ton Says senator BOrah.
 Washington. Jan. 1S-Mexico came up in the senate again today when Senator Lippitt, republican, had the clerk read an editorial article al tacl1ing President Wilson and eulo- sizing the late Gen. Huerta. The readings had not proceeded far when Senator Myers, democrat, interrupted it.
 1T object to the further reading of this editoriaI' he declared. q think that it is entirely improper for the senate to put itself in a position of criticising the President of the U s. in eulogy of a man characterized a.s a cutthroat and usurper.''
 The senator is entirely right2' declared Chairman Stone of the for cien relations committee. 1T shall ol- jcct."
 Intervention Resolution.
 By viva voce vote further reading of the editorial was denied. Sena- tor Lewis, democrat, then asked that his resolution, which would direct the president to send armed forces to Mexico to cooperate with Carranza's troops in maintaining order, be re- ferred to the foreign relations com mittee.
 T would suggest" said Senator Borah, republican, that we act on the resolution now. l am ready to dispose of it at once. The resolu- ton might just as we'll be withdrawn for any good it will do American cit izens being murdered in Mexico, if it is to be sent to the foreign relations committee. I do not mean to reflect on the committee; but this is the hour when Americans in Mexico need pro- lection. The senate ought to make a decisive step this moment notify ing the de facto government in Mex ico that we are ready to use the armed forces of the United States to pro- feet our people,
 For Action Tomorrow.
 Vice President Marshall ruled the discussion out of order and Senator Lewis gave notice that later he would move to have the resolution referred in order that the committee might act on it tomorrow.
 Resolution Introduced.
 Senator Lippitt then introduced a resolution directing the president to employ armed forces immediately 70 protect the lives of Americans in Mexico. He said he was prompted to offer 1t because he had read a story that the United States would seek an agreement with the South and Gen. tral American countries heretofore consulted before taking any radical step. The same story had been de- nied in official circles earlier in the day, and when MT. Lippitt asked "how long it would take the U. 5. to get the permission of Argentine Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia and Guatemala to protect the lives of it's citizens in Mexico" the chairman Of the foreign relations committee re- torted the question did not deserve an answer.
 ITO suggest that the United States is bound to consul any other nation as to what it may or may not do,' said he, 'is so beneath the dignity of a senator that I decline to ansWer.'
 Senator Lppitt returned that the senate's recent request for full in formation as to Mexico had been in the presidents hands two weeks and that senators were compelled to de- pend upon newspapers for informa- ton.
 American lives arc being destroyed in Mexico daily he said, and we should not sit idly by. If l had been president last week when the report of the murder of American citizens reached Washington another sun would not have set on the Sierra Ma dre mountains before American soi- diers were hot on the trail of tho murderers. Such a doctrine would meet a responsive note in the hearts of the American people,
