wilson has agreed to undertake to
bring about a conference between repre-
sentatives of the steel workers and of
the I'tilted States Steel Corporation In an
effort to avert a threatened strike.
The President was asked in a telegram
sent him today by Samuel Gompers. un
dent of the American Federation of Labor
and the committee of steel men, to Bay
whether a conference could be arranged
before next Tuesday, when the presidents
of 24 international unions In the steel In
dustry will meet here to take such action
as they might deem necessary.
Text of (iomperu' Appeal.
The telegram to the President follows:
"The executive committee representing
, the various International unions in the iron
I ami steel Industry met today to consider
the awful situation which exists lu many
of the Iron and steel Industry centers. The
coercion, the brutality employed to prevent
men and unions from meeting In halls en
gaged, upon private property in the open
air, the thuggery of the corporation's em-
issaries, the wholesale discharge of num-
bers of men for no reason other than the
one assigned that they have become mem-
bers of the union, have brought about a
situation that it is difficult to withhold
or restrain the indignation of the men and
the resistance they declare that It is their
purpose to prevent.

reservationists came not only from the
group of Republican Senators who have
been holding out faint hopes that the
treaty might be ratified just as it is,
but also from the Democratic side,
where there are a number of Senators
willing to join with the Republicans in
putting the Lodge program through.
While the President was telling audi-
ences in Western States that he will fore?
ratification without reservation or amend-
ment, Senators of his own party were tell-
ing newspaper writers at the Capitol that
they could not bring themselves to vote iu
the manner desired by the President, The
number of Democratic Senators willing to
tote for strong reservations which will
protect American sovereignty and lea/c
no doubt as to the right of the I'nited
States to maintain control over her own
affairs is said to be greater now than
was ever believed possible at any other
stage of the treatv fight.
The general belief expressed today
among Senators of the President's own
party was that the President will face a
super human task if he persists in his ef
fort to put the treaty through uuamended
and unreserved. They simply cannot ste
where he is going to get the votes to do it.
A survey of the Democratic side brings
to light these Interesting facts:
1. Senator Ashurst of Arizona has told
his colleagues among the Democrats that
there are not more than 27 Democratic
Senator, who will vote for the ratification
of the treaty without reservations.
2. Senator Thomas of Colorado an-
nounced that he will vote for reservations,
that he likes the reservations adopted by
the committee and may propose some
changes in them: furthermore, he will of
fer some reservations of his own aud will
introduce sone amendments to the labor
sections In the treaty.
Smith for Reservations.
3. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia de
real I r,ure<' that an>' statement to the effect
_l_1 I that hi? would support the treaty without
reservations is wholly unauthorized. It is
known that Senator Smith favors strong
reservations to the treaty, and that he
would like to go farther than the commit-
tee by providing that no American rcpre
sentative be seated on any of the commit
slons without direct authority of Congress.
4. Senator Gore of Oklahoma favors res-
ervations and will offer some amendments,
an ong thetn being the one to recognize the
Deity in the treaty and one to recognize
the right of Ireland to freedom
5. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts wilt
vote for reservations, while Senator Heed
of Missouri has been against the entire
treaty from the very start and will con-
tinue to be against it to the end.
The hope to which some of the Admin-
istration followers have clung that it
might be possible to gather enough votes
among dissatisfied Republicans to defeat
reservations apparently has gone glimmer
lug Every one of the so-called "mild
rew rvatlonl'ts" from whom Senator Hitch-
cock and others thought they might get
votes cair.e out today in support of the
Lodge nrogram of reservations. That Is,
r the "mild Senators mdorsed all of th>
the case as presented to you last week, and I reservations but the one relating to Ar-
your earnest declaration to endeavor to
bring about a conference for the honora
ble and peaceful adjustment of the matters
in controversy, have thus far been enabled
to prevail upon the men not to engage in
' a general strike. We cannot now affirm
how much longer we shall be able to exert
that Influence, but we urge you, even In
the great work in which you are engaged
to give prompt assistance to this most vital
of Issues; for If the men can no longer
be restrained, it is impossible to foretell
what the future may hold In store for an
industrial crisis which may ensue and frus-
trate the project which you have worked
at for peaceful and honorable adjustment
of Industrial affairs In our country.
"A meeting of all presidents of the 24
international unions in the steel inri:-.a.'»-
has been called to take place on Tuesday,
September l>, in Washington. D. C., to tnke
such action as they may deem necessary.
May we not have your reply on or before
that time as to whether or not a conference
with the Steel Corporation Is possible."

Alvarado urges Carranza, Ohregon and

unite with the revolutionary element in a
great policy to solve national problems,
which lie enumerates as follows:
Pacification of the couutr\, organization
of the army, settlement of internal and
foreign debts, settlements of - laluis for
damages caused by the revolution, the pe •
troleum problem, organization of the Na ,
tlonal Railways aud settlement ->f the

to lead the movement, and upon Obregon
and Gonzales to resign their • andldaclea I

of the civil and military authorities in
some regions are so tiiitragcous. he said,
that lie wonders the inhabitants do not

So many are the causes impelling the

There was little irossl|i today as to
who would be the probable successor to
Mr Kedfleld. So far as could be learned
the President had not expressed any
views to bis advisers.
Discussing his resignation, Mr lied-
field said he had made no plans for the
1 immediate future, but was considering sev-

tide 10. Some of thern thought the lan
j guage used In the Lodge reservation was
a little too stern, although they arc lu
syrnpathv with the purpose of It.
1 The nilnd reservations, so-called, were
Senators Cummins, Mc.Vary, McCumber,
Nelson, Kellogg, Spencer Lenroot, Colt and
Capper. They were willing to accept res
ervatlons. but did not want them so
strong as to keep the United States out
of the treaty Hut here Is the way they
lined up today after studying at their
leisure the Lodge program:
For all the reservations—Cummins and
Capper,
For all the reservations except No 2—
McNary. Kellogg, Nelson, Lenroot, Spen-
cer. McCumber and Colt.
Capper Approves Report.
That alignment does .not lenve much
hope for the Hemocrats that they will get
enough votes to turn down the reserva-
tion program.
Senator t apper said that the reserva
tlons adopted by the committee met with
his approval and he Intended to support
tlieni. Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Be-
(publican whip, said he would not only
vote for them, but believed the President
should accept them. Senator Kenyou of
Iowa, strong Progressives, declared the
treaty could not be ratified without res-
ervation and Hint lie heartily approved of
the reservationists' recommendations.
Senator Spencer said he was a bit
afraid of the rese-vatlon on Article 111,
and thought It should be softened some-
what. At the ssiut time he declared he
would not vote for the treaty unless res-
ervations were adopted.
Senator Colt of Khode Island said he
and Senator I/enroot have the same view
respecting Article 10, and believe that the
reservatlonas drawn Is too strong. He
und Senator Lenroot do not object to the
reservation as implied to declaration of
war, but bellevel it should not be ap-
plied to the ins'ltutlon of a boycott for
violation of con'rvtual obligations,
A substitute se' of reservations was sub-
mitted in the Senate by Senator Mi-Cum-
ber, which limit the reservation on Article
10 merely to the carrying on of war. Sen-
ator McCumber added two more reserva
tlons W the four proposed by the com-
mittee. one of which refers to Shantung
and sets forth thst the I'nited States con-
sents to ratification upon the understand-
ing that Japan will fulfill her promise to
restore Shantung to China. The other an
dltlonal reservation relates to the exclu-
sion of constituent parts of an empire In
any dispute involving any of tile domin-
ions of the empire Itsel/.
Senator Shields of Tennessee, who voted
with the Republicans • estenlay in adopt-
ing tbe reservations, said today tbat he
Is determined not to support the treaty
unless reservations are made. He said he
would not sign either the majority or
minority reports of the Foreign Relations
Committee and would hold himself free
to suggest changes In the reservations
when they are before the Senate,
Senator Shields said: "I do not be-
lieve the I'nited States should be commit,
ted to any act of war unless Justifica-
tion Is shown as was shown when we en-
