DEFEAT FOR EXTREMISTS

Mr.. Ashurst States Position.

Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona,
rose to a question of personal priv
ilege in the Senate today and said a
recent statement in a New York paper
regarding his position on reservations
was erroneous. The newspaper report
named Mr.. Ashurst, Senator Culber-
son, democrat, Texas, and others as
prospective supporters of reserva-
tons.
# have never said what was going
to do. whether I would vote for or
against the treaty or reservations"
said Mr.. Ashurst. He also said that in
behalf of Senator Culberson the re-
port was wholly unauthorized and
did not represent the Texas members

Two Kinds of Reservationists.

1t falls out that there are two
classes of reservationists among both
democrats and republicans. That is
to say. there are democrats such as
Senators Reed, Gore, Thomas and
Shields. who would prefer strong
reservations. Then there are demo-
Gratis such as Senators Pittman, Sim
mons, Smith of Georgia and others
who would insist upon mild reserva-
tions. "A similar division appears in
the ranks of the republicans.
1t seems the leaders who are keeping
tab on the sentiment as it develops
and, it may be added. also, as it changes
frequently-that the mild reservationists
hold the balance of power in the Senate,
and that in the end they will have to be
reckened with before anything can be
ACCOMPLISHED.

Report on Treaty Tomorrow.

| While the report on the treaty will be
| made tomorrow, it is thought consid-
Grafton of the treaty by sections will
not commence before Monday next A
| few long speeches are apprehended and
the debate promises to be lively enough
| and bitter enough But 1t is expected
| to be mainly of rapid-fire character
rather than by heavy siege guns, ex-
| cept in the case of Senator La Toilette,
who is understood to have several long
! speeches.
! Meantime. almost. continuous con-
/ ferences are being held among groups
and factions in the Senate, all look
ing to the one Contemporaries. The
latest proposed compromise on article
10 (the guaranteeing of political in
tegrity of foreign nations by this gov
ernment) is advanced by Senator
Kellogg. prominent in the group Of
mild" reservationists.
His idea is that the section should
declare the limitations of the Consti-
tuition of the United States as affect
ing such a proposed guarantee. The
committees amendment carried out
right refusal to concur in such
guarantee.

Consider What Is Possible.

| 1t is not what they would like to
get in the Presidents behalf that they
are considering now, but what it may
be possible to secure.
Meantime, they have no objection to
| the Presidents insisting to the last
upon his original treaty, but they
| know that insistence is changing no
votes in the Senate.
AS for the other side of the shield,
Senator Lodge will be unable to carry
through the drastic reservations re-
ported from the committee on foreign
relations, it is asserted by we'll in
formed senators in both camps.
1t is decided with positiveness
based upon asserted knowledge of
all the features of the case by these
senators that Senator Lodge will be
compelled to consent to a modifica-
ton of the committees reservation
apply to article X. 1t is too dras-
tic for even some of his republican
l. colleagues, it is declared, and will
! certainly ALLEVIATE some democratic
support now inclined to mild reser-
vationS.
