 The resolution adopted was pro- posed by Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, and was accepted by Senator Hitchcock as substitute for his own. It resolves:
 "That the senate approves and strongly endorses the request by the president in the diplomatic note of December IS to the nations now en- gagged in war that those nations state the term upon which peace might be discussed"
