Washington, March IS. Al
though the senate today adopted
the new Lodge reservation to
article 10 of the league>of nations
covenant by vote of So to %, one
more than a two-thirds majority,
leaders on both sides tonight we're
predicting the defeat of the German
peace treaty on the ratification roll
cali the latter part of this week.
Senator Hitchcock relies upon Il
democratic senators to support the
presidents rejection of the reser-
vations, and, joining with Is or more
republican irreconcilables, ac-
complish the defeat of the treaty by
at least two votes.
Senator Lodge said he greatly
feared that no more hopeful view Of
the prospects could be taken than
that expressed by Senator Hitch
cock.
Hope of ratification is now
founded entirely on the possibility OF
several more democrats deserting
the administration, contingency
which Senator Hitchcock does not
fear and upon which Senator Lodge
does not rely.
