Dec. 22. Some of the more optimistic senators (' x ~ j pressed confidence that the ratifl- • i cation would conic before January j i 16. thus formally establishing peace, and permitting the President to lift, prohibition for a brief wet spell he- j fore the constitutional prohibition j amendment becomes effective on ( that date. There were other senators, how- i ever, who took less stock in the com - promise movement. It was pointed out that President Wilson might again intercede if reservations ac- 1 eepted by members of liis party in j the Senate did not meet his appro- j val. Await President For "the present, however, there ! was eveiy indication that senators | would go ahead with their compio- j mise negotiations without further light from the White House. Sena tor Hitchcock said he had no ap- . pointineiit with the President and' indicated that lie did not now in- i tend to seek one. There was wide discussion to-day j of the activities of Bernard M. j liuruch. of New York, a financial ad- | viscr to tlic Peace Conference at j Versailles, who lias seen several sen- , ators during the past week and is! said to have discussed the Treaty j \\ illl them. Senator Hitchcock said, j however, that ho did not regard Mr. ! Haruch as speaking for the Ptesi- j dent, with whom he recently had a ; conference.

They are understood to j have removed all possibility of Sen- j ate action oil the measure in the near] future by serving notice that they would not support it unless and until it became certain the Treaty could not he ratified with reservations. As a result of "Sunday's conference and of activity among the Democrats, 1 the whole sugject of reservations] seemed to have been opened wide with both sides professing a willing ness to enter whole-heartedly into an energetic give and take effort at compromise.
