SENATE SENDS PEACE TREATY
 TO COM|N| TEE
Will Avoid Cloture Rule in Debate. on Pact to Come
 Next Week

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The peace treaty was formally brought back into the open senate today, but as soon as parliamentary barriers to it's consideration had been removed it was put aside again for a period of waiting which the leaders said would last at least a week.
 Suspending it's rules by a bi-parti- san majority of seven to one and vir- tually without debate, the senate re considered in short order the action by which ratification failed on No vember 19, and then, as a matter of formality sent the treaty to the for sign relations committee with instruc- tions to report it back at once with the reservations framed by the Re publicans at the last session of con gress.
 To Postpone Debate.
 The committee expects to act to- morrow. but it was announced to- night that Senator Lodge would ask that it's report be not taken up for consideration until next week. Ur- gent legislative matters, it was said. including appropriations and tariff legislation. were expected to occupy the senate's time in the interval.
 The complicated technical opera ton of taking the treaty from it's pieeonhole was accomplished in ac- cordapce with program previously agreed on by Republican and Demo- cratic leaders, and with no one but the irreconcila ble foes Of ratifica- ton raising a voice in opposition. The debate was kept strictly to parlia- mentarv questions, and was of short durafion. disappointing the largest crowd that has gathered in the sen ate galleries since the treaty was laid aside in November
 Thirty-four Democrats and 29 Re publicans voted to suspend the sen ate rules so that the treaty again could be considered, while nine Re publicans. all of them of the irrecon- cilable group, voted against. The ac- tion was taken on motion of Senator Iadge after one of the irreconcilables Senator Norris of Nebraska. had blocked suspension of the rules by unanimous consent.
 By exclamation. and again on the motion of the Republican leader, the senate then ordered reconsideration of it's previous roll call on ratifica- tion and sent the treaty to a com mittee. The latter step, it was ex' plained. was taken to abrogate the cloture which was imposed last ses- sion and which Vice President Mar shall held must come back into the senate with the treaty.
 Only two roll calls were taken, one on the motion to suspend the rules and another on sustaining the vice president when he 'overruled Senator Norris point of order against the mo- tion to reconsider the ratification vote. The latter resulted in a count of 62 to 10. the irreconcilahles alone refusing to back uD the ruling of the chair. Later Senator Norris made A speech bitterly critizing the parlia- mentary methods bv which the treatv's reconsideration was accom- plished.
 In asking that the committee be in structed to, return the Republican res ervations along with the treaty, Sena- tor Lodge declared the stipulation would bind no one and was request cd merely to get the reservations back before the senate for consid- eration. After that had tRen done the Republican leader is expected to nroposa notifications agreed upon by the disbanded bipartisan compromise conference thus again opening the whole field of compromise discus. sion.
 Tn all quarters it was emphasized tonight that the smoothness of the days proceedings was not to be talk en IS assuring any agreement be- tween the parties on reservations. Al though senators professed to be very hopeful of ratification it was con ceded everywhere that many diff culties still stood in the way
