Washington, Nov. 1S.-Compro.
mise moves to rescue the peace trea'
Is from a threatened deadlock made
such progress today that its friends
declared il had more than an even
chance for life5
So far as itihad taken definite form
tonight, the tcompromise program
called for a final vote Thursday and
pointed toward acceptance of the res.
ervations of the ForeiTl Relations
Committee without the requirement
that they might be assented to at
firmatiyely by the other powers.
The way to compromise was open
ed by the group of mild reservations
list Republicans who served notice on
the Republican and Democratic lead
ers that they would not put up the bars
entirely to modification of the COM
mittee reservations, but would stand
out against and defeat the Admins
trations parliamentary program.
With this final announcement OF
how their deciding strength would
be used in the closing stages of the
treaty contest, the mild reservations
lists retired to the background. The
result was that Republican Leader
Lodge and Democratic Leader Hitch
cock faced each other and laid all
their cards on the table.
The conference between the two
leaders brought no final decision as
to the language of a compromise rat
ification but it did develop an agree
ment that the Democrats would have
the opportunity for which they have
fought to obtain a showdown vote on
the question OF unreserved ratifica-
tion. This vote Mr. Lodge said would
he permitted before the rollcall on
the committee resolution.
Meantime, in the Senate two more
reservations were added to the IS al
ready adopted. The mild reservation
lists supported them as the final quail
iflcations which they would help to
write into the treaty, but the Senate
extended its session far into the even
ing, voting down numerous other pro.
posals in an effort to clear the way
before adjournment for work tomor-
row on the ratification resolution it.

The two reservations adopted today
