Debate Waxes Warm in Up- per House Over Endorse
 ment Resolution.
SENATOR LEWIS
 "SHOWS UP" LODGE
Massachusetts Senator Is Accused of Incorrectly Reciting History to Put Democratic President in
 Bad Light Before Country.

Washington, January 1.-The Amer ican note to the belligerent powers suggesting the discussion of peace terms, was again the subject of debate in the senate today, but two hours of discussion failed to bring a vote on the Hitchcock resolution endorsing the action of President Wilson in sending the note. The resolution went over, to come up again tomor- TOW, with prospects Of further at tacks by the Republicans.
 Senator Hitchcock failed to secure unanimous consent for a vote on his resolution late tomorrow, and during the parliamentary maneuvering that followed, Senator Works gained the floor to make a 4-hour, prepared valedictory speech. Before Senator Works began, however, Senator Stone, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, with whom Presl- dent Wilson consulted two days ago. said the news had gone to the world that the presidents note was under discussion, and that the senate should act upon it at once. Senator Gal finger. the Republican leader, replied that any attempt to force action would not meet with approval.
 After listening to SApator Works for two hours, the senate recessed until tomorrow. when ne will resume The vote on the Hitchcock resolution can not come up, at least, until he concludes.
 Lewis and Lodge Lock.
 The principal speeches today were by Senator Lewis, who defended the presidents action, and by Senator Lodge, who, concluding his attack, begun yesterday, declared the adop- tion of the resolution would be leap in the dark into international nego- tiations with which congress has no legal connection, and of which it has no knowledge.
 Senator Lewis, replying to Senator Lodge, strongly dissented from Sena- tor Lodges suggestion that the adop- ton of the resolution would mean the dragging of the United States into European politics, and accused the Massachusetts senator of incorrectly reciting history to put Democratic president in bad light.
 'This note," said Senator Lewis con it's face merely tenders the good offices. When gooG offices are ten dered, it is not customary, although permissible, to first sound out the parties. The contrary oftentimes is the course adopted, lest those involv- ed adverse to peace would be busy to intercept it's results"
 II. s. Attitude in Civil War.
 The rejection by the United States of tenders by Great Britain and France to end the Civil war, Senator Lewis said, was in no way prece- dent.
 ''When the civil war was on," he continued, England had already giv- en indication of her willingness to aid the South in the success of secession She had extended both her sympa- thies and approval. She was, there fore, no longer neutral. Her atti- tude was known to our government It was not tender of good offices If the senator is just, he will recall it was an offer to mediate. They rendered them, both France and Eng land, to mediate, and themselves of- fered the terms of peace between the states"

 Earlier, in response to tele. graphed subpoena, MT. Lawson had notified the speaker that he would be unable to appear. because he was sailing for Europe Saturday, and when the second message arrived, house leaders were considering where was any authority to bring the Bos7 ton financier here by force. Speaker Clark was of the opinion that under the resolution. as adopted by con- gress, there was no authority to use force in compelling the attendance of Mr. Lawson.
 The first public hearing will open tomorrow morning. lnasmuch as Representative Gardner. one of the witnesses. is in Detroit. and Mr. Law son was not here it is probable that the committee will adjourn over until Monday.
 There was much speculation about the identity of the New York banker who, Mr. Lawson said in his first tele- gram, might give information about the "leak" and who was also leaving for Europe.
