.PACT'S FRIENDS
TO CHOKE DEBATE
cIoTuRE RULE MAY BE INV
TO STOP ENDLESS DEBl
in THE SENATE
FILIBUsTER is COMMENCED
Night Sessions Started to Hasten
Treaty Action.-Senator Lodge Re-
fuses to Take Part in Move
ment to Get More Speed

Washington Nov. 13-Summary &C
ton to choke debate on the peace
treaty was decided on by the treaty's
friends in the senate yesterday to
meet developments regarded by many
senators as the beginning of filibus-
ter against ratification.
Two petitions to invoke the SEN
ate's cloture rule, which never here
tofore has been used, were prepared
for submission today should it become
apparent that dilatory tactics have
been adopted by the group irreconcil-
ably opposed to the treaty. The first
proposal was drawn by the Democrats
and the other was formulated last
night by the mild reservation group
of Republicans.
Under the rule, which could be
made effective beginning Saturday by
a two-thirds vote, no senator could
speak more than one hour in all until
a vote on ratification had been reach
ed. No specific time could be set
under the provision for such vote
but the leaders predicted that it would
force final action, if resorted to, early
next week.
To further hasten the treaty. it was
tentatively agreed to hold night ses-
sions beginning tonight.
The movement for cloture was start
ed after Senator Reed, Democrat, of
Missouri, had launched into another
long speech attacking the treaty, and
O. #
France of Maryland, Republicans. had
indicated they were ready to continue
the fight as soon as the Missouri SEN
ator concluded. Senator Reed occu-
pied all of yesterdays three-hour ses-
sion and intimated that he would con-
tinue for several hours today.
Suspecting that the long anticipated
filibuster was on, Senator Hitchcock
Of Nebraska, the acting Democratic
leader, and Senator Underwood, Dem
ocrat of Alabama, circulated on the |
side a petition for clOture. |
1t soon had more than twice the 16 |
signatures needed TO secure vote on |
invocation of the rule.
The Republicans acted more slowly, j
the mild reservation group being fear
full of alternating the irreconcilables, |
on whose votes they are counting for a
safe majority to put over the reserva-
ton program of the foreign relations
Later In the day. however,
Senator Hale Of Maine, one of the
mild reservation Republicans, passed
around a petition and got the requisite
number of signers.

REDS USING MEXICO AS
MAIN INLET TO AMERICA
Large Orders for Arms in Europe Are
Placed From That Country.-Radi-
Gals Enter U. S. Across Border

Washington, Nov. 15-Disclosures of
large orders for arms and ammunition
palced by Mexico In Europe, were fol
lowed yesterday by revelations tending
to show that the reds" underground
line from soviet Russia to the United
States runs by way of Mexico.
1t became known that the immi-
grafton service and the department
of justice are both concerned at the
influx of Russian radicals and other
aliens of red tendencies over the
Mexican border. Furthermore, gov
eminent agents have traced much red
propaganda over the Mexican line.
A letted written October % by
Ramon P. DeNegri, Mexican consul
general in New York, to Flavia Bor-
quez, a Mexican senator endorsing
the principle of naturalization, has
come into the hands of the govern
ment and already has been called to
the attention of the state department
by at least two senator's as showing
DeNegri's association with radical So
cialists in the United States.
In the opinion of officials here the
publication of DeNegri's letter may
lead to an embarrassing situation. 1t
is known that the senators who called
the attention of Secretary Lansing to
it recommended cancellation of the
consul generals exequator.
Government investigators have re-
ported that radicals seemed to have
been first attracted to Mexico by GER
tain so-called "ultra-modern" provi-
sions of the new constitution. De-
Negri in his letter writes that ''only
Russia, by Matchmaking lands has
gone further than we have"
Government officials also have
gathered evidence showing distribu-
ton of red propaganda in the United
States through Mexican sources and
this is expected to be shown publicly |
soon.
