Yet these powers, which have help ed the insurgents, pointed to what they contend are the unclarified posi tions of other nations, presumably Russia and France, whose volunteers Congress Wondering What Path Roosevelt Will Take Leaves Representatives Guessing as to What Means He Will Employ To Force L iberal Interpretation of Constitution by the U.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Jan. 7. —It is a corking good joke on the all-powerful Demo crats that they permitted three Re publican senators to wangle themsel ves, as the English say, into the prin cipal spokesmanship for neutrality ac tion on Capitol Hill.
