Show WHEN THEY MEET TUESDAY. When Lodge and the other members of the senate foreign relations committee meet with the president on next Tuesday, to go over the treaty of peace, the Massachusetts senator will have a rare opportunity oppor-tunity of measuring his intellect with that of the chief magistrate. Lodge prides himself on his scholarship. Like Wilson, he is a historian. his-torian. The majority of the committee has made known its intention to place great emphasis on Shantung.
