ON TREATY
Republican Leaders Will Ac-
cept No Change on Article
X or Monroe Doctrine Pro-
visions, He Says.
.BITTER-ENDERSW WIN
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-No change
in the reservations affecting article 10
| OF the League Of Nations covenant,
or the Monroe doctrine provision OF
the peace treaty. will be acceptable
to the Republicans. Senator Lodge to-
day informed Senator Hitchcock, and
other members of the informal Demo
cratic committee which has been con-
ferring with Senator Lodges commit
| tee in an effort to reach a compromise
on the treaty.
Senator Lodges statement was for
mulated after his conference Saturday
| with Senators Borah, Johnson, and
other Republican senators opposing
the treaty.
Immediately after the statement
was presented today, the bipartisan
conference adjourned, Senator Hitch
Cock and his associates retiring for a
private conference. They will make
Ieir reply to Senator Lodge tomor-
! row morning
Hitchcock Makes Statement.
| Senator Hitchcock later issued this
statement:
when the conference assembled
Senator Lodge advised the senators
present that he had been called in a
meeting by certain Republican sena-
tors, and for that reason had not been
able to attend the last conference last
| Friday.
| He regretted to say that he found it
impossible to resume the conference
for compromise except upon the un-
| derstaIding that no change shall be
| made in the reservation to Article 10
or on the Monroe doctrine. The Dem
ocratic members retired for a private
conference and will make their reply
to Senator Lodge Tuesday morning at
a meeting at 1880"
The conference, up to the time it's
| meetings were interrupted, had ten
| tatively agreed upon the preamble and
| all sections of the reservation except
that relating to Article X, the Monroe
\ doctrine and one or two minor mat
| ters, and an agreement apparently
was c0nsummated on Article X. when
an adjournment suddenly came, fol-
lowed by the Intervention of the ir-
reconcilable Republicans.
/ Lodge Also Talks.
Senator Lodge issued the following
statement:
| nave only tn1S 10 say about the
committee meeting this morning. That
said to the committee that there is
a very strong feeling among many
senators against any change in the
Lodge reservations either in words or
in substance and that thought it only
fair to say now what | have already
said in public, and that there can be
no compromise of principle and that
it would be impossible to secure, in
my judgment, two-thirds of the senate
if any change was attempted in such
articles as 2 and 5, those relating to
Article X, and the Monroe doctrine.
| said this was a mere statement of
\ the situation"

REPLY TO {.
DUTCH IS
STARTED
Council of Ambassadors Talks
Over William Problem -
Legal Question is Chief
Phase of Controversy.
MILLERAND PRESIDES
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 26-The reply to the re-
fusal Of the Dutch government to COM
ply with the demand of the allies for
the surrender for the former Emperor
William was the first subject discus
sed at the initial meeting of the coun-
Gil of the ambassadors, created to
carry on the unfinished routine work
of the Supreme council Of the peace
conference, which disbanded last
week.
1t was decided that the French legal
experts available should go into all
the aspects of the case and prepare
the reply which probably will be sub
,mitted for approval of the council
early next week.
The discussion in the council did not
disclose the trend of opinion among
the members further than that it ap-
peared the view that the legal phase
OF the question had become the chief
one.
The council was presided over by
Premier Millerand. Hugh G. Wallace,
the American ambassador, was pres
ent with other members of the body.
After disposing for the day of the ex-
tradition question, the council decided
to give the representatives of the
Jugo-Slavs four days additional time
to reply regarding the proposed COM
promise on the Adratic question.

Shell to Pierce Heaviest
Armour Made by British
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The British
navy may soon be given a new and
unsurpassed" weapon in a large cal
iber shell which will pierce the heav-
lest armor without shattering, said
Sir Robert Hadfield, chairman and
managing director of Hadfields, Ltd,
steel manufacturers, recently. He in
dicated that possession of such a
shell during the recent war would
have been of inestimable value to the
British fleet.
"The great feat has been accom-
plished," he said. within the last few
days of getting the largest caliber of
armor-piercing shell unbroken through
the thickest of modern hard-faced
armor plate. This result will render
the British gun unsurpassed, incom-
parable and the master in any naval
engagements of the future.
"If we had possessed such a shell
during the war many of the German
battle ships would have been 'scut-
tied long before their end at Scapa
Flow"
