The situation today Is this:
Democrats of the Kendrick-McKel-
lar group have sent word to Lodge
that they are willing to accept the
Lodge reservations on Shantung and
on voting power in the league Of
nations; Lodge has agreed that four
points are "discussable" e"-namely,
the preamble, the labor reservations,
voting power and Shantung. but has
definitely excluded article ten and
the Monroe doctrine from negotia
tons.
The McKellar-Kendrick group noti-
fed Lodge that they are sure OF
thirty-fve democratic votes for theS
reservations and that several other
democrats are sympathetic; at the
same time they acknowledged that
not a single democrat OF the thirty
Ave has actually been pledged to

say they scent democratic plot" In

mise. According to the "irrecon-

ing to get enough votes by combining
with republican mild reseryationists
to make majority Of the senate.
According to the "irreconcil.
ables" the coalition will put to a vote
the compromise proposals agreed
upon even though Lodge and his sup
porters should not approve them. The
Lodge reservationists and "irrecon-

coalition from getting a two-thirds
vote, the democrats could charge
Lodge and his group with entire re-
sponsibility for the failure of the SEN
ate to act.
Lodge meets compromisers with
assurance of entire willingness to
negotiate Some democrats, however,
insist Lodge is merely keeping up
appearances" and is really doing
nothing to help ratification.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The next
step In senate negotiations for a
treaty compromise is expected soon
after the democratic caucus Thurs
day, when floor leader is to be
selected.
A joint meeting of democrats and
republicans at which general discus
sion will take place, will probably be
called. Such a meeting has already
been tentatively arranged. From
forty to fifty senators are expected
to attend.
Those behind this plan believe
negotiations now have reached a
stage where free interchange of
views in a bipartisan conference OF
isenators honestly seeking ratification
would do much to unity the treaty
irea1 friends. .ss,..--a-..s,
The reason the conference may be
delayed until after the democrats
choose their leader Thursday is that
some senators think that IL Under
wood, Alabama, is elected, he will
prove much more energetic in behalf
OF compromise than Senator Hitch
cock, the acting leader and Under
woods rival for the honor.
Hitchcock has been keeping aloof
from negotiations on the ground that
as President Wilson's spokesman, he
must take the same position as the
president and not appear to be con-
senting to any qualification Of the
treaty.
Underwood calling at the white
house today to see Secretary Tum-
ulty said he believed he would be
elected minority leader at the caucus
Thursday. If chosen leader, he said
he will not take from Hitchcock the
direction of the democratic forces in
the treaty fight. He characterized
