FIGHT IN SENATE
RESUMED TO-DAY
Senator Chamberlain Plans to
Reply at Length to Presi-
dents Criticism.
NOT THE ONLY SPEECH.
Administration Supporters Will Also
Develop Oratory-No Opposition to
Referring War Cabinet Bill.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The controversy
between the administration and members
of the Senate military committee over the
proposals for a war cabinet and director
of munitions will be brought before the
Senate tomorrow, with prospects Of spir-
tied discussion.
Senator Chamberlain plans to rise to a
question Of personal privilege to reply at
length to President Wilson's denunciation
of the senator's recent statement that
every department Of the government had
broken down in the war as a distortion Of
truth. Several speeches on behalf Of the
administration also are planned.
In a series Of conferences among Senate
leaders to-day plans Of procedure in the
forthcoming contest over the legislation
which the President proposes were crys-
talized tonight. Administration spokes-
men expressed confidence that the mill
tary committees bills never even would
be brought to a vote. 1t was agreed to-
day not to oppose Senator Chamberlain g
motion for reference to his committee of
the war cabinet bill. Afterward. how
ever, it is proposed to refer the bill also
to the naval affairs committee for study
regarding its effects on the navy.
Democratic Leader Martin conferred
during the day with leaders Of both
factions and also with several promi-
nent republican senators. A futile effort
was made to dissuade Senator Chamber
lain from making his speech.
Beyond informal reference Of the wal
cabinet bill to the committee, no actor
is expected tomorrow and to check dis.
cussion it is planned to adjourn the
Senate at the close Of the day until Mon
day.
The White House to-day gave out thi:
| telegram received by the President from
former Representative John j. Fitz
gerald. who was chairman Of the House
appropriations committee:

PEACE NOW IS
GERMAN VICTORY

New York. Jan. 23.-Warning Of the
atrocities. "horrible. brutal. beastly and
consistently Official" that American SOL
diers soon will be suffering at the hands
of Germany's inhuman army, was voiced
in an address here tonight by Major
Grayson NJ. P. Murphy, formerly in
charge Of the American Red Cross work
in France. who returned to this country
Sunday. Major Murphy resigned from
the Red Cross to join the staff of General
Pershing.
II cannot describe the horrible things
that Germany has done to women and
children and the poor, old suffering peo-
pie in countries where she has set her
dreadful foot Major Murphy said Brit
ish officers told Of scores Of wounded Eng
lish soldiers piled in heaps, and then bonn
barded with hand grenades. 1t will be but
a short time before our boys are going to
suffer the same things. You have got to
build and build and sacrifice. no matter
what it costs to beat that beast"
Building up the spirit Of the people be-
hind the lines in Europe is the great work
of the Red Cross. the speaker declared.
Contributors to the Red Cross in this
country have thus become one of the
largest factors in the war. he said.
up to this day, Germany is victorious
in this war;" Major Murphy continued.
ANY peace that is made to-day on the
basis of to-day's conditions would be
practically a complete victory for Ger
many and for the German idea. Germany
| has lost nothing in this war but blood. She
| has fought so far on the territory OF
others. She has drawn from the territory
CT others vast supplies of materials and
vast sums Of money She has had between
| ,nnnn
her for practically no wage-really as
slaves. She has established her cursed
hold on Austria. on Turkey and on Bull
Caria, and she has at her feet murdered
serbia and unfortunate Roumania.
| "If the war ended to-day with France
ruined in the north, Belgium wrecked.
with Great Britain fearfully damaged.
with Russia crumbled and disorganized
| and an absolute prey to the devilish
mechanism and ingenuity of Germany, the
world would not have chance to live
except as Germany said that the world
should live. In time she would cross the
ocean and throw her great military and
naval power against us. If we can't beat
her now while fighting with our allies.
we can never expect to beat her single
| handed.
IAN English woman told me that when
there was "a threat Of German invasion,
the women carried poison about them to
save themselves from what they would
face if German troops landed"
