"We must keep ourwelves In position to help China," said Mr, Hitchcock, "and wo cannot do that unless we ratify tha treaty, enter the league and then Insist on these promise being performed," "The President might havo done (or China what ho la now doing In the mat ter of tho Adriatic, but he did not," said Senator Whroot (Wla,), "Tha rresl dont'a promise from Japan 'was to re turn only tho 'sovereign right' In Shan tung, That would leave her perfectly free without assent to retain her com mercial and economic domination, which la what she wants.

The original Lodge language waa: The Cohgrcs of. the United Sta'cs will provide by law for the appoint ment of tho representatives of the United States in the Council and As sembly of the League of Nations, and may In it discretion provide for the participation of the United States In any commission, committee, tribunal, ( court, council or conference, or in the selection of any members thereof, and for the appointment of members of said commissions, committees, tribu nals, courts, councils or conferences, or any other representatives under tho treaty of peace, or in carrying cut its provision; and until such partici pation and appointment have been so provided for and the powers and du ties of such representative have been defined by law no person shall rep resent the United States under either cald League of Nations or the treaty of peace with Germany, or be author tied to perform any act Xor or on ,be half of the United States thereunder; and no citizen of the United States shall be selected or appointed as a member of said commissions, com tnltees, tribunals, courts, councils or conferences except with the approval of the Senate. tVordlnc of Snbstltnte. The bl-partlean conference had pro posed to substitute for this and Senator Lodgo now offered the following: No person is or shall be authorized to represent the United States, nor nhall any citizen of the United States be eligible as a member of any body or agency established or authorized by said treaty of peace with Ger many except pursuant to an act of the Congress of the United States pro viding for his appointment and de fining his power and duties. Senator Hitchcock objected to some features or the substitute, and this called down the wrath of Senator Lenroot Both had been members of the bi-partisan conference. Mr. Lenroot charged that the substitute bad been drawn by Senator Walsh (Mon.). Democrat, and supported by Senator Hitchcock in the conference: now Mr. Stltchcock waa finding fault with it If the conference, members on the Democratic aide did not Intend to be bound by its decisions It was useless to consider any -moro of them, he insisted. Senator Hitchcock resented this vigor ously. He sold the conferees were not bound to support the propositions on which tentative agreements bad beeu reached. Senator Lodge, supporting the Lenroot protest declared himself done with con ference proposals if the very Democrats who made them would no; : now export them. Accordingly he withdrew the 'SSZ iruiuiY - - v- - h . the waters by urging that there had been general agreement that it waa a better draft, covered exactly tha same ground and ought to he suDsruuieo. Senator Heed offered an amendment to the substitute providing for Senatorial confirmation of appointments; later he withdrew it being convinced that It waa unnecessary, as that right would 'rest wlth,the Senate anyhow. Brnndecee A ski (or tight. Senator Townsend (Mich.) pleaded, for the substitute. He considered It .better In form and at any rate a step toward compromise that ;mtghj at Jength make ratification possible. Senator Brandczeft (Conn.) demanded that the procea verbal and all proceed ings of the bi-partisan conference be spread before tha Senate. tThla Ver sailles conference No. V he said, "la be coming as strange and mysterious to the Senate aa Versailles conference No. L The conferees appear to have agreed on V a variety of matters which aa soon aa they get Into the Senato they do. not agree on and will not support.

"If the Democrats An not llkar .the coanges thai Jf proposed at their in. stance bl -iu effort to compromise, of course there Is no use offering them." assented Senator Lenroot Theio amendments,' said Senator Mc- Cormlck (III.), "are Intended to mean one thing In one part ot the country, another thing in another part; to mean one thing In Europe, another thing here.

Newberry would not neces sarily means a like outcome aa to the other eighty-four men on trial with the United States Senator. The court held that the prosecution had made out a prima facie case and that there was ample evidence "to warrant a verdict of guilty if the Jury sees fit to render one." First testimony for the defence was heard at the afternoon session. The ruling aa to the atatus of Senator Newberry came in the midst of. argu ments for directed verdicts in the cases of specified respondents. Arguing for Thomas P. Phillips, Han nibal Hopkins ana William camon, members of the publicity staff at New berry headquarters in Detroit, Jamea O.

Lloyd George waa asked In the House of Commons to-day on what date Amer ica had definitely refused to accept a mandate" for Constantinople and whether America had been consulted concerning the .Turkish peace terms. The Premier replied that the United States did not definitely refuse to accept the mandate, but had withdrawn from the discussions. The peace terms with Turkey are still under discussion, he added, and the American, Government has declined an invitation to be present at the .con ference. Replying to a further question regard ing the massacre of Armenians, Lloyd George said this had been tho subject of very anxious consideration at the al lied conference, and the conferees had reached a decision which had been com municated to their representatives at Constantinople. It would not be ad visable, added the Premier, to make pub lic at tho moment the character of that decision. What would be done regarding it would depend upon the advice to be received from' the Turkish capital, "Wo are awaiting that'ndvlce now," continued the Premier, "but I can assure the House that we are fully alive to the gravity of the position and to the need of taking very strong measures to pro tect minorities as far as can be done in a country of this kind.
