Want More Authority.

Washington.-A resolution drafted
by the Department of Justice for the

and supplies for belligerent warships
at sea.
The resolution would authorize the
President to direct customs collectors
to withhold clearance from any vessel
Of American registry or license which
he has reason to believe has any in
tention to carry such supplies.
The resolution was pressed by
Democratic Leader Underwood and
Republican Leader Mann. It was put
through after Mr.. Underwood had pre-
sented a letter from Robert Lansing,
Counsellor Of the State Department,
saying that the Government had been
hindered by lack of sufficient iegisla-
tion to prevent vessels from leaving
American ports with coal and supplies
for warships. "The Department Of
State heartily supports the proposed
resolutions" the letter continued,
"and desire to emphasize the great
urgency and need OF It's immediate
passage that the Government may not
be bound internationally and yet have
its hands tied so as to be unable to act
in the discharge of It's international
duties"
The resolution, to take effect i'm

war lasts, is designed to prevent vio-
