WASHINGTON, March 10 The
peace treaty ratification fight in the
Senate entered its final and most bit
terly contested phase today, with
Article 10 and the reservations thereto
the unfinished business until disposed
Of.
While debate on the much disputed
section Of the league of nations cove
nant is in progress, negotiations
looking to compromise on the Re-
publican reservations will be con-
tinued, though both sides frankly are
without much hope that an agreement
will be effected.
Several Republican leaders drafted
a substitute reservation yesterday for
which they said they obtained the sup
port of % Democrats, but even that
number Is from two to six short of the
minority votes needed by the majority
to ratify the treaty carrying quallfi-
cation which President Wilson has de-
clared cut the very heart" from the
pact.
The reservation on voting power in
the league, declaring that the U. S.
declines to be bound by decisions to
which congress has not assented until
voting power is made equal. was re-
adopted. 81 to 20.
Some Democrats favOring reser-
vations arranged for a, conference to-
day in the office of Senator Owen, OF
Oklahoma, in an effort to expedite
ratification.
About 200 Democratic senators at
tended the meeting called by Senator
Owen. Those present said no con-
crete action was taken, but some OF
.them predicted afterward that more
than a score of Democrats would vote
for ratification with the modified Re-
publican reservation.
There were evidences as the debate
on Article X began that the situation
on both sides of the chamber again
was influx, though in general senators
oppressed little hope of an agreement
that would bring two-thirds of the
senate together for ratification.
