Vote Down Doctrine Change Taking up the committee's Mon roe Doctrine reservation the Sen ate voted down 51 to 43 a substitute by Democvratic Leader Hitchcock to declare the doctrine in no way "im paired or affected" by the Treaty. Only two Democrats, Senator Reed, Missouri, and Shields, Tennessee, stood with the Republicans for the committee draft. The vote adopting the reservation of domestic questions was 59 to 3ti, all opponents being Democrats. The Republicans in favor of that reservation were joined by nine Democrats Chamberlain. Gore. King. Reed, Shields, Smith, of Georgia; Thomas. Trammel and Walsh, of Massachusetts. The reservation follows: "The United States reserves to itself exclusively the right to de cide what questions are within Its domestic jurisdiction and declares that all domestic and political ques tions relating wholly or in part to its internal affairs, including immi gration,' labor, coastwise traffic, the tariff, commerce, the suppression of traffic in women and children and in opium and other dangerous drugs, and all other domestic ques tions, and all questions affecting the present boundaries of the Unit ted States and its insular and other possessions are solely within the jurisdiction of the United States and are not. under this Treaty, to be submitted in any way either to ar bitration or to consideration of the council or the assembly of the League of Nations, or of any agency thereof, or to the decision or recommendation of any other power." Another substitute for the com mittee's Monroe Doctrine reserva tion, offered by Senator Pittman, proposing tbat the United States re serve for its disposal any question raised under the Monroe Doctrine, also was voted down, 52 to 42. The committee's Monroe Doctrine reservation was adopted by a vote, 55 to 53. Hltclicock Substitutes When the Senate met to-day to consider the Republican proposal to enforce the cloture rule to limit de bate on the Peace Treaty, Demo cratic Leader Hitchcock presented several substitutes for committee reservations, so as to have them within the rules, which provide that no amendments or substitutions be offered before the cloture be comes effective. His move was taken by some senators to forecast Demo cratic support of the cloture mo tion. His Reservations Among the measures Senator Hitchcock presented was a resolu tion for ratification without reserva tions. He put in also ratification resolu tion embodying "as part of the rati fication the five substitute reserva tions offered by him several days ago. Those reservations provide: That the United States would be the sole judge whether its obliga tions were fulfilled, if it withdrew from league membership. That no question which the United States considers doniesttc in charac ter could come before the league. That the Monroe Doctrine should not in any way be impaired or af fected. That the council's recommenda tions under Article Ten shall be con sidered as "merely advice." That no dominion or colony shall vote in any league dispute to which any sister dominion or colony is a party. Jam Develops A parliamentary jam developed when Vice-President Marshall un dertook to state his construction of the cloture rule. Senator La Fol lette, Republican, Wisconsin, made a point of order contending that the chair should put the motion. The objection was overruled, Sena tor La Follette appealed from the decision and Senator Ashurst, Dem ocrat, Arizona, moved to lay the proposal on the table. Senator La Follette's effort to cut oft the Vice-President's ruling was tabled 62 to 30 all of the latter be ing cast by Republicans while 18 Republicans joined the Democrats in sustaining the Vice-President. The Vice-President then ruled that when one resolution of ratification had been rejected it was possible, if a majority desired, to take up an other in the hope of a final com promise. The decision bore out the stand of administration senators who hope to bring action on a reso lution of their own after defeating that containing the committee reser vations. tome—First flnptlut t'hnreh 2d and Pine—Sunday, 10.30 a.m.—adv.

Two sections were reserved for the col leges, with one section of civilians between the student cheer crowds. This arrangement gave the specta tors an opportunity to enjoy the singing and cheers. Each college tried o outdo the other. The crowd was large, due to the new arrangement regarding the price of tickets. Everybody was given an opportunity to get a seat without the necessity of a check and wait ing for a half hour until an usher could be had. Side line spectators bought general admission tickets. Both Teems Hopeful The game was scheduled to start at 2.3u. Both teams were expecting victory. Gettysburg realised that they had to play the best they knew how, and were In good trim.

On the Gettysburg team were Houtz, Emanuel, Phillips, Martx (captain). Frock and Haehnlen, of Harrisburg. These boys were given a big welcome wiko they reached the field. In the Bucknell squad were Ebner who has been winning many laurels this season, Bihl, Mc- Cann and local boys, and Dayh off and Morrett. of Steelton. They too were given an ovation. Harrisburg football fans were evenly divided In their rootftig. Ap plause was liberal. Each team was on edge as they trotted on the field. Sensational plays were looked for, as both teams have been training for new tricks and football a little different than that seen here to date.
