duct of the war
Senator Hale, chairman OF the

the resolution before the senate
for the third time with a Request
for mediate consideration, a
threatened democratic filibuster,
led by Senators Pittman, of Neva-

Secretary Daniels notified Chair

more convenient for him to begin

set for that day.
Secretary Daniels made public q
letter 10 Chairman Hale, of the

Secretary Daniels said that when
the report of the board reached

million men in the naval service
during the war, only about llS en-,
listed men had been recommended
for the navy cross and none mai
been recommended for the dis
tinguished service medal.

there were reports of brave ana
heroic action by many enlisted men

rected a study Of these reports ana
as a result directed that distlng-

crosses be awarded"
Mr.. Daniels recalled his order
asking the entire service person
mel to report instances of courage
or unusual service and added;
MANY men whose deeds are YET

Citations accompanying the llst

have been awarded not only to
men on ships in the war zone, but
also to several members of the
naval hospital unit which served

Washington, Jan. 26.-The ques-
tion of peace treaty ratification
was flung back to the senate floor
with the virtual collapse today of
the bipartisan conference.
The end came with swiftness
after Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts. republican leader, had in
formed democrats led by Senator
Hitchcock, that there could he no
change jim the reservations on the
Monroe doctrine and Article y.
Democrats walked out for a con-
ference, agreeing to reply TO Sena-
tor Lodge early tomorrow
First news of the break was
given by Senator Hitchcock in a
statement which broadly intimated
that failure of republicans to give
ground in an effort to reach COM
promise was due to the threatened
revolt of republicans. State lead
ers admitted tonight that they
could see no hope of agreement,
This meant they said, that the
question would be fought out on
the floor beginning probably to-
morrow. Senator Hitchcock de-
clined to speculate on the possl-
bilIty of so early a renewal of hos
tIllties but most democrats de-
clared nothing was to be gained by
further conferences.

citation, the national committee OF
| "hieh held its first meeting In this
city on December 10, announces
| that eighteen states have already
organized state committees prepar-
| atory to the great national patri.
Que revival early next spring. The
states are as follows; Alabama,
I Arizona Delaware, Georgia, Idaho.
! Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Mississippi. Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Mexico, North Carolina.
North Dakota, Texas. Vermont and

! bia has also formed a committee.
Four more states will organize
committees within the next few
days, while strong organizations
already at work along similar lines
in four other states are to affiliate
with United Americans for more
effective efforts.
These affiliations call attention
to the fact that the whole country
seems TO be awaking to the need
for comprehensive and thorough
crusade for Americanization. Or
ganizers for United Americans
! have found no fewer than eleven
| associations in as many different
| states formed for the express pur-
pose Of Ameficanizing the more
than eight million illterate Amer
ican born and alien adults, as evil
denee that leaders everywhere now
realize that these unframed minds
are fertile soil in which to plant the
idea of revolution and communism.
Originators of these various state
organizations are beginning to real-
ize that the AmercaniZat ton move
ment cannot be dealt with in de-
sultory way; but that present con-
ditions call for comprehensive ma
,ional crusade under unified COM
mand. For this reason they well
come the advent of United Ameri-
cans. The field director who Or
ganized the North Dakota commit
tee at Fargo reports the most en-
thusiastic meeting in his experl-
ence.
United Americans is national
body created for the purpose OF
mobilizing all patriotic Americans
for the purpose of preserving con-

American institutions Hereunder
and thus promoting conditions for
greater contentment.
The national patriotic revival
scheduled for next spring will in
clude a brief intensive crusade In
the course of which it is hoped that
not fewer than five million mem
bers will be enrolled, each individ-
ual of whom will be expected to do
his full share in continuing cam
paign of education in Americanism
which will not end until the nations
al system is purged of every Un-
American doctrine.
This education in Americanism
is TO be accomplished by a variety
of means. including q select corps
of men of national prominence
who will deliver addresses wher-
ever opportunity can be found.
Their efforts will be supplemented
by volunteer speakers of local
prominence who will address noon

vised the senator's present
that he had been called into
meeting by certain republican
senators and for that reason
had not been able to attend
the last conference Friday,
He regretted to say that he
found il impossible to resume
the conference for compro-
mise except upon the UNDER
standing that no change
shall be made in the reserva-
tion on Article Y or on the
Monroe doctrine. The demo-
cratic members retired for n
rrivate conference and will
make their reply to Senator
Lodge Tuesday morning at a
meeting AT 1890 o'clock.
"The conference up TO the
time its meetings were inter-
rupted had tentatively agreed
upon the preamble and all sec
tions of the reservations eX-
cept that relating to Article
X. the Monroe doctrine and
one or two minor matters and
an agreement was apparently
also consummated on Article
X when adjournment suddenly
came, followed by the inter-
vention OF the irreconciliahle
republicans"
Senator Lodge at first declined
to comment on the meeting. saying
there was nothing to he given out.
Statement by Lodge.
After being informed of the
Hitchcock statement, however, he
said:
oI have only this to say
about the committee meeting
This morning. That I said to
the committee that there is a
very strong feeling among
many senators against any
change in the Lodge reserva-
tions either in words or in
substance and that ! thought
it only fair to say now what
I have already said in public
that there can be no compro-
