 its declaration regarding the articles
 obligations. Some of the Democrats
 were satisfied with it, but 2S was | the peak of Democratic votes which
 its Republican advocates claimed fo, 1 it. and it would take at least 2O and
 probably 94 fo" ratification
 It was indicated that President 1 Wilson's new letter on the subject. although it failed to stop the con- 1 promise negotiations. had not been without effect in stiffening th~ ad- miniStration ranks against anythili1, 1 like the old Republican reservatiC... Democratic senators were in dis | agreement over what the president | would do in the event of a comDro- | mise ratification, and many of them 1 declared their intention to let the douht resolve itself in favor of conservative course.
 So discouraged were the Republi- can leaders that they had not decided tonight whether their substitute res ervation would be offered at all in the senate. They indicated. however. that they would not long delay ac- tion in the interests of compromise and that the debate to beoin tomor- row probably would last but a few days.
 The way to consideration of the subject on the senate floor was clear ed. just before adjournment. bv re- adoption. in modified form. of the reservation on voting power in the ! league. As it finally prevailed the reservation. the last excent that re- lating to article ten, on the ReDubli- can program, declares that until the covenant is amended so as to give equal voting power, the United States declines to be bound by decisions to which congress has not previously given consent.
 The vote on readoption of the res ervation was 5T to 20 with r Dem ocrats voting for it, nine more than supported it in November.

Cal ifornia, also was remtroduced by Senator Phelan, Democrat, Califor- mia, but was voted down. 73 to A.
 In the course of the days debate on the voting power reservation. Sen ator Lodge told the senate that the presidents letter had emphasized the features of article ten" to which Re publicans were objecting and thus had touched upon the vital agree mentS of the whole treaty contro- versy The article MT. Lodge de- scribed as binding agreement based on national force," a characteristic which, he said, the president appar- ently regarded as essential. but which the senate majority never would ac- cept. He also criticized the presi- dents references to France and to the Adriatic question
 In presenting the new draft to the Democrats the Republican leaders represented it as embodying the farthest step they were willing Co take in the direction of compromise and to have refused plea from Deut, ocrstic senators that the words ''or to interfere in controversies between nations. whether members of the league or not" be stricken out.
 Tn these negotiations both Senators Lodge and Hitchcock refrained from taking an active part, but friends of the Republican leader declared they felt certain he would give his assent to the compromise.
 MT. Hitchcock on the other hand. was represented as unwilling to ac- cept the proposal.
 It was announced tonight that conference of some Democrats in favor of reservations would be held ----------- tS-s---s----------'- ---'--''-------------------
