of the senate. Senator Fall, a re- publican said:
 By your action today you have sent to the kaiser, if you have done anything, notice that the senate of the United States will look upon his sinking of armed merchant ships and the death of an American citi- zen, probably with some degree of regret, but that no action would be taken against him..
 Senator Borah republican, arraign- ed the senate for what he charact- erized as it's evasive action He said he would rather have battle ships sunk than to have the honor of this senate compromised before the world"
 On the other hand, Senator Kern, the majority leader, upheld the ac- tion, asserting that it would pro- claim to all nations that the presi- dent, in exercising his constitutional powers in the conduct of negotia tions spoke mot for himself, not for his party, but for all the peo- pie of his country who are pre- pared to back him with their lives in an insistence of American rights"
 Emphatically asserting that there could be no confusing of the senate action because of technical prelim- mary entanglements, Senator Lodge, ranking republican member of the Foreign Relations committee, said the senate had gone on recond as opposing a warning to Americans and against interference with the executive"
 The action which effectually dis posed of the Gore resolution was a complex one Senator Stone moved to bring the resolution before the senate and Senator Gore then ob- tained permission to change his res olution. Retaining the original pre- amble, he substituted the resolution with the following:
 Resolved, That the sinking by a
 submarine without notice or warn , ing of an armed merchant vessel
 of her public enemy, resulting Tn
 the death of a citizen of the Uinted
 States would constitute a just and
 sufficient cause of war between the
 United States and the German em-
 pire."
 Senator McCumber, republican, immediately introduced a substitute
 similar to Senator Cores original resolution, warning Americans off
 armed ships, pending negotiations
 with foreign powers to, revise the
 rules of international law to meet
 the new conditions of naval war fare.
 Senator James, one of the admin ! istration leaders. then moved to table all proposals-the McCumber resolu- tion the original and substitute res
 olutiOns offered by Senator Gore
 was carried with 6S senators, 4 democrats and 21 republicans votine
 with the administration, and F re-
 pubicans and two democrats voting
 against it. The democrats recorded
 in the negative were Senators Cham
 berlain and O'Gorman.
 After his substitute for the Cor,
 resolution had been slaughtered il
 the general motion to table, Senator
 McCumber of North Dakota rein troduced it as new resolution Tn asmuch as it contains a publica tion for a warning to Americans t keep off ships, discussion may aris again when the senator gets an op portunity to call it up next week Democratic and republican leader asserted, however, that should it b called up it would be forced to tn calendar where other business woul effectually smother it.
 A bitter denunciaton of the dem ocratic party in general and Repre- sentative Harrison of MisSssipI particularly, by Representative Coop CT, republican from Wisconsin, mark ed the house committed meeting.
