Now Confronts This Nation PARTY LINES ARE DIVIDED Maw ' Tr Governmental Authority Snail Be Injected In Watlon'i Busl mi Is Stain Question at Issue. Washington. May 13. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF TirE JOURNAL) Two schools of thought with reference to the conduct of the war are develop in along fallrly well defined lines In f congress and are reflected In all the discussions now going forward over war legislation. The opposing ideas do not travel along party lines, nor along any pre viously recognised divisions. The dif ferences may be said to be tempera mental, as well as fundamental, and yet at times they almost converge to common expression. Two Divergent Views. One view, which most of the time has prevailed, is that the emergency of war is so great, and the results of witrTBoldlng the widest powers carry such possibilities of disaster, thnt there should be no hesitation in over running -the old ttme barriers which America has erected In Jealous regard for the liberties of the people. The other view Is that the situation of - America has not been x changed by entering the war as to Justify the eudden projection of governmental au thority Into the multifold paths of business life and domes tio concern leading the people to needless resent ment of measures that cannot be de fended as military necessities. Debate Beveals Differences. These opposing views, founded in ; different states of mind, enter into the -! debate on all measures such as the censorship of the press; the limitation of exports, the restriction of trans portation, the regulation of food pro duction and distribution, and the ex tension of the right of search, i There Is also involved the delega- tion of Vast power .of discretion to the president, which it is realized the president personally can give only slight attention. He must rely upon subordinates, and these subordinates are often far down the line, for mem bers of the cabinet are almost as much overworked as the president. They have to pass' most of the work on to their bureau chiefs. . President Given Wlde Power. Few presidents have enjoyed a wider 'degree of confidence in such a situs -' tion than President Wilson. He has deemed it necessary to the prosecution of the war ' to ask for powers that would have been refused as a mattei of course a few months ago. Manv of these thing are now granted as matters of course, while others pro- voKe conflict or opinion. ....Take the question of embargo. Be fore the United States entered th war it was favored by .many who thought-) :Jt;woul.d hflp to keep the country out i of war, as well as by others who be' lleved its Influence would a&Ktet a' particular group of belligerents. '; Embargo tm War Measure. .Now it comes forward as a war measure. It was presented to con gress in the form of what may be called a selective embargo. The presl- , dent desires to use it so as to help the allies of this country, and to weaken Its enemies. Th bill prepared by Attorney General Gregory proposed to give blanket authority to the presi dent to lay an embargo as he thought best, whereby limitations or prohib'- y Hons might be put upon certain kind.i of exports, or upon those' going to certain countries. - The senate would not take it in that k.form. It was amended to limit the power to suah embargoes as will do - teat -any effort .to carry American "goods into countries where they may Ote passed on to the enemy. The prevailing argument leading to Co THE CHOIR GIRLS i Scenic Musical Surprise. SANCHEZ Sensational Dancing Girl.

The practical effect is like ly to be about the came either way. For no one seriously believed that the president would use the authority given him foriany other purpose than to hit the country's enemies abroad. Regarding rood Segnlatloa. So also the conflict of opinion comes on food regulation and distribu tion. Will things go aihead at maxi mum speed if the power of fixing a maximum price, or of Issuing bread tickets is vested in the government' The necessity of using such power may never come. Some believe the authority should be given, ready for use If the day arrives. Others con tend that such measures create unrest, uncertainty, and will discourage enter prise and initiative, rather than stimu late the people toward, doing their best. Those who are going down the line In suppoi. of the administration's pro gram assert that the security of the country and complete readiness to meet any emergency require that noth ing be left unndone, even though the emergency may not now be apparent to the majority of the people. Country Wot Tet 'Aroused. They resent the " Imputation that they have ''gone oraxy" over the war. Rather, they say, the country is not yet aroused ta-. the enormity of the task ahead and W sacrifices that may be necessary. The other school of opinion holds that the least disturbance possible should be authorized, that there 'a ample time for sterner measures if the need appears, and assert that war hysteria is responsible for extremes of legislation. , These two currents of thought are meeting at many points. They tend to the formation of new dignments, which in the, end the country will be called upon to support or condemn in the light- of events that are yet to transpire. The administration will have at least the advantage of being able to say that it did not shrink from duty, and did not minimize the country's task. Leaders in the house hope to secure an adjournment of congress between June 1 and 15. They believe the work on war emergency measures can be sufficiently cleared up by that time to permit congress to adjourn unti. the regular session in December. .

For one thing, they are going to de bate the revenue bill at great length. They are going to prolong the debate on the so-called .food bill, and on sev eral other measures In the adminis tration program. But beyond all thai they nave In reserve the plan for a Joint congressional committee "on the conduct of the war." Congress Would Kave Voice. This idea originates In the conten tion that congress should establish an agency to keep In close touch with a'.I that is done as the war proceeds, par ticularly in regard to the purposes for which money appropriated Is ex pended. It also opens up the iuestlon a to how far such a committee should bye let In on executive secrets. Democratic leaders are inclined to frown upon .such a proposal as ' use less, and in some measure a' reflec tion upon President Wilson and his advisers. Their view is that congress must, in such times, entrust large powers to the administration, and that no committee of congress, however well lntentioned, could add anything to the strength of the nation la time ot war. Senator Weeks who offered the Joint committee plan in the senate, ha broadly Intimated that unless it is accepted steps will be taken to see that congress does not adjourn very soon. Others have given out like sug gestions. This question holds greater promise of partisan division and wrangling than anything else in sight. New York Socialists Say Kaiser Must Go New York, May 1J.

Ziegal Time Umit. folding that there was patent an attempt to muddle and confuse voters In' the rival proposed charter amend ments of Shepherd and Amldon. in the persisted adoption of the word "abol ish" in -connection with the commis sion form of city government, Presid lnr. Judge Kavanaugh Saturday left th dtv council an onnort unitv to cor. rect its 'former action and give a new title to the Am id on "snort charter.' . The -alternative, because of a time limit in publication of the proposed charter amendment, is that the Ami don amendment will be left off the ballot on election day. The -rival charter forces went Into court on the proceedings brought by George S. Shepherd against the mu nicipality. Its mayor and commission ers y , review the proceedings wnich gave to the Amldon charter a ballot .title similar in wording to the charter proposed . by Shepherd. Both titles, under the' action of the council, would have appeared on the ballot as a "charter- amendment abolishing commission forroof government.' The court, plainly speaking the opinion that these titles had all the semblance of a deliberate attempt to mislead the voters In their selective vote, delayed decision on a motion to ' quash the writ of review until Monday. At the same time permission was given for the advertisement of the bal lot title on Monday, so as to bring the publication within the prescribed pe riod of 20 days before election. It was also plainly understood that the de layed decision was primarily for the purpose of giving the city council the opportunity of giving to the Amldon charter amendment a revised ballot title. At the conclusion of yesterday's pro ceedings It appeared to be pretty well understood that the Amldon people will substitute the word "abrogate" for - abolish In referring to proposed action towards commission form of government, and this change will likely satisfy Shepherd charterers. To ac complish this it will be necessary for the city council to pass a new ordi nance readjusting the time of publica tion for proposed charter amendments. If this Is not done it Is likelyvthat the Amldon charter amendment will go bezore the voters in June. Californian Invents U-Boat Destroyer Xon T.

Members of the Kinton grange in Washington county at a- largely at tended meeting Saturday unanimously indorsed the 6,000,000 road bond bill. S.

Meeting in Lincoln High, However, Is Attend ed by Several Hundred. Portland people were so busy mak ir.g garden in their back yards Satur day evening that only a few took their agricultural implements dawn town to march in the "hoe parade." The effect of this was the calling off of the parade at the last moment. The Coast Artillery band was at Tenth and Salmon streets, the start ing point, and a group of Honor Guard Girls was ready to fall In Una Some men and women with hoes and rakes were waiting, too, but hardly enough to warrant the parade, ln the opinion of Mrs. Helen I.

The mass meeting at Lincoln high, however, was held according to sched ule and several hundred persons listened attentively to an Interesting program of speeches ln which they were advised to awaken to the serious ness of the situation. In his talk, William D. Wheelwright said the Pacific coast did not appre ciate that the nation was a participant in the mightiest struggle the world has ever known. Mr. Wheelwright re viewed the condition of the allies with pessimism. Mrs. Clara H.

She told of the work being done by the agricultural school to meet the emergency. Anne Shannon Monroe, who presided at the meeting, gave a short opening address, advising Portland people to participate ln the food drive, and Henry B.

Otto Wedemeyer and Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke gave a short musical program at the opening of the meeting. The gathering was an enthusiastic one.
