States tot it is admitted any announcement of policy
of aggression would be enthusiastically received. Despite
this it stated at the White House today that while the
situation is very grave the President still hopes that gen.
eral war can be prevented
He is almost alone in this view. Officials who are
fully cognizan with the situation insist that all Mexico
must be conquered and they expect that Huera will per-
sonaly declare within few hours If he does it is
expected that he will also personally appeal to the powers
for help against the United States thereby parleng the
action Of Spain in 1898 In fact reports already in pos
session of the State Department which indicate that Huera
has already appealed to Japan and Germany. While it is
not believed that there will be any foreign interference in
fact is stated by no less authority than the President and
Secretary of State themselves that chances are being

quest for 0'Shaughnessy's
QuittaI Has Been Received.

After a long conference with Presi-
dent Wilson. Secretary of State Bryan
today stated that up to II 10 a IN. to-
day he had not been advised by Charge
OShaughnessy that he had been asked
by Huerta to leave the Mexican capital,
or that he had been handed his pass
ports.
The Secretary said that he had re-
ceived no word from O'Shaughnessy
since yesterday, but he believed that II
O'Shaughnessy had been handed his
passports. Huerta would have permitted
him to communicate that fact to his
superiors here.
The Secretary OF State said he had
been informed that the American con-
suls were getting Americans out Of
Mexico as fast as possible. and that he
was hopeful all would get out in time.
Secretary of State Bryan was asked
whether Senior Algara, the Mexican
charge here. had communicated with
him since the Vera Cruz occupation.
Bryan refused to discuss Algara.
1t was learned that Algara has re-
ceived three lengthy code dispatches
from Dictator Huerta, but UP to the

MILITIA OF DISTRICT
READY FOR SERVICE
Final Preparations Made to En-
train at Hours Notice When
Order Comes.

Although no instructions of any kind
have been received from the War De-
partment, officers of the District militia
are going ahead today making prepara-
tions In anticipation of any call that
may be made on them.
EVERYTHING Is in readiness for the
militia to entraia on practically a mo-
ment's notice.
Brig. Gen. George II. Harrics- COM
mander Of the District Militia, who was
here yesterday comforting with his aides,
returned to New York last night.
Militia headquarters is in close touch
with General Harries. and should there
be any developments tending to indicate
that the militia may be called out, he
will return to Washington IN the first
train.
I'VE are just waiting like everyone
else said one OF the militia officers
this afternoon.

:nent OF the perfected resolution. which
will be signed in both houses early this
afternoon.
When Chairman Flood called the Sem
ate resolution there were cries Of vote
and a general Discrimination to have dis
cussion. Congressman Murdoch, the
Progressive leader, and Congressman
Mckenzie, Illinois Republican. shouted
Move the previous question now; this
Is no time for talk
Chairman Flood, in a brief speech, de-
clared that the Senate resolution was in
substance that which passed the House.
and that it would be childish under the
circumstances and in such a monentous
hour to bubble over words.
MIR. Flood assailed those who had
criticised the President, and predicted
that when the air clears, these criti-
cisms will be remembered only to the
detriment Of those who made them"
He pleaded for united action and q
unanimous vote in behalf of the nag
and the country.

ship" said Mr.. Mann. because we want
to avoid war out of which can come
no glory to US or the flag. The par
tisanship lies on the other side of the
House, for without regard to their be-
lief, without regard to the c0nsfdera-
tons involved, members are acting as
they are told to act by the President.
No Glory to United States.
II do not believe We should engage in
war at this time for the reasons which
have been given out by the President.
This war can bring no glory to US.
The concluding sentence in this resolu-
ton shows that 1t is not to be consider
ed as an act of war or hostility, and
this is a falsehood on its face. It Is
another American hypocritical conten-
ton. While we are actually engaged in
war. we seek to disclaim responsibility
for war. We have fired on and killed
Mexicans. and our marines have been
killed, and yet 1t Is said We are not
at war"
Mr.. Mann said. in opposing the reso-
luton, that he still had hopes Of peace.
AS soon as Mr.. Mann concluded, the
previous question was ordered on the
resolution and the resolution itself was
adopted by an overwhelming viva voce
vote The negative vote was incon-
seQuenIial.
The early morning session OF the
House today was a recess of the ses-
sion of yesterday, and Immediately fol-
lowing the adoption of the war resolu-
ton. the House adjourned till the noon
hour.
The acceptance of the Senate resolu-
ticn by the House means that no fur
sary except the signing of The engrosssd
copy by the Speaker of the House and
the Vice President. in the presence OF
their respective bodies.
The resolution should reach the White
House by 2 o'clock.

1T is enjoined upon all inhabi-

vent firing by individuals from the
