Prophecies Shattered.

There were supposedly wise men in
hour or two of the vote on the Gore
resolution, now a matter of compare
lively recent history, that the affair
was sure to be settled one way be-
cause it could not be settled any 9th.
er way. The prophets saw their
prophecies shattered within fifteen
minutes of their utterance. Some SEN
ators voted one way or another, and
then made speeches exactly counter
to their votes. The whole proceeding
was enough to distract the minds of
men who tried to get any logical de-
auctions from the course of affairs
and from the final vote.
The same condition of things was
resolution finally came under direct
discussion. This was a resolution
also intended to warn Americans from
taking passage on belligerent passen-
ger ships which had guns mounted for
defense. In the house, from hearing
the first speeches, a stranger could not
tell which was the Republican side of
the chamber and which the Democrat

The Preparedness Bills.


Take the preparedness bills for in
stance. During the preliminarles OF
the framing of preparedness bills in
house and senate the two committees
of the two bodies charged with the
work of preparing legislation were
shown to be completely at odds with
each other on the matter of the proper
handling of the subject in hand. The
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs wanted continental
army such as had been suggested by
the administration. The leader OF the
house committee on military affairs
was utterly opposed to the plan for
q continental army and was in favor
of a great Strengthening of the militia
and a comparatively small increase in
the regular army.
1t was impossible for anybody to
tell which of the two men in charge
of things would give way. Today
both the house and senate have re-
ported military preparedness bills and
while it was thoroughly believed at
the outset that they would be radical
ly different in all their provisions
there are some few signs of
coalescing of views, but the two meas
ures still are almost Numerically op-
posed one to the other.
There will be compromise of some
kind between house and senate on the
military preparedness bill and it is
perfectly apparent that there must be
compromises between the two houses
on other bills such as those affecting
the navy and on some other matters
of high importance. In the senate
there are many members who favor
the plan OF the house. So it is easy
enough to see how utterly impossible
it has been and still is for the proph-
cts to foretell accurately the outcome
on these big defense measures.
In the matter of the resolution warn
ing Americans not to travel on armed
liners belonging to belligerent coun-
tries, the membership in house and
senate has been divided not into par
ties but into groups irrespective of
party. The divisions in the two
houses show no trace of Republican,
ism or Democracy, but are both
marked deeply with the signs of both
parties. Old members say that never
in their memory has there been such
a mixing up of party friends and
foes on both sides of question as
there has been on this matter which
has created such sensation in the
country.
