final question of ratification vote to
throw the entire treaty out"
Senator Borah expressed a similar
view of the situation, although de-
cltning to be quoted. He has had a
number of conferences with Sena-
tors on the subject. including Sena-
tors on the Democratic side. In
fact. it is stated that the number
or Democratic Senators who at
heart are opposed to the treaty and
would welcome its utter rejection
would be surprising even to the
President IL their true position
could be made known.
During the coming week the fight
over the treaty may be expected to
assume an entirely new phase. 1t
can be definitely stated that the
time has passed when either the
President or his immediate support
Ss might look for ratification
without amendment.
The President has been offered a
list of thirty-five Senators who will
refuse to vote for the treaty unless
it is radically changed. These
thirty-five represent the irreducibIe
minimum of Senators who will take
this stand: there will be more, it is
confidently stated by anti-league
Senators. il an attempt is made to
force the issue on ratifying without
reservation or rejecting the treaty
entire.
Reservations Certain.
As one of the leaders in the fight
against the treaty expressed IT yes
terday afternoons:
THE President and his supporters
know that they will be beaten IL
they try to force through the treaty
without amendments. I venture to
say that the idea OF putting II
through in that form has been aban-
doned by the President and his man
ayers: they know they can save the
treaty only by accepting reserva-
tions. So the fight is going to sim
ner down to a proposition OF at
tempting to dilute the reservations
and make them effective. The ques-
ton from now on is going to be how
far will the President be willing to

The change in the situation brought
about by the steadfastness of the op-
position may make it necessary for

here to direct the fight. These Sena-
tors are of the opinion that the Pres
ident could do more here to create
favorable sentiment for the treaty
than he could by building backfires
against the opposition Senators in
their home States.
Thre is a general belief that the
President will not make the trip for

Williams won the opening set, GO,
but took the second only after the
most spirited fight imaginable by
12-10. Niles then rallied and squared
the match by winning the next two
sets at Cd. The fifth and conclud-

Harte qualified for the challenge
finals by trimming Charles Garland,

he won in four sets. He took the
opening set, Is, but lost the sec
onw, 4-6. The third set, which went
twenty-five games and which Harte
won, 12-10 took a lot of the pep
