The mlli rp;ernttiiii croup of Repub licans, notlfyiiis tlieir .nitv lender. Senator Lodge, that in their opinion th time hud roine tu wirt coiupany with the irreioneilabte foei of the treaty, declared that unlc&s eiimpromie negotiations got more whole hentled support from the Republican side they "were preparing to net independenlly for an agreement uith the Democrats. Among the Democrats the movement Was not so veil denned, but rrilicism of the course of President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock, nctlng DeinoTatle leader, reached proportions where some predicted that it Mrtu would be given tangible form. One prominent Demo cratic senator was said to liavc (old the Republicans that more limn tliiiH of tho forty-hevcu on that side would joiu a movemert to ratify the treaty at once on the beet terms they could get. Conference Is Fruitless The effect wiis n scrambled siluntiou In both party orgaulzatious, which the leaders seemed confident they could straighten out, but which the compro mise advocates predicted would greatly Strengthen the "movement for a bipar tisan conference of those determined to ratify the trcnty even atthe expense of material concessions on both sides. The feeling among tbo'-e who arc ready, to go aliped without their leader seemed to be that the trcuh deadlock already had been prolonged unneces sarily by too much "no-compromise" talk, and thnt both sides bad oer playcd a waiting game in the hope that a break would come in the opposition. After their conference Sunday with Mr. Lodge, the mild reservation Repub licans seemed .confident he would take the Initiative, if ueceefary, in earning the compromise negotiations forward. On Monday he saw Senator Underwood, a prominent Democratic advocate of n compromise, but it wns said today their talk got nowhere. Meantime, it became known that the irreconcilable groun of TtenuMii-nim had been bringing pressure to bear to induce the party Ipader not to con sent to tuy compromise proposals which did not meet their approval. Sen ator Johnson, one of the leaders of that group, telegraphed he would change bis plans and return to tin capital from his home slnte next week. Id the Democratic ranks the treaty situation is complicated by the contest between Senators Hitchcock and Un derwood for choice as parly leader, much of the talk for a bipartisan agree ment coming from the Underwood sup porters. Tho party caucus has been called for January 15 to elect n leader, and in tho meantime Republicans and Democrats apparently nre doubtful as to who can Hpeak with authority on the Democratic side. All Elements Confident i. Senator Hitchcock repeatedly has dc- 'clarwl his willingness to make any compromise which does not vitally harm the treaty, but has indicated he expects tne ntyet move lo come trom the Re publican side. Senator Lodge also has said ho would not oppose n compromise so Jong us the foreign relations' com mittee reservations nre not vitally im i paired, though ho considers that the next move is up to tho Democrats. It is with that situation the biparti san movement is calculated to deal, its backers saying neither side should stand upon formality, but should earnestly try to ratify at once. Tho strength of the movement could not be estimated yester day, but it was suggested that even if it could not muster the necessary two thirds to ratify at first, it might get a majority which could bring the treaty again before the Senate and center pub He interest upon it and upon such com promise reservations as might te agreed Upon. So the immediate compromise advo cates predicted success for their enter prise. Senator Hitchcock expressed con fidence bis own compromise plnn would Win; Senator Lodge asserted the com mittee reservations would be ucccpled without materia change, and the ir reconcilables said tbcic would be no compromise at all.

General Wood, it xvns stated, did not formally declnre that he was a candidate, but sent this message: "If nominated, I xvill accept."

The Supreme Coun cil today receUed information as lo the results of the first meeting between Ger man und allied military experts re garding arrangements for the execution of the treaty of Ycrsaillrs. The report on the negotiations with the Germans oer the troops transport ation question was laid before tho coun cil by General Weignnd. The report re vealed that the Germans bad declared that because of lack of material it was impossible to supply the six truins daily demanded by the Allies. They mndc an offer of four trains n day for the time required. Tills offer wns considered inadequate by the allied representatives. lterlln. Dec. 27. (Hy A. P.) The Entente's lnl note, demuuding the signing of the protocol lo the peace treaty, was discussed by the cabinet to dny. In official circles the note is regarded as further evidence thnt the Supreme Council is playing politics. In its in troductory sentence the note refers to the absence of American ratification and subsequently mentions the possi bility that tho 1'nited States may be definitely omitted from the list of rnt ify tup powers. The Berlin government belicxes reference lo these conditions superfluous, inasmuch us it has already indicated it docs not propose lo con strue America a failure lo participate ns entitling Germany lo concessions. The German reply is expected to suggest that n second protocol definite ly indicate the lonnngc indemnity de manded for the sinking of the German xnrships at Scapa Flow.
