END OF FIGHT
TREATY IN SIGHT
Hope To Clear Away A11 Amendments?Lodge
is Certain That Senate
Will Adopt Treaty With
Reservations?Much Speculation
On Final Vote On

Washington, Oct. 19.?The long
treaty fight in the senate is about to
enter its final phase. Leaders hope
during the coming week to cleai
away all ^proposed amendments and
make substantial progress in the
* - * - ?u:e 4.;
learning ul ? x7ku1u(uuu iwuiuwuh.
Virtually conceding that no amendments
will be adopted, the opposition
managers are determined to qualify
tiie ratifying resolution with reservations,
and Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, declared in a statement
tonight that a decivise majority
would stand for reservations that
would be unequivocal and effective."
Privately the. opposition leaders declayed
Mr. Lodge's claim was backed
Mby an understanding amounting virtually
to a complete agreement
among all of the 4$ Republicans and
jy t\^ j.. j a ai m
Io xwmocrats to 3tana togetner ior a
reservation program evolved aftei
many weeks of conferences. It was
said not all of the details had been
agreed upon, though on general principles
and in some cases on phraseology
itself the 55,senators had been
brought very close together.
How far the remaining 41 senators
-will go in their opposition to reservations
is an uncertain question even in
the^ minds of some of their leaders.
They have stood unswervingly
throughouth the fight for President
Wilson's program of a ratification
that would not require the treaty's
resubmsision to the other powers.
But it is for the president himself to
decide finally whether any reservations
adopted do require such resubmission,
and his illness has left the
administration leaders somewhat in
the dark.
There have been intimations that

the administration be put into the
ratification resolution, the adminsitration
forces would vote "no" on the
ratification roll call, but their leaders
are not ready to say how they will
cross that bridge until they come to
it. It would take only 33 votes to
prevent ratification. '

TWO AMENDMENTS
QUICKLY KILLEI
- Washington, Oct. 18.?After
brief debate and without the formal
ity of a record vote, the senate to
day threw out two more of th
amendments written into the peac
treaty by the fbreign relations com
mittee. The
two amendments had been iii
troduced by Senator Fall, Republi
can, of New Mexico and had as thei
common p.urpose to curtail the powe
of the American representatives o
the retaliation commission.
The vote came sooner than ha
been expected, the leaders agreein
to it as part of.f plan to complet
the consideration of amendments a
soon as possible so that the senat
might get down to the real work o
drafting a ratification resolutior
Only two of the committee's 4
amendments now remain to be cor
sidered and it is hoped to bring ther
to a vote early next week. They bot
relate to equalization of votin
strength in the league of nation?.

The excellent idea for helping th
Hospital was given the Civic Club b
Mrs. Coleman, the Secretary of th
Red Cross Home Service Section.
The fact that the Hospital is
memorial to the Soldiers of Abb*

? Washington, Oct. 19.?r-Having obtained
relief from the prostrate con12
dition which retarded his recovery
a last week, President Wilson was vic_
tim today of slight digestive trouble.
e His condition otherwise throughout
the day, Rear Admiral Grayson, his *
personal physician, announced to- v
night, was unchanged. Dr. Grayson
issued the following bulletin from the
p White House tonight: s
"The president had a slight diges^
tive disturbance today. Otherwise his

The president's general condition
was regarded as satisfactory, notwithstanding
the slightattacjc of inj
digestion. Until midday Dr. Grayson
and the physicians assisting him
in the examination of their patient
announced that Mr. Wilson was
^ more than holding Us mi and the
e development after noon was not ree
garded as Serious or as any indicaGon " .
that the president's general condition
' was worse.
It was said, however, that any incidental
ailment tended- to increase
L ;nervousness and to that extent re
r tarded a recovery.
r Dr. Grayson, who has spent the
Q night at the White House ever 6ince
the president returned from, his '
d speaking tour three weeks ago today,
? was not ealled to the patient's bede
side at all last night. It was the
5 first time that some phase of the
e president's condition had not made^it
* necessary for him to attend the flresident

The encouragement manifested by
the president's physicians and others
of his household was understood to
