With no apparent opposition COM
ing from the White House or State

the Senate are going ahead with
plans to end the war with Germany

FRENCH FEAR KNOX PLAN.
1t was learned today that President

length the subject Of peace by resoiu-
tion with members OF the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. In his informal
conversations, however. the President
has not indicated that the, passage of
the Knox resolution was In any way
Incompatible with the Administra-
tion's wishes. Secretary of State
Hughes. 30 far, as is known, has not
expressed an opinion on the desirabil-
ity OF peace by resolution.
The peace resolution. however, has
been the subject Of long and earnest
conversations between Rene viviani,
the special envoy of France, and Re
publican members OF the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. The French re-
garded the Knox resolution as q thing
OF terror. seeing In II a notice to the
world that the United States was pull
ing away from her late allies and
making q separate peace with Ger
many with no safeguard for Frances
future safety.

planned to N. .viviani, and he was as
sured that when finally presented II
