wAsHINoroN, Dec. 10.-5enators and
Representatives in Congress have begun
to get active on the war and the situa-
ton growing out OF II. Several measures
were introduced to-day bearing on the
European conflict and its effect on the
United States.
In the Senate Mr.. Tillman introduced
the Administration bill authorizing a
Government factory for turning out
armor plate and other materials needed
by the navy. The plant Ii to have a
capacity of 10000 tons annually and to
cost s11.00o.000.
Senator Cummins proposed resolu-
tion for the appointment Of a committee
Of I'VE Senators to investigate and re-
port on the feasibility OF a Government
monopoly for the manufacture Of all war
material including ships Of war.
Senator Curtis OF Kansas submitted a
resolution declaring that the United
States was interested in maintaining
strict neutrality and imposing on officers
Of the Government the duty to see that
the neutrality was impartially enforced.
The resolution IL not otherwise specific
and, 1t is understood. is intended AZ the
basis Of speeches later criticising the
Presidents policy.
In a partisan debate on Senator Hoke
Smiths resolution directing the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations to investigate
ond report on the action Of Great Brit
ain In maintaining the cotton embargo
Senator Lodge criticised the many man
ifestations Of anxiety by Americans over
the wars effect on American trade and
their apparent failure to take note OF
the lives being sacrificed by the sub
marine attacks on unarmed merchantmen.
and the conspiracles to blow up and
destroy property In the United States
and incidentally to infiict loss of life.
Senator Smith made a sharp rejoinder.
In which he charged that persons who
tania incident every time the attacks
on American trade by Great Britain
were mentioned usually were the per-
sons who were deriving great dividends
from the sale OF munitions to the Allies
and were afraid to wound the feelings
of Great Britain.
Senator Walsh made a contribution Ia
the incident by having read into tho
record of the proceedings the form cf
contract imposed by foreign commits
sion on the copper producers OF the
United States. He made sharp criticism
on the American policy which permitted
our export trade to he subjected to such
restrictions by any foreign Power profes-
sing to be friendly.
The incidents of the day proved that II

war spirit out OF Congress II will he

brief debate In the Senate to-day in
dicated that partisan spirit IL rife and
that the Administration Is to be sub

policy.

PRESIDENT ASSAILED
ON FOREIGN POLICIES
Republicans Open Their Attack
In the senate.


WASHINGTON. Dec. lO.-Criticism of
the Presidents foreign policies by Re
publcans broke out in the Senate to-day.
A partisan struggle was expected. but
came earlier than anticipated.
Following a formal speech by Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia cr,ticising the
policy of Great Britain in dealing with
cotton cargoes Senator Lodge took the
floor and vigorously assailed the policy
OF getting excited about cotton or other
foreign trade matters while lives Of In
nocent non-combatants. including women
and children. were being sacrificed to
the submarine policy OF Germany.
THE body Of an innocent child floating
dead In the water IL to me more pOig-
an unsold bale of cotton" exclaimed
Senator Lodge at one point In his re-
ply to Senator Smiths speech.
Senator Smith was visibly stirred by
the Lodge attack and made copious notes
while the Senator from Massachusetts
was speaking. When Senator Lodge had
concluded Mr.. Smith made n peppery re-
joinder in which he said:
II have occas .onally thought that at
least some of these whole hearted pleas
referring to Mr.. Lodges appeal on ac-
count Of the loss Of lives In the LlsI-
tania and other vessels destroyed in the
submarine warfarel came from class
Of people who are Interested in muntion
plants and who are furnishing munitions
OF war, and who were perhaps Just a
little Influenced by the dollars that they
were themselves making"
Speeches Raise . COmmotiOn.
The two speeches raised quite a COM
motion, and Senator Walsh OF Montana
closed the colloquy by having read by
the clerk Of the Senate what purported to
be an agreement for sale Of copper TO
the Allies by American producers. Mr..
Walsh commented very bitterly at the
avarcious character OF the agreement
on the part of the Allies.
"I am satisfied that II the communi-
cation Just read is referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations II will feel
that II Is It's duty to inquire into the
condition which cOerced American shin
pers into subjection of that character
to a foreign Power and to inquire like
wise how far the exacting of such an
agreement as that Is consistent with
the relation that ought to obtain be-
tween this country and Power with
which It happily remains at peace"
Mr.. Walsh asked that the agreement
be read to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee along with the resolution pre
scented by Senator Smith and an amend
ment offered by Senator Lodge broaden
ing the scope OF the inquiry to take In
the submarine policy.
The Smith resolution, which was pub
lished when introduced In tho Senate
wednesday. proposes a sweeping inves-

To those IN Vienna, it is declared, the

the gloved hand of a diplomat.
with evidence ID show that the sub
marine which attacked the Ancona fired
with cold bloOded disregard on the
l,feboats in which the passengers were
trying to escape, the American Govern
ment appears determined to have an
understanding with Austria before there
Is opportunity for another Lusitanla
tragedy.
Thus far Austria has never shown
her hand In this respect. While II Is
believed that Vienna and Berlin had
heads together when the German Am
hassador was instructed to INFORM Secre-
tary Lansing that German submarines
would henceforth obey the rules of civ
iiized marine warfare. Austria herself
Kept silent.
Only recently have the Austrian sub
mersibles played any prominent part in
naval operations. The attack on the
Ancona which heralded their entry into
the Mediterranean, appears from what
the American Government has learned
to have been marked by complete dis
regard OF the principles in behalf OF
which the United States nearly broke
with Germany.
Although given three weeks in which
to answer pertinent inquiries Of the
United States as to the circumstances OF
the attack, Austria has failed to respond
and has merely asked for more time.
And In the meantime two American oil
pnkers are known to have been at
tackled under circumstances which have
left the fate of at least one of them
shrouded in mystery.
And while this situation has been de-
yeloping with respect to Austria negotia-
tions between the United States and
Germany over the Lusltania settlement
have Jagged and deadlocked. From the
American standpoint settlement OF this
controversy is all important in It's bear
ing on the question OF submarine war;

Going beyond the mere question Of
whether or not Germany should make
reparation for the ll5 American lives
snufyed out. the sine qua non Of the
United States Is that Germany by ex-
press words shall admit that she had
no right to make the attack,
GermSny's reply to this demand
through the informal neeotiat tions OF
Count Won Bernstorff has been that the
United States should be satisfied Uith
