SENATE REPUBLICANS SHOW THEIR
MAJORITY FOR THE RESERVATION

WASHINGTON. Nov. The first az
hrmative step toward qualification OF
the peace treaty was taken today by the
senate after administration leaders. with
the backing of President Wilson. had re-
affirmed their intention Of voting
against ratification II the reservations
drawn by the senate majority arc
adopted.
The initial test Of strength on the
reservation program OF the foreign rcla-,
tions committee found the Republicans
almost solidly united behind it. the
group Of mild rcServationistS who help
ed kill the committees amendments and
the irrrconcilablc group of treaty foes
standing together for the first timo
since the long treaty fight began.
BY n vote Of IS to 40 the senate ap-
proved. after all efforts to amend II had
failed. the committees preamble TO the
reservation group requiring that 10
make the treaty binding at least three
Of the four great powers must accept
the senate qualifications. The only Re-
publican who did not swing into line for
the prdRosal was Senator McCumbcr of
North Dakota. while three Democrats
Senator's Reed. Missouri: Gore. Okla
homa. and Walsh. Observation-Disclosures
with the majority.
The West Virginians.
Senator's Elkins. West Virginia. and
Knox. Pennsylvania. Republicans. voted
for adoption. Senator's Penrosc. Penn
sylvania. and Sutherland. West Virginia,
Republicans. were paired and recorded
for adoption.
When adjournment was reached the
first Of the fourteen reservations was
under debate. and Republican leaders
were claiming they had safe matorities
pledged for the entire group. The mild
rcservationiSts. 1t was declared, had
turncd down a new Democratic ofrer Of
compromise, while the irreconcilable
wing was devising plan OF action by
which they hoped to defeat the treaty
entirely The best claim made by the
administration forces was that the
treaty would be wed Ced into deadlock
which in the end would make COM
promise inevitable.
Tho plan to vote against the treaty
and thus deadlock the ratification fight
was declared TO have President Wilson'S
unqualified support.
Saw the President.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, the
democratic leader. saw the president
during the day for the first time since
Mr.. Wilson returned from his speaking
tour. and went over with him the entire
situation surrounding the treaty in the
senate. Aftcrward Mr.. Hitchcock said
the executive regarded the committee
reservations as obstructive" and tn"
preamble as very embarrassing. and
advised the administration senators to
stand by their guns.
The president was said 10 have as
serted An agg:CSSiv" opposition 10 &C
ccptancc Of reservations which would
impair the treaty. but to har" shown
willingness to leave the matter Of a
compromise in the hands Of the admin
istratjrn senator's to be worked out after
IN" deadlock stag had been reached
Mr. Wilson explained. Senator Hitchcock
said. that he had sent for tho admits
traiion leader to give. assurance of his
support in the contemplated program.

gave them little books with their names
