President Invites Senator GAL
linger and Representative
Mann for Conference. {
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM
WILL BE MADE KNOWN
Illinoisan Declares He Will Not Take
Orders, But Is Willing to Con-.
suit With Mr.. Wilson. 4,


President Wilson today asked
Senator Gallinger and Represen-
tatlve Mann, republican leaders
OF the Senate and House, re-
spectively, to confer with him be-
fore the opening of Congress on
legislation for national defense.
The time of the conference will
be arranged to suit the two lead
erS.
The President sent the invitations in
accordance with his announced plan
of making the fight for military pre-
paredness along non partisan lines.
Expects Some Opposition.
He expects his plans will be opposed
by some democrats, but has been as
sureo by the leaders that there is no
doubt of passage of the main features.
Just before the opening of Congress the
President also will confer with re-
publican members of the Senate and
House military and naval comittees.
When he sees Senator Gallinger and
Representative Mann. the President
will discuss other legislative ques-
tions
While it was being made known at
the White House that the republican
leader has been invited to a conference.
Representative Mann. who was at the
State Department asking for protection
of American planters who have been
driven out of Mexico,> made statement
on the Presidents proposal.
Balks at Taking Orders.
The President may give orders to the
democrats in Congress- said he. but he
certainly cannot call me to the White
House to give orders. 1 am perfectly
willing to consult with him, but not to
go up there to be told to do what he has
decided upon. Everybody is for prepared
ness, of course, but 1 am not willing to
say what attitude the republicans in the
House will take toward the administra-
tion's defense program until know Just
what it is from the documents, not from
the newspapers 1 am for all defense
preparation that is necessary. I believe
in treating such an issue as a non-partisan
question"
Mr.. Mann said he had heard that the
President had written a letter to him.
Thinks Country Republican.
When asked as to his estimate of the
relative strength of the republican and
democratic parties throughout the
United States. Representative Mann
said emphatically that, in his opinion,
the country is now strongly republican
Questioned as to whether he thought
that the proposed defense legislation
would prove to be successful political
step for the democratic administration.
the republican leader said that he felt
sure that the country recognized that
the program is not and could never
successfully be party measure.
He implied that the exigencies of con-
ditions which have arisen during the
administration have made certain steps
necessary by the country as a whole.
and that it will be the country as I.
whole which will be responsible for
whatever action is to be taken.

Republicans Not to Hamper
National Defense Program
If It Is Made N0n-PartjSar

The republican party in the House
of Representatives will have a new
box of tricks to display to the demo-
| Gratis when the bills for national de-
fense are rolled upon the floor, unless
| the administration makes the pre-
paredness question a non-partisan one.
This is the opinion Of Representa-
| tive James r. Mann. who has just re-
| turned to Washington.
| Representative Mann indicated that the
coming session would be replete with
| G. o. P. vigor, and the strongest i'm
| preston gained from a talk with the
| republican leader is that the country
| is going to have every opportunity TO
read the record of the democrats-tha.
| is, from the standpoint of the repub-
licans. If the administration plays
fair ana takes the republicans into
its confidence from the start, there will
be no attempt to make the passage o
the defense bills and the necessar,
revenue bills difficult matter. If any
other policy is pursued, Representative
Mann implies trouble ahead for the
leaders.
Prosperity Due to War, He Says.
1t is evident that Representative
Mann believes that the democrats will
hear from the country on the situation
with regard to the English sea policy
and the orders in council.
I'VE are prosperous now; and all in
dications point 20 continued pros
perity," said me floor leader, ''and il
is all in spite of the democratic tariff
Of course, any tariff would be merel-
book affair with this war on in Eu-
rope. The prosperity we are getting
comes because of the war. great guam
titles of money and credit are being
dumped on our shores and prosperity
is sure to follow.
But We would be more prosperous.
enormously more prosperous, if W.,
wer, allowed to trade where and WITH
whom he would. AS it is we can trade
only with those whom England indi-
Gates.
1.-The State Department of the United
States is run from London" continued
Mr. Mann. What it needs is backbone.
II the United States wants to become
really prosperous it should tell England
SO stop the practice of parceling out thu
worlds trade to suit the British navy"
Republicans Have No Plans.
In response to question about tho
republican treatment of the administra-
tion's defense plans, he said:
"The republicans have no plans" he
said, because they have not been cor
suited and have not been informed of
the intentions of the administration.

MISS COCROFT LECTURES
ON WOMAN WORTH WHILE
Says Latter Is Awakening to Real
ization That Her Function and
Privilege Is to Serve"

The Woman Worth While" Miss
Susanne Cocroft's lecture on the physi-
cal. mental and moral attributes that
pertain to the betterment of women,
was presented today before a large
audience in the ballroom Of the New
Willard Hotel. The speaker stated that
the so-called new woman" does not
exist. The woman of today is the
woman of yesterday and Of tomorrow.
She is simply awakening to the reali-
zation that "her function and her privi-
lege Is to serve"
The speaker emphasized the fact
that there is a vast difference between
a material mother and a spiritual
mother. Many women who have never
had children are spiritual mothers"
The woman who attends to physica
comforts alone is no longer considered
a good mother. She comes to be re-
garded by her child as a materia
mother, only. The woman who goes
out with her child and puts herself ir
sympathy with his life lis his com.
panion. his friend, his helper, his guide
and conf1dante."
Women are looking out on a new
view of motherhood. To-day the in.
telligent mother has broader insight
She is trying to study the soul drift Of
her child. She is a student Of human
life. She is seeking for the standard
of life within the child himself"

FIND COMPLICATED CASE
IN DEATH OF THRESHER
Officials Here to Base Study Of Facts
as to Falaba Victim on Ger
man Report.

The report of tho commander of the
German submarine which sunk the
British liner Falaba Is expected to form
part Of the evidence upon which the
State Department will base study OF
the facts surrounding the death OF
Leon c. Thresher, the American mining
engineer, drowned when the ship went
down.
Instructions to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin to transmit the official report
have been sent
Ambassador Page and Consul General
Skinner at London are still gathering
evidence from British sources and from
survivors of the Falaba.
State Department officials say that
the death of Leon C. Thresher an Amer
lean, lost with the Falaba. constitutes
complicated case. If the German
view that all merchantmen being armed
are in the category of warships is ac-
cepted, the rights of neutrals to travel
aboard belligerent craft of any KIND
would be circumscribed
Furthermore, Germany contends that
sufficient time was permitted for the
escape of the passengers. and the inti-
nation is given that If he was not In
cluded among those saved there was
an act of negligence for which the
Germans were not responsible.

Langley, who was severely wounded

an improvised bar. That was In a
part Of the house where the older

tered the house and made four arrests.

Of his weapon.

leased, but more than dozen will be
tried. The trials will not take place
