Washington, May 5-Opening de- bate on his resolution to declare the state of war with Germany and Aus tria at an end, Senator Knox, Repub- lican, Pennsylvania, declared in the Senate today that President Wilson was arbitrarily maintaining that the nation technically was at war in or der to coerce the senate in ratification of the treaty of Versailles.
 There was no excuse whatsoever for greatly proIonging the war beyond the signature of the arnistice,'' Sen ator Knox said, and the only ex- pIanatfon for so doing was the delfb- crate aim to retain all those auto cratic, compulsory powers with which the executive had been endowed for the prosecution of the war in order that they might be used for other purposes
 Summing up his argunnts that the war was at an end, Senator Knox said:
 'sFirst-The war is at an end by virtue of the arnistice of Novembe CT II, 1918, and of amendments and re- newals thereof, such armistice being in fact a exploitation ending hostili- ties by virtual surrender of the en- emy.

ATTRACTIVE BEADED
 BAG MADE AT HOME

In these days of beaded bag popu- larity, the home made variety. with only a.smalI outlay of time and money, and may compete favorably with those designed for exclusive shops.
 The foundation of such a bag should be of duvetyn, velvet or a similar soft finish material. At any department store. pieces of solid beading may be obtained at little expense. This beaded trimming is done on black net and when sewed down with fine stitches on the material it will give the impres- sion of beading done directly on the velvet. By carefully matching differ ent pieces together, the whole surface of the bak can be covered, or spaces of velvet allowed to intervene between designs
 The bag is made up by sewing the two pieces of material together. After the lining has been inserted. the top 4dge of the material is stitched to the frame to complete the bag.
