TREATY PLEAS
BY FRIEND AND
FOE IN SENATE
Knox, Backing Resolutions to Declare State of
Peace, Urges Some Sort Of Settlement; Is
Seconded by Smith, of Georgia.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Expressions
that seems to point toward re-opening
Of the peace treaty fight within few
weeks, were voiced on the senate floor
today
The symposium Of views that went
into the record during the brief debate
include opinions from virtually all fac
tions of the divided senate membership,
but they all struck note Of concilia
ton. Differing widely il their sugges-
tons for solution, they stood together
on the general proposition that politics
ought to he forgotten and that the
senate, acting independent of executive
opinion, ought 10 do something promptly
to establish peace.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania. a
leader in the irreconcilable republican
group of treaty opponents and a mem
ber of the foreign relations committee,
brought the subject TO the floor by an
other attempt to get before the senate
his two resolutions to establish a state
Of peace. The effort was blocked. but
he obtained unanimous consent to send
the measure to the committee. where he
expects to renew his request for action
A plea made by Senator Knox for
some sort of a settlement was second
ed by Senator Smith or Georgia, a
reservation democrat, who declared the
time had come to stop academic discus
sion Of who held up the treaty and get
together in give and-take effort for

compromise Action also was urged by
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, one OF
mild reservation republicans, and by
Senator Myers, Of Montana, a democrat
who voted last session for some reserva
tions and also for unreserved ratifica-
ton,
In the compromise negotiations pre-
ceding private conferences, the principal
activity seemed to be among the demo-
Gratis.
Among the democrats there was much
discussion of the Possible effect of the
compromise negotiations on the contest
between Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
and Senator Underwood, of Alabama, for
election as democratic leader Of the
senate.
Senator Underwood declares that
while he stands for some sort Of com
promise, he is not in revolt against
President Wilson nor leading any sort OF
opposition to the treaty.
Consideration of the first of Senator
Knox's resolutions, which would ratify
the treaty insofar as establishment Of
a state Of peace is concerned, was block
ed BY Senator McKellar, democrat, Ten
nessee, while Senator Nelson stopped
the second one, proposing merely TO
declare that state Of peace exists.
In view of the attitude of President
Wilson. Senator Knox declared. the
senate would proceed in its own way to
secure a formal peace status, working
out the best solution it could at once.

Discoverer Is Forbidden
to Use it Industrially;

London. Dec. 1S.-The invention of a
new steel, far in advance Of any high
steel hitherto made, is ascribed by the
Daily Mail to John Oliver Arnold.
professor of metallurgy at Sheffield Unl-
versity. The newspaper says that the
American government is aware of
Professor Arnoid's invention and is in
vestigating it and that American metal
lurgists also are working along similar
lines.
Professor Arnold who is said to have
been the dlscoverer of vanadium STEEL
claims, according to the Daily Mail, that
the new steel possesses far more com
mercial possibilities. that it is unrivalled
in hardness, that in tool form it will
remove greater weight than any other
steel and that it possesses comparatively
longer life.
Can Use 1t IndustraIly
The Daily Mail indicates that Profes-
sor Arnold uses molybdenum instead of
tungsten and says:
IF large quantities OF molybdenum "a
hard, silver white metallic elementl can
be found and the price reduced, tungsten
Will take back seat. because per cent
molybdenum will achieve more than Is
per cent tungsten"
Professor Arnold, says the newspaper
is prevented under the defense of the
realm act, from utilizing his invention
industrially. He is patenting his inyen-
ton in England and America and will
be allowed to proceed with his Ameri-
can patent on condition that he publish
es nothing concerning it. He is abso-
lutely forbidden to communicate the de-
tails of his discovery to any body in
Great Britain except under censorship.
Britain Warts cecre.
The Daily Mail says the government
has asked Professor Arnold whether he
is willing to hand over his invention TO
the state and on what terms, but that
Arnold does not intend to comply with
the governments desire to secure it,

The Daily Mail which asserts that
