upon completion of the morning busi-

men, this afternoon said he would not

The fact that Col House has just re-

House Committee Wants to Know
Source Of Representative Gard

Aesuggestion that the House naval
committee undertake to find the source
in the Navy Department or fleet from
which confidential information as to
target practice has been made public
was made today by Representative
Oliver during the committees hearings
on the administrations plan to in
crease the navy. Admiral Fletcher,
commanding the Atlantic fleet, was
again under examination, and Repre-
sentative Britten submitted to him a
chart purporting to show what the
ships actually did last year at target
practice.
He said he had been requested to sub
NIT the chart by Representative A. 2.
Gardner. who made it public some
months ago.
Representative Oliver declared he was
anxious that the source of Representa-
tive Gardner's information be disclosed
and suggested that Mr.. Gardner be called

"Traitor to His Country"

CALL IT WILSON VICTORY
French Papers Pleased With Han
ding of Armed Ships Controversy.

PARIS, March 6.-Great pleasure at
what is generally called "a Wilson
victory over the German Americans
is unanimously expressed by the
French press. regarding the submarine
armed ships controversy in America
The Senate's action, according to the
Journal, shows that the American peo-
pie are behind their President The
same writer remarks:
THE mechanicism of the American
Constitution has worked to perfection:
that of the initiative, which belongs
to the President. and that of control
over this initiative. which belongs to
the Senate. have worked in harmony.
The House of Representatives can now
only pass A vote of sentiment"
According to the Petit Parisien, the
vote will make a profound impression
on the European neutrals. ''as it Is the
greatest neutral which has spoken"
President Wilson. according to the
Figaro. now is armed by the Senate
and is certain to act.
The opinion is expressed by GauloiS
that after this President Wilson is
hardly likely to settle differences with
Germany automatically. "as it is clear
that American opinion will not stand
for American citizens being sent to
the bottom of the sea. whether the
vessels they sail by are armed or not"

Makes Non-Partisan Plea.

President Wilson appealed directly to
Representatives Bennet and Lenroot,
republican members of the House rules
committee, today to consider the armed
ship issue without partisan bias and
assist in getting vote on a resolution
warning Americans off armed ships.
For an hour he discussed the 10 =
situation with the two republican
members and told them of the neces-
sity of demonstrating that reports
abroad that the majority of Congress
was not with him are erroneous.
After the conference Mr.. Lenroot
said the republicans had no intention
of bringing party considerations into
the issue. Both he and Mr.. Bennett
refused to discuss the details of the
conference They left the White House
to attend meeting Of the rules COM
mittee.

Kitchin Declines Invitation.

Efforts were made not only to invite
men regarded as particularly friendly
to Mr.. Bryan. but also to draw repre-
sentatives from as many different sec
tions of the country as possible. Thus
leaders in the movement believed a-bet-
ter general view of the situation might
be obtained.
Majority Leader Kitchin, who shares
many of Mr.. Bryan's views, including
those on anti-preparedness and wapn-
vited but declined on the ground that
hc had an engagement Mr.. kitchin
spent the greater part of the morning
in conference with Representative
Shackleford. the unofficial leader of
the warning resolution advocates.
Again Discussed in Senate.
With the reading of an editorial from
a New York paper. stating that when the
President called upon the Germans in
the Senate" to stand up fourteen sena-
tors had "stood up on the vote on the
Gore resolution last Saturday, the armed
merchant vessel question was dragged in
to the Senate discussion again TODAY
Senator McCumber of North Dakota, one
of the fourteen senators who voted against
tabling the Gore resolution, had the edi-
torial read by the clerk.
II do not think that the editorial
fairly represents the sentiment of the
fourteen senator's who voted against
tabling the Gore resolution" said Sena-
tor McCumber. addressing the Senate.
A few moments later Senator Jones
of Washington read from literature
sent out by the Citizens League for
America and the Allies" urging the
United States to break off diplomatic
relations with the central powers, and
"fearlessly await the consequences"

Representative Adamson
Asks All Parties to Keep
Hands Off Foreign Affairs

| On the eve of a vote on the McLe-
more resolution, which will show the
strength of the Presidents support in
the House, Representative Adamson of
Georgia issued a statement appealing
to democrats and republicans alike to
keep hands off, in the diplomatic ne
gotiations. Representative Adamson's
views, it is said, will have great weight
with many wavering democrats from
the south who had been confused to-
day with the entry of William Jen-
nings Bryan into the controversy.
Representative Adamson said: 1T is
obviously imprudent; and more. it is
foolish, reckless and unpatriotic, for
citizens of the United States to take
passage on vessels of either belliger-
ent. If those citizens regard admoni-
ton as more impressive than torpedoes
and haven't already been sufficiently
advised, there is no objection to their
being warned in thunder tones from
the President. cabinet, congressman and
all the people to avoid international
complications and danger by abstain
ing from patronizing those ships, ex
cept in cases of imperative necessity.
1t is not for the illogical reason, how
ever, assigned by those who are urging
that Congress give that warning.

HOUSE TO DISCUSS
ARMED SHIP ISSUE
Four-Hour Debate Tomorrow
Is Program of Rules
Committee.
MEMBERS ASKED TO MEET
Mr.. BRYAN AT LUNCHEON
Presence of the Former Secretary Of
State Is Confusing to Both
Sides.

The House rules committee to-
day agreed upon and will bring
into the House tomorrow spe-
cial rule for four hours debate on
the McLemore resolution warn
ing Americans off armed ships of
the European belligerents. This
action puts the much discussed
resolution into a parliamentary
position where administration
leaders are confident they can
kill it.
The presence of William Jen-
nings Bryan in Washington at
this crucial moment in the fight
to gain a supporting vote for the
Presidents armed ship stand is
puzzling leaders on both sides OF
the controversy.
Neither side is exactly sure of
the weight of the influence which
the former Secretary of State can
throw against the President. The
cross-currents under the surface
have made a clear view of the
situation almost impossible.
Forced Allies of Bryan.
There are many democrats who
would not follow Bryan single step
who now find themselves in the posi-
tion of being allied with him against
the President. Just how many of these
members will now support the Presi-
dent because of their antipathy to Bryan
is as much of an unknown quantity
as the question on Saturday as to how
many democrats would vote with the
republicans Many leaders on the dem
ocratic side are free to say that the
presence of Mr.. Bryan here at this time
does not help matters in any way-it
simply confuses the issue"
Rumors that the rules committee was
in deadlock over what sort of a rule to
present to the House is partly re-
sponsible for a meeting of eight re-
publicans in the office of Representa-
tive Gardner of Massa achusetts this
morning, resulting in petition later
circulated through the House asking
support for the proposition of getting
the McLemore resolution the floor
with straight out-and-out vote on
the merits of the resolution. The re-
publicans who met with Representative
Gardner were Representatives Rogers
of Massachusetts, Green of Massachu-
setts. Green of Vermont, James of
Michigan. Gray of New Jersey and
Plat of New York.
When the House convened the McI.e-
more resolution. by request of Repre-
sentative FoN of Illinois. was put on
the calendar. This was because ii was
discovered that the foreign affairs COM
mittee action of last week had placed
the resolution on the table.

"Intermeddling of Congress.

The intermeddling of Congress is as
plications as is the folly of the citizens
in riding on ships of the belligerents.
The point is. which all pariots ought
to see plainly. that it is the Presidents 8
business to manage diplomacy concern
ing our foreign relations and that Con-
gress ought to do and say nothing un-
til the situation should assume such
shape that the President would be COM
PEELED to call on Congress for action. 1t
is not necessary for Congress to be-
come nervous and try to anticipate
that sort of situation and try to take
action before the necessity arises. If
we attend to our own business that
crisis may never come. The President
has steered us clear Of trouble pretty
well for the last eighteen months. and
if Congress will let him alone he will
so continue, in my judgment"

Gore resolution, declared he. did not be-
lieve the editorial expressed the views OF
the sixty-eight senators who voted for
the motion to table. He said he believed
every senator voted conscientiously for
the best interests of the country.
Senator Gallinger asked If the sena-
tor from Pennsylvania thought that for
Congress to vote it's opinion that
American citizens should be warned of
armed merchantmen would be to in
terfere with the constitutional privi-
leges of the executive.
NO" replied Senator oliver. mot II
the senator believes that to be his duty.
I do not believe lit is
Senator Gallinger expressed the opin-
ion that such a warning should be is
sued. II do not wish war;" he said.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio had read
to the Senate a letter addressed to him
by Secretary of State Lansing to the
effect that the official record showed
the British government had not warned
its citizens not to travel on merchant
men of belligerents during the Rus
sian-Japanese war, as has been stated

patriotic, But Misguided >

Those patriotic. but misguided agita-
tors wish to follow the warning with
declaration that the government would
not be responsible for the consequences
which would be accepted as our license
to destroy American citizens at will. The
truth and logic of the case is that the
citizens ought to keep off of those vessels
for the reason that their injury thereon
might involve their government ,and
country in trouble. 1t is an interna-
tionai right of any neutral or non-com-
batant to ride on any merchantmen or
liner. which is a ship of commerce hurry
ing from port to port and seeking no
fight whether armed or unarmed, and is
not battleship, nor, like a battleship.
carrying no commerce, but seeking a
fight.
THE question now, however, is not
what the language or substance of our
action should be, whether for or against
the Presidents position, that is imma-
terial-lt is none of the business Of Con-
gress to interfere with diplomatic rela-
tions at all.
