ingredient is necessary, he said, In er-
feet. and that is patriotism, but 1t IS
we'll to have it stirred by German
frightfulness.
"The synchronization Of German
frightfulness," he said, made the sue
cess of the victory war loan certain.
Just as Zeppelin attacks on London
started the first great rush to the COL
ors, the German promise OF undersea
frightfulness accentuated the great

try ever saw So in giving the peo-

chancellor insists that some credit be
allotted to the promulgators OF the

Asked why he had confidently un-
dertaken to raise the desired money
with a promise of a little more than
five per cent interest, when l-ondon,s 3
greatest tinanciers had declared 1t
would be necessary to pay. SIX per
cent he said:
"The bankers, as was natural, look

look twice at the question of interest.

He could have added that the differ
ence in interest saved the empire
more than s5O,OOO.0O0 a year.
There We're good reasons for not
allowing the interest rate to exceed
five per cent" he continued Through
the necessity of keeping up our eX-
changes, the value OF all money on
the London market has long been
higher than it otherwise would have
been. Exchequer bonds bearing SIX

before the issue Of the loan. II was
because of this high level OF money
that many financial men, most com

did not anticipate a failure in any

Representative Mann, minority lead

There was little indication Of divi-
sion in democratic ranks today when
democratic members of the house
ways and means committee met to

committee chairmen to present to
the democratic caucus Friday.
Democratic leaders professed be-
lief that the threat by anti-prohibi-
tionists to scratch the ticket because
of the way prohibition measures were
rushed through last session would not
be carried out. Democratic "wets"
have so far as is known, held no con-

Representative Caldwell, New

Leader Kitchin he is ready for a con-
ference with the rest of the party.
He refused TO discuss wet" plans
in any way.
House leaders spent some time to-
day figuring on the attendance they
will have on Monday when voting on

retically there will be 433 members
present, but leaders admitted full at

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Presi-
dent Wilson will have to be positive,
definite and specific In detail to get
what he wants from congress. This
is the impression today ION the
hill
A vast majority Of the forty per
cent of the new congress here ready
for the Monday opening, feel that
way about 1t. They say that if the
president shows any inclination in
his coming war message" to be too
general, or "timidly suggestive" Of
what he wants, wide difference OF
opinion will result and perhaps, dis
astrous delay in real program.
Congress leaders and the men in
the ranks. say. fatty that right now
the temper Of congress wants to be
told why he called them into extra.
ordinary session and what he wants
them to do about 1t.
With all pre-congress preparedness
steps now practically taken, the big
question Of voluntarily censored
Washington hinged today on what
the president will say next Tuesday
when he addresses the Joint session.
The congressional temper evident
among early arrivals was forged
back home" They all say they are
returning with completely reno
waited set of ideas especially grown
in the back hcme garden plots.
While this temper described pre-
dominates, there is also evidence that
some western members brought a
slight cooling Of the war spirit with
them. Certain representatives and
some senators, who have strongly
and openly opposed war with or with
out warlike actions toward Germany
ali along, still maintain that "a ma.
jority of the people don't want war"
They are ready, however, to do the
presidents bidding If he makes a
strong statement.
Speculation is rife as to what will
be the attitude of Senator Stone on
any warlike move asked of congress.
Stone, chairman of the foreign re.
lations committee. is really more Of
an enigma than the presidents forth
coming message, which remains to
be completed. Reports here today
are that Stone will fight openly and
bitterly against any more warlike
move than has already been taken
against Germany. Whether he will go
as far as he did in regard to the
armed ship resolution and abandon
his committee leadership to Senator
Hitchcock, is producing a lot of spec
ulation. Talk today is that the house

mules harness and the straps on the
"papoose packs" to the big six inch

Our so called second line Of de-

line. They are ready as they have
never been BEFORE" said General AL
bert J. Logan Of the Pennsylvania
national guard today.
On the Mexican border General Lo-
gan commanded the Second brigade of
Pennsylvania infantry and saw forty
thousand guardsmen from eleven 9th
er states being put through their
training. He speaks with authority
on the general condition Of the guard.
I'm addition to the regulars we now
have real army of more than $50. 900
men ready at an instant's notice to
spring forward for any sort Of service.
From the physical standpoint they
could not be in better shape. Every
man is hard and ready for hundred
mile hike under full pack.
while On the border the artillery
perfected itself in craftsmanship as
they could not have done under any
other conditions. The infantry upheld
the tradition that Americans can shoot
straight.
"As important as the condition of
the men is the increased efficiency of
our officers. For the first time in his
tory we had guard-full divisions in
maneuvers Most regular army men
had never even seen a full division in
maneuvers. Our officers learned how
to handle masses Of men. The long
hikes brought the men up to top notch
efficiency.
The service on the Mexican border
made up an army of seasoned troops
to back up the regulars"
