CONGRESS GETS READY
FOR GERMAN SCRAP
Washington, April 1. Congress
started today to make war with Ger
many a success. Foreign affairs
committee of the hoiiM and senate
met this forenoon to consider ths
"war resolution." (' '
Other committee tentatively con
sidered n'hat ihall be done with the
appropriations, raising uieo, provid
ing mean of prosecuting the war
with vigor, checking Oermaa rsplon
age and Intrigue within thla nation
and of censoring news of the strug
gle that thla nation's enemy way not
tie Informed In advance of United
State' moves. '
Congress may debate considerably
some phases of President Wilson's
recommendations, But It will be a
congress united on the central thime
that war la here and that It must
be waged to the Wt man and the
last dollar la order 'that democracy
shall not perish from Ua earth.
The matter of extending credit to
the allies will probably cause , ex
,enlv discussion. Congress receiv
ed that suggestion last night with
only lukewarm applause. But If the
loan . Is not charity, then the con
' gresa will doubtless approve It.
The feature that shows the great
est sign of temporary trouble Is the
matter of raising revenue. President
Wilson urged that the nation, Insofar
as possible, pay for It flow, In the
present generation. . ..
The fact that the republican com
mittee assignments were still await
ed, made It Impracticable to proceed
with committee work qd finance and
other vital matters.
Hut the minority proposes to make
its choices todsy snd from now on
there will be no delay in furnishing
the "sinews of war."
Anticipating that the republicans
would make the ssme assignments as
last aesslon of the foreign committee,
Chairman Flood of the house com
mittee, called that body to moet at
10 a. m. He proppsed to discuss the
war resolution fully, urge a favorj
able report hastily and get it.
As matter stand, the resolution
may come iback to the house for con
sideration by night, though Flood
said It might be Wednesday before
the house placed Ha approval upon
, the resolution and get the war really
under way.
, As for financial matters, congress
will heed the advice of the chief
executive, though It may go through
some brief verbal gymnastic before
passing the revenue bills. Moreover,
congress will follow the president's
Liitle
and
k
Xo man would expect to hire a clerk for a day, then lay him off a
mouth and'lilre lilm again for a day, ,
Htlll, that' the way many merchants hire Advertisement. .', ' , ,
They exiect their advertising to work one or two or three" dwys
month aim sell more gixxls than all of the people in the store put
together.' ' . ' .t .
There are some who keep tlielr Advertising working week In and
week oiitr calling at thousands of homes often enough to get nc.
qualitted with people, and tofculld a reiuitatlon for the store.
By keeping everlastingly at It a very little Advertisement. . will
eventually do more work than the 11 Ig Ad that works a day and lays
off a month,
lilttle Ad and lllg Ad working together make a team that's
beat for selling good. v '
lead In tbt matter of other vital pro
posals concerning prosecution of the
struggle. ,
On tha whole the spirit of congress
Is unanimously behind the president.
What ha ask will he granted, lead
er say,
, In any event, tha peace advocates
are expected to offer little objection.
A canvass of congress today show
ed that It approved President Wil
low's speech and his recommenda
tion. "The best speech lie ever msde,"
was the most frequent characteriza
tion. ;'
In view of that hearty endorse
ment from republicans and demo
crats, there will be no question about
the big issues.- The president will
I get what he want and congress .will
see to It tint the war la "pushed to
tori on the Oerman empire to terms
and end tha war." '
UN WAR MESSAGE
New York, April 3. FrQtn east,
west, north and south, newspapers
are today practically unanlmoua In
endorsing the war message.
The New York Bun, perhaps to
bitterest critic the administration
has known, finds In "the voice of the
aatlon" and say that for "the firm
ness, resolution and self-respect of
It much of the previous indecision
conld be forgiven.".
The expression of "President Wil
son has voiced the unanlmoi'i w'lt of
the American people" recurred again
and again in editorials in s'lvhil; al
tered form. Soma were; .
"Tha United States rallies to the
ca1!!:" "the right-thinking people are
with the president to a man:" "the
words of tha president ring true to
every test:" "it la for each of us
now to manfully play his part in the
great cause to which our country has
been committed."
'Many of the papers expressed com
plete confidence that congreas will
at once respond to the wishes of tlj
president. . . .. :
The Ban Francisco Chronicle said:
"Tha nation Is united and will be
found solidly behind the president.
There remains but one course for
any loyal American to take and that
la to conquer a peace that wlll.be
lasting."
Detroit Free Press. "Tha presi
dent's recommendations are to a
largo degree fundamental. They call
for a war of defense and offense, for
a fight to the finish."
Detroit News "We are In fur war
to the bitter end, and It la 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 Wood row Wilson said
a little while ago: 'America asks
nothing for herself that she does not
ask for humanity. ' "
Chicago Herald. "His (Wilson's)
Is the most momentous message of
our generation. Its consequences w!
cannot venture to predict. But na
tional honor must ibe maintained at
any costand the democracies of the
world have yet to claim the aid and
sympathy of the land dedicated to
