ness.
TREATY FOR HUNGARIA

PARIS, Jan. 13.-The supreme council
OF the peace conference practically ended
its existence today with the completion
of the Hungarian treaty and will be
succeeded by a committee of am
bassadors.
The council was informed by Hugh
Wallace the United States ambassador,
that America will not accept any of the
naval reparations secured from Germany
as 4 result of the sinking of the interned
German war feet at Scapa Flow, because
of the smallness of the American
allotment.
The council had refused to reconsider
the decision to allow only 2 per cent
of the German warships and footing
docks to America Thereupon Ambassa-
dor Wallace communicated with Wash
tngton, seeking instructions. Following
receipt of these instructions 1t was
announced that the United States would
accept nothing.
While the supreme council virtually
passes out Of being it was explained
that there will still be informal meet
ings between Premier Clemenceau, Pre-
mier Lloyd George and others to con
clude final details that could not be
settled otherwise.
The council has decided TO publish
without delay the decisions OF the second
conference, dealing chiefly with Turkey
and Fiume, it was understood this
afternoon.

NEW DEADLOCK
CONFRONTEDBY
TREATY FORCES
Latest Democratic Proposals
for Compromise Unsatis-
factory to G. o. P.
POLITICS ON BOTH SIDES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The peace
treaty situation today appeared to have
resolved itself into another deadlock.
There seemed to be scant prospect OF
any immediate compromise, republican
leaders having rejected the latest demo-
cratic proposal for notifications OF the
Lodge reservations, although some Of
the republican mild reservationists' still
professed willingness to dicker with the
democrats.
BOTH SIDES PLAYING
POLITICAL GAME.
Conflicting reports, emanating from
cIoakroom pow-wows made the situation
all the more difficult to size up accurate
Iy. 1t was patent to close observers that
both sides were playing politics while
waiting to see how far one another would
WELD under the pressure being exerted
by outside influences bent upon ratih-
cation.
Reduced to "brass tacks," 1t was eyi-
dent the situation was still a simple
mathematical one, involving the necessity
Of sixty four senator's, or twothirds of
the senate, agreeing upon ratification. SO
far all efforts to effect such an agree
ment. based on the Lodge or other reser-
vations, had met with complete failure,
it was admitted.
FIFTY SENATORS
DESIRE RATIFICATION.
But fifty senators, republican and dem
ocratic, were really desirous OF ratifca-
tion. 1t was declared, while Senator
sRadge, the republican leader had enough
senators pledged to oppose any material
change in the Lodge reservations to block
ratification indefinitely.
Senators opposed to ratification in any
form and to the entry of the United
States into the league of nations under
any circumstances persisted in their dec
laration that ratification was as remote
as ever and the treaty would stick an
