PREPARE To RENEW
FIGHT OYER TREATY
Republican Leaders Will Suggest the
Adoption of Bipartisan Com
mittee's Modificat ton of
Lodge Reservations.

Washington, ID. G., Feb. THE mod
flied Lodge reservations, agreed on ten
tatively by the recently abandoned bi-
partisan committee, most likely will be

peace treaty will be resumed next
week.
Republican leaders, after a series OF
conferences with their party colleagues
Yesterday decided to take the initiative
on the Senate floor in suggesting adop.
tion OF the bipartisan committees
notifications of the Lodge reserNa-
tions. Although it is expected under
the decision that the original Republl-
can reservations will be attached TO the
treaty when il is referred to the foreign
relations committee, it is understood
that Senator Lodge will present the
modified draft as a substitute after
the committee has reported
Definite decision as to whether the
Democrats would accept the reserva
tions with these notifications will not
be reached, it was said yesterday, un-
iii to-day's conference of Democratic
friends of the treaty, and perhaps not
then. The general opinion prevailed,
however that the changes worked out
in the unofficial committee negotia
lions would prove satisfactory TO a ma.
ioritv of Democratic senators.
Acceptance of the bipartisan moditi.
cations by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats was considered as likely TO mar
row differences to a few of the promi
nent issues. In some quarters it was
predicted that II reservations proposed
for Incorporation in the ratification
would include two relating to article
10 and the Monroe doctrine.
There are many senators on both
sides of the chamber who predict that
some arrangement eventually will be
reached. This view is not shared by the
group OF irreconcilables opposing the
treaty, who held numerous conferences
during the day and viii meet again
