Consideration Of the District appro-

it will be possible to complete the
hearing and revise the bill by the end

No meeting of the subcommittee
was held today. The subcommittee
has not yet considered the House
amendment doing away with the half
and-half plan and still has under con-

Transportation Home.

The House today adopted a confer
ence report on the joint resolution pro-
vidine for paying transportation home
for all war workers whose services are
no longer required here. The Senate
already has taken similar action. The
conference report fixes the date as Feb
ruary 20 on or before which employees
must be separated from the service in
order to derive the benefit from the act.
This date was set in compromise be-
tween the House. which had adopted
March 81, and the Senate, which amend
ed the House resolution to January Is.
The conference agreement also ex-
tends from 10 to 20 days tho time with
in which those who already have been
disconnected from the service, between

tho act must apply for the reimburse
ment on transportation which they have

All of Americas naval forces over
seas cannot be brought home before
January l., 1920, at the earliest, the
House naval committee was told to-
day by Capt. Laning of the bureau of
navigation, who asked for a million
dollar appropriation for receiving
ships at home and abroad.
Capt. Laning said the one serious
mistake of the Navy during the war
was the recruiting of 1900 too MANY

Division Not on Party Lines.

Chairman Hitchcock said later that di-
vision of opinion in the committee on
the resolution was not confined to party
lines He would not predict what action
might be- taken.
General discussions of questions COM
ing before the peace conference and the
Senate was advocated by Senator Knox
te reach "a clear crystallization of
views
Declaring that immediate and prf-
mary attention should be given to en-
forcement upon the enemy of our war
aims. Senator Knox continued:
The definite problem of formally
ending the war is: By what meas
ures as to restitution. reparation and
guarantees shall we assure that the war
now won shall stay won. that the
menace now removed will stay for
ever removed? Germane, in a broad
sense, is the question by what meas
ures of safeguard we may make the
recurrence of any similar menace in
the future most improbable. Ger
name. too. in this broad sense, are
certain of the questions of the con-
ditions under which the United States
is to face the future.
Certain questions, but not all ques-
tions. We must guard against too
great amplification just here.
"New Monroe Doctrine"
Even without an entente" Senator
Knox added, except for the unfin-
ished business of enforcing and insur-
ing our war aims, the sUnited States
can, without ENHANCEMENT what
ever place in advance at the service
Of the worlds peace, if seriously
threatened, the whole of it's influence
and of its potential power. This can
be done by new declaration of some
correspondence to the Monroe >doc-
trine-a declaration that a menace to
the liberty of Europe is a menace to
America, and that America will con-
suit her friends and prepare for action
if ever such menace shall arise
again"
Succinctly, Senator Knox, nj his ad-
dress, defined his position as follows:
81. That the issues of the war were
issues between the central powers
and the allies and ourselves. The
function of a peace treaty is to settle
those issues.
"2. The issues as to a league of ma
tions and a revision of the laws of the
seas are issues between the allies
themselves and between them and
each of them and all of the neutral
powers.
"3. I have shown 'conclusively that
upon these latter issues there exists
the widest diversity of opinion, and
have concluded that it is wise not
to force upon a conference that must
adjust the comparatively simple de-
ma.nds of the one the complexities and
confusions of the other"
