Unanimous Consent for
% s. Action.

The Knox peace resolution will
be voted on in the Senate at 4 p. m.
tomorrow, according to an agree-
ment reached between Republican
and Democratic leaders yesterday.
The Senate Unexpectedly amended
the resolution by striking out the
provision requesting the President
p cp7n separate negotistiops with
Germany looking to resumption OF
friendly relations.
Senator Lodge moved the amend
ment which was accepted without
a dissenting vote. AS the resolu-
tion stands now 1t is free from any
possible stigma which might be at
tached to an effort to make a sep
arate peace with Germany.
Two Speeches Made.
Two set speeches were made In
favor OF the Knox resolution, one
by Senator Kellogg. Minnesota, and
the other by Senator Lenroot, Wis
consin, both Republicans of the mild
rescrvationist group.
Senator Kellogg declared that If
we cannot reach peace through

not be ratified unless it is accepted

logg said.
Senator Lenroot oecIared that the
