This will be one of the most important gatherings of association men held in the state in many years. A new state organization will be perfected and Alabama will have her own state secretary.

fairs committee will report. After re- ceiving assurances today that enough votes were available to defeat reso- lution on the floor, the leaders bent all their efforts to drafting such measure. When the foreign affairs committee met late today the report on the administra- tion poll was not at hand and it seemed so unlikely that the committee would report any of the warning resolutions before it that Representative Harrison, the administration committee leader moved an early adjournment.
 Tonight Chairman Flood. who was one of the White House conferees on the night the President was supposed to have made statements attrouted to him by Senator Gore, issued this statement:
 The President never mas said anything in my presence that coufd be construed as jutifying the report heard by Senator Gore that war would not be unwelcome to the President On the contrary, the President has said he ~.as working night and day to keep the country out of war Recently several members of the House asked me if the President said the same thing that Senator Gore attributed to him today and I answered no fatly"

WOULD PREVENT TROUBLE

My judgment is," Senator Gore replied
 that the warning would serve the pur-
 poseS of inducing American citizens not
 to embark on armed vessels and that
 there would be no danger of trouble be-
 ing thus encountered"
 Senator Clapp, republican, suggested
 there was no difference in the principle
 of refusing passports to Americans to
 travel in the beligerent nations and to
 travel on armed merchantmen. The state
 department in January, 1915, he pointed
 out issued a letter stating that it did
 not deem it advisable to issue passports
 for Americans to visit belligerent coun- tries for pleasure, sightseeing or tour
 ing.
 Senator Gore declared there was abso-
 lutely no difference and challenged sena-
 tors to show one.
 Senator Oliver, republican. declared
 that in one case the state department
 was exercising it's normal functions and in the other the Congress would be in- truding upon the duties of the executive. 'If the President had always been per nitted,' said Senator James, Ito handle this question without the impression be- ing created in Germany that he did not speak with the nation behind him, we might have gotten Germany to agree that the lives of all neutrals should be protected on the high seas.
 Senator Gore retorted he appreciated the implication, but declared he consd- cred 'the worst of all towards was one
 who lacked the courage to do right
 PROPOSES ADJOURNMENT Senator Stone, at the opening of the session today. proposed an adjournment
 to take the Senate out of recess, in whicf it has been working, so as to clear the parliamentary decks for vote on Sen ator Cores resolution
 Senator Stone said from the floor that he and President Wilson were not in ac- cord on the issue.
 "A sharp issue has been defined be- tween Germany and Great Britain as to the status of armed merchantmen" saio Senator Stone. "Germany contends that armed merchant vessess are the equiva- lent of auxiliary wal vessels and has announced her policy to be that after March 1 armed merchantmen would be regarded as warships, anc subject to the rules of warfare She mas announced hel intention to carry out that policy. "On the other hand Great Britain con- tends that under international law, mer- chantmen have the right to be armed for defensive purposes. and that armed mer- chantmen are entitled dnder the law to the same immunity a, unarmed ships without regard to cargo.
 "That is the issue between these two governments.
 Now where does the United States come in. In this way: If both persist in their courses, neither yielding to each other nor to the importunities of neutral nations, and if Germany attacks an armed
 merchantmen and any American citizen
 is injured. the question IS presented to
