 WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The treaties of peace negotiated by the administration with Germany, Aus tria, and Hungary were approved to- day by the senate foreign relations committee. but with two reservations
 One reservation-similar to Lodge reservation to the treaty Of Yer sailles-would require an act of con- gress prior to representation or par ticipation in any foreign agencies or commissions by an American repre- sentative whose nomination would have to be confirmed by the senate The other is designed to protect the property rights of American citizens as well as of the American govern ment in the three former enemy countries.
 Adoption of the two reservations brought from the White House the statement that while President Hard ing had not seen their text he favored the principles involved and no ob- lection would be reached by the ad- ministration to ratification with the proposed reservations attached

Republican leader and commit tee chairman.
 The treaties. Senator Lodge an- nounced, are to be called before the senate tomorrow when he plans to make a preferential motion for their discussion ahead of all other busi- ness. It is proposed, however, to give right of way next week to the tax bill and to have night sessions. be- ginning probably next Tuesday in an effort to hasten ratification.
