 There was less optimism expressed today for success of the present move ment, although the round table" dis cussions are expected to continue for some time.
 Because it is believed publicity might be harmful, those in conference were chary today of public discussion. In private conversations, however, spokes- men of both factions said there still was a wide gulf to be preached. Head ing the obstacles is the reservation af- fecting article 10 of the league of na- tions covenant, and on this it was stated reliably, neither republicans nor democrats were showing as yet much disposition toward agreement.
 In addition to the conference today between Senator Lodge and the two mild reservation" republicans who are on the informal republican commit tee. the republican leader saw Senator Borah. republican Qdaho), one of the leading foes of the treaty.

JOURNEY TO MOON MIGHT BE POSSIBLE
 BY AID OF ROCKET
TRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Rear Admiral William S. Sims today announced his belief in the possibility of a rocket reaching the moon from the earth. Tn answer to an editorial expression of incredulity as to the device in vented by Prof. Goddard of Clark col lege and tested under the auspices of the Smithsonian institution, the ad- miral wrote to a newspaper a little essay about what a projectile will do in a vacuum. When he was in the naval academy his class was asked this in examination:
 ''will d rocket ascend in vacuum? If so, why? If not. why not7"
 Feeling ran high on the subject. Advocates of both sides pardded with banners reading: Tt will go up" and "It won't go up" Then the professor proved with a water bottle, the letter says, that a rocket would ascend in a vacuum for the same reason that gun would kick if fired in a vacuum and that the propelling force of rocket was nothing but a continuous kick.
 If this is true." the letter con- tinues, the rocket referred to will ascend after passing above the earth's atmosphere and Jules Verne was cor rect in his conception that an ex- plosion from his huge projectile would produce kick while circling the moon and thus release it from the attraction of that satellite"
