Republicans Put Up To Democratic Members
Washington Jan 25 limits to which Republican senate leaders will modify the Lodge reservations to the peace treaty will be transmitted to Democratic members of the bipartisan compromise committee tomorrow. Democrats would be told changes in Article X and in voting power in the League of Nations must be in language not in principle. Republicans view this as majority sentiment and it aligns with Senators Johnson Borah and the group who met with Lodge and New to gauge negotiation progress.

In Kharkov South Russia reports say many Caucasus villages are now governed by women. Women take over carpentry, blacksmithing and other male trades as men fight. Since 1914 czar mobilization and Bolshevik reshuffles emptied male labor. Denikine's victory and later tribal mobilizations left able men in Cossack units. Red Cross relief sees women running government locally while home made goods replace imports.
