KELLOGG TREATY
 WILL BE RATIFIED
Some Doubt as to Reservations
 Exists

Washington, Jan. 12 R-With promises against filibustcr on record, senate leaders believe tho battle for an interpretation of the Kellogg anti-war treaty will come to a head shortly and a final vote will follow immediately.
 No doubt is held by friends or foe of the treaty that it will be rat flied when the senate votes. The only question is whether some con- struction shall be placed upon the treaty and in what manner this shall be done. Proponents say no con- struetfon is necessary and that none can be voted.
 Chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee, in charge of the treaty, was ready today to re- new his proposal for limitation on debate. His suggestion yesterday to limit debate after 3 D. m. today was defeated by the objection of Senator Moses. republican, New Hampshire, the author of the inter- pretative resolution.
 Encouraged by the appeal of Sen ator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, for an interpretative declaration, the "reservationists" took heart yester- day. The veteran Missourian held the attention of crowded chamber and well filled gallery as he delivered his threatened attack on the treaty of words" and concluded that it amounted to a Trojan horse" filled with threat of domination over this country by the League of Nations.
 The direct appeal also of Senator Reed to Secretary Kellogg to remem- Der that he "is not the watchman' of the country and to sanction some form of interpretative declaration on the pact. event if only in the form of a report by the foreign relations committee, is hoped py the group seeking an interpretation to have some effect.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A decade has elapsed since the armistice turned the world from thoughts of war and has brought it long way on the road to perpetual universal peace.

 Governments long have dreamed of an utopian world in which war shall be no more, and the moves since the World war to swing the pendulum of world thought from military and naval preparedness to world peace has heartened the Washington government.
