vnnced the opinion that the Itcuubllcans
had worked themselves "Into a very
awkward position" and had split them
selves In the Senate and In the country.
One 6ff&6t bt the failure of the' Senate
to ratify thi treaty will be the contin
uation of the various wartime lwa nnd
regulation at leajf until the new sii

this means of legally ending the war.
There also Is a constitutional question
as to whether Congteed can do so with
but ipqulrlng the signature ot tho Presi
dent to the act.

would vote for the resolution of ratifica
tion as offered by Senator. Lodge. Same
of tho reservation he did not like, but
the treaty wotltd better tie ratified with
than without them.- Disliking to tllsa
gr6 with his own party, he must do
what he ronsldefid his duty, said he.
Senator Knox (Ph.) said he would
voto against the Lodge resolution.
Wlir He Opi)oe Treaty.
"I have voted In the Commltteo. on
Foreign Relations nnd also. In the Sen
ate for th6 reservations, that are at
tached to this' resolution of ratification, '
he explained, "but I Intend to Votf
Against the resolution ot ratification.
"I voted for tho reservation because
I wanted to make the treaty as little
harmful Arid as little obnoxious to ohr
Constitution as It was possible, keep
ing In view the temper of the coirtmlt
tee and the temper of the Seriate.
"nut while tV5 reservations havi
been helpful In ihat direction, In my
deliberate judgment, formed after the
most cartful and painstaking study ot
this Instrument, a study undertaken
with no original attitude of unfriendli
ness towafd it, as It stands with theee
reservations It Is my Judgment that it
Imposes obligation upon tho United
States which under our Constitution
cannot be Imposed by the treaty making
power."
At this point Senator Lodge offered
the text of the letter from President
Wilfon td Seriator Hitchcock advlslnp
Democrats to vote against the Lodgd
resolution. "As the Senator from Ne
braska has not offered It I will," said
Jtr. Lodfce drily. "Coriimtht seems
superfluous."
Aiipeal of the rte!i!ett.
The letter of ih President rads t
Ml Dear Schator T6U were good
enough to bring me word that tho
Democratic Senators supporting the
treaty expected to hold a conference
between the final votes on the Lodge
resolution of ratification, and that
they wohld be glad to receive a word
of counsel from me.
I should hesitate to offfr it in any
detail, bht I nssunla tHat the Senators
only desire my judgment upon the all
Important question of the final vote
on the resolution containing the many
reservations of Senator Lodge. On
that f cannot hesitate, for In my opin
ion the resolution1 Ih that form does
not provide fdf ratification bht rather
for the nullification of he treaty. I
sincerely hope that the friends and
snpporters Of the treaty will vote
against the Lodge resolution of ratifi
cation. t undrrsl-jnd that the door will
then probably be open f6f a genuine
resolution of ratification.
1 trust that all ffUe friends of tho
treaty will refuso to suppott the
Lodge resolution.
Cordially rind sincerely youis.
WooDr.ow Wilson.
Senator Thomas (Col.) announced he
would vote against the ratification reso
lution for reasons he Had often given
and did not need to repeat.
Itolilnaon Kxplritrii Mnud.
Senator Robinson (Afk.) falrt for very
different reasons' ho wduld votd with
Senator Knox. After months of con
sideration It seemed likely the treaty
would fall. The Senate wrts In his opin
ion about to vote on an alleged ratifica
tion resolution. Hut really It was a rejec
tion of the treaty. He regretted that
some Senators who had favored the rati
fication and desired to Improve Hit)
treaty were now lending themselves trf
tho enemies of the treaty, to kilt It. It
would be unpardonable for Its friends to
assist In Imposing conditions that would
kill it.
Senator Sherman (111.) said he was
pledged to support Ihe committee reser
vations. He took that pledge when ho
took his oath of office 'to uphold Ameri
can Institutions. The country wanted
peace, and the reservations seemed the
best' that could be had, though they did
not satisfy hlni.
"I will support the treaty With these
reservations," he said, "but would not
without them. In this leaguo I see many
dangers I wish were out. of It. It will
bo better to defeat It entirely than to
ratify without any qualifications."

THE' SUN, THURSDAY,
President threatened so to Intertwine
treaty bf!d leagUe that they could not
bo separated, Mr. lirandegee continued
Senators were threatened by flhanclal
interests, he said, and ojhers, and great
pressure brought to compel them to
support th6 treaty. Yet uliriost iidGdd
knew what was Ih tho treaty. Instead
of a intrS peaee treaty It was "ri world
constltull6n," as the President had said.
Senator Hitchcock followed. Hefer
rlng to an observation by Senator
Rrandegee, he commented on tho hu
hior 6f the suggestion fli.it Senator
Lodgd was attempting to lead hi to the
paths of Ihtcrnatidnal Socialism by
getting tho treaty ratified arid this
coUptry Urivoivcd in It.
"How can Senators treat the demand
of tho world for peaco as a matter of
Jest 'and gibe?" demanded Jfr. Hitch
cock. 'This country was committed be
fore the world to a, Ldague of Nations
long before' the War's end. Thfc I'risI'
dent declared for It In January( 19l8
and was universally approved. Hut
these reservations Include several that
canriol be accepted. Several wouid b$
highly obnoxious to our Allies."
henervntlrifM Drawn by Friends.
Senator Ktlloft'g (Mlfin.j made a vig
orous speech In reply to Mr. Hitchcock
"How can we hope for any compromise
now?" he asked. "For. three months
nnd nidrd Seriator Hitchcock had de
clared that the treaty inusl be ratified
without any chaiige. lie would not
listen thin to cnpromlse. It Is not
true that these reservations hdvo been
sprung Unexpectedly oil the Senato or
that It had been told to take these1 jr
none. They have been drawn by
friend?, not enemies, ot tho treaty. But
Senator Hitchcock has stood firmly to
prevent any reasonable reservations
at all.
"I am tired of this sort of talk. I
will not vote for a treaty that docs not
protect out national . Interests', Inde
pendence and honor. Theso reservations
will do that. Only as recently as No
vember lo Senator JtltchcoCK onered n
substitute for our reservation on Article
X. which Is In every essential, even In
language, so similar to that by the com.
tnlttee that I defy nhy man to define the
difference. Then he was willing to ac
cept what was In effect th same as thd
Idge reservation. Now he Is unwilling
to do that, and finds that tho Ixlge
reservation would take the heart out of
the treaty.
"Generally the reservations known as
the Lodge reservations do not differ In
legal effect from those which Senntor
Hitchcock himself has offered dealing
with the same, matters. Why, then, will
not Senator Hitchcock accept the Lodgo
ones? His attitude has been -'You will
take It as It Is or not at all.' I have
been as eagfr ris rinj Senator here for
peace, hut I Insist on peacn with honor
and protection to my country. My first
duty Is to It."
norflh's f-'lnnl Appeal.
Senator fldrah (Idaho), who had
hardly risen In his place for several
days, here took tbo floor for his last ap
peal against the treaty.
"I dri not doubt' said Mr. Ilofab.
"that sooner or later and all too soon,
as I view It this treaty will be ratified.
Including the League bf Nations and the
reservations as novV framed. Possibly
there will be sllcht changes Ih the reser
vations to glvo Justification for the claim
of a common parentage Of therii. Hut
they will he adopted: and therefore this"
I as good a time as any for me to slate
my view of It and my reasons for voting
against Its ratification.
''Article XI. of the covenant Is un

ominously that the organization back of

Then came the most amazing parlia
mentary tangle anybody could remem
ber, i-'enator Hitchcock offered a new set
of reservations. Before they could be
read Senator I)dge arose.
''The Chair,'1 he said, "has ruled that
the voto to reconsider carried the com
mittee resolutions back to the Committee
of the Whole. I Insist that It does not
that Instead It carries' It only hack lo
the stage In the Senato where It was be
fore the first vote was taken on it. From
that decision I appeal."
On the question, "Shall the ruling ot
the Clinlr stand as the decision of tho
Senato?" tho roll was called and the
Chair overruled, 51 to 42. This was,
practically a party vo'.
Again rienaor !llt(icu('!; attempted to
offer a reservation. Senators LodKO and
Lenroot demanded to know what was
the question before the Senate.
The Vice-President summarized his
pofltlon, Indicated two or three day3 ago.
The S' -inte, ho said, could determine all

"In t'.e Chair's opinion, since tho recon

"Can any amendment bo offered to a
proposition that Is not before the Sen

"I have ruled that other articles of
reservation, resdlutlohs of ratification cr
amendments, are in order," replied the
Chair.
''It Is In order also to move to re
commit, to Indefinitely postpone or to
send the treaty to the President," added
the Vice-President.
Senator rolndexter (Nash.) ralsed the
point of order that the LoWo resolli'

first reservation, lie proposed to strike
from that reservation the part which
required that tho American reservations

Senator Lodgo said that In View of
the overruling of the Chair, this was riot
In order, but the Chair Insisted that it
was, and another appeal was taken, this
time by Senatol1 J'olndcxter. Again the
Chair was overruled ,by CO to 43.-
The next move was Senator McCum
bcr's, and ho moved to reconsider thS
vote by which the first reservation wai
adopted.
"The Senator from North Dakota
cahn6t tnako a motldti to reconsider that
vote," Interposed Senator Penrose (Pa.),
"becauso lie did not vote for It."
This caused an outburst of laughter.
The point was sound, and Senator Mc
Cumber was silenced.
Theli, mainly to gain tltrie, Senator
Robinson (Ark.) consumed some of the
lireclous time still remaining to him, dc-
Iclaring that the Senate was proceeding
in utter violation oi its ruics anu prece
dents. "After overwhelmingly defeating the
Lodge ratification resolution," he said,
"tlie Senate Is tiow proceeding, In dls

At this point Senator tlhderwdod took
