Washington, Jan, 27.-An outburst of denunciation against shipment of American made war munitions to Eu ropean belligerents stirred Hie Senate to-day, reflecting a revival of senti ment which may force a vote upon embargo resolutions that have boen pending in committee for several months. A dozen Senators, Demo crats as well as Republicans, assailed the munitions traille, while those who have sided with the administration in its stand that an embargo would vio late international law wore for thc most part silent. A petition for tm embargo having more than 1,ooo,ooo signatures pre cipitated tho debate. A test vote at one time ssomed inevitable, but it was averted after much parliamen tary manoeuvring hy reference of the petition to the foreign rola'.ions com mittee. Senator Kenyon ( Republican ) started tho discussion in presenting the petition which had boon sent to the Senate by tho Organization of American Women for h'riot Neut ral ity. Tho Iowa Senator characterized the salo of munitions abroad as a '.cold-blooded money-making propo sition," and derided the policy of praying for peace on Sundays and selling wea po ns of war on week days as rank hypvocrisy. An embargo was vigorously urged also by Senators Hitchcock, Clapp, Works, Ashurst, Dane, Martine and Dn follette. Other Senators who spoke in favor of au embargo, but thought the question of whether it might he broach of neutral I ly must he thoughtfully considered by tho for eign relations committee were Sena tors (Marko of Arkansas, Clark of Wyoming, Snioot and Townsend. Senator Stone, chairman of tho for eign reiit ions <'ointnitt.ee, before which the resolutions are pending, said he had opinions on tho merits of the Issue, but thought this was not the time to present them. Senator Robinson was the only Senator who expressed himself as actually opposed to an embargo. From the character of the debate lt was apparent that discussion of the question was certain to crop out again in the near future. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, said the Senate's patience was hoing sorely tried hy inaction on the part of the foreign relations com mittee.
