TREATY VOTEBY NOV. |
Senate Expects Final Disposition
of Pact By That Date.
Leaders Discuss Closing of Session for
Thirty Day Rest Before
Regular Session.

Washington, Oct. 6.-With DISPOSE
ton of the peace treaty expected by
November /. congressional leaders are
discussing prospects of closing the ex-
t%raordinary session, which began May
10, so as to have a months rest before
the regular December session begins.
The amendment relating to Shan
tung is to be taken Up at once with
a vote expected in a few days. Amend
ments by Senators Johnson, Califor-
mia, and Moses, New Hampshire, Re-
publicans, to equalize votes of the
United States and Great Britain in the
league of nations are to follow. Lead
ers hope that by the middle of next
week all amendments will be disposed
of. Reservations then will be consid-
cred.
President Wilson's illness may have
an effect on the treaty situation. 1t
is not expected to u any substan-
tial delay in considering the pact
while the amendments are before the
senate, but when reservations are
reached the Presidents counsel is
deemed necessary, as Democratic
leaders have not had opportunity to
discuss with him what reservations
would be acceptable.
