Deprecates the Use of Any More
 Force at Vera Cruz.

Annapolis, Md, June 5.-'1 pray God it may not be necessary for our boys at Vera Cruz to use any more force" reverently declared President Wilson today in the course of his ad- dress to the graduates of the naval academy. He spoke in the presence of a gathering of more than 5000 per sons made up largely of present and future officers of the navy. The pres ident referred to the American army and navy as "the instruments of civ ilization, not as the instruments of ag- gression.'
 Other nations have been strong,'' he said. "other nations have piled wealth as high as the sky, but they have come to disgrace because they used their force and their wealth for the oppression of mankind and their own aggrandizement; and America will not bring glory to herself, but disgrace, by following the beaten paths of history. We must strike out on new paths."

 The hollow wooden mainmast built for the Defiance at Bath will be step ped tomorrow morning, her steel spar to lie in disuse on the pier here.

The three measures had been agreed to in committee of the whole" after weeks of speechmaking, consideration of the Rayburn bill as amended by the com mtttee, being completed late this af- ,ternoon. When the trade commission bill came before the house for a final vote progressive leader Murdock moved that it be sent back to the in- terstate commerce committee with in structfons to report the Murdock bill as a substitute.

 Representative White of Ohio was the only democrat to vote against the Clayton bill and all the progressives voted for it except Representative Chanrler, of New York. Forty three republicans and 16 progressives joined the majority in supporting the meas ures
