This plan probably will hiring an earlier trial of strength possibly tOmorrow-with the reaching of Article Three of the league covenant, in which is defined the vot- ing power Of the various powers in the league council and assembly. The for elSn reIaIlOnS committee majority mas recommended amendment to the article in the form of Q proviso stipu- lating that the United States shall have a vote in the assembly equal to the aggregate vote of any nation hav- ing governing colonies and do also mem bers of the league.
 This amendment fostered by Sena- tor Johnson, republican. California, is aimed to make the voting power of the United States equal to that of Great Britain and her dominions.
 Negotia tions are to be continued during the week between the mild and drastic" reserva tionists. As the question of reservations will not be taken up until the treaty is Consid- cred article by article. the reserva ton will not soon be brought to head
