Washington, April 9.-The Republi can joint resolution declaring the state of war with Germany at an bnd and repealing most of the wartime legisla tion was adopted today by the house. It now goes to the senate. The vote on the ipassage. of the 'peace resolution was 242 to 150, present 2. Twenty-two (Democrats joined with the Republi can majority in supporting the resolu tion and two Republicans voted against its adoption.

Republicans opposing it were: Fuller, MassaohusettW, and Kelley, Michigan. Before adopting the res6lution, the house voted down a motion by Repre sentative Flood of Virginia, the rank ing -Democrat of the foreign affairs committee, to send the resolution back to that committee, with instructions to repOrt out a substitute ropealing all wartime acts. The vote on that/n"Io ion 'was 171 for and 222 against.' On th! )emocratic substitute, offer ed as a motion to recommit, the only vote other than that on the adoption of the resolution permitted under the rule, three Democrats lined up with the Republicans, while two 'Republi cans joined the minority. The greater break in the Democratic ranks caine on the final vote. Chairman 'Porter of the foreign af fairs committee claimed after the roll= call that twenty more votes would carry the resolution over a presidential veto. ')emocratic menber's, however, said a vote on that question would see party alignment virtually intact. The vote ended a two-day bittle of -words in the house. The debate began at 11 o'clock yes terdhy morning and occupied all of the time of the i'ublic for more than twelve hours, It was marked through ,out by sharp Partisanshi~p except for those on Pcc0 side who broke away from pa.rty lines to join the o)posi tion. Former Sp[eaker Csark, Iiepresenta *tive Kit(hin of Noith Carolina and Flood of Virginia took a leading part in the light on the Democratic side, 'while Representative .\londell, the Re pulfiican leader, who closed the de bate, re-oio d a -warm greeting fiom hf's party colleagues.

War Work Praised. - Washington, April 7.-'restif3ing to day at his own request before the sen fte committee investigating the Sims Daniels row, Adinirad Rodman, con mander in chief of the Pacific fleet, took direct issue with Admiral Sims' charges and criticisms. Admiral Rodman denied categorical ly the charge that the navy entered the war without plans or policies; that It was unprepared to fight; or that it was a mistake to attemipt to direct naval operations from Washington. The admiral saidl he appeared from a sense of diuty and "to defen( the good name of the navy" the work of which in the war, he praised. Admiral Rodinan declared that nev er in his more than -10 years of ser vice had the fleet been in a better state of lreparedness than in the spring of 1917. Some types of vessels were lacking, he conceded, notably battle cruisers and scout cruisers, but generally speaking the navy "was ready to fight." MVithout any attempt to avoid per sonalities, Admiral Rodman character lzed as very indiscreet the Sims' letter to Secretary .Daniels which brought about the ipresent investigation and de clarcd that Sims committed a breach of confidence In making pmblic "an In timate and confidential conversation which should have been held sacred." le was referring to Sims' statement that Admiral Benson had told him just before leaving for London "not to let the British _*ull the wool over your eyes." The charge that the navy entered the war without plans or well defined poll cles was not correct, Admiral Rodman testified, adding that experience on the general board had given him oppor tunity to help prepare such plans an ticilpating the ':robable advent of the United States into the war. These plans wece later modified t6 meet ex isting conditions, he said. Admiral Rodman asserted that the navy had many sources of information andl rec ommendations abroad other than Sims, wvitness; said, im plied the navy had ale. 1'iyed the war hy not accepting all of his reconmiendat ions. The charge that the navy dlepart meat should Rnot have at temipted to condluct operatilons from a ploint 3i,000 miles from the wvar zone, was denied by3 Admniral R~odmlan. who declared that the ''war 'mai hnt fought anal won ini London'' and that the only place for the direction and admiinistration of the@ navy's policy was in Washington. "Tio have moved our whole admin istration to London, even though 3,000 miles separatedl it from the scene of hostilities, would have been a serious blunder,'' he said. The adlmirai add ed that he thought there had been an evident effort to dliscredit the navy, anal his impression was that Adlmiral Sims sought to give the impression that lhe had most of the resp~onsibiility for running the wvar andl that the navy department- "fell dowvn on the job)" be cause it did( not followv his advice.
