LODGE TO CALL UP KNOX PEACE It's Conceded Senate Debate Will Terminate Within Few Days in Favorable Vote, Says Dispatch. Washington, April !6.—Senator Lodge, republican leader, will call up for consideration Tuesday the Knox peace resolution ending the technical state of war with the central pow ers. It is conceded that the Senate debate will terminate within a few days in a favorable vote. The Knox resolution, as reported to the Senate by the foreign relations committee, was altered In several re spects from the measure Introduced. It made more specific the clauses re lating to the retention of Austro Hungarian property obtained by the alien property custodian. Also it set forth that this government reserves rights granted under treaties of peace with Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, as well as with. Germany. Democrats wont uiocx. The democrats expect to make known their, opposition to a declatory peace and put themselves strongly on record against It, but they do not In tend to block ithe resolution perma nently or for a protracted period. "I suppose you will let debate on the resolution run for a reasonable time," said Senator Underwood, dem ocratic leader, when the resolution was reported by Senator Lodge. "I hope to pass it soon," said Sena tor Lodge. “Democrats are not disposed to de lay It unduly,” said Senator Under wood, “but some of us wish to discuss it,” Senator Lodge replied that he was not inclined to be "unreasonable” In urging early passage of the resolu tion. Porter’s “Different” Plan. Meantime, In the House, Repre sentative Porter, chairman of the for eign affairs committee, has intro duced a peace resolution differing greatly from the one drawn by Sena tor Knox. Congressman Porter’s resolution is brief, and declares simply that "the state of war declared to exist Is here by declared at an end.” It also re serves to this country rights and privileges acquired under the armis tice and the treaty of Versailles. Representative Porter argued his resolution more nearly accords with the wishes of President Harding, who in his message asked that "such a resolution should do no more than thus declare the state of peace which all America craves.”. Congressman Porter said It was perhaps unwise to repeat the declara tions of war, as the Knox resolution does, because this “might be con strued as a disavowal of the war.” “Leave President Free.” “The resolutions recognize that the constitution vests in the president the (Occlusive right to make treaties sub ject to ratification by the Senate and therefore they do not fix any of the terms or conditions of the treaties with our late enemies, but leave the - president free and untrammeled," said Representative Porter. The United News Is able to state It is the intention of republican lead ers in the House to be guided by the will of the upper chamber, In spite of the difference of opinion that has been developed. REPORT TODAY OR TOMORROW Washington, April 26— After a brief executive session Monday aft ernoon the Senate finance committee postponed until Tuesday further hearings on the emergency tariff bill.

Elimination of the foreign ox change section of the emergency tar iff bill has been determined upon by members of the Senate committee, according to sortie of its members, and when the bill is reported to the Senato either Tuesday or Wednes day, it will be little more than the farmers’ emergency tariff measure which President Wilson vetoed.

PEOPLE’S LEAGUE .. Wilson, Pershing and Edison Regret They Can’t Attend Meeting at Which Miss Mar bury Raps Reformers. New York, April 26.—What prom ised to be the mildest of manifesta tions in favor of personal liberty was galvanized into life here Monday night by Elizabeth Marbury, famous woman politician and author, and ended in uproarous endorsement of a movement to organize an American people's league to bet the blue laws and bring back beer and wine. The male element was in charge when the speaking began, after a ban quet in the Commodore at which numerous notables were, gathered to protest against the Lords' day alli ance, the reform bureau and the anti tobacco campaign of the W. C. T. U. Conservatism at First. An atmosphere of apparently pre arranged conservatism reigned.

Not rude whisky, he hastily explain ed, but light wines and beers. He thought it was a fine thing that pro hibition had come to stay so far as saloons were concerned. All he wanted was a light wine and beer amendment. The next speaker. Judge Reuben L. Haskell, of Brooklyn, went a little further, but not much further. Here's Miss Marbury’s Speech. In the midst of this gentle advocacy of diluted personal liberty, arose Miss Marbury in her might and Indigna tion. “Why mince words," cried she. “A lot of milk feds have robbed us of liberty. Take devastated Europe, devastated France—I want to tell you that If we let them go on America will be worse devastated than Europe for no self respecting human being will want to stay here. “They began this business when we went into war. Was there anything the matter of our 2,000,000 men who went over there? Those men had not been interfered with by the semi official conference. They took a drink—of anything—when they want ed it. "I'm proud of our men as they were then. I'm satisfied witli them as they were, and as they have been making history for us ever since the revolu tion. “Now comes these reformers and tell us that our men have been all wrong. “U. 8. Stands as Joke.” “For God's sake don't lets allow them to put over their antediluvian prejudices. Let's talk less and do more. They say the women are with their movement. They try hard to pass the buck to us. Some women have more sense. And for my part I won’t talk it. "As the result of the activities of these reformers America stands to day a joke in the eyes of the world. We must not let them put these new things over on us.” Miss Marbury’s remarks were greeted with shouts of applause. From that moment the meeting took on new life. Gov. Edward I. Ed wards, of New Jersey, and a number of other speakers aroused the meeting to further enthusiasm and resolutions were unanimously passed committing those present to the policy of mo bilizing the people into an “Ameri can peoples’ league,” whose slogan should be personal liberty. Gofopers, Wadsworth Endorse It. A telegram was read from Samuel Gampers endorsing the object of the meeting and regretting his absence. Similar messages were read from United States Senators Wadsworth, Shortbrldge and Frelinghuysen and from David Belasco. Noncommittal regrets were sent by Woodrow Wilson, Thomas A.
