THE PEOPLE HEARD FROM.

The American people arc begin
ming TO take hand in the treaty
controversy. That is the eXplana-
ton Of the change that has suddenly
come over the Senate. That is why
the Washington correspondents are
confident that compromise is in
sight.
During the recess of Congress for
the holidays the mild rcservatioon-
lists have taken hold of the matter
in an earnest effort to work out
something that the Democrats can
agree to. Mr.. Lodge tried TO force
the President 10 make another
move, but the President said the
matter was with the Senate and that
he would lake no further action.
1t is believed at Washington that
the treaty will be ratified by Jan.
18th. In the meantime the Allies
though greatly disappointed in the
action of the Senate and hampcred
by it are going ahead with the peace
settlements and the league Of ma
lions and Germany seems less re-
fractOry.
