For First Time Since Last November, Solid Republi- can Front on Pact Fight Cracks-2 More Reserva- tions Are Put Through
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

original terms as framed by republican leaders last November had been mOdi- fled to conform to agreements of the recent bipartisan compromise con- ference
 One of them, withholding assent from the Shantung settlement, was changed on motion of the republican leaders themselves, and by practically unanimous vote. Consideration of the other, however, providing that Ameri- can representatives in the league of nations be chosen by congressional ac- tion- raised a bitter controversy which in the end broke down for the first time since early November the solid republican lineup behind the republi- can reservation program.
 The language finally substituted for the republican draft of the league reservation was written by Senator Walsh, democrat, of Montana, and by him was laid before the bipartisan conference. Today it was offered in the senate by the republican leader. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, was objected to by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader, was withdrawn. re-offered by Senator Walsh, accepted by the senate over the republican leaders opposition and then finally adopted with the repub- icans voting solidly for it, and with Senator Walsh and 13 other democrats opposing it.
 Sharp Contradictions
 The maneuvering brought about many sharp contradictions as to what transpired behind the closed doors of the bipartisan conference and prompted Senator Lodge to declare that hereafter he would have nothing to do with the compromise agreements tentatively reached while the negotia- tons were in progress. His declara- tion immediately drew fire from the mild reservation republicans, Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, a member of that group asserting that he never would be bound by his leaders de- clSIon- It was the mild reservation lsts who, few minutes later, made possible adoption of the Walsh reser- vation.
 The unexpected flare-up over a res eI-vation generally regarded as of minor consequence came when nego- nations for a compromise on the cru cial question of article 10 again had reached a state of earnest activity Prominent senators of the two parties understood to be working with, the knoWledge of the party leaders, 1 brought their consultations to a point l where the advice of President Wilson was sought indirectly during the day. 1 10 ascertain proposed changes in the | republican article 10 reservation, but l II was said tonight that no definite i; information had been forthcoming
 
 outcome remained dubious
 The modification of the Shantung reservation, so as to eliminate refer 'encf to Japan and China by name l was agreed to by the senate with little debate and by majority of e9 to g. l and the reservation was readopted, 4S 10 zl, with 10 democrats voting for it. l Last November the vote had been B l 10 fl, only five democrats being l counted in the majority
 On adoption of Senator walsh's change in the league representation reservation, eight republicans voted l with the democrats in the affirma tive | and the result was a majority of g to 32- The vote on final adoption 1 of the revised reservation was 55 to l 14, all of the opposition coming from | democrats, while r democrats voted | for adoption
 The Walsh Reservation
 As adopted. the Walsh reservation
 No person is. or shall be author | ized to represent the United States. | nor shall any citizen of the United | States be eligible, as a member of any body or agency established O r author ized by said treaty or peace with Ger many, except pursuant to an act of | congress of the United States, pro- viding for his appointment and defin- l ing his powers and duties"
 In the original draft, the language | congress will provide by law had | been used, and it wa sthe omission of | this affirmative declaration on which | Senator Hitchcock based his objec- | ton to the revision.
 On the roll call the administration | forces presented a solid front for | adoption, and they were joined by Senators Cummins, Iowa; Hale, Maine; Edge. New Jersey: Kellogg. In, McNary. Oregon: New, Indiana, and | Michigan.
 Another roll call was necessary ac- tually to adopt the reservations.
 The democrats who voted for adoption were: Senators Beckham. Kentucky; Chamberlain, Oregon: Fletcher. Florida; Gore, Ol<lahoma; Nevada; Kendrick, Wyo- ming; Kirby. Kansas; Myers, Mon tana: Nugent, Idaho; Overman, North Carolina; Phelan, California;; Pitt man. Nevada; Reed, Missouri; Shields, Tennessee: Smith. Georgia: Thomas, I Colorado, and Trammel Florida
 One suggestion understood to have been under consideration in connec- ton with the article 10 compromise discu ssion, was for a declaration that this nation would not undertake to l maintain the integrity of any other league member by it's army or navy, it's commercial resources, by diplo- matic pressure, or by use of an economic boycott.
