Washington, June 13.-By a vote of

United States and the Central pow
ers.
AS a substitute for the Knox reso-
luton. already passed by the Senate.
repeating the declaration of war, it
was put through. 305 to 81 as a Re-
publican measure with the absence
OF only one Republican vote-kelly of
Michigan forty mine Democrats join
ed the landslide. First thrown out
on point of order, a motion by Rep
resentative Flood, Democrat, Virgin
ia, to send the resolution by to COM
mittee with instructions to report a
substitute requesting the president to
negotiate with the enemy countries
for a treaty of peace. the House voted
down, 254 to 112, another re-commit-
ting proposal relating to disarma-
ment.
There was no debate on the latter
motion which provided for an amend
ment to the pending measure reserv-
ing the right under the treaty of Yer
sailles ito enter into an agreement
with Germany and her allies and the
powers associated with the United
States in the war for joint disarma-
ment.
The effort of the democratic lead
ership to place the party in line
against the resolution failed. Chair
man Porter of the foreign affairs
committee presented Representative
Bourke Cochran Democrat, New
York, to make the closing argument
for passage of the resolution. There
had been talk during the.day that Mr..
Cochran would not be found in line

ton, declaring 20 SIS would live to
apologize for IS act which he de-
scribed as making peace with a mere
clasp of the hand. after the fashion

The principal attack on the reso-
luton was based by Democrats on
the ground that it did not properly
protect American rights and that the
United States, in ATTEMPTING to nego-
tiate a treaty with Germany and her
ally would sit down with feet and
hands tied without being able to de-
mand the rights won by war. Repub-

LEAGUES INVITATION
TO talk MANDATES

Paris, June 13.-(By the Associated
Press).-The United States has been
reminded through diplomatic channels
that the League of Nations has re-
ceived no answer to it's invitation to
the United States to send a represent
alive to discuss mandates.
Both the class "a" and "B" man.
dates are on the agenda for the meet
ing of the council of the league to be
held in Geneva on June II.
The colonial offices of the various
countries are interested in bringing
pressure for an early solution of the
question of mandates. The British
appear to be anxious to close up the
matter on account of the situation in
Mesopotamia. The French colonial au-
thorities also are urging prompt
settlement.
There are two tendencies inside the
League of Nations with regard to the
question mandates. One is to refer
the whole question back upon the
principal powers which negotiated the
Versailles treaty and are responsible
for the attribution of the mandates
they hold. France is understood to
favor modification of the terms of the
mandates to get the American views,
while Great Britain opposes this po-
sition.
The other tendency is to consider
that the United States has dcfaulted
to by not sending a representative TO
the League of Nations, as she was in
vited 70 do. and finally accepting the
terms of class "a" and "B" mandates.
Those favoring this position profess
to regard the failure of the United
States to reply to the invitation to
attend as equivalent to abandonment
of the American protest.

HARRISON SEEKS
TO DRAG HARDING

Washington, June 13-Sen. Harri-
son, Democrat, Mississippi, intro
duced today a resolution requesting
Pres. Harding to inform the Senate
whether there is as much reason and
justification for reprimand or the
recall Of Ambassador George w.
Harvey for his Pilgrims Day speech
of May 10, 1921 as for the reprimand
for his speech Of June Z, 1921.
The resolution also requested the
president to report whether he di-
rected or approved the recall order
sent Admiral Sims land why an or
der by the President or Secretary of
State of similar import is not issued
against Ambassador George w. Har-
vey."
Sen. Harrison sought immediate
consideration of his resolution but OBJ
lection by Sen. Curtis of Kansas, Re
publican whip. forced it over.
! THE remarks of Ambassador
George w. Harvey, touching the rea-
sons for our entry into the war;" the
resolution said, do not represent the
| views Of the American people and
were most reprehensible and the pro-
vocation for his rprimand or his re-
call is as great, if not greater than
that for the recall of Admiral Sims"
! Sen. Harrison told the Senate that
Ambassador Harvey's statement that
1--WE were afraid not to fight" was
IAN insult to every soldier, sailor and
marine who served under the stars
and stripes"
II can't believe" he declared. that
Gen. Pershing and his associates
were impelled by the thought that
they were afraid not to fight I can
not believe the thousands of young
men all over the country enlisted be-
cause they were afraid not to fight.
IT can't blieve Alvin c. York, the
greatest hero of the war, was a hero
because he was afraid not to fight. I
can't believe that Quentin Roosevelt,
son of a gallant soldier. and of a
distinguished leader of the Republi-
can party laid down his life because
he was afraid not to fight.
Il see no reason why Sims SANDER
on the part Of the American people
should be the cause for his recall
when one who is higher than he
should be allowed to remain at his
post"
