SENATE HAS ADOPTED
ART. 10 RESERVATION
Wilson Has Said This Would Mean
Rejection of Peace Treaty-Vote
Was 46 to 33.

WASHINGTON Nov. l4-Squarely
Joining the issue with President Will
son. the senate adopted yesterday a res
ervation qualifying the obligations of
the United States under Article 10 of
the league of nations covenant. A
solid Republican lineup, reinforced by
four Democratic votes, put the reser
walton across exactly as it came from
the foreign relations committee and in
virtually the language which the Pres
ident declared on his western tour
would cut the heart out of the covenant
and mean the rejection of the treaty
The vote by which the reservation won
was 46 to 80.
The fight for reservations having
thus been carried to climax, the Re
publicans presented for future action
cloture proposal designed to bring
final action on the question of ratifica-
ton within a week.
A vote on the question of clamping
down a eloture on debate will come
| SATURDAY. morning and the Republican
| leaders say it will depend entirely on
| the Democrats whether the move raj
| les the necessary two-thirds to make
cloture effective.
| The Article 10 reservation as adopt
| ed by the senate follows:
| 1.-THE United States assumes no OBJ
| legation to preserve the territorial in
teerity or political independence of
any other country or to interfere with
controversies between nations - whe
/ Their members of the league or not
under the provisions of Article 10, or
to employ the military or naval forces
of the United States under any article
Of the treaty for any purpose unless
III any particular ease the congress.
which under the constitution has the
sole power to declare war or authorize
the employment of the military or ma
val forces of the United States, shall
by act or Joint resolution so provide"
In only two particulars does this
language differ from the proposed res
ervation which the president declared
at Cheyenne, Wyo., he would be obliged
to regard as a rejection.
4 AS read by Mr. Wilson the phrase
"under the provisions of Article 10'
occurred at a different place and the
final word provide was changed to
" declare. -
