The present discussions are said to be tending towards ac complishment of that end through a reservation signed -by all the four Powers. To -Meet Oliposition Wbile this exchange is in progress, the opponents of the treaty in the senate are busy organizing to pre vent its ratification and are losing no opportunity to carry their fight to the country. Senator Borah (Republican) of Idaho delivered from the pulpit in Washington today an argument against unreserved ratification and his speech was disseminated from the capital by Wireless. More discussion of the sub ject in the senate itself Is exIpected when it reconvenes this week after the holiday recess. On the side of the naval limita 1 tion program, the most embarrassing problem yet to be settled is that in volved in the proposed regulation of submarine warfare. All of the pow ers have agreed to unite'9in a declara tion reaffirming the present well un 'derstood restrictions of international law and condemning the ruthless use made of German U-boats during the World War, but there has not been the same facility of agreement on the proposal to go further and prohibit entirely submarine attacks on ner "hant vessels.
