ADJOURNMENT TAKEN AFTER BRIEF DISCUSSION Floor Leader Mactin Insists That Resolution Must "Go Through" Before Anything Else Receives Considera tion; Would Ratify Motion. By Carl D. Groat. Washington, April 3. (IT. P.) The house adjoujcaed today after having passed without objection the $62,600, 'OVO general deficiency bill, which failed in the senate last session. The bill, making important appro priations for the army and navy, was passed practically without change from Its former phraseology. Washington, April 3. (U. P.) Pa cifism, in the person bf Senator La Follette one of the "willful L2," today effectually blocked action on the "war resolution" in congress until tomor row. Through a parliamentary maneuver : demanding the regular order ho halted senate action-on the resolution. Heated words followed. In which Sen ator Martin, floor leader, pointed out the "-tremendous consequences" behind the resolution, and La Follette retort ed, objecting to being "lectured." s ' Martin declared the resolution must go through before snythlng else, and In view of La Follette's demand for the, regular order of business, caused' an 'Adjournment until tomorrow. The house committee, expecting passage of the senate amended, war resolution today, had postponed action until tomorrow, expecting to ratify the senate motion.

It became definitely known today that President Wilson referred to specific spy cases that have occurred in the state, war and navy department build- Ing when, in Jala address, last night, he referred to knowledge of spy work by German agents, "indeed, before the war." It became known also that many of the most flagrant cases of espionage - were found among actual employes of the departments concerned. . Government officials have- been cau tloned not to discuss specifically any of the cases. They refused flatly to say what had been done to spies who were caught whether they were mere ly dismissed or had been Imprisoned under technical charges. , German Sailors And Guards Clash Baltimore.

Calls to Congratulate The President "Message Will Rank Among Fore most State Papers, of Which Wo Are Proud." Washington, April 3 (IT. P.)- Colo nel Theodore Roosevelt visited 'the White House today to pay his respects to the president and offer his services in the war, for which he desires to raise an army division. Before entering the White House, the colonel said informally: . "The president's message to, con gress will rank among the foremost state papers cf which Americans are proud.

New Tork, April 8. (U. P. Trom j Aiafcl., we, norm ana oouiii uewiwn i are today practically one in acclaiming the war message of President Wilson to congress as an utterance that will .find a tremendous response from every American. The New Tork Sun. perhaps he bit terest critic the administration has known, finds In It "the voice of 'the nation" and says that for "the firm ness, resolution and self-respect of It much of the previous indecision .could, be forgiven." The expression bf 'President Wilson has voiced the unanimous will of the American people," recurred again and again in editorials in slightly altered form. Some were: "IT, B. Bailies to the Can." "The United States rallies to the call. "The right thinking people of our United States of freedom are with the president to a man." "The words of th president ring true to every- test." "If Is for each of us now manfu'lv to play his part in the great cause to which our country has been commit ted." Many of the papers express complete confidence that congress will at once respond to the wishes of the presi dent. The Toronto, Ontario, Globe, eays: "The natural foe to liberty has now arrayed against him the entire Eng lish speaking world." . "nation Is United," San Francisco Chronicle (Republ ican): -The nation is united. Remiblicaiis and Demccrats in. congress will . be found solidly behind the. president. There remains but one course for any loyal American to take -and that is to conquer a peace that will be lasting." Detroit Free Press: "The Dresl- dent's recommendations are inclusive and to a large degree fundamental. They call for a . war of defense and offense, for a fight to the finish." - Detroit News: "We are in for war to the bitter end, and it is at its close' that we must stand forth. Let us so conduct ourselves that when the war ceases and a council of nations Is called to Bring about a settlement. we can say as Woodrow Wilson said a little while ago: 'America asks nothing for herself that she does not ask for humanity.' " . Kesiage Declared Momentous. Chicago Herald: "His . (the presi dent's) is the most momentous presi dential message of our generation. Its consequences .we cannot venture to predict. lBUt national honor must be maintained at any cost and the democracies of the world have yet to claim aid and sympathy of a land ded icated to , freedom and peace. What ever the ' consequences, they cannot equal "the catastrophe; of standing humbly aside while a war-mad mili tarism runs amuck and, violating alike the principles of law and hu manity, attempts to fasten its chains more firmly on lt own people, to Im pose its will by force upon the neu tral world and to perpetuate its power for evil to1 the latest generation." Amateur Wireless Stations Suspected Washlng'.on. April 3. (I N. S.)

Lieutenant - Commander John H. Blackburn, in charge of the navy re cruiting office, has found his office force and facilities taxed to the ut most to accommodate the overwhelm ing response to orders from the navy department to obtain 800 men by April 20. . Applicants Foarlng Zn. Twenty-one .were sworn in Monday, and about 22 additional meivwfeo could not be handled on account of the Tush. were listed and., instructea to return today; Today is expected' to see that umber exceeded, on account of the president's meaage, so that the 40 men a day required by - the Washington orders will be obtained. Lieutenant Commander Blackburn telephoned to Bremerton this morning, asking for three additional yeomen to help out in the handling of the appli cants. . Army recruits are pouring In at an unprecedented rate, according to Cap tain Huebscher, in charge of the Re cruiting station in the Worcester building. v April is expected to make as fine showing as March, which rounded up the record breaking figure of 245 re cruits. The marine corps station, in the Panama building, is bringing in an in creaslngly large number of applicants, who are signing up in a Douy. rorty Axe Beoeived. Over 40 men were taken In at the Oreeon National Guard recruiting sta tion on Fourth street Mbnday, and this morning Captain Hogan, was trying to accommodate all the applicants. Ten were secured this morning. The enlistments in the Oregon Naval Militia ' are - swamping the medical staff, and assistants have been called from the medical reserve, to help. out. J More than 30 enlisted Monday, and there Is every indication that fully 35 more wiir enlist today. Mobilization will mark the end of all naval mi litia enlistments. Washington has 103 men of. its Naval Militia mobilised at Bremerton and it is known that in case of war the big Ships on this- coast would require-1000 more men immedi ately. If regular navy men were or dered east, at least i 1400 fmore men would be needed.
