EXPECTS DEFEAT.
|OF AMENDMENTS
Senate Prepares for Meeting
Disputed Question Of
Reservations.
DISPUTE WILSON'S RIGHT
(sy J. BART cAMPBELL.)

Washington, Oct 20.-U. N. S)-l
With the expected defeat this weel
Of the last proposed textual amend
ments to the German peace treaty
the senate soon will reach the much
disputed question of Incorporating
reservations In the resolution of rati-
fication. Upon this all-im2 2ortant
question will hinge the ratification or
rejection Of the treaty by the senate,
or its withdrawal by the president.
Some republican senators dispute
the PRESIDENTS right to withdraw the
treaty from the senate IL two-thirds
Of that body refuse to ratify it in ac-
cordance with often expressed de-
mands that no reservations be en-
bodied in the resolution of ratifica-
ton. The presidents supporters con-
tend that he possesses such a right.
Sufficient senator's have declared
their intention of voting for reserva-
tions to Justify the prediction of
Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts, the
majority leader, and chairman of the
foreign relations committee, that n
decisive majority of the senate will
vote for reservations, attached to the
resolution of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
at once unequivocal and effective"
In the judgment Of Senator Hitch
cock, final action on reservations will
not be reached until there has been
considerable debate of them. A series
of reservations is expected to be
brought to the attention of the SEN
ate before the resolution of ratifica-
ton Is finally voted on. Amend
ments to pending reservations are
also anticipated. A number OF roll
calls are expected to be necessary
before a definite form of reservation
is agreed to by reservationists. The
defeat of one reservation will prob
ably be followed by the offering of a
substitute for it, or by the reintro-
duction of the reservation in a modi-
fed or different form.
The phraseology to be employed in
drafting a reservation Is also likely
to provoke considerable discussion
and a wide divergence of opinion.
! While the republican leaders again
declare they still pin hope for
final action between the first and
middle of November upon their plan
to expedite further consideration of
the treaty, Senator Hitchcock ex-
pressed doubt that the question of
reservations would be so easily or
rapidly disposed of as some repub-
lican senators professed to believe.

charges that socialists, reds and other

tains men hostile to the government

in the senate today by Senator Wat

Disclaiming any defense of the
great meat packers, Senator Watson

chists, participants in red parades,
pro-Germans. admirers of Lenine and
Trotzky and avowed exponents of
soviet government.

Petrogrud Isolated, Anti
u Reds Gut Railroads
Still in BolsheYik Hands

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
The bolshevik hold upon Petro-
grad, which although repeatedly
reported captured, was still in
bolshevik hands at latest reports
from accepted SOURCES, Is fast
weakening and the fall Of the
city seems imminent, according
to today's official advices from
the British war office. Kron-
stadt, the great island fortress
defending the old capital from
the sea side, capitulated Friday
and there is nothing now to pre-
vent the advance of the Esthon-
ian troops along the shore toward
Petrograd, which the fortress
guns had thus far held up. The
main line railroad to Pskov and
: Berlin, with its branch to Re-
val, fell into the hands of Gen.
Yudenitch when Gatchina was
taken. His cavalry now have cut
the vitebsk line, running directly
south to Petrograd through Tsar-
skoe Selo and Pavlovsk, at a
point about ten miles from the
city; the main trunk line to Mos
COW was reached and cut at
Vosna, thirty miles southeast of
Petrograd, where the destruction
of the bridge over the Tosna
river would insure an Interrupt
tion of traffic with the capital
for considerable time, and the
road running eastward to Vologda,
which closely follows the south
bank of the Neva, was destroyed
at a point south of Lake Ladoga.
Bolshevist reinforcements, which
Trotzky announced were being
rushed to the defense of the city,
now must be detrained full

II approaching from the south,
must fight their way into Petro- Pc
grad through serious opposition,

seems possible from the dis
patches, the fortress fell not as
result of assault and landing, but
by surrender from within, the

The fall of Kronstadt is vastly
important not only strategically,
but also for it's effect on bolshe-
