White House Gives Out Peace Statement (Continued From Fag Oh.) be pressed anew this week, is sure to receive Senator Hitchcock's most determined opposition. "It is utterly out of the question, absolutely impossible,' said Senator Hitchcock, addhig that the basis of compromise must be the Lodge res ervations and the five he orooosed as substitutes. v Questioned -reizardine the future course towards a compromise, Sena tor nitcncocK saia: "The Loree reservations are in the senate; ours are there also. We are willing to discuss a compromise at any time. Leaders of both major factions of the senate are hopeful that from the London conferences of the British and French premiers may come re sponsible action towards acceptance of senate reservations which might lead to the treoty's ratification. There appeared lessened hone to night, however, that a solution might be reached with the Knox resolution as a basis. The agreement of Sena tor Underwood, democrat, Alabama. to support the Knox resolution to es tablish peace and defer action on the league, had given rise to hope in several quarters that it might form the basis for final action, possibly this week. The view was expressed tonight, however, that opposition to Senator Borah and probably others pf the "irreconciables" to a compro mised ratification, taken together with the president's "no compro mise" the statement had reduced ma terially any prospect for such ratifi cation. May Effect Hitchcock. Effect of the president's statement on the democratic leadership con test between1 Senators Hitchcodc and Underwood also was a subject of much senatorial speculation tonight. Some took the view that the White House statement was detrimental to Mr. Underwood in its being follow ing his announcement of the support for partial ratification, while others said if might be considered inimical to Mr. Hitchcock, who has been ad vocating a compromise since the vote last month.

It was 10 degrees below zero and the trip took two days. I was riding on J. D 's Pullman, as you might say. But the distressing part of it is, that when I returned to Omaha Sunday rnjorning I found all sorts of letters oi congratulations, and received many telephone calls from friends who wished me much happiness. I could not understand it until a Bee reporter showed me the marriage li censes published last Wednesday. I did not know I had so many friends.
