Senator Hitchcock appealed from the decision of the chair, and Senator Lodge moved to lay the motion on the table. Mr. Lodge's motion was adopted with all of the Republicans Present and Senators Reed and Shields, Democrats, voting in the af- firmative. Senator Lodge said the Republicans opposed the move be- cause it applied only to the reserva- tions and not the entire treaty. Senator McCumber of North Dako- ta, prominent among the “mild reser- vationists” on the Republican side, announced that in a very short time a cloture rule covering the entire treaty would be presented. After disposal of the cloture peti- tion, the Senate on motion of Senator Lodge dispensed with other business and resumed consideration of the pending reservation to Article X. of the League of Nations, Senator Lenroot introduced a reser- vation designed as a substitute for the defeated amendment of Senator Johnson, regarding inequality of vot- tg power ih the League. It would permit empires and self-governing colonies to cast but one vote and have Ro voice in a dispute with the United States. The Senate voted down, 68 to 4, the proposal by Sénator* Walsh of Mon- tana to amplify the reservation to Article X. so that other nations would be under no obligation to aid the United States in preserving its ter torial integrity, * Those voting for the proposal were: Walsh, Montana, and Pittman, Nevada, Democrats, and La Follette, Wisconsin, and Norris, Nebraska, Republicans, A inotion by Senator Thomas to so amend ‘the reservation as to make Article X. binding for a pertod of five | years only, was rejected 46, to 32, the | Republicans presenting a solid line-up against it. The cloture rule was adopted March, 1917, after the Armed Neu- trality Bill had been killed in the closing hours of the previous session by a filibuster, which provoked Presl- | dent Wilson to refer in a speech to thé “little group of wilful men” blocking Senate action. The rule hag never been invoked. A petition was started once to enforce the cloture but before it reached a vote the op- position collapsed.

In his statement, Commis- | sioner O'Brien said: “The unionizing ‘of the department has had a most disastroys effect upon its morale. Of late some of the members have paid little attention to the orders of their superiors, while others have performed their duties jn @ careless and unsatisfactory man- ner, apparently being only interested in receiving their pay. “I certainly do not intend to coun- tenance any Bolsheviki methods in the Fire Department, and I feel that the people of this city will support me in taking this attitude. Insubordina- tion, carelessness and indifference in the Fire Department are evil things and it is my intention to eradicate them, even should it be necessary, to organize a practically new Fite De- partment to accomplish this task. “A demoralized Fire Department is a serious menace to any city, and I do not intend to let that condition exist here, even if I have to offend all the slackers. The shirkers will have to get out.

OWLS of medical students ‘ing banners with the in- scription, “We Want Beer Ghd Btout,", organized a demon- stration against Prohibition campaign meeting in the heart of London this afternoon, The crowds were so dense in the Strand that traffic was held up for some time, Essex Hall, where the meeting was held under a plan arranged ‘by American prohibition workers, was virtually surrounded by noisy demonstrators when the meeting was held. The students the Anti-Saloon finally captured League organizer, W. E. Johnson, commonly known as “Pussyfoot,” who was to have addressed the meeting. Johnson was lifted to the shoulders of stu- dents and carried along the Strand at the head of a long procession which cheered and sang. The po- lice were swept aside. c The meeting had been arranged under the auspices of the Over- seas Club and the Patriotic League. F, A. Mackenzie was the chairman, Mr, Johnson was announced as the principal speaker for prohibition, while the anti-prohibition debater was R. Mitchell Banks. The subject of the debate was: “The Why and How of American Prohibition.” PIMLICO RESULTS.
