WILSON NOT MAKING
Senate Adopts Modified Reso
lution After Long and
v Heated Debate.
BORAH OFFERS WARNING
President's Proposal to Join in the
Movement to Guarantee World's
Peace Is Not Included In
Final Indorsement.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Approval of
President Wilson's request for a state
ment of peace terms from the Euro
pean belligerents was voted by the
Senate tonight at the conclusion of
three days of stirring debate. Action
came with dramatic suddenness when
Democratic leaders decided to accept a
form of resolution that would not com
mit the Senate to Indorsement of the
whole of the President's note and ten
Republicans of the progressive group
joined the majority in making the vote
48 to 17.
Senator Martine, of New Jersey, was
the only Democrat to vote in the nega
tive. Discussion of the subject had reached
a. climax with a sensational declaration
by Senator Lewis, chief spokesman for
the Democrats, replying to Republican
criticism of the President's course.
Senator Fears Crisis.
Without referring directly to the
submarine controversy, the Senator
paid the United States could not keep
out of the war if it continued, and that
America would not again accept mis
conception of orders or zeal of an offi
cer as an excuse for an injury to a
citizen or property.
The chief objection -urged against
the original resolution offered by Sena
tor Hitchcock was it would Indorse
the President's offer to join in a move
ment to guarantee world peace and his
declaration of the interest of the United
States in small nations. Progressive
Republicans joined Senator Lodge and
others in this contention.
Substitute Resolution Adopted.
The resolution adopted was proposed
by Senator Jones, Republican. of
Washington, and was accepted by
Senator Hitchcock as a substitute for
his own. It resolves:
"The Senate approves and strongly
indorses the request by the President
in the diplomatic notes of December 18
to the nations now engaged in war-that
these nations state the terms upon
which peace might be discussed."
The compromise ended the debate
when it appeared certain that action
would be deferred until tomorrow, and
soon after Senator Borah had begun
a vigorous speech against the original
resolution. There- had been startling
assertions from both sides of the
chamber during the day, though none
attracted such attention as that of
Senator Lewis in closing the argument
for the Hitchcock resolution.
America Likely to Be Involved.
"Let me say on my own authority,"
aid Senator Lewis, "that I agree with
the sentiment expressed from any
quarter, the Secretary of State or any
one else (referring to Secretary Lan
sing's first explanation of the Presi
dent's note to the powers) that this
war cannot continue without America's
being Involved in the conflict.
"Do you feel the people of this Na
tion are in such temper that they can
ever again allow any commander of
ships, any captain of army, any officer
of diplomacy to visit upon this country
an injury to a citizen or property and
escape on an excuse of misconception
of orders or zeal of an officer?
"If these conditions be repeated
again, America will not again accept
that form of apology and will resent
and punish to the full extent of her
power. No amount of logic or pacifi
cation would prevail."
Borah Looks to Future.
Senator Borah, attacking the Hitch
cock resolution, said that in his judg
ment the United States, by approving
the President's note, would bind itself
in the future with European nations to
protect the integrity and security of
smaller European nations and that if
this meant anything at all it meant
that the Army and Navy of this Nation
must be at the disposal of any world
combination the war's end might see, to
give tms protection.
xne iiitcncock resolution read as
xollows:
That the Senate approves and
strongly Indorses the action taken by
the President in sending the diplomatic
notes of December 18 to the nations
now engaged in war suggesting and
recommending that those nations state
the terms upon which peace might be
discussed.
Senator Borah suggested that the
end desired by the Nebraska Senator
might be accomplished by other reso
lutions before the Senate, which are
not so broad in their approval.
"There Is the resolution of the Sena
tor from Washington," said Senator
Hitchcock, rising suddenly. "If that
would be acceptable to the Senator
from Idaho I will accept it."
Senator Borah 'said he would not ob
Ject to that resolution and when the
necessary parliamentary procedure
had been complied with, voting began.
.The first test was the defeat, 36 to 27
of a resolution introduced earlier in

the day by Senator Gallinger, the Re-
publican leader, after a conference ot
Republicans. It would have had the
Senate say:
"That the Senate of the United
States, in the, interest'Of humanity and
civilization, expresses the sincere hope
that Just and permanent peace between
the warring nations of Europe may be
consummated at an early date and ap
proves all proper efforts to secure that
end."
Senator Borah's speech, which was
abruptly ended by the agreement on
tne Jones substitute, was chiefly el
ected to warning the Senate that the
President's note, in his opinion, stipu
lated a new foreign policy for the
United States which would mean re
pudiation of the Monroe doctrine and
his belief that adoption of the Hitch
cock resolution would commit the Sen
ate to that policy.
Lodge "Artful," Say Lewis.
Speaking of Senator Lodge's refer
ence to published reports that Presi
dent Wilson had Germany's peace
terms. Senator Lewis said this was only
hearsay and, if true, made no differ
ence, but merely had been used by Sen
ator Lodge so that the country at large
would feel the peace proposal was
made at the instance of Germany.
Never did the Senator from Massa
chusetts do a more artful piece of
work," he added. "I am not for Ger
many, nor the allies; I am for America."
Will anybody say that we have no
interest in the terms of peace," asked
Senator Lewis later, "when we con
template the aspect of the possibility
of our possessions passing Into the
hands of one or the other of the bel
ligerents; when we consider that the
Philippines may be in jeopardy at any
lme; that Hawaii may be threatened.
and that we may be embarrassed in
Alaska?"
Senator Borah, declaring he wanted
peace and hated to stand against the
President in a movement for it, op
posed the Hitchcock resolution as an
indorsement of a policy that means
war, not peace.
I have no destre to criticise the
President's action in sending the note."
said the Idaho Senator, "but the note is
here and we have to deal with it- If
It contains the language and has the
meaning that I understand it to have,
it Initiates an entirely new policy, and
when this body adopts this resolution
wc will then have ratified, and con
firmed that policy.
I assume no American wants to see
any of the belligerent powers dismem
bered and broken up. Our greatest
hope ifl that these powers will realize
the time has come when they should
cease the conflict and enter upon ne
gotiations for peace."
Continuing. Senator Borah declared
he could waive everything in the note
in deference to President Wilson ex
cept that part which refers to the in
terest of the United States in the email
nations of the world.
In other words." he said, "this
means we as a Nation are interested in
the future protection and welfare of
small nations of Europe: Just as much
concerned as the governments of Eu
rope, and stand ready to accomplish
their protection and Integrity by every
influence and every resource at our
command, which means the Army and
Navy of the United States would be at
the command of any co-operation
agreed on between this Nation and the
governments of Europe."
Monroe Doctrine Abandoned
Such proposals taken In connection
with a recent speech by the President,
Senator Borah said, meant abandon
ment of the Hon roe doctrine and en
trance of European nations into Ameri
can politics.
Referring to Senator Lewis' state
ment that the President's note said
nothing about abandonment of the
Monroe doctrine. Senator Borah pic
tured results of American participa
tion in a world league with Argentina.
Should Argentina then refuse to sub-
rait a dispute to conciliators, he added:
We would not only have agreed
that European nations could come over
and engage In war against Argentina.
out we would have to join with them.
Assuming that Japan and Russia
should Join a peace league and become
involved In a dispute over Manchurian
commercial privileges, the Senator
said, the United States might have to
aid Japan in a war against Russia in
injury of American interests.
I am afraid, he commented, "that
tnose wno advocate a league to en
force peace have forgotten this Is
Government .of the people, toy the peo
ple ana tor tne people.
At this point Senator Jones submit
ted his substitute, which Senator
Hitchcock accepted. Senator Norrls
then withdrew his proposed substitute
and Senator Borah said that under the
circumstances he would limit his ad
dress.
"But in voting upon the amendment
of the Senator from Washington." Sen
ator Borah said, "I want to say there
are some other features of the Presi
dent's note with which I do not agree.
However, they are such that I would
not allow them to stand in the way
of assisting the President's movement
toward peace.
"1 don't want peace If it is not found

States wants to have its neutral inter

Announcement Is Result of Appre
hension TJiat Rumor Would Af
fect Tenor of Allies' Rply
to First Communication.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The State
Department late today authorized the
statement that President Wilson was
not contemplating sending another
peace note.
Counsellor Polk gave out the fol
lowing statement:
'The report that the President is
preparing to send a new note to the
belligerent powers is false and without
any foundation. The President has no
second note in contemplation."
Following the Cabinet meeting Sec
retary Lansing announced that Presi
dent Wilson had authorized him to say
that the American Government had no
other note In contemplation, and that
such information was being sent to all
American diplomatic representatives
abroad.
Secretary Lansing would not discuss
the question further, but it was under
stood that the reason for the announce
ment was the apprehension on the part
of the Administration that reports that
another note would be sent would af
fect the entente reply to the Presi
dent's first note expected here in the
near future.

Anarchist Four Jurors Choaen in
San Francises Bomb Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5. Four Jur

the trial of Thomas J. Mooney, labor
organizer, who is charged with murder
as the result of a preparedness-day
bomb explosion here July 23, 1916. in
which 10 persons were killed and 40
maimed, was adjourned until Monday.
Eight of the talesmen were eliminat

the prosecution and the remainder by
the defense. The prosecution peremp
torily challenged Solomon Blbo because
he admitted his friendship with the
family of Maxwell McNutt, one of coun

The defense, headed by VT. Bourke
Cockran, New York lawyer, shot chal
lenges at those talesmen whom it be
lieved antagonistic toward labor
unions, anarchists and anarchism.
Mooney, the prosecution alleges, "is a
rabid anarchist."
In the course of the examination of a
talesman just before court adjourned
Cockran asked him If he was a mem

Commerce, or if he read the organiza
