Would Indorse the Act.

The resolution" said Senator Lewis,
Imposes upon this body the sole duty
of approving or not approving. indors-
ing or not indorsing the act taken by
the President in sending notes that
peace might be entered upon in some
form Of negotiations"
Senator Norris pressed Senator Lewis
for further construction of the resolu-
ton do you think that our adoption
would mean approval of everything in
the note?" asked Senator Norris.
by no means: not at this time" Sen
ator Lewis replied. my construction
is that it does nothing more. nor goes
no further. than merely approving
action of the United States in sending
the note requesting that terms of
peace be submitted. 1t does not ask
us to approve specifically the terms OF
the note nor Of it's contents"
Then II does not put the Senate on
record as approving the contents OF
any note, but merely Of the sending Of
IT." asked Senator Norris.
The Senator correctly states my
view" Senator Lewis responded.

Would Require Much Money.

Estimates obtained from the chief of
ordnance as to what expenditures
would be necessary If the government
was to furnish all it's supplies of arms
and munitions, withoW regard to pri-
vate manufacture. showed that an enor-
nous outlay Of money would be neces-
sary. 1t was estimated that to meet
the peace needs of the army the gov
eminent would have to spend $4,000
600. in the erection of plants additional
to those now operated by the govern
ment. In the case of war an outlay of
1927, 100000 for plants would be neces-
sary, it was estimated.
1t was pointed out to the board that
the possibility of war must be given
consideration in this matter, and that
II the government should go into the
establishment of plants capable of
meeting the war needs, after these
needs once had been supplied, many
OF these plants necessarily would stand
idle during peace.

ADVISES AGAINST
us. ARMSP PLANTS
Special Army Board Finds Ex.
elusive Governmental Man.
ufacture Not Feasible.
FOR PRIVATE CONTRACTS

1t is not desirable that the govern
ment manufacture its arms, munitions
and equipment for the army ex-
clusively. in the opinion of a board of
army officers and civilians appointed
under authority of an act of Congress
last summer.
The report of the board was trans
mitted to the Senate today by the Sec
rotary of War. The board, after an
exhaustive investigation. in which the
government arsenals and many private
munlt1on plants were visited. reached
the conclusion that it was not feasible
or practicable for the government TO
manufacture all the arms. munitions
and equipment it might need for the
army with any due regard to economy
or preparedness within reasonable
time.

Criticises Part Of Note.

Criticising the portion of the note
dealing with future peace. Senator
Lodge concluded: After few hours
are asked to take this leap in the dark
without facts or knowledge. What we
are asked to do in this resolution would
be the height of unwisdom on the part
of the Senate or House of Representa-
tives."
Senator Lewis. democrat. of Illinois, at
the request of Senator Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee. re-
piled to Senator Lodge.
Il want to warn the Senate. said
Senator Lewis. against being carried
away by the eloquence Of the senator
from Massachusetts from just considera-
ton of the only thing before us to a
consideration of matters not connected
with the resolution at all" The senator
referred to the reply of Daniel Webster
to Hay, in which he advised that at
mariner. drifted far from his course,
should consult his compass and his chart.
ct trust the Senate will agree with
me- Senator Lewis continued. that
it would be wise for us to return to
the chart to find from what exact point
we are sailing. The Hitchcock resolu-
ton is the only thing before US. Where
is there in it line or a word which
calls for approval of any of the con-
tents of the message OF the President
or invites this body into consideration
of it's effect in the present or in the
future?
Where is there word from which
the senator from Massachusetts, could
construe that there were before this
body the various serious obligations
he has so graphically pictured? Where
is there anything that would embark US
on all those unprecedented principles
he suggests
Asked by Senator Norris of Nebraska
IL he contended that the resolution did
not approve any part of the note ex-
cept that requesting the belligerents
to state terms of peace, Senator Lewis
said, as he read the resolution. it mere
" approved the action of the President
in sending a note recommending that
terms of peace be sent.

Open Hearing Pleases Republicans.

Democrats said they expected to
show that neither Messrs- Lawson.
Wood nor Gardner have any tangible
evidence of a Teak" and thus the ma
1ority members of the committee will be
justified in reporting the Wood resolu-
tion unfavorably.
Republicans. obviously pleased over
obtaining an open hearing, declared
emphatically today they would force a
full investigation.

Not a Parallel, He Says.

He attacked Senator Lodges argument
based on the refusal of the United States
to accept the offers of Great Britain and
France during the civil war to bring
peace. saying that such action offered no
parallel to the present actions OF the
President
Great Britain and France" he said.
Offered the terms themselves of peace
between the states. How could the United
States accept these intercessaries when
they chose to mediate and at the same
time presented their terms for peace"
That Senator Lodge had not fully
dents of the civil and Franco-Prussian
wars in regard to neutral intervention
was asserted by Senator Lewis.
1.-The senator from Massachusetts,, he
declared. "misquoted history OF the
times that a democratic President be
made to appear not cognizant OF Dip
lomatic procedure.
Not Interested in Precedents.
Il am not interested in whether the
President conformed to precedent or
not. but if the President is to be judged
before the country on an indictment
from such an eminent source as the
senator from Massachusetts. and it is
the past are in direct variance with
the course of his action. then there
must be truth as to the historical
facts
Senator Lewis declared that the over
lures from Great Britain and France
to end the civil war were of mediation
imposition of their peace terms-and
not a mere request for union terms. He
also said Senator Lodge had stated
historical facts regarding neutl al in
in a most misleading manner"
IT think we must see." Senator Lewis
continued. that in all the presidents
mentioned by Senator Lodge there is
no parallel whatever here. There is
no question of precedent to 1t. And
there is absolutely nothing to fmpeach
the course taken by the President in
the mere tender of his good offices.

lions which threaten her? Will Amer

Nine. Jonre.

All Parisians are familiar with the
small mansion occupied by Marshal
and Nine. Joffre at Passy, Rue Michel
Ange. The couple lived there In per-
feet harmony. Thanks to the radiat-
ing kindness Of Nine. Joffre. her hus-
band always found in their home
regularity, rest, relaxation, JOY, says
the BOOkman. Like most French
wives, Nine. Joffre is animated, cheer
full, modest, industrious, possessed OF
sober elegance and an affection for
her home which makes her put it
above everything else. In the midst
Of celebrity she has always stunned
notoriety; and she sought refuge from
the tributes won by her excellent
heart and illustrious name in work, in
the peaceful seclusion of the family.
It is said that the dream of the couple
is to buy, after the war Is over, a mo-
tor housebOat, and thus to cruise
anonymously along the rivers Of their
beloved France to which the marshal
will have been the first to give the
assurance of victory.
