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 treatyaof Versailles. s
 tfThere was no excuse whatsoever for greatly proIonging the war beyond the signature of the ar1nistice,''. Sen ator Knox said, ttand the only ex- planation for so doing was the de1ib- 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 argumnts that the war was at an end, Senator Knox said:
 '.First-The war is at an end by virtue of the armistice of November II, 1918, and of amendments and re- newals thereof, such armistice being in fact a equalization ending hostii- ties by virtual surrender of the en- erny.
 SecOnd-Ine War Is at end by the silent cessation of hostilites which concluded the war in fact. ] seThird-The war is at an end be- | cause the government against which
 we specifically declared war has ceas- ed to exist.
 1 -eFourth-The war is at an end be-
 cause we, together with our assist 1 ants, negotiated with the people whom we had been fighting a, treaty of peace which provided that the wal should. terminate and din1nnnate re-
