Furthermore his attitude is, as I understand it, that If @ German submiarine should attack a merchantman, and {f American citt- zens should suffer he would hold the German Government strictly to ac- count and If the German Governinent persisted In its course he would cail the matter to the attention of Con- gress, the war-making body of the Government “My opinion ts mature, and my sense of duty is imperative.

He sald it Was essential that the President | should have a thorough knowledge that Congress was behind nim if he} was to bring about a satisfactory | solution of the problem with Ger- many and with Great Britain. If it! were possible, he said, he favored | putting the Gore resolution to a vote late to-day. Senator Stone was followed by Senator Ledge, who agreed the ques tion whould come to a vote at onge.! He said that the President sorely| needed the aid of all Senators, of whatever political purty. WILLIAMS IN STRONG DEFENS OF WILSON. Senator John Sharp Williams, Democrat, stanchly defended the President. “The time has como for you and sald Senator Williams, “to act ==) | Drink Hot Water | in the Morning | Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before breakfast. ! ‘TVo'tect yoer best. day ta and dey out, \ » -imside; no sour bile to dg Ses tongue and sicken ‘your | breath or bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- vou bath you bathe outside.

Senator Gore defended his resolu- tion. “My only contention,” he said, “is that pending this struggle the legal rights should be withdrawn. We ought to say, as we would to a son or daughter, ‘Don't you go on an armed ship.’ If an American is killed, what consolation to Wis family Is wart" “Your resolution doesn't withdraw the right of any American to travel, does it?” asked Senator Clapp, “No; it urges Americans not to exercise it,” answered Senator Gore. Senator Borah asked if the resolu- tion passed and 100 Americans were Killed by a submarine, would the President refuse to take action, Mr. Gore replied that passage of his resolution would prevent just such a slaughter, by refusal of passports to Americans, Senator Gore insisted his resolu- tion is of the same principle as the ruling of the State Department, re- fusing to issue passports to Ameri- cans who wished to vislt warring ountries, “In ope case,” answered Senator Oliver, “the State Department acts under {ts constitutional power; in the other, Congress leaving ite proper province Senator James sald he distinguished is between Americans —“galltvanting around sight-seeing” and business travellers.

Senator Gore said he would accept ‘fa denial from Benator Stone that the Administration thinks war might not | be undesirable. “The President never stated to me that he belleved in any way or enter: | tained the thought that war between the United States and the Central Powers would be desirable or result in good to the United States,” sald, | Senator Stone. | “why aid you not gifk the President | as to the truth of this report?” one Senator asked Mr. Gore. | “L had no invitation to see him, nor had I any reason to believe he, | would tell me if I asked him. If the report is untrue, of course, every one in lad,” the Senator replied. “L have no passion for pence,” Sen- ator Gore continued, “I do not be- lieve all peace t# honorable or that all war 1s dishonofable, but I repeat that what I heard of the reported con- versation between the President and the Senator from Missourl was be- Heved to be founded on fact because of the source from which it came to me. I was convinced that ther must be some basis for the report that the Prealdent suggested to the Senator from Missouri that the United States might bring the war to @ close in the middle of the summer.” Senator Stone jumped to a second time. ‘The President of tHe United States made no such statement as quoted by the Senator from Oklahoma," Sen- ator Stone declared emphatical! “Whatever the President did say 4s something that I do not care to re- pent, Whenever I go to the White House for a conference with the | President, what he says to me is sacred.

The Germans would have here all the resources of Metz within easy reach.) A report from Paris says that 2,000 Brandenburg troops, who took Fort do Douaumont by storm, are now trapped tnside the fort.

A few days ago it was re- ported that the German loss in dead alone was 45,000 and that the total casualties numbered 160,000, Two reports which reached London to-day are attracting much attention.
