 Seeking Compromises
 Before congress convones, it was said, administration senators will con fer and 1t is possible that the mild reservationists on the republican side will participate with q view to work ing, out an acceptable compromise on reservations
 Regardless of who is selected to succeed the late Senator Martin, a democratic leader in the senate there will be no change in the leadership In the treaty fight, 1t was said, at the White House. President Wilson con- siders that Senator Hitchcock Of Ne braska has conducted the fight ably and sees no reason why he should not again lead the administration forces.
 Underwood Mentioned.
 Senator Underwood of Alabama whose name has been mentioned prominently in connection with the democratic leadership called at the White House today to see Secretary Tumulty.
 Action by the supreme council at Paris in fixing December l as the date for formal proclamation of D state of peace between tho powers ratifying the treaty for Versailles full filled the expectations of administra- tions officials. After the senate had ended its special session without rati- flying the treaty the general feeling : here was that Europe would not wait longer for this country's decision. ' Were Waiting for U. $. Under the treaty's provisions. the exchange of notifications could rliave been made us soon as three of the great powers had ratified. but the date was delayed, 1t was announced large i ly because 1t was desired to have tho United States q party from the first. All four of the other great powers 1 Great Britain, France, Italy and Ja- pan now have ratified.

 For the establShm ent of the leagu @ no definite time is stipulated in the 1 treaty, but tho inference generally ! drawn is that it will be set up at once. There arc many references to 1 subjects upon which it must pass ! within a flow weeks from the coming into effect of the treaty.
 Definite time limits. to be reckoned from that date, are stipulated, how ever. for the execution of many of the | treaty provisions These various commissions, including that which is to take charge of Saar Basin and that which is to delimit the Polish German | frontier are to be set up within 15 days of the establishment of peace. Must Reduce German Army. Within three months the German | army must be reduced to 200, ,O00 efec- l tives all unauthorized munitions plants must be closed. Germany must hand over all her military and naval l aeronautical equipm ent, including the l remnants of her proud Zeppelin fleet, and must modify her laws to conform ] with various treaty provisions. 1 The time limit for reduction of the l German navy personnel to it's pre- scribed strength is two months ana | by the same date the German WarshlFs l named in the treaty must be dehVereu l to the Allies One month 1S the lmlt l for delivery of the last scrap of sub f|ortinvo1 o,, JIleyenth Page)
