HUGHES URGESRESERVATIONS IN
PEACE TREATYDeclares League Is Needed, but Opposes
Sacrificing Interests of United States;Frames Resolution For Senate
4Cashington. July 28. -? CharlesHughes, Republican candidate in the
last Presidential election, has drawnup a resolution which he offers for
adoption by the United States Sen-
ate, consenting to inclusion of the
League of Natiops Covenant in the
Peace Treaty, but suggesting four
reservations to prevent "sacrificing
the essential interests of the United
States."This became known to-day when
correspondence between Mr. Hughes
and Senator Frederick Hale, Re-
publican, of Maine, dealing with
ratification of the Treaty, was made
public.
While finding ambiguities in Arti-cles I and XV, dealing respectivelywith withdrawal from the Leagueand questions of purely a domesticnature, Mr. Hughes takes chief ex-ception to Articles XXI and X,which concern the Monroe Doctrineand the liability of the United Statesto provide armed forces to protectother members ol' the League.
The "descriptive phrase" employed
in connection with the Monroe Doc-
trine is said by Mr. Hughes to be"inaccurate," while Article X is
branded by him as a "trouble breed-er," which if not eliminated, shouldbe thoroughly interpreted. Any"reservations," Mr. Hughes added,should be incorporated in "the in-strument of ratification" to make itvalid, but the fact that such reser-vation are made should not lead to
the assumption that the Treaty
would fail or the Peace Conferencewould have to resume operations.
Sees Xced For 'League.
ReservationsUrged by Hughes
SUMMARIZED, these are Mr.Hughes' four reservations tobe made in including the
League of Nations covenant inthe Peace Treaty:
First, that on giving notice ofits intention to withdraw fromthe League, a power shall ceaseto be a member or subject toobligations of the covenant atthe time specified in the notice,but that such withdrawal shallnot release that power from debtor liability theretofore incurred.
Second, that questions such asimmigration or import duties,which are solely within domesticjurisdiction, shall not be submitt-ed for consideration or action bythe League.
Third, that the United Statesshall not relinquish its traditionalattitude toward purely Americanquestions, which shall not be sub-ject to jurisdiction of the Lea-gue, leaving this country free tooppose acquisition by any non-American country of territory inthe Western Hemisphere.
Fourth, that under Article Xthe United States shall assume noobligation to undertake any mili-tary expedition or employ itsarmed forces on land or sea un-less such action is authorized byCongress.
FLASHY WOMENESCAPE POLICE
DURING RAIDMake Way Through Muddy
Fields in Heavy Down-pour of Rain
By Associated Press.
Mhicoln, N. Y., July 28.?Nearlyforty handsomely gowned womenrushed panic-stricken from a resi-dence in Cedarhurst near here yes-terday following a raid on the house
where gambling is said to have beenin progress. Despite a heavy down-pour, the women succeeded in forc-ing their way past the guards andescaping over muddy fields.
The raid was made by membersof the State Constabulary and sev-eral special policemen, although itis said to have been inspired by theNassau Association, composed ofwealthy Nassau county residentswho for some time have been arous-ed by numerous reports of societygambling in their midst.
The raiders entered the house withdrawn revolvers. It was the sightof these weapons that created panicamong the women, according tomembers of the raiding party, andput vim in their flight through thesoggy fields.
Three men and a truckload ofgambling paraphernalia were takenby tbe raiders, who said that someof the poker chips were marked ?shigh as SI,OOO. The men refused togive their names, and were bookedat police headquarters as "John Su-perintendent," "John Bookkeeper"and "John Doorkeeper."
Mother Sentenced toYear in Jail For
Shooting Her SonBy Associated Press.
Pittsfleld, Mass., July 28.?Mrs.Gladys C. Dunn, on trial in the Su-perior Court here for second de-gree murder for the shooting of herson, Joseph Allan Dunn, Jr., on Au-gust 11, 1918, pleaded guilty tomanslaughter shortly after theopening of court this morning. Mi\>.Dunn withdrew her plea of notguilty to the indictment at the so-licitation of her husband, J. AllanDunn, her attorneys and friends,who feared a jury verdict of "notguilty by reason of insanity," re-quiring her incarceration in a Statehospital for the criminally insaimmight prove fatal to her in a shorttime because of her nervous tem-perament.
It is expected that the DistrictAttorney recommended a slioitsentence to the Berkshire countyjail. Mrs. Dunn was sentenced toone year in jail.
Mrs. Dunn, who is the wife of J.t\,ia 1 P unn - of New York, an author,killed her son at their summer homein Lenox last August. The boy was- 1-2 years of age.
The parents had quarreled, it ap-peared in evidence, and the wife inanger, said she would kill the childand herself. She rushed to her hoomobtained a revolver there, and ac-cording to her counsel in his openingaddress, held it to her head. Whenher husband called to her she turn-ed and discharged the revolver Thechild was killed. Mrs. Dunn said sheintended to shoot herself. She is 35years of age and had been marriedtwice previously.
HUNGARIANS BEATEN BACKBy Associated Press.Vienna, Sunday, July 27. TheHungarian Soviet troops have beenthrown hack in disorder across theTheiss river by the Rumanians, atSzoluok and other points, accordingto reports received here to-day.
The resolution suggested by Mr.Hughes is embodied in a letter re-plying to one from Senator Hale re-questing Mr. Hughes' opinion on thevalidity of reservations to the pro-posed covenant and also asking Mr.Hughes "what reservations in yourjudgment should be made to safe-guard the interests of our country."In his letter. Senator Hale assertshe "wants to see some plan devisedwhereby the United States maysafely enter the League of Nations."
In his reply, Mr. Hughes states,"there is a plain need for a Leagueof Nations." He added that "there is
also the immediate exigency to beconsidered" and that "it is manifestthat every reasonable effort shouldbe made to establish peace aspronvply and to bring about a con-dition in which Kurope can resumeits normal industrial activity.
"I sec no reason why these ob-
jects cannot be attained withoutsacrificing the essential interests ofthe United States," Mr. Hughes con-tinues. "There is a middle ground
between aloofness and injurious com-
mitments."Just a Beginning
While regretting that "suitable"steps have not been taken to formu-late international legal principlesand settlement of disputes by im-partial tribunals, Mr. Hughes de-clares "there is merit enough in theproposed plan to make it desirableto secure it, if proper safeguardscan be obtained." "He adds that "itis just as futile to exaggerate itsvalue as it is to sec nothing but its
defects." In his opinion the propos-ed covenant should be viewed "asa mere beginning," "but it is im-portant that a false start should notbe made.
The question as to the validity ofreservations has two aspects, saysMr. Hughes: "First, with respect toaction on our part which is essen-tial to making of reservations; and,second, as to the effect of reserva-tions upon other parties to theTreaty.
"As to the first question, it ismanifest that attempted reserva-tions will be ineffectual unless theyqualify the act of ratification," saidMr. Hughes, adding that such reser-vations must constitute part of theinstruments of ratification.
Would Play Safe.If the proposed reservations are
reasonable, responsibility for defeat

FAIR BATHERS TAKE TO THESTREETS WITH ENTHUSIASM
Atlantic City Has Nothing on Harrisburg's River Front ParkWhen It Conies to Fair Damsels in Attractive Costumes
Some of Harrisburg's older andmore sedate residents in Front streetnearly lost an eye yesterday whenthey chanced to look out the win-dow and observed what appeared tobe a very good imitation of AnnetteKellerman sauntering slowly downthe park. After a few minutes'stroll the Venus appeared to berather bored with the intense observ.ation which she suffered, andwandered down the bank to thecity front steps.
There really is no mystery to
this story at all; she was not a diverfrom a local theater, she was not amermaid or anything like that infact there was nothing "tishy" abouther. Only a young woman sufferingfrom the heat and desirous of aswim in the cooling waters of theSusquehanna.
It is said now that since the iceis broken by the venturesome maidenHarrisburg will soon be treated tothe sight of many bathers wander-ing about the immediate vicinity ofthe river. Atlantic City as a resortwill have nothing on us.

FLETCHER WILLTAKE WARNING
TO MEXICANSFailure to Protect Lives Will
Leave Stern Alternativee For United States
NEW POLICY BUDDING
Program Is Mapped Out andMoving Along Well-
Dcfined Lines
Washington, July 28.?Ambassa-dor Fletcher, upon his return toMexico, will bear an important com-munication to President Carranza. Itis understood it will be of a natureso direct and to the point that the
Mexican chief cannot fail to realizethat his policy of evasion and equiv-ocation must terminate and propci
protection given foreign citizens, as
well as full amends for past out-rages.
In event the Carranza governmentdoes not meet its international obli-
gations it is expected the Mexican
Executive will be given to under-stand clear./ the consequences andthe duty entailed upon the UnitedStates under those circumstances.
New Policy May Be BuddingDemands from members of Con-
gress that the United States with-draw its recognition of the Carranzagovernment and go into Mexico tostraighten out a tangled situationand to afford protection to the citi-zens and interests of foreign nationsseem to he having little effect uponthe White House in tne State De-partment, though the President'sproclamation hanning shipments ofarms into was indicative ofE iwing belief that sooner or laterintervention yvill be necessary andthat the traffic in arms should -bestopped in the interest of those whomust later cope with that crisis.
Such action is more indirect thanis asked by many who are now plac-ing their claims against Mexico be-fore Congress, but the President hasmapped out his Mexican programand is moving along well-determinedlines. Since his return from Parishe has conferred on several occa-sions with State Department offi-cials upon the subject and the Mex-ican situation was also thoroughlygone into at Versailles before Uwas agreed that Mexico should nothe invited to join the League ofNations.
Those close to, the administrationdo not anticipate any action inMexico until the fate of the Leagueof Nations is settled and the PeaceTreaty with Germany ratified. Ifan international tribunal is createdfor the adjustment of disputes, andthis is assured in some form, almostthe first matter to he laid beforeit will be the Mexican questionwhich is of vital importance notonly to the United tSates, but toEngland, France and other Euro-pean countries whose cit'zens haveinvested vast capital in the MexicanRepublic and who have been un-able to extend aid and defense be-cause of the European struggle.
Startling DevelopmentsThere were many startling devel-
opments In the Mexican situationhere.
In the House an attack on thefarranza government was made byRepresentative Hudspeth, of Texas,who advocated the adoption of theEmerson resolution authorizing thesending of American troops intoMexico to protect American livesand property until a responsiblegovernment could be established.His fiery utterances were cheeredby members of both the Republicanand Democratic sides.
The State Department, on theother hand, tetalned a calm de-meanor and deprecated reports thatthere had been a change in policyby the executive branch of the gov-ernment toward Mexico. It did,however, make announcement thatanother kidnaping had been report-ed and that the Mexican authori-ties had ben asked to investigate.
Ambassador Fletcher, who hasbeen on special duty here at theState Department several months,made public communications he hadsent to the Mexican Senate audLower House in reply to messagessent by members thanking him forthe fair attitude he assumed whentestifying before the rules commit-tee of the House a week ago.
The Fletcher letter expressed thehope that conditions would prevailthat would assure friendly relationsbetween the United States and Mex-ico. He urged patriotic co-operation
"toward securing more efficient anaadequate protection for the lives ofAmericans in Mexico."
By some this was taken as in-dicating that the government wouidinsist that better conditions mustbe brought about in Mexico if rela-tions were- to continue as at pres-ent and this government was to em-ploy no more vigorous measures toprotect its citizens and their inter-ests in Mexico.

Incidental to the passage of theforestalling ordnance by City Coun-cil to-morrow the Telegraph is ad- jvised that interested consumers may jsee a fine demonstration of the evils ,of forestalling at either of the iSusrjuehanna river bridges any mar- jket morning.

Then they flock ito the market places and boost theprices of the stuff which \hey havespurchased frcm the producers. It is'general'y understood that the fore-stallers in the city markets ure agi-tnted over the pro pect of a s'rictenforcement of the forestalling regu- rlations now under consideration by ithe City Council.

Wear Sensible Clothes"Wear porous clothing, loose col-
lars, light shoes and hats and dressin keeping with the weather.
"Retire early and rise early. Sleepin a dark, quiet room with open win-dows and sleep from 6 to 8 hours.
"Rest for a whole day each weekwithout even reading or writing.
He Temperate"Avoid fatigue and excitement and
don't worry about things that havehappened or may happen. Neversay unpleasant things and don't lis-ten too much.
"Be temperate in all things, espe-cially in the use of alcohol, tobacco,coffee, tea and also the new drinksnow being exploited.
"Get married and have a happyhome.
"Consult your physician and haveregular periodical examinationsmade by him to determine diseasechanges; take no medicine except byyour physician's advice."
