Washington, August 16.—Negotiations between Democratic and Republican Senators, looking to ratification of the peace treaty with reservations, reached a more definite stage today, while President Wilson and the foreign relations committee were getting together on unprecedented measures to give the public all the details of their discussions of the treaty next Tuesday at the White House. Democratic leaders, feeling out sentiment on the Republican side, were told that the treaty could never be ratified without qualification, but that more than twenty Republicans desired to see it accepted in the near future with reservations along the line of those agreed on by sven Senators of that party some days ago. This information came from members of the group of seven after completion of a poll begun Wednesday on receipt of the first Democratic overtures. The twenty needed by the Democrats to make the necessary ratification majority of sixty-four had not accepted the proposed reservation program in exact form, it was asserted, but had given their assent to its general provisions. Wilson Holding Out. Afterward Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader, went to the White House and is understood to have laid the whole Senate situation before the President. He made no formal announcement after the conference, but indicated that the administration stand for unreserved ratification remained unchanged. Some of the seven reservation Republicans, however, insist that they have had information assuring Democratic assent to their

program.

A new draft of reservations was shown to several Republicans during the day by Senator Lodge, the Republican leader. It is understood to cover the four points embraced in the program agreed on by the seven Senators and to include also a provision that appointment of the American representative on the league council must have Senate approval. The other four provisions relate to the Monroe Doctrine, withdrawal from membership, jurisdiction over purely domsctic questions and the right of Congress to declare war under Article 10 of the league covenant.
