WILSON DISCUSSES
RESERVA TIONS FOR
FIRST OF HIS TOUR
Change Is Described as "An Assent With
a Big 'ButScores Move For
Unconditional Withdrawal
DECLARES DOCTRINE IS
SWALLOWED BY CONFERENCE
By Associa'ed Press.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. B.—Discussing
for the first time during his speak
ing tour, proposed reservations to
the League of Nations, President
Wilson replied in an address here
to-day to arguments advanced by
those who favor reservations.
"A reservation," he said, "is an
assent with a big 'but.' We agree—
'but.' "
The proposed reservations provid
ing for unconditional withdrawal
from membership, said the Presi
dent, meant that its sponsors wanted
to "sit near the door with their
hands on the knob," and if they say
anything they didn't like to "scuttie
and run."
The League proviso that interna
tional obligations must be fulfilled
bet ore withdrawal would never re
strain the United States, he said, be
cause this nation always would live
up to the provisions.
Doctrine Swallowed
Those who wanted a reservation
to article ten, Mr. Wilson continued,
simply didn't want to come in now
but wanted to be "late joiners."
Any reservation regarding the
Monroe Doctrine, he added, was un
necessary, because the doctrine has
leen "swallowed, hook, line and
sinker," by the Peace Conference
and had ben authenticated by the
big powers of the world for the first
time.
So far as reservations about do
mestic questions were concerned, he
declared, it would be a work of
superogation.
"We didn't ask Germany's consent
about the meaning of any one of
these terms when we were in Paris,"
he said.
We told them what they meant
and said 'sign here." Does any
patriotic American want that method
changed ?"
There were cries of "no, no" from
the crowds.
If reservations were put in, Mr.
Wilson told them, all that the Sen
ate had written in would have to go
hack for the consent cf Germany.
He added that there were indications
that those on the other side of the
water are not in as good a humor as
they had been.
Take it or latavc it
The only way the Shantung pro
vision could be bettered, Air. Wilson
declared, wou'd he to go to war
with Japan, England and France.
He told the crowd the nation could
not "sign all but a part of the
Treaty."
"We cannot rewrite this Treaty."
said he. "We must take it or leave
it."
He said he believed the Treaty
should be accepted soon but added:
"But no man can tell how long it
will take the United States Senate
to do anything."
The President said he had heard
some men wanted the United States
to stand alone for an "armed pan-
Americanism." but he did not be
lieve the neople would accept it. He
paid a tribute to Senator Hitchcock,
the Democratic leader in the Treaty
fight, whose home is in Omaha. He
had been "prepared to stand by
Senator Hitchcock." in the fight.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
rested most of Sunday in their suite
at a Des Moines hotel where they
had spent their first night off their
special train since leaving Washing
ton Wednesday. In the morning
they attended service, however, at

Dover, Eng., Sept. 8. For
mer British officers returning
from France and Belgium where
they have been going over the
ground where a year ago they
w.ere still fighting, express aston
ishment at the manner in which
nature is blotting out the scars
of the war.
"Np Man's Land everywhere is
covered with a mass of scarlet
poppies." said one officer, "and
the disappearance of the rusty
barbed wire makes one almost
forget the place was ever the
most desolate prospect a man
ever saw. But the trenches are
still there and so is much of the
timber, both startling reminders
of the days when we did not
know just what was going tu
happen next."

GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING

Victorious Commander; Vice-Fvbsident Marshall
and Secretary of War Baker Among Notables to
Greet Him; Receptions and Luncheons Fill First Day
at Home.
New York, Sept. B.—Pershing is home again!
Standing on the bridge of the huge Leviathan, itself symbolic
of victory over Germany, the commander of the greatest host ever
gathered under the Stars and Stripes came slowly up the bay to
day, world famed and hailed as a conquering hero should be.
Twenty-seven months ago he
slipped secretly out of-the harbor on
his way to France to prepare the
way for the hosts that were to fol
low. Then he was only a major gen
eral. He came back to-day with
four stars on his shoulders—the
fourth to wear them under the
American flag.
The welcome g?ven would have
quickened the pulse of the hero of
a Roman triumph. Fresh from the
capitals of allied Europe where hon
ors had been heaped upon him. it re
mained for New York to show the
first American to lead an army
across the Atlantic that "home,
sweet home," has a meaning deeper
than "Hail to the Chief."
Hint of Tears in Welcome
No foreign throats could voice the
cheers, no alien hearts could pulse
the greeting that was Pershing's
here to-day. There was a hint of
tears in the welcome, for those who
gave it knew that not even the
plaudits of a grateful people cou.d
banish from the sad-faced soldici'a
mind the memory of his own life's
tragedy.
Dawn barely had broken when

CITY PRESENTS FINE
VIEW FROM THE AIR
Harrisburg's Beauty Praised by Men Who Have Flown Over
Many Municipalities; Need of Trees Is Plainly Shown
Harrisburg had its picture
"taken" from the air this morning
by a member of the government
aviation squadron that arrived last
week to map the country round
about for the llrst transcontinental
air route, and it was the observation
of a Telegraph representative who
went up at the same time that if
Harrisburg people knew how pretty
some parts of their town look from
the air and how bare others appear
they would plant a lot more trees
and clean up their backyards.
"Harrisburg is one of the pretti
est cities I have ever flown over."
said Lieutenant Colonel Kirkiand in
command of the aviation depot at
Middletown and this thought was
in the mind of the Telegraph man
as Lieutenant Potter sat tuning up
his big Curtiss plane on the Mid
dletown field, and it was with that
idea in mind he studied the land-
where he gave his order for a sand
wich and a glass of milk in crisp
tones. The cook being none too fast,
the stranger pulled out his watch and
tapped the floor with the toe of one
of Ills well-shod feet. Replacing the
watch he impatiently waited action
in the kitchen.
""Yuh put me In mind of the Pitts
burgh team when they lose," mumbled
the dejected one from his seat. "They
always dance about that way."
The stranger turned quickly and
gave the <peaker a searching glance.
A smile played about his stern mouth.
His order arrived and the stranger

forts Boom Salute
The forts which guard the harbor
boomed a general's salute as the
ship which once was the pride of
Germany crept past quarantine and
nosed through the narrows into the
harbor under the shadow of Lib
erty's statue. While the guns stiil
echoed, the whistles of merchant
vessels from the seven seas, saucy
tugs, ungainly ferryboats, excursion
craft of every kind, and the sirens
of factories on shore joined in a
discordant salutation.
The shores of Staten Island,
Brooklyn, New Jersey and Manhat
tan were lined with thousands
whose shouts of greeting came
faintly across the waters of the bay
to the familiar figure on the bridge.
They made up the vanguard of the
vast army of welcomers which al
ready had packed Battery Park and
overflowed into the streets beyond,

No Ncotl to Worry
There is plenty of time for the
i airplane observer to take stock of
things below. Much has been writ
ten concerning the thrills and sen
sations of airplaning, the nervous
ness of the man about to take his
1 first ride, but there is nothing like
stage fright for the man who stud
ies the young Army aviators as they
in the most matter of fact manner
go about getting ready for their
flight. They do it not once but
many times every day, and get away
with it, so why should the occa
sional passenger have any worry?
Getting off the ground is a real
sensation. There is a rush of air
as the propellers gather headway
and before one realizes it he is off
the earth and dim ping swiftly to
ward cloudland. Only the feeling
is not that of soaring, but as though
the earth were rapidly falling away
below, and then he begins to get in

Scranton, Pa., Sept. B.—The thir
ty Delaware and Hudson Coal Com
pany's anthracite mines in the
Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys,
employing 20,000 men and boys, are
to-day closed by a strike.
The issue involved is that brought
i out ten days ago when the miners
of the Carbondale district, number -
ing nearly 4,000, quit work in pro
test against excessive dockage, too
frequent layoffs of groups of men
for alleged dirty coal, and the
of mechanical ioaders. The griev
ance committee on Friday last, after
a convention of all the company's
mines had sanctioned it, ordered a
strike effective this morning.
The order was obeyed. General
Superintendent Charles Dorrancc
made no reply to request from the
grievance committee that he meet
them to consider the issues of the
proposed strike.
Taking Strike Vote
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
I Western Company's mines, aiso em
i; ploying twenty thousand men, are

• strike, effective to-morrow, in sup
, port of the Archbald mine protest
against the discharge of seveial
': miners who refused to clear away
i a fall of mine rock unless they were
| paid "epnsideration" rates. The
! mine officials offered laborers' pay
! only. The belief prevail* that the
i men will vote to strike.
President John T. Dempsey, of
j District No. 1, United Mine Work
| ers, which covers all the mines
hereabouts, returned here to-day
from a visit to Cleveland on mat
ters affecting the union. He de
clared the action taken by the Del

lis contrary to the laws of tl;c

TWO ALTERNA TIVES
SUGGESTED TO STOP
SCHOOL CRITICISM
Dowries Explains New Buildings Were
Intended Only as Regional Units;
in Need of Third Building
SUPERINTENDENT DOES NOT
FAVOR FULL REORGANIZATION
Two plans are to be suggested by Dr. F. E. Downes, city
superintendent of schools, to provide junior high school instruc
tion for all seventh, eighth and ninth grade pupils of the city.
I hese plans are included in the reports which will be considered
by school board in its special meeting this afternoon. The ideas
are suggested. Dr. Downes says, to meet criticism of the present
school system.
One alternative provides for aftcr-school instruction for those
seventh and eighth-grade pupils of the central district, who have
not been admitted to either of the junior high schools. The other,
which is presented by Dr. Downes. although not with his ap
proval, provides for the dropping of the 7-B grade. The after
school organization, however, meets with greater support from
the superintendent.
Buildings Overcrowded
It is absolutely impossible to pro
vide for all pupils of the seventh,
eighth and ninth grades in the city
in the Camp Curtin and Edison
buildings. Asked if this was pos
sible. Dr. Downes to-day said:
"Not in regular school hours. We
already have sent to each building
approximately 100 pupils more than
normal capacity.
"They are crowded. There are
about 550 additional pupils of tho
seventh and eighth grades in the
center of the city that it is impos
sible to accommodate in regular ses
sions and do justice to pupils. I
think that these pupils might be ac
commodate and that under the cir
cumstances they probably should be
accommodated in an after school or
ganization. By this plan their grade
sdhools might be closed early and
they might then proceed to the
Junior High schools to take work
