By JUSTIN McGRATH

Washington. Aug. 2S.-The treaty
of peace viii stand or fall by the de-
cision reached in the Shantung

Both sides admit this to be the
fact
Senator Swanson. with whom
President Wilson consulted yesterday,
making special trip TO the capitol
for that purpose, after admitting that
the vote on the Shantung amendment
would he decisive OF the treaty's fate
said this afternoon:
But I am absolutely certain the
opposition will not be able to muster
the necessary vote to adopt the
amendment
Leading opponents OF the treaty
confirmed the statement of Senator
Swanson that there are not enough
votes to adopt the amendment IL the
yotr were to be taken tomorrow, but
they expressed confidence that there
weuid be enough votes in its favor by
the -ime the vote was reached.
This means that the Republican
policy will be to delay the vote until
every possible effort has been made
- influence public sentiment against
the provision.
The Republican senate leaders be-
lieve delay Is certain 10 swell the tide
