CHANGE PROPOSED
IN new ARTICLE
10 RESERVATION

WASHINGTON, March 13.-In an
effort to reunite the Republican SEN
ate forces, Senator Lodge, of Mass
| achusetts. the party leader, today in
troduced an amendment to the sub
stitute Article X reservation yester-
day.
The change proposed at the sugges-
tion of Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, leader of the irreconcilables,
| would insert the words, Including all
controversy relating to territorial in
tegrity or political independence" in
describing the international contro-
versies in which the United States
would not interfere.
Introduction in the senate of mod
flied reservation to Article x of the
league of nations covenant, caused
speculation as to whether President
Wilson would inform Democratic lead
ers Of his atituS, toward the new
qualifications. In the past he has
usually taken steps to let his party
know whether pending reservations to
the treaty were acceptable to him.
Vote Is Postponed.
The modified reservation did not
serve to clarity the befuddled situa-
tion. Instead it caused postponement
Of the expected vote on Article X
which probably will not come until
Monday or Tuesday.
Irreconcilable opponents of the
treaty condemned the sub-qualifica-
ton as Republican capitulation" to
the white house, while the mild res
ervationists Of the party followed the
Leadership of Senator Lodge, who in
troduced it. Democrats generally had
aothing to say about it except Senator
Hitchcock, who declined to accept it.
Despite defections from the Repub-
lican ranks because of the changes in
the reservation the Republican leaders
said they could hold thirty votes for
it. leaving thirty-four votes for the
Democrats to deliver if the treaty is to
be ratified with the sub attached. Eff
forts to amend the substitute prob
ably will be made in which case all
existing line ups may be overturned
