HAL ACIIOus
UP THURSDAY OR FRIDAY
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Fonowing
adoption of the Lodge reservation to
Article 10, administratio senators today
expressed belief that even if the senate
should ratify, President Wilson would re
fuse to deposit notice of ratification and
the treaty would fail
The president has definitely rejected
the reservation which ffty-six senator's
voted into the resolution of ratification
Twenty six democrats voted against
the Lodge reservation on Article To- OF
these, it is estimated, from four to seven
MsFin vote for ratification
- Various estimates were made of the
number of republican votes for rattfca-
ton. Curtis, republican whip, said care
full canvasses indicated to him that the
treaty would lack three to eight votes
Of enough to ratify.
Borah, leader of the 'irreconcilab les,"
estimated that there would be thirty
eight votes against ratification. FIVE more
than necessary to beat the treaty.
IT'S THE QUIET ONES
WHO'LL TURN TABLES.
Lodge feels certain, he has told his
friends, that the treaty will fail. Hitch
cock is equally certain, he said today.
King, who with Simmons, is working
to get the treaty ratified, said there
would be thirty-two democratic votes for
ratification; this, with thirty-four re-
publican votes, would give two more
than necessary for ratification.
Some senators are not telling how they
VI t.osr
counted by various canvassers, may up
set some calculations at the last min
ute.
Lodge and other leaders hope to reach
the final vote on Thursday or Friday.
No attempt has been made to set the
time, but this may be done today.
Hiram Johnson one of the 'irreconcil-
ables," Is hurrying back for the vote.
Penrose has wired a request that he be
paired against ratification. LafolIette
and Poindexter are back and Senator
Fall, New Mexico, has been paired.

TEXT OF THE
RESERVATION.
Here is the text Of the new reservation !:
The United States assumes no obliga-
ton to preserve the territorial integrity
or political independence of any other
country, by the employment of its mil
itary or naval forces, it's resources, or
any form of economic discrimination, or
to interfere in any way in controversies,
including controversies relating to ter
ritorial integrity and political inde2end-
encs, between nations, whether members
Of the league or not, under the pro-
visions of Article 10, or to employ the
military or naval forces Of the United
States under any article of the treaty for
any purpose, unless in any particular
case the congress, which, under the con-
stitution, has the sole power to declare
war or authorize the employment Of the
military or naval forces Of the United
States, shall. in the exercise of full lib
erty of action, by act or joint resolution,
so provide
SENATE ROLLER
PUT INTO ACTION.
A steam roller, well oiled and running
smoothly, fiattened out every effort to
weaken or modify the new Lodge -eser-
vadon. Among the various substitutes Of
scrapped compromises were those framed
by ex-President Taft and the bipartisan
Cancellation conference.
The Taft resolution, offered by Senator
Kirby, Arkansas, democrat, went down
to defeat, 30 to 46, the republicans voting
solidly against it. The bipartisan com
promise, also offered by Senator Kirby,
was rejected. 81 to IS.
