Action on Submarine Situation
Put Off by Both Houses.
WIN. ]. BRYAN IS AGAINST PRESIDENT
Plain Talk Exchanged but President
Wilson Still Stands Solidly for
Full Rights of Americans.

Washington, d. C.-Congress settled
down Saturday to await developments
in the submarine controversy between
the United States and Germany with
an overwhelming majority of both
houses apparently definitely deter
mined to take no action which might
embarrass the administration in the
present stage of diplomatic negotia-
tions few of the more ardent advo-
Gates of legislation to keep Americans
off armed ships continued their activ-
tiles, and ex-Secretary Bryan's sup
port for them was shown in the form
of telegram, but even most of them
admitted there was no propect of i'm
mediate action.
So far as the administration is
concerned, it was said authoritatively
that while any agitation of the issue
just now was undesirable, there was
no disposition to oppose vote on the
pending armed-ship resolutions if their
sponsors tried to force one.
1t was declared that reports from
the capitol during the day showed con-
clusively that the senate and the house
would stand behind President Wilson
in his refusal to permit any abridge-
ment of the rights of American citi-
zens on the seas, as outlined in his let
ter to Senator Stone.
The President reiterated his state
ments in that letter to Speaker Clark,
Majority Leader Kitchin and Repre-
sentative Flood, chairman of the house
foreign affairs committee, early in the
day when they called at the White
House to tell Of the situation on their
side Of the capitol and hear the execu-
tive's views.
There was plain speaking both by
President Wilson and his callers. Mr..
Wilson said plainly that his efforts to
keep the country at peace were likely
to be hindered by impressions sent
abroad by congress, and the congress-
men were equally frank in giving
notice that strong sentiment existed
at the capitol against risking the pos
sibility of war by permitting Ameri-
cans to travel on armed belligerent
ships, whatever might be their rights
under international law.
Although wholly different reports
came from other sources during the
day, Speaker Clark declared he be-
lieved resolution to warn citizens off
armed vessels would carry in the house
by two to one If it reached vote.
The house delegation went back to
the capitol with word that the Presi-
dent stood unalterably by his position.
There the situation rests, and while
there probably will be many more con-
ferences and possibly some speeches,
the generally accepted opinion is that
no further serious effort to bring about
action will be made, unless develop
ments occur to make rupture of re-
lations with Germany imminent.

Hughes Refuses Views.

New York--In letter to Henry A.
Wise Wood, made public here, Justice
Hughes reiterates his declaration that
he is not candidate for Presidential
nomination. Mr.. Wood had requested
a statement as to Justice Hughes po-
sition on preparedness. Justice Hughes
replied in part; "In view of my judi.
cial office | do not feel that / have any
right to take part in any political dis
cussion or to make statements of the
sort that would be expected from can
didates for office. | am not candi-
date, actively nor tacitly."

Carnegie Plans School,

Dunfermline, Scotland-The trustees
of the Carnegie fund for the United
Kingdom announced after their annual
meeting Monday that they were con-
sidering the expediency of founding a
school of music on scale analogous to
the celebrated schools on the Conti-
nent, particularly those in countries at
present closed to British students. The
chairman of the trustees, DR.. John
Ross, said it was felt that after $3,-
100000 had been spent by the trus-
tees for church organs they reasonably
might terminate such grants.

Turks Reinforce ARMY.

London - Turkey is making great
efforts to dispatch troops to the Rus
sian front in an endeavor to recapture
Erzerum, says the Bucharest corre-
spondent of the Times.
All ordinary traffic on the railway
from the Bosphorus to Angora has
been stopped, according to the corre-
spondent, and trains carrying troops
and supplies there are running inces-
sanity, but as the distance from An
CORA to Erzerum will consume at least
a months march there is little likeli-
hood of the success of the movement.

Edict Worries London,

London - The newspapers discuss
with serious tone the new German sub
marine campaign which is expected te
begin Wednesday. There is general
belief that the campaign win mark
the entrance into the war of several OF
the newer and extended types of sub
marines, probably with greatly en-
larged radius of action and greater
offensive power. During the past
month Germany captured or sank so
vessels, of which five were neutrals,
two Italians, four Belgians, one
French and the remainder British.

The Middle Age.

There comes clear day when one
realizes that clothes are to keep the
weather off you, that food is to give
you health, that home is shelter and
inspiration; that, aside from being
clean and inoffensive, ones personal
appearance does not signify very
much; that the main thing in life is to
be going along toward the goal Of your
ideals. That isn't getting old, it's get
ting sense. From then on Time is not
master, but friend.-Colliers.

Potato Shipments 600 Cars.

Portland - Up to the present time
about 600 cars of potatoes have been
shipped from Oregon, and the indica-
tions are the total shipments for the
season will not exceed 1000 cars. Nor
NAL shipments from the state are
about 1900 cars year.
"There are between 400 and 500
cars of potatoes left unsold," said Nc
Kinley Mitchell, "and these will all
clean up at some price. There is no
likelihood the market will be any bet
ter in the immediate future, but there
is possibility the late market will
improve if California cleans up"
