MILD RESERVATION
SENATORS URGENT
FOR COMPROMISE
Republican Advocates OF
Treaty Ratification in Con-
test With IrreconciIableS.

A race is on between the mild res
ervationists and the irreconcilables
among the republican senators to OBJ
tain the ear of Senator Lodge. the re-
publican leader, in the peace treaty
fight. The mild reservationists are
urging compromise with the democrats.
so as to bring about ratification OF the
treaty with reservations that will yet
safeguard the interests of the United
States The irreconcilables are urging
that no compromise be made, believing
that in this way they can "kill' the
treaty.
Conferences Proposed.
The mild reservationists are plan
ming conferences, first with Senator
Hitchcock. the democratic leader
and then with Senator Lodge. They
are anxious to find out just how far
the administration leader will go in
making compromise. 1t is ex-
pected that these conferences will be
held early this week. The fact that
Senator Hitchcock was confined to
his home with cold prevented the
conference with him yesterday.
Some of the irreconcilable repub-
licanS are not satisfied with the course
of Senator Lodge as republican leader
and it is rumored that when the Sem
grievances in a debate that will be
spicy, to say the least.
Pulling in Opposite Directions.
The fact of the matter is that with
two wings of the party pulling in op-
posite directions, one seeking the
ratification of the treaty and the
league of nations and the other op-
posed to the treaty in any form, the
republican leader has no bed of roses.
So far the party has hung together,
but the time seems to be rapidly ap-
preaching when showdown will be

demanded and the treaty win be rati-
fed or effectually shelved and go into
the national campaign of next year.
This is desired by Senator johnson Of
California, who is a candidate for the
republican nomination, and by Sem
ator Borah and others. With the
treaty as an issue. it is believed
that Senator Johnson's candidacy will
be much stronger than If it is r"-
moved from the field of politics.
Democrats In Leadership Contest.
On the democratic side of the cham
Der the contest between Senator
Hitchcock and Senator Underwood of
Alabama for the democratic leader
ship to- succeed the late Senator Mar
tin continues to complicate the situ-
alton. The Underwood faction seems
to be more ready than the Hitchcock
followers to bring about a compro-
mise which will result in ratifica-
tion of the treaty by the Senate.
Back of all these ramifications,
however. remains the fact that. the
treaty must be ratified in such shape
that it will be acceptable to the Presi-
dent. if the friends of the pact are
to succeed in having it finally adopt
ed by the governments. for the Presi-
dent has the power, after the Senate
has acted. either to exchange the
ratifications with the nations con-
cerned, or to pigeonhole the treaty.

no Agreement Reached;
Extreme Tension Evident

Extreme tension was evident as a
result of to-day's discussions, and it
is believed throughout the confer
ence that another critical stage has
been reached. One of the most re-
sponsible authorities associated with
President Wilson SAID that he would
not be surprised if American par
ticipation was brought to an early
close if the delays over details were
carried much further
The differences still remaining on
the subjects of frontiers and repair
ations are comparatively light, he
added, and yet these slight differ
ences are so persistently maintained
as to threaten to create prolonged
delays. which the President and
the American delegation are not
willing to accept.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-08
President Firm Against
Further Concessions

The President was described by
one who saw him during the day as
standing firm in his determination
to make no further concessions. He
insists that the principles definitely
agreed upon at the time of the
armistice are at stake. There is
little doubt that the Presidents
stand has been made known to other
members of the council, but since his
illness he has not personally con-
ferred with any of them, excepting
Colonel House.
The existing tension led to many
reports of decisive action which the
American delegation was said to be
about to take. These reports were
more or less exaggerated. yet all
seemed plausible in view of the
Presidents determined attitude.

Examine All Accounts

The New York City Board ct i.duca-
ton last night brought to i climax
one of it's livellest sessions with a
declaration Of war on the organization
known as the Teachers Union.
A resolution folbidding the use Of
school buildings for meetings OF the
union was unanimously passed, and
only President Somorss sharp reminder
that eve cannot be at once investi-
gators. jury and Judge in this case
prevented the board from pressing to
passage a second resolution condemn
ing and outlawing the teachers organi-
zation.
AS it was, Superintendent Ettinger
was empowered to institute an Gimme
diatc and exhaustive investig igation"
into the life, affiliations, opinions and
loyalty of every member Of the union.
This investigation is to take prece-
dencc over all other work and a re
port to be made to the executive ses-
sion Of the Board of Education at the
earliest moment sufficient data has
been assembled
we can be depended upon to do
the rest with all promptitude." de
clared Vice President Frank Wilsey.
lnstigated by Ettingcr
The investigation into the Teachers
Union was instigated by letter from
superintendent Ettinger to the Presi-
dent of the board Accompanying this
was a quantity of the unions litera-
ture in which the Boa-o of Education
and tho educational integrity of the
New York school system were both
scathingly disparaged.
A report also was submitted from
May Halsted Beatty. Inspector of com
centres, Of Teachers Union
meeting held on March 20 at Public
School No. 27. the tenor of which was
directly responsible for Superinten-
dent Ettingers move in the matter.
The subject of the meeting was
free speech and the rights of teach
ers," said Miss Beatty's report, land
the spirit Of the meeting was one of
defiance and criticism of TIM Board
of Education. The board was repre-
sented as tyrants, oppressors, a priv
ileged class, desirous of suppressing
the rights of both teachers and pu-
pills.
THE worlds war syllabus adopted
by the board was bitterly attacked as
teaching untruths to the children and
giving them a prejudiced and false
idea of traditions. A representative
of the Central Federated Union spoke
of methods of trials Of members Of
the union to the detriment and dis
credit of the Board of Education.
"Neiled Attack on Governments
colbert +. Roe, counsel for the
Teachers Union, made speech in
which veiled attack was made upon
the government. While it is impos-
slblc to point to any statement which
could be called treason, it was clearly
evident that it was intended. In fact
