CLOTURE RULE
- SPEEDS TREA TY
CONSIDERA TION
Final Action Soon Will
Follow Shutting Off
Debate in U. S. Senate
TALK SO FAST THEY STUTTER;
RESERVATIONS PASS AND FAIL
By Associated Press
Washington. Nov. 15.—Republicans and Democrats joined
to-day to shut ot debate on the Peace Treaty and put into effect,
ior the first time in the history of the American Congress, a
cloture rule, which will limit each senator to one hour hereafter,
and probably bring action early next week.
The cloture stands, under a ruling by Vice-President Mar
shall, which the Senate accepted, as remaining effective until the
Treaty has been disposed of either by ratification, by being sent
back to the Foreign Relations Committee, or until the President
notifies the Senate that he will not consent to the reservations
attached to it.
The Yiee-Ifresident further helil;
that the rejection of one resolution
of ratification would not, under the
cloture, prevent another being
brought up in the hope of a com
promise if the Senate majority de
sired it.
Actual operation of the clotuie rule
si ruck the Senate as a great novelty.
Under instructions from the Vice-
President and Secretary Sanderson
the executive clerk, was assigned to
"keep tab" 011 senators' talking
time.
The Vice-President ruled on an
inquiry by Senator Walsh, Demo
crat, Montana, that no amendment
to reservations not presented anil 1
read before adoption of the cloture
rule could be received without
unanimous consent. Senator Bran
• legee. Republican, Connecticut, then
howled out several amendments by
objecting.
Increased speed in discussing!
amendments was distinctly notice- ■
able, some senators speaking so fast'
that at times they stuttered.
Republican and Democratic lead
ers voted together for the cloture,
which means that until the Treaty
is disposed of no senator may speak
in all more than one hour. It was 1
estimated that the step would bring
filial action within a week.
The vote adopting the cloture was
T8 to 16.
The rollcall follows.
Against adoption: Republicans—
Borah. Brnndegee. France. Gronna.
Johnson (California); Knox. I-aFol

Adopt Mandates
The action, involving cloture forj
the first time in the Senate's history:
resulted in an immediate speeding!
up of the reservation program, the j
next reservation on the committee j
list being adopted within one minute j
without debate or rollcail.
It related t mandates:
"No mandates shall be accepted 1
by the United States under Article,
22, Part 1. or any other provision j
of the Treaty of Peace with Ger-!
many, except by action of the Con- j
Kress of the United States."
Reject Domestic Substitutes
In taking up" the committee re-,
ervation relative to retention by this j
government of control over domestic !
questions, the Senate by a vote of!
.">2 to 4 3 rejected a substitute pro- 1
posed by Senator Hitchcock.
The committee reservation relat-j
ing to domestic questions then was!
adopted.
Adopt lfate Amendment

tee reservation, so as to make it in

I tan totpedoboat accompanied by u

D'Annunzto was said to have been
j followed by an Italian warship.

Advices From U. S. Consul

j delegation were from Vice Consul |
I O'Hara at Triest. He forwarded the!
| report there that D'Annunzio had
left Fiume on the Vallo and had
effected a landing on the Dalmatian
coast line.
Especial importance is attached
in Peace Conference circles to
D'Annunzio's movements, because of
the fact that Sunday ts election day
in Italy, with Fiume the chief is
sue. It is generally thought that
D'Annunzio is seeking to carry out
a spectacular operation to strengthen j
i the Fiume party which is reported
j in Paris to have lost considerable
i ground in Italy during the last three !
| weeks. The Italian navy was said ]
i to be wavering perceptibly in Its !
j support of D'Annunzio.
