sue out of the debates in Congress for
the present has failed.
To-day the Senate plunged into a
discussion Of this subject with an aban-
don that surprised the more conserva-
tive members and that finally led Sena-
tor Stone, chairman Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. to cut off the debate
with a call for an executive session.
The debate in the Senate disclosed a
surprisingly strong sentiment in favor
of legislation curtailing the rights OF
American citizens to travel the high
seas on belligerent vessels or on ves-
sells of any other character which
carry munitions Of war.
The disclosure of this sentiment was
the most important development in the
submarine situation to-day and is
likely 10 be reflected In the Admins
tration's handling OF the case Of the

momentous sessions of Parliament in
the history OF England. The sur

or Is widower without children de
pendent upon him. Premier Asquith
in introducing the measure said it was

the married men of military age In
England would not be called to the
colors until the single men had been
enlisted lie added that the pledge
was given because there was over
