PENROSE-SULLIVAN QUIZ
LIKELY TO BE ORDERED
Senate Committee Votes to Recon.
slider Sidetracking Of Reed
Resolution.

The action by which the Norris reso-
luton providing for an investigation
of the senatorial primary and election,
in Pennsylvania and Illinois was side
tracked for the present session of Con.
gress in the committee on contingen,
expenses of the Senate was reconsid-
cred at a meeting of the committee to.
day.
Senator Reed of Missouri made the
motion to reconsider and was sup
ported by Senator Shafroth of Colo
RADIO. Senator Williams voted against
the motion. The republican members
OF the committee, Senators Bristow and
Dillingham;, are to be polled on the
question.
senator Bristow a week ago voted
tlon. 1t appears, therefore. that the
committee will tavorably report the
Norris resolution to the Senate.
Whether the investigation finally will
be oruered must still be determined by
the Senate itself. The resolution is
aimed particularly at Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania and Roger j. Sulli-
van Of Illinois, for whom it is charged
enormous sums of money We're expend-
ed during the campaign.
The effect of the original action of
the committee was to postpone any in
vestigation until the next Congress. on
the ground that it would not be in
order for the Congress now dying to
investigate elections to the next Con-
gress.

The issue is the right of the United

URGES FREE OPEN SEA

Advocates Embargo on Munitions of
War, Denouncing Kaiser's Foes
in Farewell Speech.

Representative Bartholdt of Missouri
in a farewell speech in the House to.
day. denounced what he called 'the
newspaper war against Germany" de-
clared that Americans of German de-
scent ARE with all other true Ameri-
cans for America first, last and al
ways" and advocated a law that would
authorize the President to enforce his
demands for free and open sea and
unrestricted commerce in non-contra-
band goods. He protested against
American shipment Of arms to the al
lies.
I'm our present demands against
England" he said. "our only alterna-
tive is either to give in or to declare
war. The threat of an embargo on
the Mistress of the Seas to terms
without war"
Germans Here Loyal 20 q. S.
Portraying the "steadfast devotion OF
citizens of German blood to American
ideals and the flag" and saying Ger
mans furnished a larger proportion to
the fighting strength of this country
than any other so-called foreign ele-
ment in four American wars, Mr.. Bar
tholdt declared:
IF unfortunately the United States
ever again should be embroiled in war.
which heaven forbid, the Germans OF
this country would again as loyalty
rally around the Stars and Stripes. The
Germans of this country are for
America against England, for America
against Germany, for America against
the world. They will never waiver
for one second in their allegiance to
their adopted land
Denounces Disloyal Tales.
Mr.. Bartholdt said that Americans
OF German descent have been openly
accused of divided allegiance and
downright disloyalty. and that although
they know that this wanton insult
emanated from English and French
press agents." and they treat it with
contempt, they resent that "in the
face of our own history, the American
press should have opened it's columns
to such calumnies."
THE war;" he said, was started
with a monstrous lie and to support 1t
a thousand other lies had to be told.
The Germans were denounced as raw
ishers and plunderers and worse. The
present struggle is also a warfare Of
falsehood against truth

sideration because he desired to go
