GUARD TO PREVENT
SENATE STAMPEDE
IN TREATY DEBATE
Reservation Republicans and
Democrats Join Against IT,
reConCiIiabIe Foes, Shifting
Ranks May Bring Coup.

WASHINGTON March 1t-senate
action on article 10 was deferred again
today while the leaders sought to bring
order out Of the situation resulting
promise negotiations.
Republican leaders were understood
10 nave indicated that they might ac-
cept with certain changes the substi-
tute article 10 reservation uraed by the
mild reservationists. Among the Demo O..
Gratis the compromise advocates con.
tinued actively at work. some Of them
claiming they could muster so or more
votes for the substitute.
WASHINGTON, March II .-With-sen
ators on both sides of the treaty ratl-
tieation fight disregarding the plans OF
their party leaders in their desire TO
reach a compromise on the much dis
puted article 10, the situation today APP
peared hopelessly confused. Tacit agree
ment was reached to forego vote until
something like order was restored in
the conflicting negotiations.
Reservation Republicans and reserva-
tion Democrats have Joined forces
irreconciliable foes Of the treaty, who
have gone cunning for the compromise
reservation to article 10 which was to
have been presented in, the senate yes
terday, but which their opposition fore
stalled
widened as a result of determination
expressed by some members Of the mi
rority to give active support toward ac-
ceptance of the best compromise pos
sible. Republicans claim that 80 Remo-
cratic votes can be mustered for the
substitute reservation to article 10.
Debate on the floor has been desul-
tory, with the irreconcilabes on guard
to prevent stampede, while those
working for ratification have been busy
in conference seeking way out of the
disagreement which could be accepted
by both sides
1t was the treaty's irreconcilabe Re-
publican opponents who started the
trouble Wednesday by demonstrating in
| militant way against the decision OF
some of their leaders to assent to a
| modified draft of the Republican reser'
vation to article 10. So effective were
their representations that the leaders
virtually decided not to offer the new
| reservation at all.

NOTED SPEAKERS WILL
TELL IRELAND'S STORY

Sunday evening, December 10. at
1880 in oregon Theater, public meet
ing will be addressed by ]. II. Fitz
Gerald of Portland and Judge Darcy
of Salem who will explain the case of
Ireland, now a topic of world wide in
terest and of international import
ance.
1T is neither religious nor mere
political problem; it is essentially an
ethical problem involying the right of
nation to decent self government
harmonious relations between the
United States and Great Britain will
be promoted and eventually secured,
through a right understanding of the
position ofathe Irish people the an
inouncement says.
Briefly, the position is this; The
Irish nation, BY right of self determi-
nation has by overwhelming majority,
voted for republic, has set up a re-
public and by heroic efforts maintains
it against foreign oppression.
! "One thing alone the Irish nation
demands of Great Britain. the final
withdrawal of the army of occupation
so that the republic may function
freely. Cne thing alone the Irish
republic request of the American re-
public, official recognition of their re-
public.
4 More than this was solemnly prom
ised by Benjamin Franklin to the Irish
people in the dark early days of the
American war of Independence, after
the Irish people, in their poverty and
at their peril, had sent us soldiers and
sailors. generals and commodores
arms and ammunition.
'Branklin wrote. our part is warm
~ taken by the Irish in general.
George Washington wrote in 1TIS
.'Pauiots OF Ireland be strong in hope
Your cause is Identical with mine
Gratitude and love Of fair play
should move all true Americans tt
give at least fair hearing to th'
cause. This meeting is free to th'
public"
