Delegates Recommend to the National Convention. Root Taken to Task for Criticism of President.
The contest for tn,

 The following delegates to the. Ma tional Convention were recommended 1: United States Senator O'Gorman, Geo. J. Meyer, Buffalo; Samuel Untermey- CT, New York attorney. It also adopted a resolution for the re-elec- tion of Norman Mack, of the Buffalo Times. as National Committeeman. The delegates, who comprise New Works big four, are not pledged but were nominated with the under standing that they work for second term for Wilson.
 The keynote speech. delivered by Governor Glynn, aroused much en- thusiasm. In addition to commenting the actions of Wilson. he replied to criticisms of the President and his foreign policies made by Elihu Root in the recent Republican state conven- tion in New York.
 Denying that Root was the Keeper of the national honor, Glynn added that for years Mir. Root was the star performer in peace conferences and yet condemns the President for main- taining peace. From a cooling dove MT. Root has suddenly transformed himself into a sweeping hawk for war. Years ago enthusiasts of BO- hemia took the skin of a patriot, stretched as a drumhead, to rouse their followers to war. So Elihu Root would stretch the skin of the victims of the Lusitania drumhead to rouse our kindly sympathy into q cruel frenzy for war. Root may beat his drum and blare his trumpet, but the President will go right on winning the plaudts of the American people, appealing to the reason, sense and humanity, and by keeping the United States as the champion of the neutral world"

WILSON WILL INSIST ON RECORD
 VOTE
President Will Take Matter Before Nation if Necessary; Would Demonstrate United Support to Germany.
OPPOSITION CHIEFS
 RAISE WHITE FLAG
United States Not Satisfied with Latest Assurances of Germany; House Machin- cry in Deadlock.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-Presidenr that he will consent 10 nothing less than a record vote on anti-Administra- ton resolutions 10 warn Americans off armed ships of European belligerents before he goes on with the submarine negotiations There will be no con- promise proposition such as a vote of confidence in the Presidents foreign policy accepted.
 Such action. it is held. might be con strued by Berlin as justifying the opin- ion that the President lacks the sup port of Congress and his own party in his demands for full observance of in1 ternatiOnal law. while it's only purpose will be to afford members of Congress a way to avoid recording their posi- tions before the country on straight out proposition.
 The President made his position clear as the climax to a day of confus- ion and political maneuvering which marked he opening of his first real feh; in Congress As if 10 emphasize the Presidents attitude he made known that the United States does not consider the latest assurances of the German ambassador as broad and sat isfactory as those originally given.
 II is apparent that some of the lead CTS who secretly supported anti-Ad- ministration forces and under Admin istration pressure pocketed their reso- lutions in committee when there was danger of their being adopted realized suddenly gained the whip hand. Prac- tically the entire control of machinery in the House under these leaders was held in deadlock all day while they sought a proposal satisfactory 10 the President to still save their positions. Word came from the White House that there will De no compromise Con gress will meet tomorrow facing clear cut issue with the President.
 The possibility that an effort to sup press the vote may be successful will not be overlooked by the Presidents friends. although they are confident his course will prevail. They say. however. that if Congress seeks to a. void the issue the President will not hesitate to take the case before the country

ARTILLERY DUELS IN
 THE ALSACE REGION
Russian Fighting Light; Ital- ians Take Austrian Posi- tions; Germany Issues Ul- tirnatum to Portugal.

LONDON, March 1-Germans in the battle scared region of Verdur continue their bombardment along the west of the Mouse between Melan- court and Forges,t across the river eastward about Vaux and Dam LouI and against the French trenches in the Woevre region. The big offensive so far as infantry attacks are concern ed have ceased for the moment Whe- ther they will begin again or not is not indicated by official reports from Paris and Berlin.
 It is possible the Germans are draw ing up their b fig guns to the captured positions with the object of smelling points near their objective-Verdun East of Verdun the French have bonn barded the German positions in the Lepretre wood near Thiacourt Ar tillery duels are being fought in Al sace. There has been no resumption of German attacks in the Champaign region.
 One effect of the German offens- i've is shown in the lengtheninS of the British lines to release the French for endorsements of the army opposing the German advance. The latest off cial reports show the British line ex- tending south to Lens and north of the Somme. and showing a stretched front of between thirty and forty miles to the region of Aimes.
 There is little fighting in Russia. On One Italian front the Italians have oc- cupied the Austrian positions at Mt. Parmolada. Germany has sent an ul- timatum to Portugal demanding re- lease within hours of interned steamers seized by Portugal, accord ing to dispatch from Madrid.

|S PROPOSAL FOR
 MILITIA
Industrial and Technical Re- serve May be Included in the Bill for the Federalization of National Guard.

WASHINGTON. March I - The legislative framework for a far-reaeh- ing, industrial. technical reserve in support of the militia's fighting line in war time was sketched in the House Committees preparedness pro- gram. It was suggested by Congress man Kahn. of California, as an amend ment to the provision pending in the army increase for a Quarter Masters Corps reserve and adopted without ob- jection.
 The plan contemplates not only an effort to enlist a reserve in. peace times of teamsters, mechanics, rail roaders, chauffeurs and other non-com batants necessary to the army, but extends its scope to include aviators, ordnance engineers, workers in muni- tion plants, wire operators, civil, elec- trical engineers and every civil profes- sion useful to an army in war.
 The reservists will be regularly en- listed as reserves in fighting arms, liable to assignment for duty by the War Department in time of war. It is expected the measure will be com- pleted tomorrow, but a new effort to increase the strength of the standing army will precede the vote. Another change was proposed under which the maximum peace strength will be 200,- O0O double the present authorized army

WASHINGTON.
