SMALLEST MAJORITY AGAINST
SENATE PROPOSALS is
is, LARGEST 2s.
NINE REMAINING AMENDMENTS
Seventeen Republicans Line Up
Against Changes-Two Dem
ocrats Favor Them.

Washington, Oct. 3.-At last
reaching the stage of action in its
consideration of the peace treaty,
the senate yesterday swept aside in
quick succession thirty-six Of the
forty-five amendments which had
been written in to the document by
the foreign relations committee.
The smallest majority recorded
against any of the committee pro-
posals was Is and the largest was
%. All of the amendments consid-
cred had been introduced by Sena.
tor Fall, Republican, New Mexico
and were designed to curtail Ameri'
can participation in European settle
mcnts resulting from the war.
Of the nine amendments yet to b'
acted on, six relate to the Shan
tung section, two propose to equal
ize voting power in the League Of
Nations, and one would limit Amer
lean representation on the repara-
tions commission. In the absence of
a definite agreement for the .dispo-
sition Of these proposals, senate
leaders thought tonight that the de-
bate might run on for several days
before another roll call is taken.
Throughout the days voting the
Democrats presented a solid front
against the amendments except foI
Senator Gore of Oklahoma anC
Thomas of Colorado. Seventeen
Republicans n the other hand lineC
up against the first committee pro.
posal to be considered and most OF
them stood with the Democrats on
scheduling roll calls. Many of them
announced they were for reserva-
tions they believed would cover the
same ground without endangering
the treaty.
At adjournment the treaty advo-
Gates declared themselves elated at
the days work and the opposition
leaders were also claiming a victory
on the showing made for their amend
ments.

There is no divorce in the union of
