LORD GREY PRESENT AT RIRTH OF HOOVER ROOM
Lodge Announces Bipartisan
Conference Is Postponed
Until Monday.
COMPROMISE HOPES WANE
'"Irreconcilables" Hold Loss of
Leadership Club Over
Senator.
The bipartisan treaty conference
was again called off today by Sen
ator Lodge. Ixwlgc notified Demo
cratic Senator? he wished to consult
with his Republican colleagues.
The calling off of today's confer
ence was the lirst direct result of
yesterday's insurrection in Republi
can ranks, which brought about a j
warning to Lodge that any compro- ?
mise on the treaty would endanger j
party solidarity and his leadership. !
ITill 1'robabl.v Meet Monday.
Lodge and the Republican conferees |
went Into secret session to discuss
? heir roiinc in the light of yester- ?
day'? events.
Lodge later announced that he will ?
spend today and tomorrow conferring
with Republicans, and will call tht
Li-partisan conference together on
'Monday.
He pointed to what he railed the
tropeles? weakness" of the position
taken by the Irreconcilable?. They
? oted against all reservations or
? atjtleation in any forni. Ladee re
tailed, and want to kill the treaty.
Ilo MitL" ?ini that when tiny go to
Senators urging them to holt if any
? hangt.' is made in the Lodge pro
pona!, they must be prepared to an
swer this question: Will yon, an ir
reconcilable, vote for the Lodge res
ervations If no change is made in
them?
Senator Sherman of Illinois has
seen this weakness. Lodge said, as
indicated in a ?talement to the effecl
that he Is now willing to vote for the
Lodge program, although he voted
With tho "bitter-enders" last session.
Lodge displayed no uneasiness ron
ccrnlnsj his leadership or a split In
the party.
The treaty situation la once ag"in
"up In the air," with prospects, for
compromise dimmed and old fac
tional differences revived in all their
intensity.
l>llef is general that agreement
"i compromise ratification is out of
the question at presen!.
?hrough I sudd? ? twist yesterday
the hopes of compromise apparently
xv ire daahed. Irreconcilable Republi
cans, who all along have demanded
utter rejection of the trente, called
Luige Into Senator Hiram Johnson's,
office and told him they represented
' ? very large number' of Senatore
who would vote for treaty rejection
rather than accept any Changs In the
Lodje reservations.
iiolj flab Over Lodge.
The club these Senators held ? .?
Lodge was repudiation of hu leader?
ship, and a split in the R< publican
party in the coming Presidential
primaries and the national conven
tion?
The conference lasted three hoar?.
Nothing definite was agreed on. Ber.?
.?iturs said But It ?is understood.
? lu y added, that before Lodge agrees
to ?ny compromise proposals, ho wi'i
tind out how many Republican? will
accept them.
"Are ?ou as hopeful as you won'?'
Lodge W..8 asked.
"We . hall see." was his reply
lie added that he had been "hetr
ing a protest from some gentlemen
who do not want any change In the
?i cscrvatlotiH. We. of course, have to
hear their tide of the question. They
repusent a large number of Sena
tors."
Senators who promoted Hie confer
ence said IhejT 1? lieve 1 they had "put
out the ftre' of compromise. They
? ailed Lodge in, in? \ said, because of
press reports ih.it he was about to
agree to some compromise

5,000 More Japanese Troops Are
Ordered to Siberia
Five thoueaud additional Japanese troops, compris
ing a portion of the Thirteenth Division, are ubout to
land at Yladivostock to re-enforce the Mikado's forces
in Siberia, according to a dispatch received today by
United States army authorities. There are at present
between 40,000 and 50,000 Japanese troops in Siberia.
In view of the fact that recent Tokyo dispatches Raid
the advisory diplomatic council had decided on with
draws] of the Mikado's army from Siberia, this later
news made Japan's Siberian policy somewhat puzzling
to United States officials. They believed the report that
the Japanese troops, were to be withdrawn probably was
not true.
One regiment of the newly arrived force is to be
stationed north of Yladivostock, while another is to ?jo
to Chita, it was learned here. These troops started for
Siberia about the time the United States note announc
ing that American troops would be withdrawn was re
ceived in Tokyo, it was stated. Previous to that they
had been held in barracks a month awaiting orders.
