ROW OVER SHANTUNG

SENATE ADOPTS BORAH RESOLUTION WITHOUT RECORD VOTE. Senator Colt, Republican, of Rhode Island, Indorsee the Covenant of Nations. Washington, July 18.—The Borah resolution calling upon the president to furnish the senate with a copy of a written protest against the Shantung settlement which Secretary Lansing, General Bliss and Henry White, as three of the American peace commissioners, were said to have signed, was adopted by the senate without a record vote or any discussion. President Wilson began conferences at the White House with republican senators on the league of nations and the peace treaty. His first caller was Senator McCumber of North Dakota. Two other senators, Colt of Rhode Island and Nelson of Minnesota, called at the White House during the afternoon. Preliminary reading of the treaty by the foreign relations committee has proceeded slowly and it is not expected that the entire document can be gon«U|Mfer before the end of the week. Qk The league of nations is inseparable from the peace treaty, “because the treaty cannot- be enforced except through the league,” which Is “absolutely necessary to secure the present nnd maintain the future peace of the world,” declared Senator Colt, republican, of Rhode Island, in an address in the senate.
