Peace Resolution
Goes to House Today
Upon Passage 1t Viii Go to
Conference.-The Early Dis
patch to the President is
Certain.

Washington. May 16.-Nearing the
end of its long legislative journey, the
republican peace resolution, passed by
the senate Saturday by vote OF 43 TO
So, will be formally sent to the mouse
tomorrow without any pre-arranged pro-
gram1ne for rushing it through confer
ence. It's early dispatch to the presl-
dent, however, is certain.
Chairman Porter of the house for
eign affairs committee is prepared to
ask that the resolution as adopted late
Yesterday by the senate, be sent to con-
ference as soon as it is formally brought
into the house There is no indication
that his request will encounter opposi-
ton and Speaker Gillett is ready to
name Mr. Porter, Representative Rogers
of Massachusetts, another republican
and Representative Flood, democrat,
Virginia, as house conferees.
Before this action, however, the senate
must formally name its conferees. Sen
ator Lodge and Senator Hitchcock, RI
val leaders in the treaty fight, will be
named but ranking next to Senator
Lodge among the republicans on the
foreign relations committee is Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, who op-
posed the resolution and leaders saiC
! there was doubt as to whether he woulC
AS soon as the resolution goes to con
| ference, which will be early in tn
week, leaders in the congress do not ex
pect any trouble in ironing out the diff
| ferences between the two branches
| While the senate resolution differs en-
tirely from the house measure, the ain
of the two is the same and the troubl
| is largely one of phraseology. Their
are, however, some essential difference
as follows:
Senate omission of the house provis
ion, making the resolution imperative a
to Germany unless that country formal
gives to the United States all rign
and privileges that might have accrue
TO this country had it accepted the peac
treaty.
The senate ended the war with bot
Germany and Austria, while the hous
acted toward Germany alone.
Different methods for bringing peaC
officially, the senate repeating the decls
ration Of war and the house declarin
the state of war at an end.
President Wilson's veto of the resC
luton IS regarded as a certainty. TheI
has been no announcement as to whetl
er an attempt viii be made to overrid
the veto, but democrats assert there al
not votes enough for that purpose.
