that "the situation with reference to

The renewed absence of the Presi-

to place into effect the measures

BY n. O. MESSENGER.

Democratic leaders in the Senate
continued today to view with COM
placency. not to say satisfaction anu
undisguised delight, what they de-
scriDed as tne steady drift Of the re-
pdLIicaI, Leadership toward an ultl-
mate situation looking to an admin
istration victory on the league OF ma
tions They distinguish between the
republican leadership" and the nody
of republicans because their polls and
canvasses, indicate. they say. that on
the final "show- down the leadership
will not have the full republican FOL
lowing.
The democrats are convinced that
when the straight issue arises of
vote on ratification of the treaty or
its rejection. the republicans Will hot
be able to muster the votes to defeat
the treaty of peace, They believe that
the present course of the leadership
tends to present that straight issue
in the end, when teXtual amendments
have been voted down and possibly
after the republicans have been un-
able to agree upon reservations, IN
their form, or possibly in their man
ner of incorporation in the treaty.
Shantung Amendment Defeat Seen.
The first blow which the DEMOCRATS
expect the republicans will receive
will be in the Senate's voting down
the Shansung amendment to the
treaty proposed by the committee on
foreign relations. This will be the
first disparagement. they say, of thes
prestige of the foreign relations COM
mittee. and it will be followed. they
predict, by similar action as to other
proposed textual amendments. The
democrats will then be emboldened to
resist placing the proposed reserva-
tions in the body of the treaty. On
that issue the outcome may be more
doubtful, it is admitted.
Hardly any one can be found around
the Senate who really believes the
Committees Shahtung amendment
will be accepted, outside of the small
group of senators intent upon killing
the treaty. The proposition has been
made SO plain that adoption of the
amendment will not save Shantung to
China, but will only enrage Japan and
offend France and England, that no
one beyond this handful of senators
thinks 1t will obtain. Conservative

passage of the amendment to the food

penalties for profiteering. The law
will not be retroactive. however, it
was pointed out today. and no prose-
