SENATE LEADERS S
 READY FOR TEST

Washington, March 18.---FTna1 vote on ratification of the peace treaty loomed imminent today. While plans were not being made for showdown before tomorrow and perhaps not un-
 til Saturday, Senate leaders were pre- pared to put the pact to a test inn1ne- dately, if all the remaining reserva,- tions were disposed of before adjourn ment A night session was regarded as likely if it should seem possible to conclude the controversy which has been before the Senate many months.
 The presence of William Jennings Bryan and his influence to persuade the Democrats to accept the best com promise they could obtain on the res ervadons submitted by the Rep4Ibi- cans so that the treaty might be rat flied before the preA A1entiaI election, gave added uncertainty to the out come of the ratification vote, despite the almost solid alignment of tho mi nority yesterday against the Ienroot reservation to declare this country's policy toward future European wars.
