 FACT SAYS WILSON
iContinued from Page D

AtbnAAAuOh Aipih I a1C by Senator Stone defending his posi- tion. He said the resolution before the senate was not introduced by the President and that the President could take care of himself. adding, Il flatter myself that he holds me in higher esteem than some of the truckers who come and bow and say what do you wish
 Senator Stone concluded by saying he would be glad to accept Senator Smiths substitute. The substitute was adopted without a record vote.
 Senator Fall. Republican, bitterly denounced the Democrats for their at titude toward the resolution, declaring Democratic senators by suggesting that the letter was given out to in fuence public opinion, were accusing the President of the veriest trickery and impossible practices"
 A substitute for the Lodge resOlu- tion and it's proposed amendments then was offered by Senator Smith, of Georgia, Democrat. Prepared in col laboration with several senators. it would request the President ito furnish to the Senate whatever information he has concerning the 'Zimmermann note which in his opinion is not in compatible with the public interest.
 Treating Wilson Shamefully.
 Never since the impeachment of An drew Johnson, Senator Smith said, had he heard such ''insinuations" against the President from his own party.
 You are saying ro the President in this resolution" he went on. that you want him to declare whether this note is authentic and in your speeches here you are saying you will not be lieve him when he says it Is authentic if it comes from a belligerent govern ment."
 Fall Stands Upright.
 Senator Fall declared that if the President had felt he could trust those in the Senate who should be his advisors, he probably would have sent this information direct to the ap- propriate committee.
 In view of the attitude of certain Democratic senators. he added, he did not wonder that the President had de- cided to appeal to public opinion through the press.
 Senator Fall continued:
 Tt IS right in democracy that the people should be informed of machina- tiJns against their peace. Give the people information, and they will make you here act as you should act. 1 am grateful to whoever gave this in .crMation to the public"
 To Wilson's Defense.
 In a heated speech Senator Sauls- bury, Democrat, the president pro tem of the Senate, endorsed Senator alPs sentiments.
 T think his criticisms are in large measure deserved as to some of the speeches made here" said Senator Salisbury. There is just one man who may be able to keep this country out of war, and that is the President I have sat here and heard criticisms made upon him, aspersions cast upon him until wonder if senators really represent true Americanism and are imbued with the average patriotism an American ought to have"
 Stone Holds Out.
 A vote was about to be taken when Chairman Stone took the floor again to advocate his amendment.
 Denying that the personality or prestige of the President is involved. Senator Stone asserted that Senator Lodge introduced his resolution out of patriotic curiosity.
 ''I shall use such power as I have, said he, ito prevent this country en- tering the war until I feel that it's vital interests and honor are assailed and that there is no honorable escape" "
