| rage OLS-( 1 ing the labor provisions and equality of voting in the League of Nations. The first subject to come up was the labor section of the treaty, to which a number of reservations were proposed. Senator Thomas, Demo- crat, Colorado, opening the debate, declared he would vote against rat ification if the labor provisions were not changed.
 Republican senators of the mild
 reservation group agreed at a con- ference today, their spokesman said, to vote with other Republicans to
 overturn the proposed ruling of Vice
 President Marshall, which would per- init Administration Leader Hitchcock to offer substitute resolutions of rati- fication for the Lodge reservation. The mild reservationists" also were said to have agreed that after injection of the Lodge resolution they would support a resolution to recon sider. At this point, it was said,
 compromise substitute resolutions could be offered.
 When the Senate began work today the secretary's record of time used under the cloture rule showed that
 only 35 of the 95 Senators had talk ed, with an average of 4A minutes
 each. Several, however, had used nearly all of the hour allotted to each Senator under cloture. While this would show that less than three hours had been exhausted of the possible maximum of 95 hours debate, it does not take into consid-
 eration the Senators who may not talk at all or may use only a small portion of their time, and forms no basis for an estimate as to when the debate will end.

 with meaning; It speaks of moonlight, and a closing
 door; Of birds at dawn-of sultry after Gardens, I seem to see low branches
 screening A vine-roofed arbor with Ieaf-tiled
 floor. Where sunlight swoons. Stairways. The word winds upward
 to landing. Then curves and vanishes in space
 above. Lights fall, lights rise; soft lights
 that meet and blend Stairways; and some one at the bot
 tom standing Expectantly with lifted looks of love Then steps descend. Gardens and stairways. They belong

The alarming news comes at a mo-

near victory over the Reds. His juno

Russia had come to be a foregone
conclusion.
As yet. the news of the sudden dis

as saying the admiral has sent an
