"If President Wilson" says the Army and Navy Journal "consus his military advisers, he will ask al- horlty from congress to mobilize army of 100000 volunteers not for the purpose of making war but Co avoid war by preserving neutrality and maintaining our honor and dignity"

attention from the outset as has the European war Throughout the ses- sion the President and the Foreign | Relations committee were an frequent 1 conferences and much was done to Yrestrain unusual demonstrations that
 might have disturbed internatonal ! tranquility Early in the session gen eral arbitration treaties with several great foreign powers were renewed for five year periods and 26 peace commission treaties providing for in- 1 vestigaton of international disputes l before resort to arms were negotiated and ratified. A treaty to enforce the regulations adopted by the London Safety at Sea conference was rati- fled last December. but with an ann endment making reservations which
 came too late for other powers to consider thus preventing enforce ment of the convention A treaty with Nicaragua providing for acquire
 ment Of the Nicaraguan canal route and naval stations for $3OoO000 was left unrauncd by the Senate and the bending treaty with Colombia direct ] ing payment Of S25OoOOOO for the l Panama canal strip was held in by the Foreign Relations committee.
 The closing session of the Com
 gress was almost wholly devoted to appropriation bills the ship purchase .bt fight. and few general meas lures. Aside from appropriations about the only important legislative enact
 ments included the creation of the
 Coast Guard by consolidation of the
 grades in the Diplomatic and Consul
 lar service; requirement of registra-
 ton of and imposing special taxes
 upon all dealers manufacturers or
 importers of opium, or its deriva-
 tiyes, and the creation of the Rocky
 Mountain National Park in Colorado.
 Much debate on the condition of
 national defenses enliyened the clos ing session. Proposals for special in-
 vesugauon of the preparedness of
 the nation all failed House naval
 and military committees. however,
