TWO MORE REPUBLICAN, TREATY RESERVATIO READOPTED BY SENA TE
Democrats Join Republic ans In Voting for Monroe Doctrine and Internal Af- fairs Reservations to the Treaty of Versailles Yes terday.
By Anssiasss rr,m

Washington, March 1.-Two more of the republican reserv- ations to the peace treaty, one of them affecting the bitterly debated Monroe doctrine DOT vision, were readopted in the Senate today without change and by greater majorities than they commanded when orig inally presented last Noven- Der.
 The Monroe doctrine reservation, which senators have been told is scarcely less objectionable to President than that relating to Article 10, gov the support of fifteen democrats and won by vote of 5S to g, after sub stitute drafted by the democratic lead CTS had been rejected. The vote on the republican proposal was 55 to S4 in November, when only nine democrats supported it,
 The other reservation acted on as- serts the full Jurisdiction of the United States over purely domestic questions and was adopted. 5e to s5,gwith four teen democrats helping 10 make up the majority.
 Tn November it got the votes of only eleven democrats and was adopted, 59 to s6.
 FINAL DEADLOCK ARRIVES
 Little debate attended the Senate s action, all clements apparently con- ceding the successive roll calls were merely formalities to let everyone go deadlock which now generally is eS- pected to put the treaty over into the campaign. old rumblings of the bitter tight over the reservations in Novem- ber kept coming to the surface, how ever, despite the efforts of the leaders to bring discussion to a close, and in most quarters predictions of a ratifica ton vote this week were extended
 On the monroe doctrine reservation sevcn deuocrats who did not vote for adoption in November swung over to the republicans on today's roll call They were Senators Reckhara. Ken turky Fletcher. Florida. Pittman and JIsnderson, Nevada King, Utah. Smith Georgia, and Myers Montana. Theif detection on that issue was declared by the republicans to be significant de- ve1opment in view of the recent intima- tions reaching democratic senators that the President had singled out the Mon. roe doctrine and Article 10 reserya- tions as particularly objectionable
 SUBSTITUTE LOST
 It was over these two reservations tho bipartisan compromise negota fions came to grief, the republican leaders serving notice they would con sent to no modification in either and the democrats indicating neither would be acceptable as they stood On the democratic substitute presented today by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the party leader, the vote was strictly or party lines except for Senators Reed Missouri, and Shields, Tennessee, whd -e tcors,.-es on Pare Two,
