pense of this work will approximate

lines and sufacient tankers is re-
sponsible for the seeming decrease in

Much PROGRESS
IN TREATY WORK

Senators Today Are More
Hopeful of Settlement
of Dispute.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-As result
Of progress during the past two days
by the bipartisan committee leaders
seeming to compromise differences on
the peace treaty, senators today were
more hopeful of settlement OF the
controversy than they have been for
weeks.
Reports Of conferees that decided
step forward had been madeN in the
negotiations az to article ten of the
League Of Nations covenant, the chief
stumbling block. and that definite
agreement on that point might be ex-
pected at the committee meeting late
today, revived the activities Of the
mild reservationists Of both sides
paving the way for acceptance Of the
committee agreement, should one be
reached.
One of. the proposals by tie demo-
Gratis would declare that the United
States assumes no obligation to pro-
tects foreign territory by Suse cf her
armed forces. or an economic boy
colt wfthesft specific attf6n and ap-
progal by congress and reserves the
privilege Of offering good offices in
