Washington. Mar. g. While the treaty debate dragged on in the sen ate today without action, the treaty s friends began d final determined cf- fort to rescue it from the deadlock toward which all leaders agree it again is headed.
 Republican and democratic sena- tors joined in the movement, but they were only moderately hopeful of success. Putting collateral is- sues aside, they addressed their eff forts to the republican reservation to Article X, long the storm center of the whole treaty fight, which the republican leaders say they cannot modify and which President Wilson has said he cannot accept.
 Some compromise proponents pro- fessed to see possibility that an ac- ceptable modification yet might be formulated. Others believed that despite assurances of democratic leaders, enough democrats to put through the reservation as it stands might yet be induced to quit the presidents lead.
 The confidence of the treaty's ir- reconcilable opponents apparently was not shaken and leaders of the two parties maintained that ratifica- tion would fail.
 The subject technically before the senate all day was the Snantung res erva ation, but it got only passing mention as the discussion rambled over the whole battle-ground of the issues that have been debated, al- most continuously for more than a year. Among other things, the Adriatic question again was brought into the debate while Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, enlivened the proceedings, With bitter attack on Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader
 Reed Is Better.
 The course of President Wilson in condemnng the proposed Adriatic settlement was approved by Sena- tor Borah. republican, of Idaho who declared the executive was right in asserting that the United States could not join in European settle mcnts unless they were to be based on new rule of justice in interna- tional contracts. But the allies Adriatic proposal itself, the senator argued, showed that the old regime still ruled in European politics.
 Senator Borah, republican,, assert ed that the old regime still ruled in European courts and that the stand of the allied countries in the Adria- tic controversy was only another il- lustration that the new day, prophes- jed by President Wilson, had not come.
 In reply, Senator Hitchcock, Ne braska. the democratic leader, declar- ed that some European nations, par ticularly Great Britain, had become democracies in some cases more re- sponsive to public opinion than the government of the United States"
 "The voice of an American has
 become the mocking sound of svcophant of Great Britain,
 Senator Reed, democrat, of Mis-
 souri declared. "It is the vice
 of this treaty that it has poison
 ed the fountains of pure patriot ism for the senior senator from Nebraska (Mr. Hitchcock). He
 stands here like brass monkey claiming that all is pure and
 holy over there, while the pres
 ident is threatening to withdraw
 the treaty and the league of na-
 tions because old Adam still
 rules the diplomacy of Europe.
 Picture to yourself, if you
 can, the senator walking down the streets of the beautiful city
 of Omaha. his. white hair lifted to the native breezes of Nebras-
