May Free u. s. Possessions.
The reservation goes even fur
ther. Senators who opposed it,
among them Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, despite the great Irish
vote in Massachusetts,. insisted
that it committed the United
States to grant nationality to its
possess;ons-Porto Rica, Hawaii,
the Philippines, and the Virgin
Islands.
Party Lines Collapse.
This reservation, drawn by Sena-
tor Peter Gerry (DemocraD of
Rhode Island. was the most drastic
of the fifteen that were attached to
the resolution Of ratification as
completed last night by the Senate
in preparation for the final vote to-
day. 1t led to Ole of the most
spectacular fights of the entire
treaty debate. Party lines collapsed
under the strain. Senators accused
one another OF fraud. trickery. po-
litical deception: Senator Thomas
Sterling. Of Sonth Dakota. a Repub-
lican Favorable to. ratifcation.
charged that Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the Admin
istrAtfon foos leader. WIS conniving
to defeat the treaty by voting Tor
the reservation. Other. Senators
were accused of trucking to the
Irish vote. knowing the treaty can
not be ratified.
Fight Gees, On.
The reservation was adopted by
the narrow margin of thirty-eight
to thirty-six late yesterday after
noon. That did not end the fight.
The real struggle then began Re
publican Senators opposing the res
ervation called for another vote
when the treaty was reported from
the Committee of the Whole to the
Senate, and undertook to postpone
the second and final vote until to-
day. They were accuSed of trying
to change votes over night Led
by Senator Frank B. Kellogg, Re-
publican, of Minnesota, they bowed,
in defeat every time they offered
a motion to defer the vote. Every
tHe pASpocSN
by them was bowled over. When
the second vote was taken the
friends of ireland scored a more
impressive victory. The vote was
forty-fi to thirty-eight.
Right .-Metaphysical TraEeAy.
The Senate seemed bent upon
righting the metaphysical tragedy
as Mr.. Wilson described at Paris
his inability to further the cause
of the Irish and other peoples who
have taken heart In their fight for
independence from his pronounce
ment in favor of self DIFFERENTIATION
of peoples 'the right of all people
to government of their own choos-
ing" and government by consent
of the governed" E
Lodge undertook to eliminate
from the reservation the statement
that 'the United states adheres to
the principle of seif-determination.
He declared he desired to vote an
of sympathy for the Irish
people, but would not amend the
treaty and commit the nation to
policy that might prove extremely

HIS TEETH DULLED
Dempsey Is Starving for Fights,
Say Ring Experts.
Has to Promise Fortune in
Order to Get Battle.

New York, Dec. 16.-JacI, Dempsey
used to live on fights but in the last
seventeen months. he's been starving.
His first battle with Miske after
winning the championship was easily
masticated cereal. His second bout
with Brennan was a hard lump of
gristle.
The champions teeth need sharpen
ing and they'll probably get it.
Benny Leonard has the same expert
ence. Rated the best ever in his
class, the lightweight champion was
considered too good by the aspirants
for his title. He couldn't coax a con-
tender into the ring without giving
them half the fourth liberty loan.
Then he took on the rugged Joe
yelling and it took him a long time
to drop the Chicago boy.
Critics said the champion had gone
back and his challengers took new
heart.
Before Leonard met yelling,
Richie Mitchell, one of the best on
the second step of the throne, wante ed
$4,000 to take Bennys punches. Now
he has signed for a percentage of the
receipts that probably will amount to
about $4,000.
Already, Dempsey is finding things
coming the same way. A Pittsburgh
club wants him to meet Harry Greb
in a 10-round bout in the Smoky city
for $4,000. Others of the second
string heavies are peering out of their
shells and seeking out the promoters
Since he rose to fame In London by
giving Joe Beckett one of his quarterly
or half yearly knockouts, Frank Mo
ran, the blonde Pittsburgher. can be
| expected to drop a cable challenge in
Jack Kearns's letter box any minute.
