COMPROMISE IS IN SIGHT

"i Washington, Nov. 18. The senate
Of the United States is going to rat
ify the peace treaty and the reserva
tions that, are attached are going to
be accepted not only by President
Wilson, but by the foreign govern
ments associated with us in the war.
That doesn't mean that the Lodge
resolution now pending before the
senate with its series of reservations
Is going to be adopted, or that Sen
ator Hitchcock's resolution to ratify
With a few reservations that, do not
meet the flaws that have been point
ed out In the treatyduring the sen
ate debate Is to be nnally approved,
but that a new ratifying resolution,
a compromise, will be adopted.
TWO THIRDS 8KB DaNGEtt
The foregoing prediction is based part
ly on a knowledge of what the parlia
mentary tactics of both sides contem
plate and partly on a viewpoint that
there are at least 65 senators, Kepub
Hearts and Democrats more than the
necessary two thirds who honestly do
not wish to see the treaty of peace
killed and new negotiations opened with
Germany.
All sorjs of fears and apprehensions
have been running up and down the
backs of supporters of the treaty and
the League of Nations that unless the
pending Lodge resolutions were given
a two thirds vote, the pact Itself would
be dead as a door nail and that the
responsibility for killing It would be on
the 13 Democrats who failed to vote
for Lodge's reservations to the treaty.
FOREIGN OPINION NEEDED
, Both sides are doing a considerable
amount of Jockeying for position. The
Republicans may be divided into two
Classes those who avowedly want the
treaty killed and those who say they
want it ratified, but insist that their
ratifying resolutions do not mean des
truction of the pact TJie Democrats dif
fer with the latter class, but what is the
opinion of one senator as against an
other as to what constitutes the death
of any piece of legislation when parlia
mentary maneuvers galore are in exist
ence to enable the senate to ressurect
anything that is killed 7
Onry the statement of foreign gor-
ernments that they would not accept
the Lodge reservations would convince
number of the Republicans that to
insist on these reservations means the
complete defeat of the treaty of Ver
sailles. Possibly the president himself
might make a statement declaring that
the Lodge resolution if adopted by the
senate constitutes a rejection of the
treaty. That would carry conviction
with many senators of the mild reser
vation 1st type but it would not be as
effective as a statement from the for
eign governments.
ITALY DISAPPROVES CHANGES
Great Britain and France and Italy
have demonstrated through their in
spired press that they disapprove of the
Lodge reservations and cannot accept
them. It is doubtful, however, whether
the president will subject them to the
embarrassment of rejecting the Lodge
reservations for the simple reason that J
the president himself can exercise his
constitutional discretion to say whether
a treaty has in fact been ratified, re
jected or amended.
The situation may seem a bit tangled
and confused to the outsiders, but it is
the essence of simplicity in the light of
senatorial custom and habit as one ob
serves it over a period of years. Sen
ators say extreme things, picture all
sorts of dire consequences if their point
of view is not accepted and then turn
around and agree to "a comproime,"
which is in some cases nothing more
than the viewpoint of their opponents
with a different phraseology.
CHANGES HELD HELPFUL
But the compromise on the peace
treaty will not be of that character,
as the debate has disclosed some un
answerable arguments and the Demo
crats have shown an inclination to vote
for such reservations as clearly safe
guard the United States in certain par
ticulars which the persons who drew
the original treaty must have over
looked. If there had existed a spirit
of conciliation in the senate, these points
would have been ironed out long ago
and foreign governments, too, would
have been grateful for the acts of re
vision contributed by the senate.
But thus far there has been only
sparring and fighting in the senate. And
one only has to examine the congres
sional rceord of last Saturday alone to
see that the two sides were not voting
on the merits of the numerous reserva
tions which they disposed of so rapidly
but were simply voting as parties. Now
and then a Democrat or Republican
would go from one side to the other but
the bulk of each party stood pat and
didn't give an inch.
PARTIES ARE STILL BLIND
Again and again the Democrats, who
were on the defensive, offered reserva
tions covering exactly the points made by
the Republican opponents, but they were
the way the Democratic majority used to
vote down amendments to legislation of
fered by Republicans. Such is party gov
ernment in domestic affairs and the two
political parties in the senate haven't
drawn any line at the seacoasts either,
but have extended their practices now in
to the consideration of foreign affairs.
The way things will work out, there
fore, to the immediate future, 1s this:
The Lodge resolution contains a num
ber of reservations that are virtually
amendments. They change the text of
the treaty and would require also that
foreign governments accept them. One
reservation alone tarnishes an example
of why Great Britain and Franc and
Italy cannot accept the Lodge resolu
tion wf ratification.
AMERICA HAS NO SAT
It is the Shantung' provision, which is
something outside " the League of Na
tions entirely. The Lodge .resolution
would formally withhold. America's con
sent from the Shantung settlement. That
in itself might not be objectionable to
Europe, but Great Britain and France
-and Italy are asked to approve that
withdrawal of America from' a section
of the treaty, and to give such approval
is to offend Japan, with whom Great
Britain and France have treaties cover
ing that specific point.
Unless England would want to en
danger her relations v.'lth Japan, espe
cially at a moment when the Anglo-
Japanese agreement is about to be re
newed, and would care to disapprove
the Shantung settlement merely to sat
isfy the American senate a course that
her friends here say is unthinkable
the senate might as well give up the
idea that England and France would
accept the Lodge resolution of ratifica
tion at all. And rejection by one for
eign government knocks out the whole
series of reservations, for in the pre
amble offered by Senator Lodge ana
now a part of the ratifying resolution
itself, foreign governments must agree
in advance to accept all the reserva
tions.
WILSON MAT DECIDE
Two courses might follow. Foreign
governments could disapprove and the
senate be obliged to go through the
whole process of- drafting other reser
vations, or time could be saved by un
derstanding in advance mat ioreign gov
ernments contemplate such action. The
president himself, being conversant with
the viewpoint of the allies, could make
a statement, saying he would not sub
mit the reservation to foreign govern
ments because the Lodge reservations
change the text of the treaty and he
would rather negotiate a new treaty.
-Such an expression might be approved
in the foreign press, or the president
without involving foreign governments
could take it upon himself to state cate
gorically that the senate by its reser
vation has not ratified the treaty at all
and thus keep the matter before the
senate.
But there appears to be enough Dem
ocrats to defeat the Lodge resolution
of ratification. A.
LODGE MAKES THREAT
Lodge said in the senate Saturday
that such action "would end considera
tion of the treaty. Vice President Mar
shall announced that he Intended to rule
that after the Lodge resolution is dis
posed of. other resolutions of ratifica
tion may come before the senate. An
appeal from his ruling could be taken
and a majority vote at once is needed
to overrule him, but Senator Oscar
Underwood of Alabama, who is a keen
observer and an expert on legislative
tangles, told a group of correspondents
at the White House that he did not
believe the vice president would be over
ruled. Underwood laughingly remarked that
he would bet money that there were at
least nine Republicans who would join
the 40 Democrats to sustain the vice
president and keep the treaty before
the senate so that some compromise
might be worked out in the Interest of
ultimate ratification..
RATIFICATION AT LAST
But even if the vice president were
overruled, there Is nothing under the
senate rules to prevent the Democrats
from moving to reconsider their own ac
tion on the treaty and thus bring-. the.
question into debate again with the op
portunity of offering compromise reser
vations. The country may wonder who
is responsible for the delay, and it
might make up its mind as to why the
two political parties have not been able
to come to an agreement on such a
vital question aa a peace treaty that
affects the whole world, but just now
each party is blaming the other, serene
ly confident that party prestige and
pride of opinion are paramount.
This sort of business will last through
out the voting process until the Lodge
resolution and the Hitchcock resolution
have both been defeated and the senate
is left squarely with the Job of working
out a compromise resolution. And then,
as has happened so often before in the
closing hours of the session, a compro
mise will be reached and the treaty
ratified.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR
Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair, while the most popular count their
curls as their chief beauty? In fact.
many are leading ladies just because of
their attractive looks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they bring
out all. the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampooing, not with any
soap or makeshift, but with a simple
mixture by putting a teaspoonful of can-
throx (which they get from the druggist)
in a cup -of hot water and applying this
instead of soap. This full cup of sham
poo liquid is enough so it is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. After its use the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The hair
is so fluffy that it looks much heavier
than it Is, its luster and softness are de
lightful. Adv. I
