PRESIDENT PRUDENT PERSONS WILL PROMPTLY PROFIT BY OUR GREAT JANUARY "XL S3 SECOND PEACE MOVE re-Iiiventory SaleJ 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 ; .V&k xff- ZZ :::: ( ' - - . ; I- ! - - V s;.;iwss; jmkss&s; &mvt WxsSjii- ; v.

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 ed on -Justice and righteousness. I don't want it ever to be said the United States wants to have its neutral inter ests put against what some of the warring nations of Europe believe are their vital rights to existence. "Secondly. I do not want to be put In tne position or Indorsing a state ment that there is no material differ' ence between the objects the definite parties are waiting for.

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.

The Exchange Telegraph Company's Amsterdam cor respondent quotes the Arbelter Zeitung. of Vienna, in its comments on the pos sibilities of peace, as considering the entente's reply to the proposals of the central powers as a peace note, if rightly understood. The newspaper, as quoted, urges the governments at Vienna and Berlin not to attach too much importance to the question of words when the lives and happiness of millions of people are con cerned, and declares that If the central powers discover that the entente is ready to negotiate for peace arter evac uation in the west, they should re spond instantly. The peace terms of the Teutonic al lies, which Count Julius Andrassy, for mer Hungarian Premier, is reported to have said the entente could learn from President Wilson, are believed to con sist of sreneralizations. which Germany and Austria-Hungary communicated to the Pope and presumably to the Amer ican authorities. The Pope expressed to the bermin and Austro-Hungarian Emperors nis hope that their terms would be "moder ate and acceptable." The Emperors re sponded that It was tneir purpose ig formulate "moderate terms.
