The resolution adopted was pro-
posed by Senator Jones, Republican Of
Washington, and was accepted by
Senator Hitchcock as a substitute for
his own. 1t resolves:
THE senate approves and strongly
indorses the request by the president

The compromise ended the debate
when it prepared certain that action
would be deferred until Saturday and
soon after Senator Borah had begun
a vigorous speech against the original
resolution. There had been startling
assertions from both sides of the
chamber during the day, though none
attracted such attention as that of
Senator Lewis in closing the argu-
ment for the Hitchcock resolution.
Let me say on my own authority"
said Senator Lewis, that 1 agree with
the sentiment expressed from any
quarter, the secretary of state or
anyone else (referring to Secretary
Lansings first explanation of the
presidents note to the powers) that

WASHINGTON-A of Presi-
dent Wilson's request for state
ment of peace terms from the Eur
opean belligerents was voted by the
senate Friday night at the conclus-
ion of three days OF stirring debate.
Action came with dramatic sudden
ness when Democratic leaders de-
cided to accept a form of resolution
that would not commit the senate
to Endorsement of the whole of the
presidents note and ten Republicans,
of the progressive group joined the
majority in making the vote forty
eight to seventeen.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey was
the only Democrat to vote in the neg
ative. Discussion of the subject had
reached climax during the day with
a sensational declaration by Senator
Lewis, chief spokesman for the Demo-
Gratis replying to Republican criti-
cism OF the presidents course.
without referring directly to the
submarine controversy the senator
said the United States could not keep
out Of the war If continued, and that

conception of orders or zeal of an
officer as an excuse for an injury to
citizen or property.

The governmental and industrial
crisis of which this law is the out

The measure was rushed through
congress last summer by President
Wils,n to ward off strike by 400,-
900 railroad workers that would have
tied up transportation In this coun-
try and gave promise of leading to
conditions verging on civil war. This
strike menace has not yet been OBJ

coyote as they thought lying upon
rock not far from them, but in po-

going through its head, but 1t is un-

Thanks to the inexhaustible war

forces now. as before. constitute Il
terrible adversary for defense as we'll
as for the offensive. Everything is
better than dreams and deceptions.
The German factories are working
full speed. The number of German
guns. thanks to these efforts, have
been Increased tremendously during
the las, six months. The entente pow
ers should never rest. We must work
with all our power to reach the heights
of the hostile achievements
The Paris Temps says:
we must not allow ourselves 10 be
deceived by the names of the nu-
merous towns which have again be-
come French. The real Importance of
Hindcnburg's classically executed re-
tlrcment is the shortening OF the Ger
man front. In the whole of Germany
the maneuver of the chief commander
is judged with calm and unshakcn
faith.
1T must be regretted that part of

template prudently the real facts. EN-

comments of recent events are out of
