G. 0. P. CHIEFS
TURN DOWN ALL
TREATY OFFERS
Suggestions Made by Demo-
cratic Senators Rejected
By Lodge Group.
TRY IT AGAIN TODAY
Bipartisan Conference Will
Seek Common Ground
For Ratification.

All proposals thus far advanced
by Democratic Senators for modifi-
cation OF the Lodge reservations on
the peace treaty were rejected yes
terday by Senator Lodge and other
Republicans.
This action again blocked prog
ress toward ratification and made
it another bad day for the COM
promisers. who believe that by al
tering the Lodge reservations they
will be able to get enough Demo-
cratic votes to ratify.
The suggestions put forward by
Democratic Senators were made at
the bipartisan conference Thurs
day in Senator Lodges ofhde. They
were rejected yesterday at a meet
ing of the four Republicans who
participated in the bipartisan
gathering-Lodge. New. Lenroot
and kellogg.
VIII Confer Again.
The bipartisan AFFAIR is to be
called together again today. when
Senator Hitchcock ano his associ-
ates will be informed their proposed
notifications will not do. They will
be asked to submit some other pro-
posal or a draft of new reserva-
tions upon which they think sixty
four Senators will be willing to
unite.
Senator Lodge said the Repub-
licans were in complete accord" on
the proposition of turning down the
Democratic suggestion for compro-
mise. This means there is small
likelihood of anybody being able to
come forward with plan OF
changing the Lodge reservations In
any manner which will be accept
able to the Republican Senators.
The alternative, as stated re-
peatedly by Senator Lodge. is full
acceptance by the Democrats of the
reservations just as they stand. de-
spite the dictum of the President t
that these particular reservations
are distinctly offensive to him and
cannot be accepted. :.
Hitchcock stirs Anirsus.
A speech made by Senator Hitch :
cock in the Senate earlier in the
day undoubtedly had something to
do with the action of the Repub-
licans in deciding against the Demo
cratic suggestions. In his speech
Senator Hitchcock violently assailed
the Lodge reservations and de-
clared not more than twenty-five
per cent of the people of the United
States would stand by them.
The occasion for the speech was
the presentation by Senator Hitch
cock of the reports of the college
poll throughout the country. The
Senator declared the results of the
poll showed seventy-ive per cent of
the college students favor ratifics-
tion without reservations. while not
more than twenty per cent stood
for the Lodge reservations.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
told Senator Hitchcock he thought
he had been very tactless in view
of the fact that discussion of the
Lodge reservations had been the ba-
sis of the conference held the day
before between leaders of the oppos-
ing factions.
Senators opposed to the league in
any form found food for reflection
in cabled news that Leon Bourgeois
had been chosen president OF the
league. Bourgeois was an avowed
enemy of the Monroe dostrine and
exerted all his influence in the Peace
Conference to inject into the treaty
an abrogation of that policy.

BANS TERRITORY GRAB
Secretary Baker Proposes
That Poland Be Given
Aid Without Delay.

The Russian situation came to the
fore again yesterday with two i'm
portant developments.
First was the State Departments
announcement of the text of the
note sent to the Imperial Japanese
government informing it of the in
tention of the United States to with
draw all of its troops from Siberia
after February 1.
Second was the imperative neces-
sity-a belief voiced by Secretary
of War Baker-to furnish assistance
Immediately to Poland.
Paris Meeting Important.
of deeper significance than either
deveopment. however. is the deci-
sion that soon must be made by the
allied and associated powers. The
meeting yesterday in Paris of Brit
ish statesmen and military leaders.
coupled with the position in which
Japan now finds herself as the re-
withdraw from Siberia. hastens the
necessity OF deciding whether war
shall be made against the Bolsheviki
or peace with them.
No part was taken in the Paris
conference by any American repre-
sentative.
But with regard to the relation of
the United States to Russia. the text
of the note to Japan makes plain
that this government will not sane

of Siberia by the japanese govern

The United States considers ia

The Japanese government. 1t YVES
said at the State Department. has
not made up its mind whether to
withdraw entirely from Siberia or
L. send reinforcements to cope with
the advancing Bolshevists. There
is Il strong sentiment IN Japan
against military intervention in Si-
beria on n large scale.
Three propositions with regard to
Siberia were advanced to the Amer
lean government by the japanese.
il was revealed by the note. The
first was that this govern ment send
sufficient reinfOrcements to act on
the offensive in cooperation with
anti forces against the
troops Of the Soviet republic, but
this was rejected as impracticable.
The second suggested continued
participation in regions now under
allied protection. but this too was
deemed inadvisable by the United
states because at anv time the ne
ccsyity might arise for reinforce
ments.
Rail Experts to Return.
The third suggestion was entire
or partial withdrawal. and because
the original mission of allied
troops-the repatriation Of Czecho-
SIovakian soldiers-will soon be ac-
complished. the United States de-
cided to withdraw all it's soldiers,
and even the American railway ex-
ports who have been supervising
the operation of the trans-Siberian
railroad
American transports will begin

February 1. and the debarkation of

WATER IN CALIFORNIA
MOST VALUABLE CROP

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ia. P)
Water is CALIFORNIA; most valuable
crop, according to the annual report
of the Railroad Commission of Cali
fornia to Governor w. ID. Stephens,
which says that the two fold develop
ment of water storage for irrigation
and power purposes will bring about
period of enormous development In
the state.
"California's streams and rivers. its
rainfall and its snowfall, must be
made to serve and serve well" the
governor was advised by the commits
sion.
Experts have estimated that 1t will
require between three quarters of a
billion and a billion dollars to con-
struct the necessary hydro-electric
power plants to care for future power
demands, and the commission said the
expenditure to carry out program
for the conservation of water for ir-
igation and domestic purposes un'
doubtedly would be as great.
California's paramount need Is
cheap power, says the commission,
because the state has no coal supply
and it's oil is needed for other pur-
poses.
Utilities today, the report continues
as result of regulation are selling
their product at q price nearer to the
prices of pre-war days than any other
commodity. gas and electric rates
having advanced on an average not
more than 40 percent, against 100 to
500 percent advances on other com
modities.

New rules have been drafted to
