UNITED STATES AT
WAR WITH GERM AY
(Continued From Page One)
principle of universal liability to service—the first increment of
which is to be 500,0 CX) men.
The Council of National Defense and its advisory commission
in joint session continued the work of mobilization of the national
resources to "bring the government of the German empire to terms
and end the war," as the President expressed it.
The War Department and the army general staff was ready to
present to Congress its plans for raising an iriny just as soon as the
legislative body asks for it.
Work in Congress on the resolution"to formally declare a state
of war existing went rapidly forward. The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee approved the resolution as introduced without change in
its effect. The House Committee is expected to act later to-day.
It is taken for granted that this declaration would' be adopted
by Congress in two or three days at the most.
Specifically the President in his address last night, asked Con
gress to declare the recent course of the German government to have
been one of war against the United States government and people
of the United States and that this nation accept the status of belli
gerent which had been forced upon it.
Congress, acting for the American people, to-day took steps look
ing to enabling the nation, as the President expressed it. to "exert
all its power and employ all its resources to bring the government
of the German empire to terms to end the war."
UFoUctte Blocks Action I
The adjournment of the Senate was ]
marked by a stormy scene in which I
Senator LaFollette by objection forced !
consideration of the war resolution
over until to-morrow and Democratic
Leader Martin then forced an adjourn- i
ment to cut off LaFollette.
Senator Hitchcock then told him 1
that if absence of Drinted copies was,
The basis of his objection he could :
promise their distribution within five'
minutes.
Objects Under Rules
"I object, under the rules," insisted
Senator LaFollette.
Senator Martin, the majority leader. ,
angrily faced Senator LaFollette say-J
ing:
"Of course it is within the power of I
the Senator to carry this over. He has I
too much experience to make it neces
sary for me to tell him that his atti
tude in a matter of such tremendous
conseo ucneps "
Senator LaFollette broke in with a
protest against being "lectured" by
Senator Martin.
"I had no idea of lecturing the;
Senator," Senator Martin retorted, j
"but I have a right to call the atten-!
tion of the Senate and the Senator to
the momentous consequences of the;
resolution."
Forces His Point
' It's quite unnecessary," LaFollette
interjected. " Ithink I realize it as
fully as the Senator from Virginia
does. I ask the regular order."
Senator LaFollette then insisted that
the Vice-President sustai inand an-1
nounce the rule against t'urt-her com
ment after objection has been made t.*
immediate consideration of the resolu- I
tion. The Vice-President called for'
other bills and resolutions and Senator !
Martin precipitated the adjournment. I
"I desire to say right here," he an- !
nounced, "that no other business shall j
be proceeded with until this matter >s
settled. I move that the Senate ad
journ until 10 o'clock to-morrow."
The galleries greeted this announce- !
ment with a wave of handclapping;
which was not supressed.
The Senate then adjourned.
House Committee Adjourns
Consideration of the administration I
war resolution by the House Foreign !
Affairs Committee was postponed until;
to-morrow.
Democrats of the House Foreign Af
fairs Committee had met informally to
discuss the war resolution. Inasmuch
as the Republican committeemen will
not be named until later in the day,
no final action could be taken on it.;
Republican leaders promised that their
committeemen would be named as j
readily as possible and it was planned
to assemble the entire committee and 1
report the resolution without delay.
To Limit Debate
The House committee also was ex
pected to report the resolution I
promptly under a special rule limiting ;
debate and fixing an hour for a vote.
It is accepted as a foregone con- i
elusion that when the resolution does

HIHVII O OFFICES
TUESDAY EVENING,
1 come to a vote it will pass both houses
! by overwhelming majorities.
The President in his address did not
| make it very clear exactly how he ex
pected an army of 500,000 men, which
he proposed, is to be raised, except
to say it should be "upon the prin
: ciple of universal liability to service."
' Two universal training bills were in
troduced yesterday, one drafted bv the
j Army general staff and the other by
! Senator Chamberlain. Whether either
may be used as the framework for a '
j measure to- raise a bi-: army is un
known.
No Filibuster
1 Action by the Senate within at least
i two or three days was predicted to- j
I day even by senators opposing it. |
I Some of the "wilful men," named by
President Wilson declared emphati- j
' cally there would be no filibuster, or 1
protracted debate, although several
j want to speak at length.
Amendments from Republican sena
tors especially to prevent a formal j
j alliance with the entente or a federal;
; loan to them are expected. Senators j
Borah, Kenyon, Penrose, Colt and oth- |
er Republicans are particularly oppos- !
ed to an alliance. That there would i
: be no need for resort to the new clo- !
ture rule to pass the resolution was
stated even by some of those opposed
to war.
Leaders of both parties in the Sen
ate are disposed to pass only appro
priation and other war measures and
adjourn. Some leaders believe it pos
sible to adjourn by May 15. but some;
Republicans think June 1 more prob- I
1 able. •
LaFollette to Speak Long
I Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, 1
1 leader of the "little group of wilful!
men," said to-day he expected there
I would be "quite a little debate."
"I don't know." he said, "they may '
shut me off. They did once, you know, i
i when I expected to speak."
House leaders predicted unanimous
| support to the President. The only |
possible objection foreseen by them;
; was to a possible proposal to send
troops at once. Later, after an army
[had been will trained, if the war con-]
tinued. they thought the House would :
support such a plan.
In the wave of patriotic fervor which
j swept over the House to-day after;
over night consideration of the Presi
dent's address most of the so-called ;
pacifist group fell into line by declar-i
t ing that if war came they would stand :
by the President.
Army of 700.000
It is assumed that the President will j
authorize an increase of both the Na
-1 tional Guard and regular army to war '
strength. That in itself would give an <
; army of more than 700,000 m-*i. in I
; addition to the proposed new fo. ce of |
j 500,000. The Navy already is recruit- 1
j ing to war strength under an order of I
i the President issued last week and
60.000 national guardsman are doing
police duty in their respective states. i
' President Wilson this morning left ,
the White House and went across the j
, Potomac to a nearby Virginia countrv
| club for a round of golf. He planned 1
to return early and keep in close touch
j with Senate and House leaders.
Committee Approves
j The Senate Foreign Relations Com-.
. mittee to-day approved the adminis-1
! tration resolution declaring a state of
war exists with Germany in practic-!
ally the same form as it was intro-'
duced in both houses of Congress last
i night.. Changes were made to the
wording but the effect remains the!
same.
The vote was unanimous except for i
j Chairman Stone. Senator Borah, of j
Idaho, was absent. Senator Hitchcock,!
I of Nebraska, who will handle the reso- :
iution on the floor, went immediately
|to the House Foreign Affairs Coin-1
mittee to show it the changes the Sen
; ate committee had made in order to j
| have it put before both houses in the 1
i same form. He will report the resolu-:
j tion to the Senate to-day and an effort j
j will be made to put it through as soon I
las possible.
The Resolution
The resolution as approved by the j
Senate committee now is as follows:
"Whereas the Imperial German gov
ernment has committed repeated acts
of war against the government and
the people of the United States of Am
erica, therefore be it
"Resolved by the Senate and House
iof Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled. that the state of war between
i the United States and the Imperial
I German government, which has thus
! been thrust upon the United States is
( hereby formally declared; and that the
: President be and he is hereby author
! ized and directed to employ the entire
I naval and military forces of the United
'States and the resources of the govern-
I ment to carry on war against the Im
perial German government: and to
| bring the conflict to a successful ter
! mination, all of the resources of the
. country are hereby pledged by the
j Congress of the United States."
j Chairman Stone, who voted against
the resolution, said he would not make
a minority report but expected to
! speak on the floor.
To Rusli Action
i An effort to put through the resolu
tion declaring a state of war before
the Senate adjourns to-night probably
will be made by Democratic leaders,
j "The resolution ought to pass In
; thirty minutes," said Senator Martin,
I the Democratic floor leader. "X don't
think any Senator ought to speak
more than five minutes on It. They
| all know what it contains and what
they expect to do. I am in favor of
sluing through until it is passed. The
Senate ought not to adjourn without
; acting on It."
Senator Martin said that when the
, resolution comes from the Foreign
I Relations Committee any Senator op
; posed to its immediate consideration
j; can, under the Senate ruleß, force it
to go over for one day. He did not be
| lieve, however, that such action would
be taken even by pacifist Senators who
might desire to speak against it.

STOCKS PICK UP
AT NEWS OF WAR
Market Visibly Heartened by President Wilson's Message
to Congress; Munitions Make Gains
Xew York, April 3.—Wall Street —
i The stock market was visibly heart
| ened at to-day's opening by President
. Wilson's message calling for a decla
! ration that a state of war exists be
tween the United States and Germany.
Gains of 1 to 2 points were limited
largely to munitions, equipments and
allied industrial, rails and metals fail
ing to participate in more than minor
degree. Dealings were large, but
lacked the breadth and exciting inci
j dents which have characterized other
war markets of the past two years.
Heavy profit taking and the reac
tionary tendency displayed by various
specialties caused a general reversal
and wiping out of gains before the
end of the tirst half hour. Weakness
of motor issues was a feature of the
I period.
i Trading fell to less than an average
| proportion before 11 o'clock, buying and
short covering having expended their
I force with resultant impairment of all
early gains. United States Steel react
-led two points from its high price of
; 11S S . and other leaders and speculative
' favorites were one to three points un
der initial maximums. Heaviness of
> rails and sharp declines in motors, the
latter losing 1% to three points, pro
! voked considerable irregularity. Be-
I fore noon another moderate buying
movement, partially restored most
| losses, but rails were under further
pressure. Foreign bonds were strong.

REYNOLDS DIVORCE LAW
REPEALER IS KILLED
The Reynolds bill to repeal the di
vorce act of 1913 was defeated in the
House to-day by 111 noes to 68 ayes
after an hour's debate. The bill was
by Messrs. Reynolds, Phila
delphia, and McVlcar, Allegheny, and
opposed by Mr. Beyer, Philadelphia,
and others. The bill would have re
pealed the much discussed act regu
lating granting of divorces to people
who had been married outside of the
state and for offenses occurring out
side of Pennsylvania, provided one of
the parties had established a residence
of one year in this state.
U. S. WILL NOT
MAKE PEACE BLINDLY
(Continued l'rom l'asr One)
even by Chancellor Von Bethmann-
Hollweg.
The extent of the unrest and the
attitude of the authorities toward it
is expected to be shown in the way
they treat publication of the Presi
dent's address.
Too- I>atc For Peace
Reports from Berlin that Count
Czernin, Austrian foreign minister, had
proposed a conference without a cessa
tion of hostilities caused surprise at
the State Department where it was
said that no such definite information
had been received. Count Czernin is
known here only to have said that the
Central Powers still considered open
their peace offer of December 12 but
that he had added to that offer the
suggestion of a conference during
hostilities provided a new angle.
Officials felt at once, however, that
the time for such a conference abso
lutely has passed. The view is being
adopted here that no negotiations can
be begun until Germany laid down
a general statement of terms as a
guarantee of good faith.
The United States apparently would
be as loath as the allies to enter a
blind conference.
The sharp focusing of attention
throughout the world by the Presi
dent's address on the present auto
cracy of Germany is expected to make
some curtailment of that autocracy
essential as a peace preliminary. The
British and French, even before the
terrible devastation of Northern
France, have many times, even in
high quarters, demanded actual capi
tal punishment for a few leading
statesmen in Germany to whom the
war is attributed. The attitude of the
United States towards those officials
while not so bitter will nevertheless
tend to increase that feeling. It is
very probable, therefore, that a gen
eral condition of peace will be some
very decided action towards the auto
cracy.
While the Austrian. Bulgarian and
Turkish situation remains just as it
was lor the present so far as this
country is concerned it is probable
that Germany will force those nations
to her side. Austria, deeply affected
by freedom in Russia and fearful of
a break with this country; Bulgaria,
already satisfied with her war results
and anxious for peace without disas
ter; Turkey overrun from four sides
through her richest territories by
Russian and British troops are all
known to be ready for peace nego
tiations on very reasonable terms.
Germany, however, has built up dur
ing the war a domination in those
countries which may not be broken.
Count Tarnowski, whom President
Wilson said could not be received as
Austrian ambassador now is expected
to ask for his safe conduct home.
Officials had hoped to avoid a break
wtih Austria and have postponed it
as long as possible. Just after the
receipt of the Austrian note affirm
ing Germany's decree Count Tarnow
ski was told that he could not present
his credentials and it is thought to be
as a result of this that Ambassador
Penfield has been summoned home
from the American embassy in Vi
enna. Full diplomatic relationship
would, under such conditions not ex
ist and little doubt is felt that the
next step will follow within a few
days.

Some idea of the modern anil thor
oughly attractive appointments of the
lobby floor of the new Penn-Harrls ho
tel to be erected at Third and Walnut
streets by the Harrisburg Hotel Com
pany, may be grained from the above
etching.
It will be noted that the floor plans
of the rooms about the lobby floor show
a comfortable and convenient arrange
ment of individual rooms and suites.
On the main lobby floor the dining
room can be enlarged at will by in
cluding the lounging room which ad
joins it on the Third street side. The
main lobby is on a slightly different
