Roosevelt as Kaiser’s agent sparks Senate clash
Senator Stone in Washington labeled former President Roosevelt the Kaiser’s most potent agent in America and the chief source of seditious war criticism. He accused Republican leaders of turning war politics to partisan ends and urged that the administration be discredited. Stone named Willcox and Penrose as witnesses and warned of a drive to take the government for party gain. The speech, prepared and the first major political address since U S entry, sparked the era’s bitter partisan debate.

Decree Dissolves Constituent Assembly in Russia
The central executive committee of the Congress of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates dissolves the constituent assembly, saying only the Workmen's and Soldiers' Councils can direct the revolution. It faults the rightist social revolutionists and warns that retaining the assembly would backslide toward bourgeois rule and end the socialist effort. The decree notes the January 15 opening of the assembly with a right-wing bias and declares the dissolution necessary to preserve the November revolution's gains.
