PEACE RESOLUTION
is FILED IN SENATE
Move by Senator Knox Would
Terminate War With Both
Germany and Austria.

Washington.-A joint resolution pro-
posing repeal of resolutions by con-
gress declaring a state of war with
Germany and Austria Hungary was
reported out by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by strict party
vote.
Introduced by Senator Knox, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, as a substitute
for the Republican resolution recently
passed by the House, the measure was
formally presented to the senate by
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader,
with the announcement by Senator
Knox that he would open debate on it.
Leaders of both parties predicted
several weeks of discussion, with little
prospect of action until near the time
set for recess for the national conven-
tionS. In some quarters the opinion
was expressed that President Wilson,
in the midst of the debate, might re-
turn the treaty of Versailles to the
senate
Virtually solid Democratic opposi-
tiOn to the substitute was predicted
by leaders Of the party. Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican member of the
Foreign Relations Committee, who did
not attend the meeting, said he and
probably other Republicans would op-
pose it.
Straight-out reappeal of the war res
olution is the principal object Of the
Knox substitute which would require
the President to establish friendly
diplomatic and commercial relations
with Germany and with "the govern
ments and people of Austria and Hun
gary" Like the House resolution. il
would reserve all American rights
under the treaty of Versailles and pro-
vide for repeal of war legislation and
war powers of the President. 1t would
hold German property until all Ameri-
can war claims were satisfied, but does
not include the House provision for
acceptance of the resolutions terms by
Germany within fOrty-five days under
penalty Of commercial embargo.
formal report only on the resolu-
tion was filed by Senator Lodge and
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. ad-
ministration leader i'm the treaty fight
decided to submit no minority report
but to present the opDOsition's argu-
ments during debate.

Aqua Prieta, Sonora.-The revolt of
Juarez against the Carranza govern
ment of Mexico gave the Revolutions
lists control of the largest state in the
Republic of Mexico.
Only one small CarranZa garrison in
Chihuahau, that of Casas GrandeS,
near the Sonora boundary, remains
loyal to the central government, ac-
cording to a statement tonight by Cen
eral p. Elias Calues, commander-in-
Chez of the revolutionary armies in
the northwest
The fall of Juarez had been expect
ed for days at military headquarters
here. Emissaries from Sonora had
been sent to Ell Paso to confer with
Mexican officials for turning the town
and soldiers over to the revolutionists,
the commander-in-chief stated.
According to the General Gales, the
delay was caused by the desire to have
the revolt of CarranZa troops, COM
plete and take the city without fight
ing.
1--WE did this to avoid any compli-
cations with the United States author
1ties," he said. 1--WE feared that in q
battle bullets might fall into Amer
lean territory"
More than half the length of the In
ternational boundary between the
United States and Mexico now is held
by the Revolutionists, he added. and
conferences are being held through
which they hope to soon have the en-
tire International boundary in their
hands. Thus Carranza's only COM
munication with the outside world
would be ocean routes.
General Gales announced that his
troops here would move into Chihua-
hua Immediately. Casas Grandes will
be the first objective AT Casas
Grandes there are between 300 and
800 CarranZa troops, it was said, and
among these have been reported evi-
dences of pro-revolutionary tendencies.
From Casas Grandes the troops of
Callies will be entrained for Juarez.
Sonora troops and those at Juarez
will Immediately move south, General
Gales said, to join other revolution
lists on campaign through the heart
OF Mexico toward the capital.
