BRYAN TAKESPART
IN TREATY PARlEY
Says It Would Be Suicidal for
y Democrats to Join With
''Irreconcilables"
CALLS FOR RATIFICATION
BY the Associated Press

Washington. March t7.--W. j.
Bryan arrived here today from Florida,
en- route to New York to deliver an ad-
dress Friday night. and Immediately be-
came participant in the eleventh.
hour negotiations for II compromise
on the peace treaty.
Although Mr.. Bryan said he did not
fntend to visit the Senate nor inter
vene in the treaty situation. Demo
cratic senator's began 60 consult him
before he had finished his breakfast.
Mr.. Bryan gave out another state
ment urging ratification.
For Democratic senators 10 joln
with the 'irreconcilablcs in defeating
the treaty" he said. ''is unthinkablc
In advance of its being actually accom-
plished and it would be unspeakahlc
afterwards.
Mr.. Bryan said it would bc sui
cidal'' for the Democratic party TO deny
the right of q majority of the Senate
TO declare the Seuate's policy.
''We have the right to appeal TO the
people to reverse the action Ot the ma
3ority,' he said. but "" have no right
TO resist that majority to prevent IN"
people speaking through their rcprc'
seutatives. The Democratic party can
not hope TO make much headway com
batting the fundamental principle
upon which il stands.
Following introduction by tho Rcpub-
leans of a new reservation to the treaty
Intended to replace the moro definite
international ptedgrS Of Article y.
claims were made of further Democratic
gains for ratification with the Rcpub'i-
can qualifications attached.
The new reservation, drafted by Sen
ator Lenroot. of Wisconsin. declares the
United States would view with grave
concern any threat against the peace
of Europe and would consider what ac-
tion it would take III the premises.
While not many members OF the ad-
ministraticn forces have had oppor
tunity 10 study the reservation and its
effect, some senator's predicted that its
adoption would palliatc resentment over
the reservation to Article y. which
President Wilson has declared would
''cut the heart from the League of
Nations.
Debate ou the now reservation may
start today, unless it is decided to give
more time for study of its provisions.
In which case the Reservation relating
to the Egyptian protcctoratc probably
will be voted on.
The latter aroused lively controversy
yesterday over the. Irish question. with
Senator Kenyon. of Iowa. begging his
colleague to quit "demagoSuiug about
Great Britain and asking what they
would thisk if some one attempted To
raise funds and carry or propagan nda in
the British empire for freedom of the
Philippines or Hawaii. similar to the
Irish agitation in this country.
Senator Thomas. OF Colorado. do
clared the British navy had been the
mainstay of the Monroe Doctrine.
Debate forestalled efforts TO agrec on
date for the ratification vote. hut it
Is hoped to fix the time for some day
