UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Congress S
will let the president have free hand
in his attempt to find a common
ground upon which European bellig-
erents can meet to form ulate plans
for a lasting peace.
Both houses today refused to en-
dorse or take any action on the presi-
dents action in dispatching his now
historic notes to Europe's warriors.
The senate for the second time to-
day refused 70 act on resolution of
approval.
In the house Representative Bailey
moved that that body go on record as
approving the presidents action. The
resolution was referred TO the foreign
affairs committee.
In the senate Hitchcock offered a
substitute to his resolution of yester-
day. The substitute reads:
Resolved that the senate approves
and strongly endorses the action
taken by the president in sending
diplomatic notes of December Is 20
the nations now engaged in war, sus-
gesting and recommending that those
nations state the terms upon which
peace might properly be discussed"
Hitchcock said he introduced the
substitute because his first resolution
had been sent to the foreign affairs
committee where it probably would
remain. Senator Gallinger objectins,
asked that action be deferred until
after the holidays.
The Bailey resolution was almost a
verbatim copy. of VIM. Jennings
Bryan's telegram of congratulation to
the president yesterday. 1t was very
similar to that of Hitchcock. He de-
clared the president had rendered an
invaluable service to a war stricken
world" and has afforded the belliger-
ents an opportunity which it is fer
yently hoped they may not disregard.
''It would be a reflection upon the
nations at wlr to doubt that they
know the ends for which they are
f1ghting or to assume that they have
any purpose which they are unwilling
to reveal" the resolution said.
A statement by both sides, 1t was
said. no matter how divergent,
would clear the way for peace by
giving the basis for negotiations be-
cause we believe neither side VIII
consent to assume responsibility for
continuing the unspeakable horrors of
this conflict, if any reasonable terms
can be secured"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Recover-
ing slowly from the dizzy whirl OF
yesterdays history-making develop
ments government officials and for
eign diplomats here today looked to
the foreign Offices Of the bellfgerent
nations for the next peace move,
AS outlined In early reports strong
exception was at first taken to PRESS
dent Wilson's overtures in both the
English and Canadian press. This
outspoken exception seemingly today
has been toned down, the move, now
being called y~Alereiy "inopportune.
TIE attitude of allied diplomats here
shows a trend in the same direction
The administration believes how
ever, this feeling is not snfhcte9 TO
cast any real gloom over the s4ua-
ton. 1t appears the same surprise
and wonderment was occasioned IN
Europe by the presidents overtures
as was manifest here when his move
became known. This first wonder
ment over, the president believes the
warriors will feel far more inclined at
least seriously and carefully to con-
slider his suggestions. Accurate
sounding Of the allied governments
attitude cannot be definitely known
for several days at least. This gov
ernment Is meanwhile convinced that
when this accurate sounding is taken
it may show the proposals struck
responsive chord.
After struggling with attempts TO
fathom Just what lay behind Secre-
tary Lansing's two announcements
yesterday-on qualifying the other
50 as practically to discount some OF
its apparent observation-disclosures ana
diplomats here reached the following
today:
President Wilson has made his first
step in a more vigorous course de-
termined upon to maintain American
rights during the war.
He has warned both sides that In
event of any herculean and hrai des-
perate effort to win-should present
peace overtures collapse-A1nerica
must not be made to suffer
The move was prompted primarily
to bring peace before further blows
NAV be struck at the structure or IN
ternational law.
II was made not only in the inter-
ests of the United States but was In
fluenced by the appeals from all neu-
trails TO this country for some strong
positive stand.
The United States government IS
determined TO remain out Of the war,
if possihle. but warns OF danger OF
unrestricted activities by oeiliser'
ents should the strife continue. SO

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The govern
ment's wisdom in allowing President
wilson's note to soak" twenty-four
hours. was apparent, today. 1t saved
torrent OF violent denunciation of
! america. Today although the British
press was practically unanimous in
u deploring President Wilson's inter
yention, the comments ranging from
pained surprise to bitter resentment,
there wasn't such sweepingly violent
denunciation as there would have
ssbeen IL the first impressions had been
allowed full play.
For instance, editors in discussing
1.-The note just after the contents had
been made known, but before it was
released for publication, commented:.
! ssi.ii 4 Is means crisis between the
United States and England. 1t con-
stitutes the worst affront America
( could give the allies. The situation
may become more serious than any
similar one since the Mason Sidell
case"-and SO on.
But editorials announced by the
same editors in the morning showed
evidence of restraint and of the soft
pedal" At that there were plenty of
vigorous expressions showing that
the British nation is in no mood to
meet Germany except on the allies
own terms, which have already been
outlined sufficiently for Germany to
accept or decline.
The favorite remarks with which
the Wilson note has been greeted
were that II was "ill timed 'inop-
perfume" doubtless well intentioned,
but ill-advised." and "deplorable
blunder." Few question the motive Of
spirit which impelled the note. but
.most Of the editorials point out that
1t was unhappily conceived and
tacitly worded-especially in its ref
erences to small nations" This, 1t
was contended. conveyed the I'M
preston that the allies were equally
guilty with the central powers in this
respect.
Entire appreciation was voiced
through the press and by the public
In the emphatic utterances OF Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Bonar Law,
In commons last night, regarding
peace. His statement was construed
as a direct answer to America.
1T is all very well to say let US
get their terms of peace, he said,
but can you get any terms more
binding than the treaty for the pro
lection of the neutrality of Belgium?
Can you come to any conclusions on
paper or by promises, that will give
Us greatet security than we had be-
fore this war?
Not this nation alone, but the neu-
tral nations, will I hope. understand
The position at which we have now ar
rived. Germany has made peace pro-
posals. On what basis? On the
basis of her victorious armies. Is

conditions under which this war was

Ter which the war has been carried
