sion of the United States and faith>ln
the sagacious foresight of the officials of
the administration in the effort looking
to bringing about peace with Europe

lea"
Senator Borah attacking the Hitchcock
resolution said that in his Judgment the
United States by approving the Presi-
dents note would bind itself in the fu-
ture with European nations to protect the
integrity and security of smaller Euro
pean nations, and that If this meant any,
thing at all 1t meant that the army and
navy Of this nation must be at the dis
posal of any world combination the wars
end might see, TO give this protection.
Hitchcock Resolution
The Hitchcock resolution read as fol-
lows:
That the Senate approves and
strongly indorses the action taken bv
the President in sending the diplomat
ic notes of Dec. Is taken by the Presi-
dent in sending the diplomatic notes of
Dec. IS to the nations now engaged in
war suggesting and recommending that
those nations state the terms upon
which peace might be discussed" Sen
ator Borah suggested that the end de-
sired by the Nebraska senator might
be accomplished by other resolutions
before the Senate which are not so
broad in their approval.
There is the resolution of the sena :
tor from Washington" said Senator
Hitchcock, rising suddenly. IF that
would be acceptable to the senator
from Idaho ] will accept it,"
Senator Borah said he would not
object to that resolution and when
the necessary parliamentary procedure
had been complied with. voting began.
The first test was the defeat, SO to
27, of a resolution introduced earlier
in the day by Senator Gallinger, the
Republican leader, after conference
of Republicans. 1t would have the Sen
ate say:
That the Senate of the United
States in the interest of humanity and
civilization expresses the sincere hope
that just and permanent peace between
the warning nations of Europe may be
consummated at an early date and
approves all proper efforts to secure
that end"
The galleries were we'll filled when
the vote on the Jones substitute began.
There was little excitement.
Senator Borah's speech which was
abruptly ended by the agreement on
the Jones substitute was chiefly direct
ed to warning the Senate that the
Presidents note in his opinion stipu-
lated a new foreign policy for the
United States which would mean re-
pudiation of the Monroe doctrine, and
his belief that adoption of the Hitch
cock resolution would commit the Sen
ate to that policy.

Of the Journal subscribers along Wa

taken from the doorways in which
they are left by the carrier boys, and
carried off, one gentleman stating that
he had not received his paper since
the new year came in. There seems
to be well-established custom
among certain individuals of getting
their morning news in this way, and
further than that of carrying the pa
per away with them after they fipish
reading it. The man referred to above
remarked yesterday that he did not
