Frankfort. Ky March 6.-The kentucky state senate today passed resoiutioh strongly condemning the action of United States senators who prevented vote on the armed neutrality bill.
 The preamble recites that certain un- American, dsloyal, unpatriotic, traitorous and cowardly senators; namely, Clapp, Cummins Gronna, Kenyon, LaFollette, Norris, Works, Kirby, Lane, OGorman, Stone and Vardaman,' took advantage of senatorial courtesy and Senate rules and refused to allow said armed neutral ity bill to be voted on in the Senate, knowing full well that upon the passage of said measure depended the lives of hundreds of brave American seamen."
 It asserts the senators knew Germany repeatedly had insulted the American flag, torpedoed ships in defiance of interna- tional law and was making earnest efforts to bring the United States into war with Japan Athat they knew the United States was swarming with German spies and that bridges and intuition plants were be- ing ruthlessly destroyed, mot knowing how soon plots would be uncovered to as- sassinate our President, destroy our navy yards and naval and military stores, sink our ships and otherwise humiliate and dis credit us among the nations of the earth. :"
 The resolution condemns the outrage ous action" of the senators named as "unmanly, unpatriotic, un-American, un- paralleled, and unwarranted." It com mends the patriotic members of both branches of Congress who stood with the President in showing that while we may have insulated cases of toryism, as in revolutionary days, we are true to our country as were the heroes of the Ameri- can colonies"
