MAY SOON VOTE on TREATY
Democrats May Vote For The Lodge
Reservations In Order To Ratify
Treaty And Get Out OF Way

/ Washington.-The nation viii not
have to wait long for a showdown be-
tween President Wilson and the Dem
ocratic members of the senate. The
issue is drawn. Senators are advanc-
ing 10 meet il. Its settlement will be
a matter of days if Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge succeeds in his program
of keeping the treaty Of peace con-
stantIy before the senate until con-
clusion shall have been reached.
The Republican determination to
bring the question to a conclusion was
announced on the senate floor by the
party leader, senator Lodge, who said
that for the present time had been
allotted to consideration Of pressing
legislation, he would call up the treaty
very shortly and would ask that it
remain the business of the senate until
disposed of.
In some quarters it was predicted
that under the program outlined by
Senator Lodge the treaty could be
brought to a ratification vote within
a week or ten days. The irreconcila-
BILE opponents of ratification are ex-
pected, however, to insist that there
be no hasty action and no one could
predict with certainty how much time
they might consume in debate.
Democratic senators realize they
face a serious problem. They are
aware that upon their solution Of it
hangs not only the fate of the treaty
in the current effort for ratification,
but the solidarity of their party in
the forthcoming presidential cam
paign.

ALLIES ANSWER
THE PRESIDENT
MAKE PROPOSAL TO WIPE OFF
AORIATIc SLATE AND
BEGIN ANEW
LONDON PACT LAST RESORT
President Asked To Join Britain And
France In Framing New
Settlement

Washington.-The invitation of the
British and French premiers to Pres
ident Wilson TO join them in a for.
NAL proposal to the Italian and Jugo-
Slav governments to negotiate a new
Adriatic settlement on the basis of
the withdrawal of all previous agree
ments caused no surprise in official
Washington.
The note which was received at the
state department is now before the
president, and his reply is expected to
be made within a few days. Mean
time officials are refraining from any
discussion of it or of the presidents
probable course.
1t was pointed out, however, that
while adhering to the agreement CT
December 8, the president, in his last
reply to the premiers, had said that
he would, of course, make no objec-
ton to a settlement mutually agreea-
BILE to Italy and Jugo-Slavia =
provided that such an agreement is not
made at the expense of the nationals
of third power"
If the premiers' proposal is accept
ed by the president, Italy and Jugo-
Slavia will have their first opportunity
to undertake settlement between
themselves. Officials would not voice
their opinions as to the probabilities
of the success of such direct negotia-
tons.
There is such wide divergence
between the territorial aspirations of
the two countries, however, that it was
regarded as almost certain that such
negotiations to be successful would
consume many months.
In the view of some officials here,
the time required to reach an agree
ment would be immaterial as compar-
ed with the lasting benefits to be de-
rived from a satisfactory settlement.
In fact, it is known that some high Of
ficiaIs are of the opinion that delay
might be advisable, as they believe the
natural operation Of economic laws
will serve to eliminate the troublesome
problem resulting from dAnnunzio's
seizure of Fiume.

COLBY Is NAMED
FOR THE CABINET
FIGHT rs PROBABLE ON coNFIR
NATION OF PRESIDENT
WILSON'S PICK
NOMINATION WAS SURPRISE
Senate Surprised BY Presidents
Choice OF Former Republican
For Portfolio

Washington.-Presi Wilson has
again upset the expectations of Off
cial and political Washington by nam
ing as secretary of state cambridge
Col, a New York attorney, who left
the Republican party with Theodore
Roosevelt in 1912.
The selection caused scarcely less
of a sensation than the dismissal OF
Robert Lansing from the state port
fulio and was received with such I'M
disguised surprise in the senate, where
the presidents choice must be ap-
proved before Mr.. Colby can take up
the duties of office. that none OF the
leaders cared to predict when conflr-
nation might be voted.
Not even among those on the in
side of administration circles had
there been any expectation that the
selection would fall on Mr.. Colby, who
told inuuirers that he himself had
been given only a very brief notice
of the presidents intention. sum-
moned to the white house, he spent
an nOuf WITH MI. NllSOlly announce
that he would accept, with a deep
appreciation of the responsibility i'm
posed upon him, and said he would
have no further comment to make I'M
til the senate had acted.
Word of the nomination reached
senators just as they were assembling
for the days session, and in their
private talks during the day they dis
cussed little else. Virtually all OF
them, however, preferred to withhold
public comment until the subject came
up formally for action.
once before the senate had been
called upon to act on a nomination
of Mr.. Colby, and then confirmation
was voted, although strong fight
against him was led by the two Re
publican senators from his state. That
was in 1917, when President Wilson
named him to membership on the ship

The influence which had decided
the peace conference to retain the
Turks in Constantinople, the premier
said had come from India. The two
neace delegates of India at Paris, mel

declared that unless the allies retained
the Turks in Constantinople, their ac'
tion would be regarded as gross
breach of faith on the part OF the
British empire, the premier INFORMED

Expressing regret that America had
not taken a mandate, Mr.. Lloyd-George
said:
For the moment America must be
reckoned as entirely gu tot any ar
ranpement we can contemplate for the
