FOUR emoCRATs SWITCH TO
SUPPORT OF QUALIFIED PACT
Old Reservation Again Adopted and
Treaty Moves Still Further Te.
ward Campaign Issue

Washington. Feb. 23.-The first Of
the reservations attached to the peace
treaty last November was readopted,
unchanged. and by an increased major.
ity, in the senate Saturday after the
treaty's irreconcilable foes, holding the
balance of power, had baked the eff
forts of Republican and Democratic
leaders to secure modification in the
interests of compromise.
The outcome, although involving the
detection Of four more Democratic
senators from the ranks of those who
have stood against all reservations,
generally was accepted by all elements
in the senate as tightening the treaty
deadlock and bringing the question Of
ratification one step nearer the politi-
cal campaign.
ForeShadOwing the same conclusion,
most of the debate preceding the roll
call revolved about the treaty as the
campaign issue and drew from con-
spicuous figures on the Republican
side a volley of criticism of the ut
terances made on the subject Thursday
by Elihu Root in his address before the
New York Republicans.
Senator Johnson Of California, an
active candidate for the party's presi-
Dental nomination. pronounced tut
terly silly" the declaration of Mr..
Root that the United States should en-

practically impossible" and Senator
Borah of Idaho, a leader among the
Republican irreconcilables. gave no.
tice that he would carry on his fight
before the people. regardless of the
action Of the party's national cOnven-
ton.
The reservation on which the SEN
ate acted relates to withdrawal from
membership in the league, providing
that this nation shall be the sole
Judge whether it's obligations have
been fulfilled in case it desires to with
draw, and that notice of withdrawal
may be given by concurrent resolu-
ton of congress. The vote on it's
adoption was As to 20. 10 Democrats
joining the solid Republican lineup
supporting it. Four of these had stood
on all previous roll calls steadfastly
against any qualifications on the
treaty.

BATAVIA OIL FIELD
MAY BE LOST TO u. S.
Hollands Parliament Con-
siders Exclusive Concession
to Dutch Group.
open DOOR INVOLVED
Legation Reports to Wash
ington Facts as to Proposed
Legislation.
open DOOR INVOLVED

THE HAGUE, Nov 24.-The American
Legation here has taken up with the
Washington Government the question of
the virtual barring of American oil in
terests from the Djamb oil fields in the
Dutch East Indies if the Dutch Parlia-
ment approves the bill already intro
duced in Parliament, under which the
Batavia Oil Company. one of the Dutch
group. would gain an exclusive conces-
sion.
The Batavia company is 60 per cent.
Dutch and 40 per cent. British. The
American principle Of the open door,
recently expressed in regard TO the
Anglo French oil situation in Mesopo-
tam.a, may apply In this case, it is said
here.
The Dutch contention. however Is
that the laws of the East Indies limit
concessions there to Dutch-controlled
companies. There are Standard OIL
subsidiaries, in which much stock is
held by Hollanders, operating both in
Holland and the Indies with Dutch
directors.
Prospecting in the Djambi oil fields
has been virtually suspend ed since 1912
because of complications in the Indies
law and rival bidding for concessions
by American. Dutch and English inter-
ests. In 1917 the Dutch Parliament, at
the time largely made up of Socialists.
passed law for Government operation
of the Indies fields. Since then the
entire matter has been at a standstill.

Here to Protest Against
Constantine.

near riot because of the presence OF
a royalist and the denunciation of the
widow of William B. Leeds, multi-mil
llonsfre of New York city, were features
Of a meeting held last night In the Ortho-
dox Greek Church OF St. Eleutherios on
Greeks. gathered to protest TO the Ameri-
can and European governments against
the restoration of Constantine TO the
Greek throne.
Before the meeting was under way
George Nicholas. who was to preside
recognized in one of the pews Demetrias
Theophilatus. a supporter Of King Con
stantine and the president of an organi-
cation known as the Greek-Americal
Loyaltist League. He requested Theo-
philatus to leave the meeting and when
TheoIhilatus began to argue the crowd
recognized him and began to shout PUT
him out Traitor Pro-German !" a
rush was made for the place where ne
was standing and il was only with the
greatest effort that Nicholas and the
Rev. Stephans Macaronis were able 20
hold back the crowd until two policemen
arrived and escorted Theophlatus to the
street and part way home The final
shot was pail of water that was emp
tied on Theophilatus's head as he went
down the stairs.
The meeting then got under way.
Every speaker had great praise for the
work of the recently defeated Prime
Minister Eleutherios Venizelos. who was
called the Savior of the republic" Vt
every mention of his name by a speaker
the crowd cheered loud ard long ana
cries OF "Zito Venizelos - filled the hall.
Two Of the speakers who addressed III
audience in Greek made mention of the
belief that the election was borght b.
the money of the widow of William 3.
Leeds. who recently married Prince
christopher of Greece. The mention Of
her name brought catcalls and Kisses.
Cleanthes Vassardakis, eX-consul. said
in English that in the recent election the
Greek people were swerved by the L.
farious propaganda spread by means OF
Mrs. Leeds's money.
A. A. Athena. who also spoke in
English, said it was hard to understand
how a woman born and raised in a
country so democratic could spend
American dollars TO put back on the
throne OF Greece a man who is the
enemy of Greece and of all democratic
principles.
The final action Of the meeting was
the signing by every one of the more
than three thousand Greeks present, of
resolution protesting against the res
toration of Constantine.
