Washington. Sept 25.-Whie the
German peace treaty received only brief
consideration in the senate. today, out
side developments indicated that the fac
tions were lining UP for the real fight
over the league Of nations covenant.
The outstanding feature Of the day
was the announcement by Senator John
son, republican, California. that he would
leave tomorrow for the Pacific coast to
keep up his attack On the treaty, which
was accepted to mean finally that his
proposed amendment to equalize the vot
ing power of the United States and
Great Britain would not be called for
weeks hence.
Another feature was the news that
Senator Ashurst, democrat Arizona, had
telegraphed President Wilson that he
would vote for ratification of the treaty,
believing he could render the country
and the world he said a great service
by accepting it, without amendment or
reservation.

VOTES TO AMEND TREATY

Same as Wilson S: To Create Sentiment for
His Cause; Can't Win Out Now

Senator Ienroot republican, Wiscon-
sin, reiterated that he would not vote
to ratify the treaty if, under article ten.
the United States was obligated to send
its troops abroad to preserve the terri
torial integrity Of members of the league.
Senator New, republican, Indiana, and
Senator Smith, democrat, Maryland, di-
vided the debate of the day.
In the house. Representative King,
republican, Illinois, introduced resolu-
tion proposing the support of the body
for the senator's standing for Ameri-
canism.' The resolution was thrown in
the hopper without discussion.
Regarding Senator Johnson's decision
TO resume his western speaking trip,
the general talk was that republican
