an agreement to stay in session un-
til all reservations have been dis
posed of. AS further aid to speedy
action. the senate agreed that debate
on reservations shall be limited to
fifteen minutes for senator on any
one reservation. Lodge also gave
notice that he would ask that the
rule requiring the resolution Of rati-
fication to lie over day without
action be suspended
There Is bare possibility that the
fnal vote win come late today.
The conviction that it will for the
second time result in rejection IT
the treaty, was strengthened by the
senate's defeat late yesterday Of the
Lenroot reservation, declaring it 10
be the American policy that in the
event Of the threat Of another war in
Europe, the United States would CON
eider Whist action it should take.
Reservations Rejected.

proposed by Senator Reed providing
that the United States keeps to itself
the right to decide what questions
affect its national honor and interest
and Withholding all such questions
from the jurisdiction Of the league of

fered another, providing that the
United States assumes no obligation
to use it's military or naval forces,
under any article Of the treaty for
any purpose ...

ment to include Korea. He declared
the reservation ought also to include
the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii,
Guam and the island Of Yap.

people to obtain self government
