ate Until a Vote is Reached on
Ratification.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.--Unin-
terrupted Senate consideration of the
peace treaty until a vote is reached on
ratification will begin Thursday under
a plan announced in the Senate yester-
day by Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader The suggestion was received
without objection from the Democratic
side.
The decision to keep the treaty up
continually was regarded generally as
likely TO bring quickly to decision

ocrats regarding reservations.
Democratic senators who believe the
Republican reservations should be ac-
cepted continued their movement for
party caucus to discuss policy and
predicted that such a meeting would be
held before che end of the week.
Returning to the Capitol yesterday
after an absence of two days, Senator
Hitchcock, the Democratic leader, said
he had not been approached with the
proposal for q party caucus.
"if any considerable number of Dem
ocrats want such a conference" he said
81 certainly shall not oppose the sug-
gestion,"
Republican claims that twenty two
Democrats had shown a willingness to
accept the Republican reservations
without change were said by the
Democratic leader to be probably ex-
aegerated," but he added that he had
not made a canvass of the situation
during the last few days
