New York, Oct, 20,

The Times’ Paris correspondent states that the Supreme Council voted to hold the first meeting of the Council of the League of Nations in Paris on the same day as the formal deposit of the ratification of the Peace Treaty is made. President Wilson had been requested to issue the call, which would go to England, Prance, United States, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Spain and Brazil. The American delegation is positive that the United States will not be represented on the council unless the Senate ratifies the Treaty before the meeting. It is understood an international syndicate of British, American, and probably French hankers, will extend a fifty million dollars loan to the All-Russian Government at Omsk, which will be required to deposit collateral security. Senator Lodge, in a statement, pointed out that in the event of the Democrats’ defeat of the Treaty ratification resolution, • embodying reservations, the Republicans would vote down the attempt to reconsider the resolution. Senator Lodge said 49 Republicans and six Democrats would vote in support of reservations.
