Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The lone treaty fight in the senate is about to enter it's final phase. Leaders hope during the coming week to clear away all proposed amendments and to make substantial progress in the framing of a ratification resolution
 Virtually conceding that no amend ments will be adopted, the opposition managers are determined to qualify the ratifying resolution with reserva tions and Senator Lodge. he republican leader, declared in a statement tonight that a decisive majority would stand for reservations that would be .'un- equivocal and effective"
 Had Understanding
 Practically all of the opposition lead CTS declared that MT. Lodges claim was backed by an understanding amounting virtually to a complete agreement among all of the 49 re- publicans and six democrats to stand together for a reservation program evolved after many weeks of confer ences. It was said not all of the de- tails had been argued upon although in some occasions in phraseology itself the 55 senators had been brought very closely together. How far the remaining Al senators will go in their opposition to reserva- l tion is an uncertain question even in 1 the minds of some of their leaders. They have stood unswervingly through the long fight for President Wilson's l program of a ratification that would not require the treaty's resubimssion i to the other powers. But it is for the i president himself to decide finally whether any reservations adopted do 1 eli nd hi ness has left the administration lead CTS somewhat in the dark.
 There have been intimations that 1 should reservations unacceptable to i the administration be put into the rati- fication resolution the administration forces would vote mo" on the ratifica- ton roll call, but their leaders are not ready to say how they will cross that i bridge until they come to it. It would take only 3S votes to prevent ratifica- tion.
 In his statement tonight. Senator Lodge declared opponents of reserva- tions would be responsible for any further delay in senate action, indicat- ing that the whip would be applied to hold down debate. Quick action also 1 is a slogan of the administration forces. Their hope is to get started tomorrow on the last of the committee amendments, proposing equalization of voting power in the league of nations
 Senator Lodges statement follows:
 To Americanize Treaty
 "A decisive majority of the senate will vote for reservations, attached to the resolution of ratification, which will protect the peace, safety, sove- reignty and independence of the United States
 ''The one object of the senators is tc Americanize the treaty and they be- lieve that by so doing they will also serve the cause of general peace of the world Whatever delay there may be in final action upon the treaty will be caused by those who are resisting the Americanization of the treaty by proper reservation . reserva : tions at once unequivocal and effec- tive'
 The two amendments for equaliza tion of voting strength in the league may be considered together, though il is thought more likely that, the one proposed by Senator Johnson. repub- lican, California, to give the United States six votes in the league assembly will be taken up first. The other is by Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire and would prevent Britisf dominions from sitting in the league council.
 About three hours work remains tC finish the formal reading of the treat, text, and 1t is the purpose to take III these two amendments immediatei, after. The general prediction is tha,
 both of the proposals. as well as othe
 amendments to be offered by individ ual senators later, will be defeated.
