FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS SENT Peace at Any Price Advocates Say They Will Keep Up Efforts to Avert War, Even if Dec laration Is Made. WASHINGTON. April 1. Pacifists, taiarshaled by the Emergency Peace Federation, will Invade Washington to morrow for the purpose of attempting to dissuade Congress from taking any action that would lead to open hostili ties between the United States and Germany Leaders of the movement aJready here said tonight that at least 6000 persons would visit them. At the same time a host of "pilgrims f patriotism," headed by a citizens committee, will arrive from New York for the expressed purpose of counter acting the activities of the pacifists and the "peace at any price" propa ganda. Special trains are expected to bring thousands of them from other cities. Both Faction to Storm Hill. Both factions, according to their plans tonight, will storm Capitol Hill and endeavor to present their views to (senators and Representatives. Members of Congress today bad an Intimation of what is in store for them when they received hundreds of tele grams, some demanding that peace be not disturbed and others insisting that the honor of the country be maintained by definite action. The White House also was literally flooded with thou sands of messages from both sides. Parades Are Forbidden. The police have forbidden parades by ither faction and the delegations will be obliged to proceed to the Capitol from their respective headquarters as individual pedestrians. Miss Elizabeth Freeman, suffragist leader, in charge of the office of the Emergency Peace Federation headquar ters here, said tonight that as fast as the delegations of pacifists arrived they would be told who to see at the Capi tol and will be expected to find the objects of their visit wherever they jnight be, except, of course, upon the floors of the Senate and House. Mass Meeting Likely. Miss Freeman and other pacifist lead ers declared emphatically that even If Congress should declare that a state of war exists they would not abandon their efforts in behalf of peace. Both the peace champions and the anti pacifists probably will hold mass meet ings. AVashington itself is In the grip of a. wave of patriotism, flags flying and buildings decorated. Many representatives of the patriotic organizations today voiced their senti ments in public statements. Among them was a statement signed by Mrs. William Cumming Story, president-general of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, which urged "every member of this body and ell others who love our country to act at once, telegraph their Senators and Representatives, urging them to stand for patriotism and preparedness. BATTALION TO MOVE TODAY (Continued From First Page.) sent to service on the Atlantic Coast as soon as war was declared. The Third Oregon boys were busy at Vancouver yesterday receiving visitors. The steady rain kept many people away, however. Better weather is needed badly to permit open air ma neuvers. There is no space in the bar racks to permit drills in company for mation. Small squads of "rookies" can be trained that way, however. Colonel May was in Portland yester day to undergo a physical examina tion required by reason of his eleva tion from the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to that of Colonel. This is considered a mere formality in the case of Colonel May. Master to Start Todax- Actual muster of the Third Oregon Into the Federal service will begin at Vancouver today. Colonel U. G. Alex ander, of the regular Army, is muster ing officer. This procedure is more or less of a formality, too, but it is required to give the Federal Govern ment a complete roster of every man in the service. The men are not re quired to take another oath. The oath that they took when the re-entered the service upon return from the Mexican border last Autumn applies to any service into which the Government may want to call them. A physical inspection is required, however, to protect the Government from possible improper pension claims in the future. Due to the precautionary measure adopted by Adjutant-Generaf White a few weeks ago. the regiment is com pletely equipped with uniforms, guns, ammunition and other accoutrements necessary to take the- field. Addi tional supplies are on the way from San Francisco and should be here some time this week. 8 SURVIVE I.11JLKEY PASTOR-BLACKSMITH AT PLEAS ANT HILL, REVERED BY, MANY.

Tt was reported at Vancouver yes terday, too. that the detachment of Coast Artillery troops now guarding the railroad bridges across the Wil lamette and Columbia rivers may be relieved today by a detail from the Third Oregon. As soon as war is declared and it Is confidently expected that it will be declared as soon as Congress can act ' it is expected that, the entire Coast Artillery will be called into service to guard the Oregon Coast.

The troop now is recruited to 85 men all thoroughly experienced. Under the new regulations the war strength of ttie organization will be 105 men and three officers. More than a score of men now in Portland have had previ ous experience with the troop and have expressed their intention pf rejoining their command if called out. Captain Cicero F.

For many years physicians have agreed that the vast majority of human ills were caused by accumulated waste In the Lower Intestine; that in our present way of living Nature could not remove all this waste without assist ance, no matter how regular we might be; and that the poison from this waste circulated through the blood pulled us away down below par and was respon sible for many diseases of a serious nature. During this time the "J. B. L. Cas ' cade" for Internal Bathing has, because of their, recommendation end those of its users, been steadily growing in lavor. Recently, however, the startling news which has been covering this country that great surgeons and specialists have been operating on the Lower In testine for the most chronic and se rious diseases has caused Americans to become thoroughly awake to the im portance of keeping this Lower Intes tine free from all polronous waste mat ter, and over 500,000 fcre now using In ternal tsatns. If you try the "J. B. L. Cascade" you will find yourself always bright, con f ldent and capable the poisonous waste makes us bilious, blue, dull and nerv ous.

FOUR REPUBLICANS ARE ILL Mann's Strength Placed at 208 and Speaker's at 213 or 214, With Chances Favoring Ills Re-, election Soon After. WASHINGTON, April 1. Re-election of Champ Clark as speaker of the House tomorrow when the extraordi nary session begins, seemed assured to night, and the prospect of complete Democratic organization was admitted to be strong even by the Republicans. Illness and bolting among ttepuo- llcans and proposed organization by Democrats favorable to independents are' expected to prove vital factors In the fight. Four Republicans 111. Four Republicans. Representatives Helgesen, of North Dakota; Capstick, of New Jersey: Cooper, of West Vir ginia, and Melker, -of Missouri, are 111 and probably will not be present. ' Two Republicans. Representatives Gardner, of Massachusetts, and Grey, of New Jersey, have said they will not vote for Representative Mann, the Re publican nominee for Speaker, on the first ballot. Democrats hope they will support Clark. Representative Dallin ger, of Massachusetts, also, may not vote for Mann. Hence, at the best, it Is estimated that the Republicans cannot poll more than 20S of their 214 votes for Mann on the first roll' call, even if their entire membership is present. Democrats in sist they will have at least 213. if not 214 of their own members present to vote for Clark, and they are counting on enough independents to give the 218 necessary for election. Independents May Be Favored. There were persistent rumors today that the Democrats weie planning choice committee assignments for lnde pendents who Joined them in the or' sranization fight. It was said, too, that New York Democrats, who at times have shown a tendency to bolt and who, It was feared, might stand with Repre sentative Gallivan, of Massachusetts, in opposition to the general programme. also would be well taken care or. Chairmen who return to Congress are to be retained at the heads of commit tees. If the Democrats control, and, ex cept in rare instances, other advance ments will be made under the seniority rule. Democrats will lose at least two members on every large committee, ex cept Ways and Means and Rules, in the incoming Congress, the membership of the majority being reduced two by the increased representation of House membership. The majority member ships of Rules and Ways and Means by agreement will remain unchanged in number. Gallivan Stands Pat. Representative Gallivan declined to night to add anything to his former statements about his opposition to or ganization plans. He merely said he would vote against the major portion of the chairmanships going to Southern members and he thought from mes sages he had been receiving that sev eral other Democrats would vote as he did. To all appearances the so-called Inde pendent organization has dissolved. Representative Randall, of California, who has been seeking to keep life in It, said tonight he had seen no one to day, except Representative Fuller, inde pendent, of Massachusetts, who already has said he would cast his first vote for Representative Lenroot, of Wiscon sin, for Speaker. Representatives Mar tin, London and Schall. the other Inde pendents, made no comment on the situation. ' TAXPAYERS HOLD ELECTION Clarke County Club Names R. E. Gerrard President. VANCOUVER. Wash..
