In the United States senatef there is
| likely to be a showdown on the league
of nations plan in a very short time,
as its opponents, and others, too. feel
| that the president should know def
nitely the majority opinion Of the body
that must finally accept or reject the
peace treaty that he and his col
leagues assent to at Versailles. Though
the Republicans in the senate are
nearly all opposed to the presidents
plan to make the organization of the
league part Of the peace treaty, they
do not stand alone. Quite number
Of the Democratic senators also are
against that proposition, believing
that atsleast the question should be
made the subject of a. separate treaty
after matters relating directly to the
war shall have been disposed iof. tnn

peace conference will assemble before
the middle of January, nor is any off,.

as to the number Of governments to be
represented. It is considered prob
able that the United States, Great
Britain, France Itaiy ana tnerhaps
Belgium WIN determine the matter of
admission Of delegates. The repre-.
sentatiyes OF the central powers will
