GERMAN TO Hitchcock and Others Agree I That Ratification Will lie Impossible. 310HE JOIN OPPOSITION Ilornli Offers Substitute fov Lodge Reservation Seeking- - to licmovc Obligation. Iter at 11 Till! Sex and Nzw Tonic Huuld. Washington, March 13. The Senate reached an unanimous consent agree- ment y to vote on the reserva- tion to Article X. nf the League of Nations Covenant and all amendments -d substitutes on the calendar day of Monday. Each Senntor Is limited to yi (i singlo speech of fifteen minutes on the reservation and fvo minutes on each amendment to It. This agreement was the single re-tu- .t of 's proceedings In the way of progress. The time was otherwise cccupled by discussion on tho floor and eoakroom conferences looking to a compromise that would make It possl-lu- o to substitute something new for tiie original Lodge reservation to Article X. To this end Senator Borah (Idaho) offered an amendment to the Lodore substitute which proved agreeable to the mild reservatlonlsta and was ac- cepted by Senator Lodge (Mass.), leader, and probably will do s instituted for the original Lodge reservation. The Borah amendment !s Imply the Interpolation of a few words, which are intended to Ftrengthen the assurance that the Vnited States assumes no responsi- bility to preserve the territorial lntes-r.t- y or political Independence of other rations. I'roposed Wording: of Reservation. As thus modified the reservation !fads as follows, with the Borah in- terpolation In parentheses: Tho United States assumes no obligation to preservo the terrl- - torial Integrity or political inde- pendence of any other country by me employment of its military or naval forces, Its resources, or any form of economic discrimination, ' or to Interfere In any way in con- troversies between nations (ln-- 1 eluding all controversies relating ' to territorial integrity or political t independence) whether members ; of the league or not, under tho ; provisions of Article X., or to . empioy the military or siaval forces of the United States, under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless In any particular ' rase the Congress, which, under j the Constitution, has the sole power to declare war or authorize J 'he employment of the military o'. r.aval forces of the United States.

It was drafted after con futation among the \irreconcllables-an- proved satisfactory to the mild foup, though It was not pleasing to kwip Democrats who had been willing to take the first Lodge substitute . Judgment of most leaders in all fac- - tlinj was that the revised substitute ould be adopted as a part of the reser- vation programme, but that the resolut- ion of ratification will still fall of the r.cs nary two-thir- vote. This was the ,xrd!ct of Senator Hitchcock (NeE). the acting democratic leader. It Is'under-:oo- d to be the oDlnlon of Senator Lodge. It was maintained by the \Irrecon-t-Iables- ,\ Irreconcilable!

At the meeting marking the opening of the campaign tho presiding officer was the Sheik ul Islam, representative of the Sultan and actual head of the \Moslem Church.

HAS 20 They Will at Once Replace Equipment of Defunct Mid- land Company. HEADY TO SEIZE TRACKS Burr Will Attend to That and Motive Power Already Is Arranged. Mayor Hylan'o long cherished mu- nicipal ownership ambitions havo evolved Into tho determination to as- semble enough traction equipment to replace altogether the now defunct lines of the Midland Railway Com- pany in Staten Island. The revela- tion of the Mayor's purposo came yes- terday from Grover A. Whalen, Com- missioner of Plant and Structures. Though the Board of Estlmato has yet to approve or appropriate money for tho city's Initial venture In this field, the Mayor already has nego- tiated with the Emergency Fliet Cor- poration and hns actually arranged to deliver on Staten Island in a few days twenty trolley cars costing $115,000. Mr. Whalen announced. The can are now In Philadelphia. And ho has gone further. Mr. Whalen said, by directing Corporation Counsel Burr to be prepared for whatever legal contingencies arise in case the company refuses a request to be made at once to surrender Its lines to the city. If the company refuses the city will prcceed to declare its franchln.) forfeited and will order its tracks torn up to make way for the city's own tracks, \with which It is plentifully supplied,\ Mr. Whalen said. \Aa to the question of power to op- erate tho cars,\ the Commissioner ex- plained, \ I do not think we will have much difficulty. The only power plant In Richmond Is owned by the Richmond Light and Power Company. We shall make application for power to thin con- cern and I do not anticipate a refusal. The operation of cars Is a public neces- sity, and it is logical to suppose that a public utility corporation would not turn down a request of this kind.'' By acquiring from tho Drr.srger.cy Fleet Corporation the twenty trolley cars, ten of them new ones, the city would havo a car equipment equal to the number operated by the Midland Company up to the time It was manoeuvred Into financial Impotency and forced to abandon all service. And Mr. Whalen added to his elucidation of plans the fact that the fare would \of course be five cents.\ A new bus llr.c. with six machines, v.as started yesterday from the St. George Ferry to the baBO hospital at Fox Hills, where there are 2,000 con- valescent overseas veterans. Tho only transportation over this routo now Is furnished by buses of the Rlohmond County Utility Company, which charges &1 cents for the round trip. Officials of that company said last night they would withdraw entirely from compe- tition with municipal buses and pre- dicted that the city would lose heavily by trying to get along on a 5 cent fare. COLD SNAP FOLLOWS LAST NIGHT'S STORM Sleet and Snow With 68 Mile Gale Ended Quickly. The storm that began early last night with sleet and snow and a Blxty-elg- mile gale from the northwest as some of Its unpleasant features ended before midnight, and the Weather Bureau fore- cast that y would be fair and colder seemed about to be realized early this morning. A rapid drop In the tempea-tur- e began even before the snow stopped. . n.vui - - \-- ters were scheduled to register 20 degrees by dawn. It was reported that the storm origi- nated southeast of Pennsylvania. It moved acrors the city rapidly and when last heard from It wa3 northwest of Long Island. Suburbanites and residents of river bank cities throughout New Jersey, alarmed by the rapid rise of rivers during the rainstorm that preceded the snow, were reassured ty tho niwa of a cold snap.

That tho situation In Germany will require allied inter vention and that porhaps officials of the Friedrlch Ebert Government will appeal soon for the Allies to inter vene, was tho view expressed to the correspondent of The Sun nd New York Herald this evening at tho Ger- man Peace Conference headquarters. William von Mayer-Kaufbere- n, Ger man Charge d'Affalres, has offices there. German official;' there confirmed re ports that the revolution was entirely monarchist in principle, with a strong tinge of disgruntled militarism. Ger man officials hero sparo no words of reproach of tho revolutionaries, assert- ing that the coup d'etat throws Ger- many back to the position she was in Immediately after the signing of the treaty, and thus undoing all the work of conciliation and perhaps nullifying the innumerable offers of allied aid to put Germany on her feet.

When asked what they thought of the probability of the Kaiser returning to Berlin and the throne they replied : \Well he Is not far from Germany.\ They added that It was certain, how- ever, that the monarchists would not expose their hand to such an extent and 'thus endanger tho wholo plot by sum- moning any of tho Hohenzollcrns until the Perlln situation was stabilized and Gustav Noske, Minister of Defence in the Kbert administration, placed hors de combat.

Scarcely more than 10 per cent, of the people knew this morning that there had been n coup d'etnt and that the e of Friedrlch Ebert had been banished. Indeed, until noon the sub- urbs of Berlin were steeped In peace- ful sunshine, with tho uninterrupted routine of passengers aboard street ca'rs and In the underground unaware of the drama which had been played in Wllhelmstrusse shortly before breakfast time. Only when the Germans reached Wllhelmstrasse and the Untor den Linden did they find themselves in tho grip of the Baltic troops. There were horses in Ions lines and troopers at rest before the Government build- ings; boyish, unkempt soldiers, sleep- ing on their knapsacks, and wagons laden with provisions and fodder all tn camp array.
