 PASSAGE OF PEACE RESOLUTION SEEMS CERTAIN IN NEAR FUTURE
 Washington. June 11.-(Special J. It is very plainly indicated today that there will be no impasse between the House and Senate relative to the ver- blaze of the so-called peace resoiu. ton. Agreement in conference, it Is predicted. will be an event of the early future.
 Senator Knox, author of the reso- luton which passed the Senate is admittedly without inordinate pride of authorship. His idea will prevail although in its final form the reso- lution might contain the verbiage of Representative Porter of Pennsyi- yania-
 There is no "mysterious connec- ton" between the delay in enacting the resolution of peace and the con tinuationN of American occupancy of the Rhine territory. Such was im- piled by Senator Watson of Geor- gia and others. Delay is due to the necessity of perfecting the Senate resolution and of refraining from course so precipitous as to embarrass England and France.
 Peace to Prevail
 The resolution will be enacted, it that it be, it is pointed out During that it be. it is pointed out During the campaign every republican speak CT informed the public that peace would be declared. President Hard ing emphaticaliy stated that peace would prevail just as soon as re- publican Congress could enact the necessary resolution. and put it be- fore republican President
 In the meantime. Senator Boran constantly reminds the President of his promise Prodding Is probably un- necessary. But at the same time N makes certain the fulfillment of the prediction pledge.
 The Knox resolution has been amended in such wise as to protect American interests in confscated Ger man property in the United States; and to preserve for history the fact that the United. States has no apolo- gies for having made war against It is interesting, in this connection, to note that whereas in this session the republicans found it necessary vitafiy to amend the Knox resolution. in the preceding session they accepted 1t bodily and severely criticised President Wilson for his act in vetoing it.
 Return of Troops
 While there will eventually be of the existence of d state of peace-solely to the end that the United States might engage in trade with Germany-it does not necessa- rily follow that American troops will be returned simultaneously with the issuance of the declaration. As Underwood some days ago in the Senate pointed out, there could be no excuse for longer occupying Germany with American troops; but it is learned from excellent authority that withdrawal will be slow and de- liberate.
 This was plainly indicated when the amendment to the army appro- EiidltOn pih- PtOiooCN py A'CNA~pt Dial of South Carolina. was defeated in the Senate this week. The amend ment provided that troops in Ger many could not be paid 90 days after the passage of the bill. The peace resolution will be enacted within 90 days. But there is no certainty that the army will have been returned by that time.
 The Secretary of State, Charles E. Hughes, is in charge of foreign afr fairs. although 1t Is reported that Senator Lodge and the other mem- bers of the foreign relations conn inittee of the Senate would challenge his leadership.
 Mir. Hughes is in favor of contin- uing an alliance between the United States and the nations with which it fought the war. He would not em- barass England and France by with drawing troops from the Rhine until England and France feel sure that such action would not embarrass them.
 And MT. Hughes knows that Ger many owes the United States nearly $10O,00O for every day American trops have occupied Germany. This gives him another reason for careful  AGRARLAN BLOC HAS
