TEST VOTE ON
TREATY SOON
First Lineup in Senate Will Likely
Come on Amendment
Shortly.
REAL BATTLE BEGINS
Adherents and Opponents Both Ger
tain of Getting Majority as
Continuous Considera-
ton Begins.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The Republi-
eau leaders have made ready for the
first voting test in a few days on the
German peace treaty and its league
At nations covenant.
Senator Lodge declared there would
Ne no vote on amendments at once,
and opponents of the league were pre-
pared to resist attempts to force one
ey Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
'eader of the administrations fight for
~ratiication.
The treaty was called up for con-
sideration after a two-day Interrupt
ton, for continuous consideration.
Actual reading of the pact, which
stopped after Article 3 OF the league
covenant had been reached, is con-
~siderably more of a job than the man
not familiar with senatorial discussion
of international questions might i'm
agne. The printed text makes a book
almost as big and quite as heavy as a
New York city telephone directory.
Every line of it must be read, with
endless debate on some sections, run
ming, perhaps into weeks. Its size and
also Importance, explains why sena-
tors generally decline to predict how
long it may be before finally voted on.
1t is the intention of Chairman
Lodge, in charge of the treaty, to call
it up every day not later than 2 o'clock.
An amendment by Senator Moses, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire, relating
to adjudication of disputes referred to
the assembly will be reached after a
10-minute reading of the league coven-
ant text. Opponents of the covenant
said the reading would be halted at
that point for quite a bit of discussion.

NELSON AGAINST
LOOGE PROWSO
Minnesota Senator Opposes Res
ervatioE Proposed to Article
Ten of Pact.
STRONGLY DENOUNCED
Says Proposed Change In Treaty ID
Unworthy the American People
Approves Maintaining
Troops In Russia.

Washington, Sept. 20.--In a speech
to the senate, Senator Knute Nelson
Of Minnesota announced bluntly that
he will refuse to support the second
reservation in the peace treaty re-
ported by the foreign relations com
mittee, in which the United States
declines to assume, under the proyi.
sions of Article 10, ANY obligation to
preserve the territorial integrity or
political independence of any other
country" etc.
The reservation was strongly de-
nounced by Senator Nelson as nwo
thy OF America. his Interpretation be-
ing that 1t would commit the United
States to an abandonment OF the new
ly created independence Of Poland
and Czecho-Slovakia. This step, he
insisted, was akin to the act of a
mother who abandoned her babe to
strangers, and left It without a trace
Of herself.
Incidentally Senator Nelson defend
ed the maintenance Of American
troops In Russian territory at this
time. and said he had never been able
to reconcile himself to the clamor In
regard to that policy.
II think the American soldiers were
r~ightfully there and that 1t would
have been wiser to have aided them
TO a greater extent in accomplishing
the relief OF Russia" said Senator
Nelson. 1T Is true some OF our sol
diers who have been over in Russia
are homesick and anxious TO get
home; that is the case with most sol
diers when there is no fighting to do.
AS 500 al the fighting was done In
the Argonne. in November, 1918. our
soldiers were eager to get back -
homesick as It were-still no one can
criticize our soldiers In Siberia for be-
Ing homesick and anxious to return
home. Yet | feel that the Allies have
been guilty OF, Internationally per-
haps, %prolonging the sufferings OF
Russia.

to follow the same general plan as

Regarding the change on the Bull

es are to the south, where Bulgaria
cedes Western Thrace to the principal
Allied and associated powers. and
agrees to accept whatever disposition
of this territory the powers ultimately
decide, but it is stipulated that in any
event Bulgaria's western frontiers
shall be modified slightly in four places
to Serbia's advantage.
The Bulgarians are required to
recognize the independence of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovene states.
