German so loved by the French prison

he devotes great deal OF his time

italian correspondent recently told the
story of this remarkable prince and
priest. He wrote:
''In Lorraine found the most un
usual of army chaplains. Prince Max
of Saxony, the brother Of the king of
Saxony. The prince is at the front as

Saxon commands. Wherever the bat

you may be quite sure you will find
Father Max.
"On one occasion saw him when he
was conducting mass In the little Ro-
man Catholic church at Epinal, only
few kilometers distant from the firing

was In progress and shells were ex-
ploding over the church, the fragments
often falling into the auditorium.

Two Of the windows had been shat

priest proceeded calmly, as If nothing
unusual was happening to read the
service before congregation that
seemed to be as calm and as uncon-
cerned as he himself was.
Among the French prisoners and
the French wounded that have fallen
into Saxon hands Father Max enjoys
unlimited popularity. The French
seem to love the gentle priest just as
much as do his own Saxons not only

CONGRESS VOTES PRESIDENT
RIGHT TO DEFEND v. q
NEUTRALITY.
HOUSE cuRsED BY SENATE
iRssolufIon 10 Modified NJ white House
Conference With Wilson Before
Doth Branches Put II Through
Finally.

Washington, March 5.-Before its
adjournment ON Thursday congress-
placed q solemn responsibility upon
the shoulders of the president In con-
nection with the European situation
Under cover of penalizing violations
Of neutrality. It adopted q resolution
comforting authority upon the chief
executive to use the land and naval
forces of the nation to assist and de-
fend our neutrality.
The resolution as adopted by the
senate was not as sweeping AZ thai
adopted by the house. 1t had been
modified as result Of White House
conference.
Senators pointed out to the presi-
dent that provision In the resolution
adopted by the house providing Tor
the internment Of foreign ships In
American harbors found guilty OF
m attempt to violate our neu-
krAlity laws would arouse Germany
snd Austria Hungary. In the interest
Of continued friendly relations with
those two states. they urged that the
provision be eliminated. This was
done.
After the senate had adopted the
modified resolution the house took
similar action.
Explaining the purpose OF the reso-
luton during the White House con-
ference. the president told the sena-
TORS that for two days he had been
considering plan for the application
of an embargo upon munitions Of war.
He did not believe he had sufficient
legal authority to take such action.
1t further was pointed out during
the conference that Germany had
charged us with violating neutrality
as o result of our action In freely sell
ing munitions to the allies.
There was the ever-present danger
under the existing conditions that our
neutrality and peace would be men
aced and II was deemed expedient for
the president to be armed, both for the
moral effect produced on Europe and
in view Of possible developments dur.
ing the time that viii elapse before
congress- reassembles In December.
The resolution as modified by the
White House conference was passed
by the senate without debate. As Il
was presented to the president for mp
proval he viii be authorised:
1. To withhold clearance from any
vessel American or foreign. which b,
has reasonable cause to believe II
