"a matter of obligation' to keep Its
trade open to any belligerent that can
profit by such trade and commerce, the
bill would mean that the president
would be vested with broadcast powers
in keeping American ports open and In
keeping American ships plying the
seas.
The bill was promulgated and
studied by the judiciary committee,
along with the 14 espionage bills,
which were passed in the senate today, j
With three others, the 1)111 Quoted.
while favorably reported to the Judi
ciary committee by a sub-committee,
has never been reported by tbe whole
committee to the senate.
Following the visit of Lansing and
Gregory today the committee an
nounced it would take action on the
bill Thursday.
Text of Keastixs Urged.
The bill urged by Lansing follows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress assem
bled, that it shall be lawful for the
president of tne united states ana ne
hereby empowerea. to employ tne
land and naval forces thereof, to de
tain any vessel, orivate or public, for
eign or domestic In order to enforce
omtuiance witn or to prevent tne vio
lation of, tne obligations or the united
States under tne law or nations; ma
rt shall be lawful, and he is hereby
further empowered to employ such
forces to enrorce any or all otner 0011-
gatlons Imposed upon the United
States by the law or nations, ty trea
ties or conventions to which the United
States Is a party, or by the statutes
of the United States."
Within loss than 30 minutes after
the 14 espionage bills were acted on
and the one quoted above did not get
through. Secretary of State Lansing
and Attorney General Gregory hurried
to the capltol and went immediately
before the Judiciary committee.

TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
Opponents of the omnibus rivers and

have enough votes to kill it off and
to out through In its place a suDsti
tute for a lump sum appropriation of
$26,000,000 to be expended under the
direction of the army engineers,
The effect of this movement If suc
cessful, would be to eliminate all
specific appropriations for particular
projects and leave the money to be
expended wholly in the discretion of
the engineers. It would cut approxi

that it does not absorb Into the system,

valuable where Irritation Is present.
That this oil Is purely mechanical in
