Delay by U.S. May Lose War, Says Williams He Hits Legislator? for Quibbling Over Mili? tary Measures Armageddon Here, He Tells Senate Liberty Gone if America Fails, He Replies to Stone Bureau! Washington. July 14. "Liberty and. democracy all over the world may be deprived of a place under the sun as the ultimate result of this struggle be? cause we did not have a vision long enough and did not get into it in time," declared John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, in the Senate to-day.

Senator Williams wa? replying to a of Senator Stone, chairman of tb? Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Stone had declared that the I'nited States could have ended the war by taking the right steps prior to its own entry into the struggle. This was char? acterized by Mr. Williams as an "iri? descent dream." Senator Williams was at no pains to conceal his contempt for the policy of' delay, and, though his words with re? gard to the President were kindly, there was a sting in them.

There was much discussion among Senators af? terward, as the President is known to have a high regard for Mr. Williams'? opinion, having on several occasions visited the Mississippi Senator on the eve of important diplomatic steps. Senator Williams's Speech Senator Williams said: "In so far as a part of what the Sena tor from Missouri has just said is clarion call to duty to stiffen our sinews and summon up our courage to see this thing through to a successful issue, 1 agree with him most emphat'- cally, but there is a part of what he said which is an iridescent dream, and I cannot permit it to pass without en? tering my protest. "There never was a month or a weeK or ar, hour a minute when this coun- try could have suggested terms for a just and lasting peace which would not have been scorned at the Court ot Ber? lin by the Kaiser and his military and bureaucratic entourage. That sort of a thing is a mere dream of what might have been, a picture of what cannot be not even r.ow, much less then.

We could not lay anything that would not be kicked court at Fierlin. Why? that crowd had a perfect contempt for the American government and fcr the American people, the contempt that the fkilled and prepared boxer has for a heavy, beefy fellow who cannot assert That was their view of us. "That is their view of us yet, and that will remain their view of us until upon the plains of France or upon the high seas we indicate that there is romething else to us. It was the con? tempt that a prepared athlete has in a eaaao, even unjust, for an antagonist, muscles are flabby, whose prep? aration has been nothing, and whose antagonism can, in the opinion of the athlete, be ignored.

The President and the Administration did do every? thing that human intellect could con reive for the purpose, if possible, of brtagiag an end to the war. We did everything that we had a right to do. The President came to this chamber tr.d made that speech which was critl tbroad here in this chamber as being -a 'peace at any price' speech, the celebrated speech in which he said we must have peace without leap. "He travelled the whole gamut up and down.

"There are hundreds of things that are thoroughly constitutional in time of war in carrying out the behest of the Constitution to support an army and navy and to carry on war, which would be not only absurd but really uncon? stitutional in times of peace, for the: simple reason that in times of war the axereiae of the power is proper and neceesary in order to accomplish a con-; end, which is to support armies and navies and carry on the war.
