very great part which our navy played
IN winning the conflict"
"You didn't believe all that?" asked
Senator Poindexter.
II knew what they said was true,"
was the rejoinder.
"You don't believe a part Of that
was just courtesy?" asked the Senator.
Not "Motor Lorr;es"
II didn't need to be told what we
had done." the Secretary flashed back.
II knew the United States navy had
not played merely the part Of motor
lorries,' as Admiral Sims now says. The
navy did the best piece of team work
in the world, and no one official can
claim entire credit for what was done,
Harking back tothe question about
which the whole controversy on medal
awards largely hinges, namely, the
granting Of the Distinguished Service
Medal to commanders who had lost
their ships from mines or enemy
torpedoes, Secretary Daniels made this
observation:
"ln such awards it is not question
OF success or failure on the part Of the
commander in the emergency, but of
the courage, chivalry and resourceful-
AASoS "AAA~A AAO UAopldyS.
At the outset Of to-day's hearing
Secretary Daniels read into the record
a. statement he had prepared disclosing
the fact that both he and President
Wilson had strongly opposed the ac-
ceptance by officials of the army and
navy of foreign decorations and that
even after Congress passed bill
authorizing this the President had d.
rected the State Department to inform
foreign governments that the United
States did not wish any such awards
made.
II think the whole custom is want
ing. in merit and should be abandoned.
1t is nothing more, after all, than q
system Of swapping"
a disclosure of the day that had
nothing directly to do with the Sims
Daniels controversy was that Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, had refused
a distinguished service medal. Secre-
tary Daniels told the committee of the
refusal. Mr. Edison, the secretary
said, gave his whole time to the ma
tlon during the war, spending many
months at sea studying anti-submarine
devices, but when offered decoration
would not accept it, saying that he had
given his servic IS for love Of country.
not for rewards or decorations.

awards. Those governments ordered a
certain number Of medals distributed
through American headquarters and all
general officers were given them If tho
lumber Of medals was sufficiently large,
he said.
Replying to questions, Colonel Lewis
aid he had no idea why he was
swarded the Italian war cross, but
.dded that he had been informed all
american officers who had won the
Distinguished Service Cross were given
the Italian award. Many foreign dec
orations were received by virtue of
high offices held by American general
officers, he said.
Commenting on the routine Of the
awards board, Samuel T. Ansell, coun.
sci for the committee, said an average
OF approximately five minutes was all
that could be given to the considers
tion of each award.
Representative Bland, Republican OF
Indiana, asked whether this was enough
to pass thoroughly on the merits Of
each case and Colonel Lewis replied
that many could be disposed Of In

Accused of Lodger's Death
Rooming House Keeper Said to
Have Turned Off Gas

Jens P. Nelson, who conducts a
rooming house at 81 West Thirtieth
Street, was arrested last night, charged
with homicide, following investigation
of the death Of Francis Counes, one of
the lodgers, who was asphyxiated yes
terday while he slept.
The. police say that the gas in
Counes's room was burning at midnight
Friday, when Nelson went down into
the cellar and shut off the supply, ap-
parently to save money. Counes must
have neglected to turn off the burner
in his room, for the jet was still open
when the gas was turned on again, and
Counes was asphyxiated.

Three miles north OF Chelsea, Otis

AUSTRIA INCLUDED
IN PEACE PROPOSAL
SENATE COMMITTEE SUBMITS "A
RESOLUTION DECLARING
STATE OF WAR ENDED
Substitute for the Measure Recently
Passed by House 10 ! Straight Out
Repeal OF the War Resolutions
and Restoration Of Peace.

1Washington.-A Joint resolution pro-
posing repeal of resolutions BY con-
gress declaring a state OF war with
Germany and Austria Hungary was
reported out Friday by the senate for.
eign relations committee by a 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 tt the senate late
In the day by Senator Lodge, Repub-
ncan leader.
Leaders of both parties predicted
several weeks OF discussion with lit
tie prospect for action until near the
time set for a recess for national on
ventions. In some quarters the opin-
ion was expressed that President Will
son in the midst of the debate might
return the treaty of Versailles to the
senate.
Virtually solid Democratic opposi-
ton to the substitute was p~redicated
by leaders OF the party.
Straight out repeal Of the war reso-
luton il the principal object Of the
Knox substitute, which would request
the president to establish friendly dip
lomatic relations with Germany and
with "the governments and people of
Austria and Hungary" Like the house
resolution, 1t would reserve all Amer
lean rights under the treaty Of Yer
eaiIles and provide for repeal Of war
legislation and war powers Of the pres
ident. II would hold German prop
erty until all American war claims
were satisfied, but does not include
the house provision for acceptance OF
the resolutions terms BY Germany
within firty-fiye days, under penalty
of a commercial embargo.
A formal report only on the reso-
luton was filed by Senator Lodge and
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, ad-
ministration leader In the treaty fight,
decided to submit no minority report,
but to present the opposition's qrgu-
ment during debate.
