Progress Made at Bipartisan
Gathering Attended by Lodge
and Hitchcock

While it was said no actual agreements
had been reached, leaders on both sides
of the Senate treaty fight today ex-
pressed belief that some progress in the
compromise movement was made at the
bipartisan round table meeting of fac
ton leaders yesterday and that the con
tinuaton of the conference arranged for
tomorrow might pave the way for u
final settlement
The meeting was participated in by
four Republicans and five Democrats,
including Senator Lodge, Republican
leader, and Senator Hitchcock, admin =
istration leader. and marked the first
formal step in the negotiations for com
promise reservations to the peace treaty.
The Lodge reservations were the basis
of discussion at the meeting which lasted
for two hours, and although no sug
gestions in writing were made by the
Democrats it was said numerous verbal
