LONDON, March 2-Keen disap- pointment regarding the results of the voluntary recruiting scheme was expressed in the House of Lords by Earl Derby, the former chief of the recruiting service. He laid the blame for the failure to achieve full results which is aimed at an easy exemption of single men, especially those re- quired to work on necessities by tho government, also the agriculturists.
 Derby made an emphatic plea to the government to prevent bachelors of military age from evading military service by transferring themselves to specialized occupations. He declared a strong effort would be necessary to obtain the requisite number of fight ing men, without whom the empire fall.
 He said the agriculturists were the principal class to avail themselves of the exemption under the plea they were indispensable for the production of food stuffs for the government. There are promises to revise the list of reserved trades with a view of releasing more men for the army

CURE CAUSES SENSATION
 IN FIERY
 SPEECH
Remarks Attributed to Wilson Indicative of the Executive Leaning Toward War; De- nied at White House.
WILSON HOLDS
 STRONG SUPPORT
Berlin Takes Advantage of Congressional Break; John Sharp Williams and Lodge Staunchly Uphold Wilson.

WASHINGTON. March 2-Out of the days developments in the Presi- dents fight with Congress, were crowded the utmost of elements both sensational and dramatic The Ad- ministration forces in the Senate emerged tonight with pledges for Senator Cores resolution to warn Americans off armed ships of Europ- can belligerents and demonstrate that Congress stands behind the President in his negotiations with Germany. The action of the Senate, it is believed, will be followed promptly by stifiing of sentiment in the House against the Presidents foreign policy.
 In one of the greatest non-partisan debates the Senate has seen in years, Chairman Stone of the Foreign Rela- tioas Committee, declared he was not in accord with the President. while Senator Lodge. Republican, pledged his support to the Presidents deter ! their rights on the high seas. Senator John Sharp William, arising from a sick bed, delivered a whitening denun- citation of the Presidents opponents.
 While the Senate debated came news to the State Department from Berlin which convinced officials that dissension of Congress is being used deliberately to weaken the Presidents hand in Germany. Confidential advices state a report is being circulated in Berlin that Congress stands five to one against the President. Senator Gore, while the Senate sat in amaze ment, related a story that President Wilson, at a conference with Congress sional leaders a week ago. had de- clared that Germany's insistence on her position in. the submarine contro- versy probably would result in war, and that a state of war might not of itself and of necessity be an evil to this republic but that the United States by entering upon the war now might be able to bring it to con- clusion by midsummer and thus rem der a great service to civilization"
 Senator Gore claimed that he did not say the story was true but it came to him in such concurrence of testimony he did not feel he could discharge his duty as senator and withhold it". Chairman Stone replied that the President had never stated to him, or in his hearing, that he in any way entertained thought of war with Germany as desirable or likely to result in good to the United States.
 When the White House heard of these incidents the following state ment was issued: When attention of the White House was called to certain statements in Senator Cores speech this afternoon. the President author ized an unqualified denial of any ut terance to which such meaning might be attached" The House and Senate leaders are conferring tonight in plans to back up the Presidents poli- cy in tomorrow's session.
