Against the entry of American troops In
rexIco in search of bandits who held
two American army officers for ransom,

withdrawn immediately, was made to

from his government.
It was announced at the State Dc-
Siartmcnt that no answer to the protest
would be made today.
While no announcement regarding the
movement of the American forces .was
tnadc, there were Indications that thq
Mexican protest would not hasten their
vithdrawnl.
1 The troops went In on a "hot trail"
and were not expected to return until
the bandits either had been captured
or the trail had become cold.

Resojutions Designed for Per

lican Senators
REGARDED AS BLUNDER
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stan" Correspondent of the Kventnr I'ulillc
Iedrec
Washington, Aug. 21. The Pittman
resolutions have thrown the situation
with respect to the league f nations
into confusion. Their introduction nt
this time has accomplished the impos
sible a union of the Bcpublicnns.
Kven tho mildest reservntionists, if
there are any who are willing to vote
for reservations In n separate resolu
tion, do not propose to have Sir. Pitt
man write that resolution. They nnd
all the rest of the mild reservntionists,
even those who arc for merely interr
prctntivc reservations, to be included,
however, in the resolution of ratifica
tion, will vote against Mr. Pittman.
So for a moment all of the Republi
cans of all varieties of opinion, from
Senators McCumber nnd McXary all the
way to Senntors Borah and Johnson,
stand together for once.
One advantage may come from a vote
against Mr. Pittman, a lesson to the
Democrats like iiim nnd Senator Owen,
who want to get into the limelight and
go down in history as the proposers of
the immortal compromise. The pro
league forces, that is the Democrats,
are in danger of getting into the snmc
state of disorganization that the Re
publicaus have been in, nnd will re
turn to as soon as the Pittman resolu
tions are disposed of.
Plttman's Action Besented
The Pittman resolutions were intro
duced without consultation with any
body. Senator Owen propbscd to intro
duce similar resolutions, similarly with
out consultation. Probably "the type
writers of several other Democratic
senate were enj-aged in a like enter
prise. Senator Swanson has been negotiat
ing for a long time with the moderate
rescrvationists and without consulta
tion with Senator Hitchcock, the-Democratic
leader. There is reason to be
lieve that Senator Swanson wns act
ing for President Wilson, who has the
habit of undermining the authority and
influence of his ngents by having sev
eral of them nt once all doing the
same thing from different points of
view.
A sharp rejection of activities of .that
sort will beneficially affect the pros
pects of a covenant with interpretative
reservations not requiring the assent
of foreign countries, which is the com.
promise that will inevitably bo worked
out.
It Is easy to exaggerate the import
ance of Senator Pittmnn'p blunder.
Both sides are making a great deal of
noise about it the Democrats for dis
ciplinary reasons to discourage similar
exploits by other bidders for fame; the
Republicans to bring their forces into
union by playing upon the natural re
sentment of Senator Kellogg and his
group at the effort of certain "mild"
Democrats to steal their thunder. Sir.
Plttinan'a mistake will cause a little
delay, but once the Pittman resolutions
arc disposed of the situation will be
once more what if was.
There will be"votes to beat any reacr-

By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 21. President

those nitlfying powers nnd that it was
"questionable whether it can be said
thnt the league of nations is in nny true

As to the question of when normal

arrangement in the treaty convejed nn

of the territorj in question to their

"Germnuy's renunciation in favor of

A shower of very 'limited duration

The shower this afternoon is said by

During August 5.03 inches of rain
