an opportunity to determine whether

FIGHT OVER LEAGUE
|SSETF FOR TUESDAY
Senate Supporters of Knox
Resolution, Embracing Is
sue, Will Urge Vote.

The battle in the Senate over the
Knox resolution proposing plan for
the separation of the league of ma
tons covenant and the peace treaty
is set for Tuesday.
The republicans supporting the res
oIution are planning to do all in their
power to force Il vote. The democrats,
supporting the administration. on the
other hand. are understood to be de-
termined never to let the Knox
measure come to a vote and are pre-
pared to filibuster if necessary.
Effect of the Resolution.
The Knox resolution, reported ia
vorably by the foreign relations COM
mittee, at last brings the issue of the
league of nations in concrete form
before the Senate. To all intents and
purposes. the treaty and the league
of nations itself might as we'll be up
for consideration as the Knox reslu
ton.
Should the democrats succeed in
preventing Il vote. it is likely the OPP
ponentS of the league of nations will
make use of the same plan they did
at the close of the last Congress, when
round robin was circulated and
signed by the republicans. in order
to get their views before the world
and particularly before the peace
delegates in Paris.
Statement by Senator Knox
The vote on the Knox resolution
will be close, if it is ever taken. A
few republicans will vote against it,
among them Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, who opposed the reso-
luton in the foreign relations COM
mittee. Senators McNary of Oregon,
Norris of Nebraska and Colt of Rhode
Island have been mentioned as pos
sible opponents of the resolution. On
the other hand, several democratic
senators will vote for it, it is said,
among them Senator Reed of Mis-
