Eight Republicans Protest to Lodge, Washington, Jan. 23.-Protest by a group of influential Republiban sen ators against further compromises on reservations to the peace treaty today gave the compromise negotiations a severe setback and, senators (leclared, involve future solidarity of the Re publican party not only in the senate but in the nation. Eight Republican senators, headed b~y Senators .Johnson of California and Hlorah of Idaho andl claiming to rep resent otheor senators, called Rephub lean Leader Lodge into conference andl dlivered what wyas dleclared to be an ultimatum against proposed comnpro mises of the informal bi-partisan com niittees of senate leaders. Some of the senators in the confer ence with Senator Lodge declared that the reception of the protests wvould at fect the Republican leadlershilp and unIty In the senate wvhile one, Sena tor Sherman, IllinoIs, stated after the conference that he would leave the Re publ icani party and join a 11h1rd party if the Republicans sup~port "emascu latedl" reservations. The conference wvith Senator Lodge. which lastedl nearly three hours, pre yented the schedluledl session of the bI partisan committee.

Ashurst chargedl both Republicans andl Demo crats with delaying ratIfication b~y playing partisan pl)Oitlcs "while the worldl waits for action," Sentiment is rising, the senator declared, for an in dependent presidential candidate, be cause of the senate delay.
