BIG army Plan
PASSES SENATE
BY large VOTE
Measure Provides for In
creasing Regular Army
to 100000.
COMPELS RESPECT
FOR THE UNIFORM

Chamberlain Bill Carries Clause I'M.
posing Punishment for DisGrimina.
ton Against Those Who Wear
Clothing of Soldier.

Washington, April 1S.-The army
reorganization bill was passed by the
senate at sos O'Clock tonight, with
out a roll call.
AS the bill passed, it carries provi-
sion for increasing the regular army
to 100000; the coast artillery to 21,-
74S men; and provided for military
training in certain schools and col
leges. RsTVNY
The bill will also compel respect
for the Uniform of the army and navy,
as it provides punishment for COM
mon carriers, theatres, restaurants
and all persons and corporations
found guilty of discriminating against
those who wear the national uniform.
The vote to increase the regular
army was non-partisan, Twenty-Five
Republicans and 81 Democrats sup
ported it and 26 Democrats and II
Republicans voted against it.
With the exception of Borah, Jones,
Curtis and Smith of Michigan, the
Republican votes came from Progress
sives.
The Hardwick amendment, provid-
ing for federal military instructors
for boys over Is years of age, on the
request of certain schools and collie
ges, was adopted. No persons under
IS years of age may be called into ac-
tive service under this action, but in
case of war or threatened war the
president would be authorized to call
out this reserve force not below the
prescribed age limit
Senator Hardwick declared his
amendment would develop a million
trained soldiers.
The term of enlistment was reduced
from seven to five years. with two
years in active service, with the pro-
visions for retirement to the reserve
at the end of one year, under certain
conditions.

immense GERMAN
RE|NF0RCEMENTS
BEFORE VERDUN
Other Fronts Being Drained
to Strengthen Army of
Grown Prince.

London, April 1S.-Great German
reinforcements are being rushed to
Verdun, according to authoritative ad-
vices reaching here tonight. In or
der to fill the gaps in the army of the
crown prince, the German general
staff is draining the forces on the
Russian and Macedonian fronts, these
reports assert.
Heavy trains of veteran troops are
said to be arriving in the rear of the
Verdun armies. Swiss frontier dis
patches estimate the reinforcements
at more than 100000, in addition to
rived at the front.
Unfavorable weather conditions
have brought stop to the latest Of
fensive of the crown prince. Through
out the day, according to the midnight
communique from Paris, the infantry
remained inactive, while, because of
dense fog and heavy rain, the artil-
lery was greatly hampered. Only in
termittent commandments are report
ed.
Additional reports today give an
idea of the magnitude of the German
drive on the previous afternoon
against the French position east of
the Meusc. While the French con-
cede the loss of only sector of the
first line trench south of the Chauf-
four wood, the Germans assert that
several important advances were
made up the ridges of Steinbruck,
south of Haudremont farm, and the
chain of hills northwest of Phiomont.
More than 100 prisoners were TAX
en-, and the German main headquar-
tiers announced that the names of
these men will be published in a spe-
cial list, together with the names of
III other French officers and 3S,155
men captured previously in the Ver-
dun engagement, because of attempts
by the French to cast doubt on the
Berlin communications.

Officers Seize Private Pa
pers of Franz Won Papen
and Arrest Agent.
HUNDREDS HERE IN
GERMANY'S SERVICE
Among the Documents Taken from
Office Of Recalled Attache Is list
Containing Names Of Hundreds Of
German Secret Agents.

New York, April lS.--The govern
ment struck its hardest blow today
at the Germans accused of Matching
unneutral plots on American soil.
Following close upon the indictment
Of Captain Franz Won Papen in the
Welland canal plot, federal agents to-
day raided the office Of the recalled
military attache at GO Wall street. A
rough and tumble battle that lasted 40
minutes was followed by the seizure
of Won Papen's private files and 20
pounds Of important documents. and
the ARE st of Wolf Won Igel, confiden-
tial secretary CT the attache.
Hardly had the news of the arrest
been flashed to Washington when
Count Won Bernstorff, German ambas-
sador, hurried to the state depart
ment and made formal representation
for the release of Won Igel and the
return of the papers.
Won Bernstorff asserted Won Igel
was an accredited member of the
embassy staff and as such enjoys ex-
traordinary rights and immunity from
arrest. He declared the office on the
twenty-fifth floor Of the Wall street
skyscraper was German territory and
under regulations Of international law,
immune from intrusion by any Amer
lean police power, city, state or
national.
Won Igel was arraigned and held in
100000 bail by Judge Howe. Just as
this had been DONE the reports came
that he state department had re-
quested the department of justice to
order the prisoners release. No such
orders from Attorney General Gregory
reached the United states district al
torney, H. Snowden Marshall's office.
In he absence of such order, Mar
shall declared he would prosecute Won
Igel as he would any other violator
of laws of the United States.
Information was procured that the
Communicated papers bear on the
Welland canal conspiracy. Further
more they establish the connection Of
Won Papen with practically every
bomb and arson outrage of the last
year and a half Contained in the
papers, it was learned, was full list
of hundreds of secret agents in this
country. On this list were not alone
citizens Of Germany but American and
COMMUNICATIONS, some Of them
wealthy and prominent.

would appear before congress came
as a shock to members of the senate
and house. They had expected word
that the note written by the president
for transmission to Berlin would be
promptly sent.
The report was in general circula-
ton tonight that this plan had been
changed by the president when mem
bers of his cabinet disagreed with
the language used by the president in
not wholly conforming to internation-
al law and the usages of diplomacy
The president is then said to have
decided to place the matter squarely
before congress. One report was that
he tore up the note that had been
prepared for transmission to Berlin.
In announcing his determination to
go before congress, President Wilson
made it plain that he was not shift
ing responsibility to congress. On
the contrary, it was asserted that the
j president let it be known that he, in
tends to reserve or retain all eXecu-
tive power vested in him and stands
willing to assume full responsibility
for diplomatic action. OBJ ~
In his message to congress tomor-
row, it is authoritatively Stated, the
president will present an indictment
of Germany's submarine campaign in
which each attack on vessel imper-
illfng American lives will form a spe-
cial count.
1t will be stated by the president
that the United States and Germany
are apparently in irreconcilable con-
flict on the submarine issue. He will
summarize this conflict.
Action a Surprise. H.
The demand for joint session fell
upon the house like a. thunderbolt.
The house had been working along
methodically on routine business.
In the midst of the excitement. Mi
nority Leader Kitchin, his face cloud
ed, took his place on the floor of
the house. Members watched him
closely as he arose and offered the
concurrent resolution calling for a
joint session. When the resolution
had been read, Representative Kitch-
in asked unanimous consent that it
be Immediately considered. Not a
single voice was raised in opposition
and the resolution was adopted. AL
most Immediately the house adjourn
ed.
The concurrent resolution was re-
ceived in the senate few minutes
after 3 o'clock. At the moment, Sen
ator Lewis was speaking on an
amendment to the pending army bill
A hush came over the senate as the
import of the resolution was unde.
stood. Majority Leader Kern asked
at once that the resolution be laid
before the senate. He then moved
that the senate concur. This was
done without dissenting vote.

some members Of the house and SEN
ate will endeavor to question the
president when he appears before
congress tomorrow. They will ask
him whether he is confident of being
able to avert war in case of a break
in diplomatic relations. Some MEM
bers of the house tonight discussed
the chance of being recognized by
Speaker Clark, if they got up to
question the president. At d late
hour tonight, they We're still without
this information. Speaker Clark
probably will, be approached Oh the
subject tomorrow.
Two important dispatches wer" re-
oaived at the state department today
from Ambassador Gerard, dealing
with the submarine controversy. This
gave rise to the impression that the
presidents decision to go before con-
gress came as the result of some fav-
orable information that Mr.. Gerard
had communicated.
Count Won Bernstorff was taken
completely by surprise when advised
Of the presidents action He was
given no hint of this intended action
when he saw Secretary Lansing at 4
o'clock. He was then told that Mr..
Lansing was not prepared to discuss
the submarine situation with him.
The German ambassador asked for
the appointment with Secretary Lam
sing after receiving a lengthy mes
sage from Berlin. 1t was presumed
he had been given authority to meet
the American government half way in
any measure for settlement of the
submarine issue.
Break May BE Ayerted.
The procedure that will be followed
by this government, as announced by
high administration authority, close
to the president, is as follows:
First, the president will read a
message to congress, reviewing the
whole situation from the Lusitania
case down to thhe present time. The
president will refer to the 'strict ac-
countability" and deliberately I'M
phrases of his earlier notes
and will announce his conviction that
because of Germany's violation OF
American rights, diplomatic relations
should be severed.
Second, Ambassador Won Bernstorff
will be handed his passports and Am
bassador Gerard will be recalled from
Berlin.
Third, a note will be dispatched to
Berlin, explaining to the German gov
eminent why this action was taken.
More conservative opinion, however,
was that the president would convey
to congress his opinion that the evil
dence in the submarine situation JUS
titles break in diplomatic relations.
This latter course would leave a
loophole for an eleventh hour settle
ment of the controversy with Ger
many. 1t would give the German
government an opportunity to make
concessions that would avert break.
President Wilson announced his
decision to place the submarine issue
before congress at the cabinet meet
ing today.

Washington, Apr. 1S-Grave develop
ments in the Mexican situation was
the subject of a conference between
president Wilson and Secretary OF
War Baker at the white house to-
night The conference lasted half an
hour.
Earlier il he evening Secretary
Baker conferred with Secretary OF
State Lansing. The principal question
discussed was whether new policy
in Mexico is demanded in the light
of reports from General lPershing of
the belligerent attitude of Carranza
troops. Secretary Baker said no new
orders have been sent to General
Funston.
San Antonio, April 1S.-General
Funston today ordered to Columbus
approximately 2,3OG men now station
ed along the border.
There they will be under command
of General Pershing, and probably
will be hurried in Mexico, to protect
the line of communication, while
troons of that line will be sent for
ward to support the advance cciumn
and guard extension of the line of
communication.
General Funston has asked for
more troons. for border patrol. He
admitted this afternoon that he had
ordered the additional troops first
and informed Washington later, what
he had done The move was in re-
Spouse to an urgent request of Gen.
eral Pershing that his line of COM

Pershing entered Mexico and indi-
Gates an intention to be prepared for
whatever may happen 1t will give

General Funston says he has asked
for more troops for the border and it
is for Washington to decide where
they are to come from.
Several days will be required for
the organizations along the border
to concentrate and move to Columbus.
Major Elliott depot quartermaster
at FL Paso, has informed General
Funston that about Is carloads of for
age and provisions sent to Chihuahua
by the Mexican Central by private
shippers for army consumption have
been held up there by General Cult
terez, who has refused to let them
be sent on to San Anonio, Mexico.
General Bell, Jr., at Fort Bliss, has
reported to General Funston that he
believes the story of Villas body be-
ing brought in was a canard originat-
ing in Juarez.
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua can
find nothing whatever to support the
story, in Chihuahua, lCusi or Son An
tonic, Mexico.
Ell Paso, April 1S.-First Chief Car
rama will demand the withdrawal vi
the United States troops within the
next few days, whether or not the
corpse found near Cusi is that OF
Francisco Villa.
Mexican officials at Juarez say
General Carranza has been forced 20
take this position because he can no
longe rcontrol either his troops or
the civil elements.
The Parral district is still disturbed
by anti-American demonstrations. The
plant of the American Smelling &
Refining company at Tecolopes, ten
miles south of Parral, was attacked
and partly destroyed last night.
