Peace Treaty Again
Up for Discussion
In Senate Today

Washington, Feb. 25.-The peace
treaty will be called before the sem
ate again Thursday under an agree
ment to keep it continually under
consideration until a vote is reached
on ratification.
mo one knows what will happen"
said republican and democratic
leaders alike as they surveyed the
perplexing possibilities with which
the treaty now is confronted. Some
of the rank and file were more con-
fdent in their prediction. however,
various friends of the treaty on both
sides of the chamber declaring rati>
fcation was certain and all of its
irreconcilable enemies agreeing that
ratification was impossible. r.
Whether a vote will be reached
Thursday on any of the amend
ments is problematical. The general
disposition has been to hold down
debate, but several senators want to
speak at length on the general pro-
visions of the treaty. and it would
not surprise the leaders if much of
the present week were taken up-with
the discussion.

BLOT UNIVERSAL
TRAINING FROM
ARMY MEASURE
Reorganization Bill. With One
Clause Elided. Formally
Reported Today.

Washington, Feb. IS. - Meeting
the demand of republican leaders
the house military committee, by a
bipartisan vote today, refused tc
include universal military training in
the army reorganization bill, which
will be formally reported tomorrow
by Chairman Kahn. Sharp opposi-
ton to the reorganization program
is assured when the bill reaches the
house floor, and it may be attacked
earlier by a minority report.
In rejecting consideration of the
training plan the committee voted
that it should become the subject OF
separate legislation to be framed by
a friendly" subcommittee of seven
named by Mr.. Kahn, with al, agrees
ment of the leaders that its consid-
Grafton would not be blocked after
a thorough inquiry had been made
of the cost and economic effects.
This investigation is expected tc
delay action on the question until
next session.
With this temporary disposal OF
universal training. the committee
voted, 10 to E, to report the reor-
ganization bill, providing for a max
imum peace time army of 17,70O Of
fcers and 100000 men, including the
Philippine scouts and unassigned re-
cruits. Unlike the national defense
act of 1916, which the new bill would
amend, no definite tactical formation
of the army is prescribed, this being
left discretionary with the president:
This feature is among the principal
causes of the sharp opposition by
the minority.
Supporters of universal training
plan to offer amendments to force
house action on the question, but
opponents of the scheme hope to
Illustrate these attempts through
parliamentary tactics: Although the
separate training bill was ordered
prepared "at the earliest practical
date" even its supporters were
doubtful of consideration for
months. Mr.. Kahn, however, an
nounced that he expected an early"
report to follow a Thorough in
vestigation.

As Presented to British Par|ia-
mentarians Yesterday the Bill
Adheres Closely to Measure
Outlined by Premier.
BASED PRIMARILY ON
NO SEPARATION POLICY
Largest Opportunity Will Be
Given Irish People to Unite
On Constitution of a Parlia-
ment for Whole Country.

London, Feb. 25.-The bill for
Irish home rule, long promised by
the government, was presented in
the House of Commons today. The
first reading was of the title alone
and was a mere formality preliml-
nary to taking up the measure at the
session tomorrow.
The present bill, it is understood.
adheres comparatively close to the
measure as outlined by Lloyd
George in the house on December
q last. The governments project
centers on the setting up of two
parliaments in Ireland, one for the
south and one for the north
Hohe rule. as the government
hopes to give it to Ireland, is based
primarily upon the declaration of
the premier in his December speech
that Great Britain cannot accept
separation But the largest oppor-
tunity will be given to the Irish peo-
pie to unite on the constitution of a
parliament in the course of time
which will embrace Ireland as a
whole.
North Parliament Small.
For the north OF Ireland the area
embraced will probably include the
six counties mentioned by the pre-
mier in his original outline, with
possibly some slight notifications,
as a consequence of which the
northern parliament will be very
much smaller body than the south
ern organization.
One of the fundamental features
OF the bill has always been coun-
Gil representing the two parliaments
and it is understood that this coun-
Gil will derive its powers from the
two bodies which will be responsible
for its selection.
The proposed legislatures will
have extensive powers and also rep
resentation in the imperial parlia-
To Have Extensive Powers.
Such matters as education. local
government, agriculture, transporta-
ton, municipal affairs, insurance and
the collection of taxes will be under
the control of these two legisla-
lures, while matters of more serious
import to the empire, such as for
clgn affairs. defense, navigation and
the higher judiciary, are reserved for
the decision of the imperial govern
ment.
Premier Lloyd George announced
that the proceeds of land annuities
in Ireland would be given as free
gift to the two parliaments and es-
tlmated that this would amount to
G3,000,O00 for the year. This sum,
or other equitable provision. will be
made for the maintenance of the two
parliaments, if the governments bill
is accepted
