until he could appeal to their calm CT Judgment, when war had ceased.
 For several hours the senate was held in rapt attention by the frank ness and vigor of the speakers. The discussion reached climax when Senator Smith, indignant at the in timation that he would place com mercialism over human life. dramat- ically inquired of Senator Williams
 Because Germany has been gull ty of murder, must we concede the right of perpetual robbery on the
 high seas to Great Britain"
 Senator Smith declared that con- gress should act as the president
 could do no more than write. He
 said he did not want to go to war but insisted that the United States
 should have the nerve to insist on it's commercial rights. The embargo
 to force England's hand, Senator
 Smith suggested, should be made eff

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.-Issues arising from the European war were discussed without restraint in the senate today in the warmest debate on international questions since con gress convened.
 Great Britain's interference with American trade was characterized az perpetual robbery" Germany was branded as guilty of murder" pleas were made for an embargo on muni- tions and foodstuffs to England; and charges were made and denied that British censors intercepted American mail to take advantage of trade secrets.
 Possibility of war to enforce Amer ican rights did not escape attention hut the suggestion of war was coun- terbalanced with appeal for calm de- liberation to await justice from cool CT heads after belligerents had re- covered from war madness.
 Debate was precipitated by Sena tor Hoke Smith of Georgia. who de- hVered a long, prepared speech, de- nouncing Great Britains course ir '''ulHS up neutral commerce, anC particularly her interference with cot ion shipments to Germany. He pro- posed an embargo against England who, he said, could not continue the war without munitions from this country nor feed her people withou food from the United States an( other neutrals. His vigorous assault upon Englands attitude was en- dorsed by Senator Borah of Idaho who said he was willing to take re. sponsbility for action, not speech to protect American rights, bu reared embargo legislation could no be passed by congress.
 From Senator John Sharp Williams the Georgia senator's utterances drev stirring reply. with a declaration he was not willing to go to war fo mere dollars, nor to have the peo pie of Dixie" placed in an attitud, of holding property on a plane witt human life, Senator Williams saiC until the issue of murdered Ameri can women and children on the higl seas was settled he would not nat the president of the United State about property nor to attempt {, force settlement for monetary loss O property from war maddened peopl

SOUTHERN PER IF BRIDGE OVER
 G|LAAT 5ACATON GIVES WAY

SucCumbing to the continued on rush of flood waters down the Gila river, the south approach and pier of the Arizona Eastern railroad bridge at Sacaton went out about 10 o'clock last night. carrying with it Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Com pany and Western Union Telegraph wires. The wire service had been in terrupted at this point earlier in the day when the northern pier went out. but linemen for both companies were quickly on the job and rigged up new wires that permitted resumption of service in the afternoon.
 With the giving way of the south ern pier considerable portion of the river bank caved in and carried away the emergency wires and thereafter there was no more con- munication by that route The West ern Union still had wires to the coast by the way of Parker and from 10 o'clock on, the Associated Press report of The Republican was handled by the telegraph company.
 The further damage to the bridge at Sacaton complicates the situation as far as resumption of traffic on the Arizona Eastern between Phoenix and Maricopa is concerned. It was expected that temporary repairs could be made within a few hours after the first pier gave way but with both ends of the bridge in the river it will now probably be several days before any means of passing trains over that division will be possible
 When the wire running into the of flee of The Republican went out of commission at 10 o'clock last evening the Associated Press immediately ar
