HOUSE VOTES AID

and Gives President Power to Use

Assumes That War Exists.

Washing ton, June o4.---Consress yes.

the Mexican situation when the house
passed resolution, declaring the ex-
istence OF an emergency ana directing
the president TO draft the national
also appropriated $1,000,o0O to support
the families of guardsmen while they
are at the front.
Republican leaders forced the ad-
ninistration to yield part Of the con-
troll to congress and to ADMIT formally
that an emergency exists to meet
which the entire armed forces of tn.
United States are needed.
The vote on the resolution was 80
, to 2. The two members opposing it
were London, of New York, socialist.
and Huddleston, of Ala bama, democrat,
and successor to Senator Underwood
in the house.
Immediately after it was passed by
the house the Hay resolution was sent
over to the senate, where it was re-
1erred to the committee on military at
FAIRS. 1t is said that it will be re-
ported out the first thing today and
chat immediate consideration will be
asked by Senator Chamberlain, chair
man of the committee.
Insist War Now Exists.
The passage of the resolution was
preceded by vigorous debate in which
the republicans insisted that state OF
war existed and that the admnislra-
ton was really endangering the live4
OF Americans, both civilians and sol.
dlers, by continuing the pretense that
war does not exist.
Ihe democratic leaders denied these
charges with display of temper and
asserted that the situation is only in
the emergency stage now. They en-
pressed the hope that war would not
result from the authority given the
president yesterday.
In cloak room conversations the
democrats admitted that war is prau-
tlcally inevitable and that within a
few days or weeks, at the most. the
president will be compelled to ask con-
gress for authority to call for volun-
teers and to make an appropriation
adequate to support the armies in the
field.
Curb Power Of President.
The resolution as passed yesterday is
not the one approved by the president
and Secretary of War Baker, but one
redrawn to meet the demands of the
republican leaders of the house Tn.
original resolution authorized the pres
ident, whenever he believed an emer-
sency to exist, to draft the national
guard into the federal service.
The republicans contended author
ity was too broad, that it gave the
president the right not only to create
but to meet emergencies without the
approval OF congress and that it sur
rendered the war making power of
congress to the president.
