PEACE TREATY IS NEAR
FINAL VOTE IN SENATE
Controversy May be Concluded
at Session Likely to be Held
Tonight
By Associate, Press 20 Every Evening

BY AsUpSIateff frtSs 10 Every evening
Washington, March 1S.-Final vote on
ratification OF the peace treaty loomed
imminent today. While plans were not
being made for showdown before to-
morrow and perhaps not until saturday
Senate leaders were pre- pared TO put the
pact to test Immediately, Il all the re-
manning reservations were disposed of
before adjournment. A night session was
regarded as likely If 1T should see possible
10 conclude the controversy which has
been before the Senate many months
The presence of William Jennings
Bryan and his influence TO persuade the
Democrats To accept the best compromise
they could obtain on the reservations sub
mitted by the Republicans, so that the
treaty might be ratified before the presi-
Dental election, gave added uncertainty
to the outcome of the ratification vote,
despite the almost solid alignment of the
minority yesterday against the Lenroot
reservation to declare this country s
policy toward future European wars
Resuming consideration of p-endin0 reser-
vations TO the peace treaty, the Senate
soon after meeting today rejected IS to
81 a reservation presented by Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, which would
reserve To the United States for decision
questions affecting its national honor or
its vital ntere SITS
The Senate then defeated another
reservation by Senator Reed providing
that the United States would refuse to
assume any obligation to employ its mill
tsry or naval forces, it's resources or any
form of economic discrimination under
any article of the league covenant.

Washington, March 1S.-Concluding
his long arraignment of the Navy Depart
ment's conduct Of the war, Rear Admiral
Sims laid before the Senate investigating
committee today thirteen specific counts
in his Indictment charging mistakes and
costly delays Reiterating his declara-
tion that his criticisms were aimed at no
individual but that Responsibility for
any failures" rested upon "the Navy De
partment as an organization Admiral
Sims said.
IF | have shown that there was lark
OF conviction or clear understanding on

have shown that the navy was hampered
by lack Of preparedness, by lack Of

miral Sims said the fact would necessaI iiy

The admiral's summary Of his charges
follows
THAT in spite Of the fact that war had
been going on for nearly three years and
our entry into il had been imminent a'
least from February 2. 1917, the vessels
Of the navy were not ready for war scr
vice when the United States entered.
That tho first few months after Americs
entered the war were extremely crtica
ones for the whole allied cause, due to the
success of enemy submarines.
That this critical situation was made
clear to the Navy Department few days
after America entered the war and re-
peatediy thereafter by cables and let
ters, supported by Independent advice
tn the government from. the American
Ambassador in London and by Mr.
Hoover.
THAT the Navy Department supplied
me with no plans or policy covering ou
participation IN the war for three months
after our entry therein.
THAT having information as 20 tn

Constantinoplc. March 17.-The second
day of the intef-allied occupation OF Con-
stantinople, carried out on Tuesday by
large forces from the imposing war fleet
IN the Bosphorous, passed with entire
calm. the Turkish police cooperating IN
keeping order The ferry and telephone
services have been resumed Only small
detachments of allied soldiers are visible

The French and the Italians had only
small forces here and they are far less
active than the British troops, which are
excellently organized and took the city
over with the precision of clockwork.
Among the prisoners taken were
Essad Pasha, Nationalist leader, and
Mohammed Pasha, who was minister OF

has been the chief organizer of the pro-
paganda for an American mandate.
The Turkish newspapers and the
foreign office are so heavily censored that
it is impossible to obtain the auth0rlta-
tive Turkish view of the situation. Turks
with whom the correspondent spoke,
however, freely declared their opinion
that Constantinopie was about To repeat
