Was L ward in the Senate by Senator Lodge as a Step To- pobal as “a Set of Weasel Words”—Party Leaders Be- lieve it Will Tend to Defer Final Vote. ,- March 12.—A substi- ‘ute for Lodge reservation o Ar- ticle Ten, which has stood unaltered for many weeks as the storm ocenter of the. peace treaty COMtroversy, was proposed in the semate today by its wulfor, Senator Lodge of Massachu- seits, the republican leader. The move, described by the re- publiean managers as a step toward harmony and compromvise, at first ied the senate in exactly the opposite diregtion by starting a discussion whether the new draft was weaker in its terms than the old. The mild reséryationists, backed by most of the republican membership, said it was not. The republican ables said it was, and served no- e they would not heip adopt it as they dig the original. The _demo- crate. keeping silent, stidied the pro- posal with apparent suspicion and withhield any decision as to what they would do. As a result, the possibilities of a final Agreement as beclouded as ever and party leaders revised their pre- dictions of an early vote on Article Teu. It has been hoped to reach 2 oll call today, but tonight no one was predicting action before Monday: r Tuesd: Characterizing _the proposed changes as “the terms of a republi- -n_capitulation” to the White House, Senator McCormick of Ilinois led in the attack of the republican irreco cilables “A set of weasel word: was the way Semator Brandegee, re- publican, Connecticut, described the compromise proposal, while Senator Knox, republican, Pennsylvania, as- rted that it wouid leave upon the nited tes the moral obligation for which President Wiison has con- tended.

Sendlor Lodge's presentation of the hbtitute aparently took the jrre- foneliables by surprise and aside from their dclarations on the floor thefe were many private expressions of ‘their dissatisfaction. They had sonstantly and successfully exerted sressure during the bi-partisan ne- gotiations and during the Watson. Simmons negotiations to prevent any dification of the original Lodge reservation, a til today they ap- 7 Deiiened they had convinced should net new substityte. T e As it finally stood. the substitute represented . the resuit of long con. wideration by the republican leaders, i which Senator Lodge and 3enstor Watson are unders:.od 2 have had the advice of Elthu Root, former sec- retary of state.
