G. 0. P. LEADERS CLAM PROGRESS ON ARTICLE TEN Republicans Claim Modified Reservation Will Meet Democratic Approval.

ly Af iO( i;.t-l Press: WAtfiriNtJTON, Fer-. 11 vtep-' to eliminate any collat ral issues of the j,cace treaty fiht were taken today on the floor of the s.-nate while negotiations were being resumed privately for a compromise on the two principal points remaining in controversy, article ten and the Monroe doctrine. Modification of right of tho fourteen republican reservations on tne l-asl of agreemen tby the M-pai tis ;n conference and a way said to be satisfactory to many democrats was proposed formally by Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader. Four of the remaining tdx art paid to have been already accepted without change by the democratic leaders, leaving these which relate to article ten and the Monroe doctrine as the only subjects of serious disagreement. New Itoscrvallons Progress was also claimed in the article ten negotiations, a new draft of the reservation boln? declared by the mild reservation republicans to have received approval from Sen. Lodge and from some democratic friends of the treaty. The draft was denounced by Fen. Hitchcock of Nebraska, the democratic leader, however, as constituting "not a compromise but a surrender," and much doubt remained as to its ultimate acceptance. The new reservation, said to have been drafted by a democrat, would deny this nation's obligation to preserve the integrity of other league members "by the use of its military or naval forces, or by the economic boycott or by any other means," unless congress acted in each specific case. Under the original republican draft the denial of the article's obligation is made directly and without the use of the explanatory language quoted. Few Cl Langes Accepted Sn. Rodge's move in proposing modifications was in accordance with a plan agreed on by republican leaders several days ago. Not all of the changes embodied in his proposal had been accepted by the democrats in the bi-partisan conference, it w .rt said, and some democratic opposition was forecast to parts ot the revised program. The general Impression in most quarters, however, was that these differences could bo disposed of without extended debate. The disagreement over the Monroe doctrine also was thrown Into the background, the leaders apparently believing that it might be adJusted quickly If a compromise were reached on article ten. There was no debate on the treaty during the day's session. Sen. Rodgo presenting his proposed modifications without comment except that he desired to have them printed for consideration when the treaty formally comes before tho senate again next week. He made no statement regarding the new article ten reservation but the mild resevat!onists declared they were hopeful that later he would present it also. scours AVAPswoivni nujj.

Edwards said, "that the remote places and the wilderness are able to send enough delegates to this convention. who either blindly or stubbornly will eject from the convention those who desire for each state a doctrine of personal liberty, then this H only another indication of the path along which the democratic party is to tread in the November elections." The governor said that the question at issue was whether the people were so dead to the spirit of the constitution that they would allow their personal liberty to be taken from then. Many were indignant he said "because fanatics have laid hands upon the ark of the cocnant, the United States constitution. "The spirit which gave us life as a country is sinking into extinction." he said. CHICAGO TEACHERS TO GET SALARY INCREASE Rv Af-sorintr-d Press: "CHICAGO. Feb. 11.
