Committee Amendments To Shipping Bill Turned
 Down in Senate
CANADA LINE AFFECTED
Proposal Would Prohibit Service Between Here
 And Seattle

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Sen ate today eliminated from amend ments to the House shipping bill committee proposals prohibiting com mon carriers from transporting freight or passengers between Am erican ports when all or part of the journey would be made in foreign bottoms. The view of Senator Por- ter J. McCumber of North Dakota that American travellers would be greatly inconvenienced if such a law prevailed.
 Senator Wesly L. Jones of Wash ington, chairman of the committee, contended the provision recommend ed by the committee was designed to build up an American merchant marine for Alaska
 If the committee proposals had been adopted, the Canadian Pacific Steamship line now operating be tween Puget Sound and Alaskan ports at best would have been com pelled to adopt devious methods of handling business between Alaska and the United States and probably would have been forced out of bus;- ness entirely in Alaska.

HOUSE PASSES
 SENATE ACT TO
 TERMINATE WAR Republican Members Virtual ly Solid In Support Of
 Peace Measure WILSON VETO EXPECTED Executive Freely Criticised During Debate Preceding
 Taking of Vote
WILSON VETO EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, May 21. The House today passed the Senate's sub stitute resolution declaring the United States war with Germany and Aus tria to be at an end. The measure now goes to President Wilson, who, it is thought, is virtually certain to veto it.
 The vote today was along party lines, the Democrats with few ex- captions vainly opposing passage and the Republicans throwing almost united strength behind the resolution.
 The President came in for liberal criticism from members of both par ties during the debate preceding the vote, speakers declaring that his re. fusal to accept reservations anl in sistence in throwing the treaty into the political campaign was responsl- ble for the United States failure to enter into common treaty
 The vote was 238 to 139, indicat- ing that the expected veto would not be overridden unless additional strength is developed by the Repub- lican majority. Twenty Democrats voted with the majority and two Republicans against the resolution.
