Peace Delegates Completing the
League of Nations Plan and
Treaty Together.
OPPOSING SENATORS FIRM
japan Modifies Her Race Equality
Anendment-Bol Lose In
North and Win in Ukraine
Stirring Up More Trouble
in Other Lands.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Seemingly convinced that, by some
means not yet revealed, the opposition
of large part of the American senate
can be overcome, the peace delegates
in Paris went ahead last week with
the work of welding the treaty and the
league of nations plan. President
Wilson declared there was no inten-
ton of handling the two matters sep
arately. and In this he was supported
by others Of the leaders. 1t was admit
ted that the league plan would have
to he amended In various particulars,
and that the American delegates had
made up their minds to accept a GER
tain limited number of changes. Per
haps it was believed these alterations,
which probably will not be at all radi-
cal would satisfy the Directing sena-
tors. Their attitude and language do
not tend to justify that belief.
Some Of the correspondents in Paris
fear that insistence on joining the
covenant of the league with the peace
treaty will delay the latter. Others,
equally well informed, assert that the
difficulties will be speedily removed,
intimating that the principles of the
league, in so far as they have been
generally accepted, all be incorporat-
ed in the treaty and that differences
Of opinion regarding specific parts of
the covenant will be recognized and

Thus, they think, President Wilson
and the supporters Of his plan will be
satisfied and the opposition in Ameri-
ca and elsewhere placated.
The specific changes demanded by
the opposing senators have not been
made public except in a scattering
way, but courier is on his way to
Paris bearing lene ny statement for
the French and British press prepared
by Senator Poindexter. The senator's
intend to escape any possible cable
censorship by sending all their COM
munications by courier. Meanwhile
they are d, ending their stand before
the American public In speeches and
debates, the most interesting of the
latter being between Senator Lodge
and President Lowell of Harvard uni
versity. Lodge said he favored a
league Of nations, but not the cove
nant as presented. He declared the
whole treaty should be redrafted, but
did not believe that would be done in
Paris. Senator Reed violently at.
tackled the league plan in speech be-
fore the Missouri legislature, where
upon fifty Democratic members of that
body formally demanded his resigna.
ton. That is fair sample of the in.
tolerance displayed by the strongest
partisans of both sides In the DISPUTE
Several rather startling suggestions
have been made by the senator's who
are fighting the Wilson plan, Lenroot
of Wisconsin proposes that the senate
adopt a resolution declaring the war
with Germany terminated and then
proceed to formulate a peace treaty.

The completed peace treaty, II Is
asserted in Paris, will be ready by
April l for presentation to the Ger
man plenipotentiaries. At the time OF
writing 1t was not clear whether this
pact would be preliminary treaty or
the final instrument, or a renewal of
the strongest provisional armlstlce In
any case, many important matters
were yet to be settled. These included
numerous boundary disputes, in the
discussion of which Mr.. Wilson was
taking leading part. According TO
report, he told Premier Clemenceau he
would not support Frances demands
concerning the disposition of the west
bank of the Rhine, and the Tiger"
thereupon tried TO resign, but was dis
suaded by Premier Poincare, who
showed him France could not get along
without the support Of America, no
matter what notifications Mr.. Wilson
might demand In the French program
for the treatment of Germany. Next.
President Wilson conferred with Prime
Minister Orlando Of Italy. and, II was
believed, arranged for a compromise
by which Italy will get Fiume and sur
render her claim to the Dalmatian
coast which the Jugo- Slavs demand.
This plan Is opposed by Foreign Min
lister Sonnino and his party and by
much of the population of DalmatIa.
The western boundary of Poland has
not been definitely determined, though

EXTENDS LEASE

The following item will be of inter-
est to those who have been watching
the oil game in this section. 1t has
been reported that gas had been
found in the tests in Cimarron county
but this is the first time the fact has
been published.
This is moving production closer
to this section than ever before and
will be big boost to the oil PROPOSE
ton being backed by Liberal people
who believe this will one day be an
oil country.
"Oklahoma City, Feb. 15.-Pas-
sage by the senate of joint resolu-
ton automatically extending state oil
and gas leases held by ]. S. Harris
and Aruthr O'Dell on 10000 acres
of Cimarron county land, was indi-
Gated when the upper house, 81 to
10, adopted a majority committee re-
port and ordere the measure to the
calendar.
"The leases expire in 1921. The
resolution commentaries them at
once and directs the state school land
commissioner to make the automatic
extension effective. Without the
resolution the leases will be put up
to the highest bidder at their expira-
ton as most every other state-grant-
ed lease.
Arguments that Harris and O'Dell
had expended $4,000 in drilling
two tests, from 40 to 60 miles from
railroad and 200 miles from pro-
duction were those which apparently
influenced the senate.
"A showing of gas has been found
in both tests, one of which was put
down on each of the two great tracts
into which the 100000 acres was di-
vided.
Senator J. T. Mcintosh, Durant
supporting the minority report which
was adverse to the resolution de-
clared he had been informed by an
oil man that the latter was willing
to bid $4,000 bonus for lease on
the huge tract.
Mcintosh, Tucker, Ardmore and
Draughon, Sulphur hammered on the
contention that extending the leases
automatically was robbing the school
fund of whatever bonus competitive
bidding would produce"

the production, and that they are not
carrying much on hand, since the ord
