BACK WILSON'S
Cogress Votes 276 to I42 TO Follow
Presidents Plan.

Washington, D. c., March S.-Pres-
ident Wilson's conduct of foreign af-
fairs and more particularly his stand
in the submarine controversy, for the
right of Americans to travel the high
seas unmolested, was Endorsed late
yesterday by the House of Represen-
tatives.
Thrise repeated on as many roll
calls, the peoples branch Of Con-
gress sent a message to the world that
there are no divided councils in the
Government of the United States on
this vital and much-discussed issue.
Coupled with the action Of the SEN
ate last week in voting down the Gore
warning resolution and correlated
measure in the upper body, the ballots
cast in the House yesterday give am
pie notice to all European belligerents
that the great majority of the nations
lawmakers recognize the constitution
al prerogative of the President to
speak for the country on all matters
touching foreign relations.
The statement published in Berlin
and other capitals of the Old World
that Congress stood 5 to / against
the Wilson policy was r~epudiated by
yesterdays record. There v was
any basis for the report and it was
believed every time the legislators had
an opportunity to give an expression
to their convictions.
In the best way possible under
preliminary procedure, the House, as
did the Senate, disposed of the ques-
ton as to whether Americans as neu-
trails are within their rights under in
ternational law when they embark on
the merchantmen, Of a country at war
which are armed for purposes Of de-
Tense.
Although in many speeches made
both by advocates and opponents Of
the motion to table the resolution of
warning sponsored by Representative
McLemore of Texas opinions were ex-
pressed that Americans should not
needless risk involving the country
IN war by travelling on armed shibs.
the preponderance of sentiment was
that the United States should not
yield any right given it by the law Of
nations.
The final vote which placed the Nc.
Lemore resolution permanently in the
discard indicated the temper Of Inc
House. It a Ayes, 276; nays, 142,

row margin of profit, traders say.
The price paid shippers for horses
now is: Cavalry horses, $1S5 a head;
light artillery, $155. and heavy artill-
cry, $3.50.
The contracts are made with the
stockmen by New York ! brokerage
firms, which have them from the for
eign Governments. One contract
which France let provides for the de-
livery at Hayre, France, Of the hor-
ses, before they are accepted by the
Government. Horses sold on this con-
dition cost the French Government
1910 a head, it is said.
The prices now offered by the East
| Side commission firms are lower than
they formerly paid. They were re-
duced when the French cut their pur-
chase prices. The British have been
out Of the market Since Nov. 16, last,
and have informed the commission
firms, according to an official, that
hey do not expect to buy any more
horses during the war. They now
have many thousand head in Canada
being fed until they are needed.
The French, Italians and Belgians
are still buying. The French take
800 a day, the Italians 100 and the
Belgians 80. More than 100000 horses
have been bought at the East Side
yards by the allies since the war be-

Judge Henry ]. Dulle of the Dulle

been making inquiry among the farm
ers Of Cole and other counties and
finds that the concensus Of opinion is
that the wheat is in excellent condi-
ton and has suffered no injury.
A large acreage was sown last fall.

L. V. Dix, who is n Of the largest
and most reliable fruit growers in
Central Missouri, says the peach crop
ha been badly injured by the winter,
but that all other varieties of fruit
give promise of a good crop. The cold
snap. when the mercury dropped TO
70 below zero, damaged the peaches
badly. Prior thereto there has been a
warm spell Of weather, and this start

caught them. Mr.. Dix believes there

excellent gains. The feeding wa
carried on for 5 months on snap corr
