U.S. Senate Votes World War at End

Wilson's Veto Thought Certain for Peace Move.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20. -- With few thrills and no hitch in the prearranged program, the Senate adopted, 43 to 38, the Republican resolution declaring the state of war with Germany and Austro-Hungary at an end.

The measure was in the form of a substitute for the peace resolution recently adopted by the House which dealt with Germany alone. The two proposals are expected to be adjusted in conference, the result endorsed by both houses and the final resolution sent to the President for signature.

That the President will veto it is a foregone conclusion, unchallenged by any speaker during debate in the House or Senate. It is uncertain when the final resolution will reach the White House, but Republican leaders anticipate no difficulty in putting thru a conference draft with little delay.

Predictions by leaders on both sides that the treaty of Versailles would remain in its present unratified position indefinitely were made during the debate.
