WASHINGTON. Aug 27 Senate debate on the peace treaty rose to the bitterest point today since the document was presented by President Wilson.
 Facing at a distance of few feet, Senator Fall. republican. New Mexico. who had just asserted that Senator McCumber, republican. North Dakota. had in his address yesterday on Shan tung defended on the ground of justice the award of Japan of goods stolen from China, the North Dakota senator declared the assertion was ''unquali tiedly false" and that he mad not justi fled Germanys action.
 This brought a quick retort from Senator Fall that Senator McCumber had defended the Shantung provision and had claimed that Japan had the right to take Shantung. By this time both senators had raised their voices to a high pitch and were pounding their desks. Senator McCumber re- plying. shouted to Senator Fall that Japan derived the right to Shantung under solemn pledge to return it "hut you leave that out of your state nent referring to the assertion re garding Japan's unqualified right.
 Previously Senator Fall who was defending the action of the foreign re- lations committee in adopting an amendment to give German rights in Shantung. to China instead of Japan, was interrupted by Senator Nelson, republican. Minnesota. who declared if the committee had made '.mince meat of the treaty the senate would brush the action aside. When Senator Fall said he would not enter into dis cussion with the Minnesota senator be- cause of the latter's age Senator Nei son responded that the senator could consider him the youngest man in the senate. and as one who was neither in his second childhood in this matter nor in the Mexican matter"
 Further defending the committed $ vote on the Shantung amendment, Sen ator Fall said he was weary of some who wished to make the nation accept the treaty s'iust as it came from the white house typewriter with no more consideration for the American people than was shown the Germans when they signed at the point of the bay onetn
 The foreign relations committee in a meeting preceding the senate session was unable to proceed with it's consid- cration of proposed amendments and will begin tomorrow an extended schedule Of open hearings. It is under stood tkat the leaders expect to com plete the report to the senate by the end of next week.
 Another development in the Shan tung question was the beginning of an attempt by the group of republicans who have agreed on set of reserva- tons to the league of nations covenant 10 get together on a reservation ex- pressing the senate's regret at the Shantung award. The reservation, which would be proposed as a substi- ute for the foreign relations commit tees amendment will be discussed at q conference of several republicans tomorrow
