 IN SENATE ON PEACE TREATY

Washington, Aug. Is (By the A. P.) The trend toward agreement on res eryaIons in the peace treaty reached the stage today where the group Of vatlons received assurances which they accepted as guaranteeing demo- cratic assent to theIr program.
 N ord reached members of the group, IL was said. that as soon as they could pledge a Score of repu blican votes for reservations to the league of nations covenant along the line recently agreed on by seven republican sena- torss. the admins Jration forces in the senate would be willing to l.ne up on that basis for ratification of the treaty.
 There was an intimation also that the reservationists had reason to be- Heve their ranks eventually would in- clude Senator Lodge chairman of the foreign relations comn4Itee and re- publican leader Of the senate.
 Twenty republ cans. it was declared would be enough. with the admins tratlon- democrats, ito make up the tTo-thirds necessary for ratification. The program on which it is sought to unite these clements contemplates res- ervations to further protect the Mon- roe doctrine. to insure dome estic control over domestic questions, to amplify the right of withdrawal and to fortify the power of congress to decide que lions Of peace or war under article 1 0.
 It was declared the informa ton that democrats were in rePeDtive mood toward such a proposal did not come from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska the administration leader. but from source considered entirely authorita- tive.
 Meantime. however at a meeting of the foreign relations committee, Sena- tor Hitchcock gave notice that unless the committed completed without un- cue delay it's consideration of the treaty. some independent action might he, n%<I In the suggestion for speedy action Chairman Lodge concurred and the upshot of heated discussion was an announcement that the committee would begin tomorrow the considera- ton of proposed amendments
 Although Senator Hitchcock. said no definite plan for independent senate action had been formulated. it is the treaty away from the committee and bringing it to a vote has been discussed informally in many confer ences among senators.
 Among many senators the days de- velopments were interpreted as mark ing the beginning of the end of the long treaty fight.
 The situation in the committee may De brought to head by a letter of Senators Johnson and Borah asking that further witnesses be called. The question probably will come up tomor- row. Senators Fall, republican. New Aex1co- and Moses, republican, New Hampshire, also are understood to have suggested calling more witnesses at tcday's meeting. Senator Fall also Is said to have declared the commit tee could not be expected to pass in tellfgently on all the obliga tions em- bodied in the treaty until the other treaties being negotiated at Versailles were before it. ~
 Senator Hitchcock told the commit tee that virtually every senator had made up his mind how he would vote and that the country wanted the treaty disposed of one way or another.
