The Importance of the British situat- ion with regard to this question, was concluded at the League of Nations headquarters, whero It was admitted frankly that it was Impossible to pre diet what would be the council' pro gramme \until Lloyd George rdecldes. The question of whether the Premier himself will represent Great Britain In the council's meeting was said to depend on developments In Persia. No secret Is made that friends of the league are believed to be relying on the reported assurances of Krasslne that the Bolnhevlkl would have cleared out from 1'trsla before the council meeting, thus relieving the council of the ntcssiary aetlon, which, to say the least. It ap- - ptoaches not without misgivings. Ths uncertainty of the whole situation Is complicated by the fact that news of. jjoisnevisi successes in jrcrsia, wciuumv the \rout of the British forces,\ comes from Moscow at the Identical moment that Krasslne Is assuring Downing Street that the Bed drive against the East has ceased.

The British are hurriedly retreating toward Bagad. They abandoned Resht without fighting, as the Indian troops wero opposed to fighting against the revolutionaries.

Whcthir there would be agreement In tho resolu- tions committee and a unanimous re- port on the plank dealing with the League of Nations or whether there would bo a split, a minority report and a debate on the floor of tho con- vention was utterly conjectural at midnight, when tho took a recess until morning. Out of tho maze of rumors Invol- ving tho situation the most apparent facta wero that tho opponents of a declaration In favor of ratifying the treaty of Versalllf s wero In control of the drafting But It was believed the full resolutions com- mittee was controlled by those' In fa- vor of a declaration for ratification with \Americanizing\ reservations. Senator Brandegce (Conn.), an Ir- reconcilable, flatly told a group of Old Guard leaders that If the ratification clauso fwere Included In tho plank he would leave tho convention and. would stump New England ngalnst the party. Understanding; pace In Sight FQrsom ,Jlme early y t was believed was In sight, making possible a unanimous re port on the League of Nations plank, it was prbposed to modify the Indiana Republican declaration and condense It Into a. condemnation of the treaty and Leaguo covenant ns submitted by Presi- dent Wilson, a rigorous Indorsement of the Senate's refusal to ratify the docu ment as originally submitted, a strong declaration that the Republican party would again maintain the traditional foreign policies of Washington and Mon roe and a somewhat vague and pious declaration of friendliness for an osso' elation of nations to promote the world's peace. There was to be-n- o pledge expressed or Implied to ratify the treaty of Ver. sallies with the Lodge or any other res ervations. In this form Senators Borah and Johnson would have been satisfied. They Insisted upon a declaration of loyalty to the policy of Washington, because It would requlro a policy of aloofness from European .entanglements. In this form the Irreconcllables considered the plank n. victory for their cause. Murray Crane of Massachusetts broke Into the situation as the primary and most Insistent objector to this plonk. He Insisted that there must be Included a clause pledging the party to ratinca tlon of the treaty with reservations. Like Situation In Senate. In this Crane was supported by the \mild reservatlonlst\ Senators, but op posed by Senator Lodge and most ot the middle ground Senators, an short the situation became almost a replica of that which prevailed In the Senate for months, with Mr. Crane appearing as .the leader of the mild reservation Ists, Senator Lodge seeking the basis on which all elements could unite, and the Irreconcllables Insisting they would not airroe to anv Dronosal Involving a nledz-- of ultimate ratification. When Senator Watson, chairman or the Resolutions Committee, named the to draft the platform It soon became apparent that tho ami rattflcatlonlsts controlled It but the mild reservatlonists and the Crane group Immediately busied .themselves In the ef- fort to line up the full Resolutions Com- mittee on their side. . Their fight was to have tho report of the drafting committee amended by In serting a pledge of ultimate ratification. The outcome of the contest was In doubt at the time of writing. Senator Borah declared that while his group would get the sort, of declaration It wanted from the drafting committee, It would almost certainly be beaten In the full committee, and In that event he woulfl take the fight to the floor of the convention. The drafting committee Issued a state ment at midnight that It had not even taken up the treaty question, up to that hour the fight had been kept going through a series of compromises and conversations between the Blackstone Hotel, wnere tne real leaders or me ratification forces had their headquar- ters, and the Auditorium Hotel, where the drafting committee was In session. It was known that Senator Lodge was using every ounce ot his influence with both sides to compose their differences. His Senatorial friends were generally hopeful that he would succeed. But the resolutions committee. Including as It does over fifty members. Is proving ex tremely difficult to handle. Some ot its members, especially from Middle West ern States,.

They are neither emotional nor aro they hard boiled. , I wouldn't call them conservative or radi cal. They are the finest average bunch of Just plain Americans I have ever seen at a National Convention. Look 'em over. Tney come from the cham- bers of commerce, from the farms, from small business, from the law office, from Journalism. There are no long haired men or short haired women among them.

(Thunw day) Great uncertainty early this morning as to tho pro- gramme of the convention for y. This is due to tho peculiar situation in the resolu- tions committee. The latest suggestion is that from Senator Watson, chairman of the committee, to National Chairman Hays, that the conven- tion proceed to-da- y with nomi- nating speeches, In order to save time, and await the report of the resolutions committee, which is most sure to precipitate a fierce and extended fight on the floor of the convention over the League of Nations plank.

The inevitable struggle between reservatlonists nnd bitter enders ns to who shall write the plank on treaty and league rises to such clamor' ns nlmost to overwhelm consideration of candi- dates. It rngc$ so savagely thnt the Republican National Convention Bu- ffers from an ncutd nttnek of nerves, On the one huriri stands Borah, Im- placably demnmllng that treaty nnd league be rejected and that the party declaration shall be the policy of Washington against entangling alli- ances and tho policy ot Monroe ngalnst Kuropcan interference. On the other stands Lodgo demand- ing ratification with tho Lodge or caulvaient safeguards for America. Several schemes of compromise have been evolved, but bo for ns Is known outside the Inner circles nono has been perfected thqt fully satisfies the opposing sides.

Senator Johnson said: \My future activities depend entirely upon the de cision that will be reached on the platform. If the Resolutions Commit- tee indorses this League of Nations I nm going to ask the convention anf! the people to reject that Indorsement, . Efforts of every kind nnd every character are being mnde to get Instructed delegates away from me and I mean cxaclly tthnt I say 4 efforts of every kind and every char- acter.

If we do not and platform Is drafted that Indorses the Wilson League, with or without reservations, you can count mo out.\ Following these defiances there was slightly better feeling and som prospect of compromise. After tolling all day the platform makers evolved a treaty nnd league plank which may bo acceptable to both Senate Borah and Senator Lodge. Would Condemn Wilson's Leagae. This plank condemns the treaty and the league covenant as submitted by President Wilson, unqualifiedly In dorses tho Senate's refusal to ratify and offers a general approval ot tha Idea ot an association of nations de signed to maintain world peace.
