July 0. President WI1-1 Ron, back In Wnshlnjton to begin his 'fiuht at home for the league of nations, will be met by a new program of oppo sition to the league. The latest program is to have the treaty, together with n list of specific reservations., reported to the Senate by the foreign relations committee within about ten days and to demand an im mediate rote on the reervntlon. The group of progressive Ilepiibll enns, who hold the balance of power In the fight against the league covenant, suggested the program to the Re publican leaders yesterday and it was favorably received. It was not finally adopted, however, because of the oppn sition of Senntor Knox, who lias reiterated his intention of demanding a vote in the committee on the scpnruti m of tile league covenant from the treaty and of several ether Republican sena tors, including Senator Penrose, who are urging that action on the treaty be delayed indetinitelv. The President also wns greeted with the statement from his supporters in the Senate that the situation in that body regarding the league covenant h very acute. Senator Swanson, of Vir ginia, one of the leading Democratic senators in the light for the league, declared that the light over nmendiug the covenant is extremely close. Close Fight Hvpcrted "It is n question of one vote cither way," said Senator Swnn-nn. "There are several Democratic senators who. we are not certain will ot against making reservations in the revolution of ratifi cation, but. on the other hand, there are two or three Itepublicnus who miij vote with us. It is impossible to say now whether the reservations will be made or not." Senators Hitchcock, Swanson. (Jerry, of Ithode Island, and other Democratic ieaders of the Senate will seel; a confer ence with the President at the White House today to discuss means to meet the Senate opposition to the league covenant and to bring presidential In fluence to bear upon the uncertain Democratic Senators to place them under the President's standard in the fight. Senators I.enroot, Wisconsin : Me Cormick, Illinois; Cummins and Moses. New Hampshire, were among those who suggested haste in considering the treaty. Reservations Named Opponents of the league said that they have virtually agreed upon the reservations that they will demand. They are practically the reservations rnggrstcd by Klilm Hoot, and provide for a more specific reservation of the Monroe Doctrine, nn "interpretation" of Article 10 of the league covenant, under which the territorial and po iitical integrity of every member nation is guaranteed, the right of withdrawal at any time without securing the con tent of the league and the reservation of immigration, tariff nnd other do mestic (luestions to the United States to settle for itself. Gore Wants Reservations Senator McCormiek. who lias been conducting the pool of the Senate for the league opponents. saj( that forty-nine is the minimum number of votes that will be cast for reservations. He said that that number of senators will vote for radical changes in the covenant and that minor arrangements will receive the uites of eight or nine more, including several Democratic senators. position in advocacy of reservations after a conference with Senntor Lodge. As lie stepped from Mr. Lodge's of fice, Mr. fiore, when asked what his attitude would be when the league cove nant came to the Senate for action, said that he would support a resolution of reservation that would embrace : First. A more expleeit reservation of the Monroe Doctrine Second. I'nen,uivocal stipulation that the United States reserves for itself the determination of purelv domestic ques tions, such as immigration, racial equal ity and the tariff. ' Wants Referendum Provision Third. A provision for n referendum i to the people on the I'nited States en tenng .any war under the provisions of Article X, guaranteeing the territorial integrity of nations in the league. I Fourth. A stipulation that the I'nited j States may withdraw from the league upon n declaration by Congress or proc- lamation by the President instead of having it dependent upon the assent of I the league council. ' Senator Core said that without a res olution of reservation to embrace the four features enumerated the I'nited States would be committed to policies , contrary to America's determination of i her own affairs. ' Senator Sherman, of Illinois, intro dueed , a resolution In the Senate nnd which was referred to the foreign ' relations committee, asking the Pres ident to inform the Senate by what au thority or power he agreed to the 1 An rito nt nntinnD in 1. 1)nnA.

Students In Charge To, the counsellors who take care of the kids at the camp and who arc volunteer workers selected from the students of the 1'niversity, this group is called the "foreign" group. But only for the sake o'f discrimination. Ex perience of previous years shows that they are just as much Americans as the 1000 or more other native American kids who till the soil, who swim in the creek, who hike the shaded roads, and who listen to the camp fire yarns, dur ing n summer season nt Green Lane. "They hne to be taught hpw to play in groups, hpwever." said Dr. Wiilnrd Lnmpe, who has charge of the 100 boys. "You do not have to teach the boy of native American parents to do that. It seems quite natural for him to organize. After a ride in hay wagons over a three-mile humpy road, nnd after a wash and dinner, this little league of nationalities will elect n con gress nnd choose a president from among the members. This congress will meet daily on Congress Rock to dispense iu'stice nnd plan the next day's activ ity." Simultaneously with the departure from the Reading Terminal, 12.' campers, sunburned nnd almost half glad nt the prosport of seeing their folks again and half-sorry that they had to leave, pulled out of the Green Lane station for Philadelphia.

In their test the Navy officials applied the intense heat of a power-blast Bunsen burner to several of the best known makes of steel cabinets. The flame, measured by the pyrometer, registered 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Since, a plain steel wall is a conductor of heat, the papers inside qf the ordinary steel cabinets, began to . smoulder and, almost immediately burst into flames. But, when the Navy officers applied the flame of 1 50O degrees to the "Y and E" Fire-Wall steel filing cabinet there was a far different result u The layer of asbestos, in a dead air chamber between two walk of steel really protected the papers within from the flames. The "Y and E" Cabinet proved, by this Navy Department Test, to be over three times as fireproof as any other steel filing cabinet made.
