ervation of Amerieanism.

Washington. Aug. 12.-The tradt- tional deccrum of senate procedure was upset today by an unusual dem- onstration of approval from the gall Ieries following an address by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. chairman of the foreign relations committee, as- sailing provisions of the league of na- tions covenant spectators applauded and cheered in violation of senate rules. and then when order had been restored they interrupted with howls and misses a speech by Senator Williams, democrat, Mississippi. in reply to MT. Lodge. In spite of sharp admonition from the chair, there were more misses mingled with applause when Senator Hitch cock. democrat, Nebraska. seconded Senator Williams speech.
 Vice President Marshall made no at tempt to check the first demonstration until it had begun to die out. but later he twice threatened to clear the gall Ieries unless order was preserved.
 Senator Lodges address, itself un- interrupted, was aimed chiefly against league provisions which he said would make the United States "a subject na- tion." and ended with an appeal for the preservation of Americanism.
 Senator Williams bitterly assailed the foreign relations chairman. de- elaring that in three months of prepa- ration he had worded his address to serve republican political ends and to play to the galleries.
 There was no appeal in Senator Lodges address for rejection of the league altogether. nor was there any mention of the program of reservations proposed by seven republican senators a basis of it's acceptance. It was learned, however. that this program had been discussed with him by some of it's sponsors and that a conference of republicans would be held within a few days at which m attempt will be made to bring the Massachusetts sen-

, ator and several others into agreement on such a plan. r
 It was understood the reservation group felt they had good ground Tor believing that their proposal would be accepted by Mr. Lodge and that enough republicans then could be lined up to insure success of the movement should the democratic leaders give their assent.
 The uDroar in the senate chamber followed an equally tumultuous session of the foreign relations committee al which David Hunter Miller. legal ad- wiser to the. league of nations commIs- sion at Versailles. was vigorously questioned by republican senators about the genesis of the league cove nant and the meaning of some of its provisions.
 Mr. Miller said he never had seen the American plan for a league of nations until it was in printed form ready for submission to the commis- sion, and that later the basis of dis cussion by the commission was com posite plan framed from the drafts of the. ma ations by himself and c. J. P. Hurst a legal attfche of the British foreign office. Under questioning the witness said he was law partner of Gorden Auchincloss. son in law of Col. E. NJ. House. and never had any experience in international negotiation until he was given an appointment in the state department in 1917.
 some memD DerS want 10 dSk OOlOHel House who still is in Europe, be called to answer questions about the league but the general expectation is that the proposal will be abandoned because too great a delay would result.
 The republican senators who have agreed on a reservation program are anxious that the treaty be disposed of at the earliest possible moment. and it is believed they will try to impress that sentiment at the forthcoming con ferences with Senator Lodge and others.
