laid aside last November.

November vote.
Washington, Feb. O.-The German
peace treaty to-day again was TO the
fore in the Senate. The pact itself was
not actually up for consideration bat
it indirectly came mp with the begin
ming of efforts by leaders in the con
troversv to untangle the parliamentary
web that must be removed before the
treaty can be considered.
The first move after formally calling
up the treaty was TO get rid OF the
c1oturc rule. under which the closing
debate was conducted in November. II
was not believed this technically could
be removed before tomorrow oil
Wednesday.
When debate does begin long and
bitter contest was forecast by leaders
and while some senators on both sides
were hopeful Of ratification finally, 9th
ers believed the deadlock would not be
broken and the whole question would
be taken into the coming presidential
campaign.
