LA FOLLETTE BALKS WAR BILL
IN CONGRESS; 5,000,000 ARMY PLAN
Cuiiliiiiic,: from l'n ep One
Men, money and supplies will ue mobilized, as a result of these legislative
nets, to act upon the President's demand that "Germany be brought to terms."
Regular army and National Guard details will be used as Ilia nucleus for the
new army.
The National Guard in its entire .strength will be Federalized and will watch
the "enemy within our gates."
War, strenuous war, is afoot; the American nation, aroused at last, plans
to wage it to n successful conclusion. This is in response to the call made by the
President in his memorable address before the Sixty-fifth Congress last night.
The nation supports the President. Assurances from every section render
this unmistakable.
America joins battle in behalf of the people, even the German people.
Latin-America is apparently not greatly concerned and Mexico will be under
the eyes of this nation, as General Carrnnza has announced intention to join a
concert for world peace. America is wary of such moves.
PLANS LAID FOR BLOW
AT GERMAN AUTOCRACY
WASHINGTON. Apill 3.
President Wilson Is only awaiting Con
giesVs IniHiheinent of IiIn war epecrh before
Issuing a cull for ,r00,000 vuliinteeis The
call will be made soon after the two houses
place the stamp of their uppiovat on the
announcement that u slate of war exists
between the United States and Germany.
The President went to the golf links this
morning, lie played several round") in tlio
cool, bracing afr. and then returned to the
While Ilous? and immediately got in (oucli
with his department rhlcfs. Plans for the
closer co-operation of all depaitmtnta have
been completed.
Discussion was widespread In congres
sional and 0lllcl.1l circles over the possibility
of the creation of two nov r.ihlnct posts
a Secretary of Munitions and a Secretary
of Transportation.
All of the belligerent n.itlnns of I'uropo
have found difficulty ,n eftlolently directing
these two Important wnr-tlme departments
and proponents of the movement here are
urging that the matter be adjusted now
befoie hostilities actually begin
In Administration circles, however, there
Is a disposition to frown on the proposition
Just now It Is painted out that the War
Department so far has handled the situation
satisfactorily, apd the Council for National
Defense, composed of some of the beht
brains of the ujuntry was formed for the
very puipose of expediting such tilings for
national use.
IIL'Gi: WAlt PLANS
The Navy Department today announced
plans for spending ll8.OU0.Ouo, now avail
able, for Improving navy yards throughout
the country, ns follows:
Portsmouth, N. II , facilities for
building ten submarines at one time
Philadelphia, two new w.is laigu
enough for battle culsers and battle
ships, and new shops; total; about
$0,000,000.
Norfolk, one new wa laice enough
for battle cruisers and battleships, new
shops; total. $5, 000, 000.
I'uget Sound, now shops and one new
wajs, size not determined.
Mare Island, additional shop facili
ties. New Yolk, one new ways and addi
tional shops, total, about $3,O0u,000.
The navy may be ralcd to 130,000 men,
as against a present authorized strength
of 87,000. Th-ee million to 5,000.000 men
will probablj bt used for America's
armies. At least one Cabinet member
wants 3,000,000 us a minimum; army men
recommend up to 5,000.000.
The process will be to get them In In
crements groups of DOO.OOO as rapidly as
thoy can be officered
Chairman Chamberlain, of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, says the Incre
ments can be obtained at an annual expense
of $150,000,000 each: the Cenernl .Staff,
however, estimates a far higher amount.

War Secretaiy Biker and the advisory

These three vital projects were carried
Into the Defense Council's session today by
Samuel Oompers, head of the committee on
labor. They were decided on as the moat
immediate projects to be disposed of at a
meeting of the labor committee attended by
Secretary of Labor Wilson. Director Clifford,

bers of the council's advisory committee,
Bernard M, Barucli. ot the National
Council of Defense, reported to Secretary
of the Navy Daniels today on conferences
he has held with the American Iron and
Steel Institute of New York looking to'
alms to supply the nation with steel for
ships on the basis of average price for
the last ten years. It la understood (he

at a slmip Iors, as the average prlre for
ten years was about two cents per pound,
whereas the present cost is between six aim
seven cents.
AltMS SL"PPUi:.S
About 200,000 tons of structural steel and
12,000 tons of atmoi plate are needed for
vvoik already begun for the navy or about
to begin. One steel man said that the
Immediate needs or the Government will
command from 10 to 20 per cent of the
eniiro production of the country.
There will be, however, no shortage of
munitions when the United .States foites
actually take the field against Germany.
This was insured today when the Muni
tions Boaid. composed or e-.perts In the
manufacture of supplies In that line, met
here. They conferred with the chiefs of
the army, and the nav, and the general
plans for 'speeding up tne manufacture of
arms and munitions to meet the existing
deficiency were completed.
The plans as completed are, of course,
withheld from the public, but it was Btated
they will provide for systematizing of effort
on n scale never before attempted by any
nation In the woild. Everything that the
army and navy needs will he rauldly forth
coming. It was stated.
It was admitted olllclally today that every
dcta'l of this Government's part In the war
must be considered on the thrco-year basis;
that a "serious struggle Is nhead ;" that
the health and Individual effort of the na
tion must be thcrrfoie conserved and
directed with this fact In view; that labor's
part will be vast In a war that lias de
manded In a few months the samo amount
of labor product'on that former wars have
required In a year.
PAY-BY-TAX PUAN
The President's suggestion that the ex
penses of American participation in the
world war bo met by tnxation has met with
instant opposition among Republican lead
ers. Representative Maun, Republican leader,
let It be known that ho did not think the
pioposltlon pound or practicable. Other
leaders share Jin tin's view that such a
course would be contraty to all the prece
dents of meeting extraordlnaiy expenses in
the past. Mr, Mann Is of tlu, opinion that
an enormous loan must be immediately con
tracted. He points out that the bonds of
the Civil War petlod are still unpaid, us
are those issued during the .Spanish-Ameil-can
War and ,for the construction of the
Panama Canal.
Republican leadeis take the view that
no scheme of taxation can be put Into
effect which will raise money immediately,
and that therefore a bond Issue will have
to be resorted to The most that can be
expected from taxation, ut least in the
eaily stages of the war, they say. Is to
meet tho Interest payments on the bonds.
Mr. Vann sees trouble ahead If the Demo
crnts increase Income taxes along lines
which it has been suggested that they fa
vor. For Instance, a suggestion has been
made that Income taxes f jr the war period
bo Increased by the assessment of all of
an individual income over $100,000 a year.
The question of revenue raising is still,
of course. In the embryonic stage ot dls
(union. It will occupy many days and
weeks in the Houte Ways and Means
Committee when that body finally is formed.
$6,000,000 FOR LUACJUU 1SLANP
Announcement was made three months
ago at the Navy Department that the next
division of funds for Improving navy yards
would contain provision for the construc
tion of the new shlpways at the Philadel
phia yard. This was the outcome of agita
tion, extending over three years, in behalf
of appropriations for a new drydock 1700
feet long and connecting the Delaware
River with the reserve naval basin, or Back
Channel, and shlpways big enough to per
mit the building of first-class battleships.
Provision for the $6,000,000 which will
be spent here was made In the naval ap
propriation bill after Secretary Daniels's
announcement In December. Up to the
present the shlpways at the navy yard
have not been large enough to accommo
date the construction of anything bigger
than scout cruisers and transports. One
hospital ship, the Henderson, has alreudy
been launched from the smaller ways. With
the completion ot the now shlpwajs the
pavy yard here will be In a position second
to none In the United States, with respect
to ability to build the most advanced type
of heavy battleships.

HACK OF PRESIDENT
Notwithstanding present obstacles the
war Congress will do President Wilson's
bidding and give him whatever he wishes
for fighting Germany.
Congiesi leaders assuied this todav The
war lesolution turned over to Wilson the
fullest military power of the United States
Hid pledged all the other resources of the
nation.
The Republican House members, especial
y Minority Leader Mann, talked of balk
ing on having a "pay-as-you-go war" the
war paid for chiefly by this generation.
Hut the Democratic majority said that
Idea, voiced by Wilson, would be heeded.

President Wilson's suggestion for tend.

era said today: , ,
"The President can have what he wants.
We will pass the credit for the Allies anil
we will see to It that there is sufficient
money to make this war a success '
As for raising an army on the principle
of "universal liability to service the Con
gress undoubtedly will put It Into effect.
"That Is almost a foregone conclusion,
said the leader, "after last night's demon
stration in favor of It when the President
spoke."
RIPPER FOR SCHOOL
BOARD HERE IN BILL
Elective Body of Five Members
Provided in Beyer
Resolution
A trill to I li out the piesent Board of
Ediiiatlou In liilladelphla and to substitute
for It an elective board of five members was
Intioduced In the Legislature at Harris
hutg today by Hcpresentative Frederick
Hejer, of Philadelphia.
The measuie, while It Is aimed at the
School Iloaid In Philadelphia, would also
lip out the School Hoard in Pittsburgh,
which conies undei the same law as the
Philadelphia boaid
The board of Judges would appoint two
directors to seive until the III si Monday In
December next, two who would serve until
the (list Monday In December, 1919. and
one director whose turn would continue
until the first Monday In December, 1921,
At the municipal election next fall two
dltectors would be elected, two more would
be elected at the municipal election In 1919
and the firth at the fall election in 1921.
They would each serve for sK jcars Tho
hill does not provide that they shall be
paid .
The piesent law was enacted In till and
he Hoard of Education as now constituted
Is composed of fifteen dlieclors. who were
appointed by the Hoard or Judges, as fol
lows Five for two .veais. five for four years
and five for six eai.
Tlie attitude- ,.: the Iloaid of Education
on the pioposed change In the method of
selecting Its members is not understood to
be generally antagonistic. Agitation to
put the board Into the elective category
has been under wa.v for neaily a jear.
During some of the disputes involving the
board a number of statements were made
that the board should be made lesponslble
to the city voters.
Alexander Simpson, one ot the board
members, said today li had heard tiiere
was Borne talk of making the board an
elective body, hut that he knew nothing of
the plans by which it may be done.
"1 do not know what other members of,
the boaid think," said Mr. Simpson, "be
cause I have not discussed the matter with
them ; but I am not opposed to making some
change In the method of selecting the board.
My Idea Is that the board members should
be appointed by the Superintendent of Pub
