WASHINGTON, March 29.-The

The senate foreign relations COM
mittee, makeup of which viii be de-

center OF this preliminary encounter,
possibly indicating which way the
sentiment in the senate is swaying.
After the peace treaty, with the
league covenant in it, is sent to the

ceduTe it will be referred to the for
eign relations committee
This committee may report it fav-
orably to the senate. it may report II
unfavora bly, or report it without
Recommendation or amendment.
Report is Advantage.
While the committee report in no
way will indicate the final senate
action, both friends and opponents
Of the league are alive to the pre-
liminary advantage Of committee
report favOring their side
For this reason both sides are
trying to organize the foreign rela-

have the majority on it,

come in republican Causus when an

If the republicans have only ma
