By-Par6san Committee. To
Agree To Meet Again On
Thursday And Compro-

Member. OF Both Sides. !.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Notice was
served on Republican leaders of the
senate today by Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, the administration spokes-
man, that unless compromise negoti-
atoms on the peace treaty were con-
tinued he would carry the fight to the
senate floor, by moving to take the
treaty up there:
The notice was given in reply Of
the informal Democratic compromise
committee to the refusal OF the Re-
ten, Of the League Of Nations
covenant Out Of the discussion
which followed came an agreement
for the bipartisan committees to
meet again on Thursday. Thus the
door to compromise was entirely
closed. uEgl
Senator Hitchcock agreed that
meantime he would not move for
senate action. He did not indicate
from their position and Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader. said
after the conference that the Repub-
lican conferees had not changed
their stand against compromise on
article 10 and the Monroe doctrine;
THE Democratic members of this
conference have considered the an
nouncement made by Senator Lodge
that he and his associates are not
on the Lodge reservation concerning
article ten, nor/ on that relating to
the Monroe doctrine" said Senator
Hitchcock in the Democratic reply to
the Republican ultimum. ~
I'm reply we desire to say that we
entered upon this conference without
any reservations or restrictions in

assumed that the other side Of this
conference had the same purpose.
The unexpected Interruption of
the conference and the decision to re-
fuse any compromise on article ten is
all the more surprising because it
seemed from expressions on both
= sides of the table that we were close
to a possible compromise on this very
important reservation by. means Of
