Washington April 6.-War with
| Germany began at 113 this afternoon
when President Woodrow Wilson af
fixed his signature to the joint reso-
luton which passed the house of rep
resentatives at 8. o'clock this morning.
Immediately after the vote had been
recorded in the house the resolution
was taken to the senate and after
being signed by Vice-President Mar
shall went to the White house.
The news that the resolution had
been adopted by the house was
flashed by government wireless to the
warships at sea and to the different
military stations. From the state de-
partment the news was taken to the
Swiss legation for transmission to
Germany.
An all day and nearly an all night
debate preceded the adoption of the
resolution by the house. The unex-
pected opposition of Democratic Lead
er Kitchin encouraged other oppon-
ents of the war measure and prolong-
ed the discussion hours beyond the
limit that had been fixed by admin

81 German merchant ships interned
in United States ports The ships,
which are in all the important ports of
the country represent total tonnage
of 594 ,696. The ships can be easily

The House debated the war resolu-
night For the most part the discus.

tional acquiescence, scores of men,

themselves on record as reluctantly

honor.
During the day the debate revealed

votes against it gave place last night
to reports that the opposition might
muster upward of 100 on the final roll
call, and supporters of the resolution
that the number of votes in
the negative probably would be more
than so.
This surprising accession to the min
ority ranks was attributed to the ef-
forts of Democratic Leader Kitchin,
who took the floor and in a dramatic
speech announced that he could not
with clear conscience vote war. Sup

Indications are that there will be a
large enrolment at the Polytechnic
this fall. 1t is expected there will be
two and possibly three good sized
companies besides the military band.
In a communication from the west

that the department is much interest
ed in military training in educational
institutions and that such training is
of great benefit to the institutions
themselves, to the student body and

MIGHT BE WORSE

Bad as is the outlook for crops in
Montana, some comfort can be drawn
from the official announcement that
conditions might be worse. That in
substance was the report of John H.
Rich, chairman and federal reserve
agent for the district served by the
ninth federal reserve bank at Minnea-
polls. The report says that there is
much speculation as to the influence
upon banking and commercial inter-
ests resulting from crop damage in
Montana in July. The best informed
authorities, Mr.. Rich says, are inclin-
ed to take a favorable view and be-
lieve that adverse conditions will not
develop during the present year. Mon
tana is in better shape to stand the
damage from heat and drouth than
North Dakota. After two especially
good years, and a period during which
livestock and wool have commanded
high prices, there is no reason to sup
pose that the buying power of the peo-
pie or the general prosperity of the
state will be impaired. Mr.. Rich adds
that it is noticeable that those who
are in banking and commercial bust
ness in Montana are not pessimistic
over the future and are taking the
losses of the present crop year philo-
sophically and with a considerable
degree of optimism.
That is in accord with much of the
comment of newspapers published in
agricultural sections of the state.
Heavy losses in most sections are ad-
mitted. On the other hand, the pros
poets for high prices are good, and in
some counties crops r turning out
better than we expected a few weeks
ago. This is notably true of Mussel-
shell county, where winter wheat will
yield better than was reported last
month. In the irrigated districts of
the state crops are better, although by
no means up to the standard of most
years.
In California, particularly in the
northern part of the state, crops are
exceptionally heavy The acreage in
most states is larger than in past
years, so that with only half a crop
where shortages are reported there
still will be a fairly large aggregate
yield.
Montana crops this year are disap-

ASSIST THE C~HAUTAUQUA

Affording, as it does, practically
the only outdoor amusement offered
residents of this city in the heated
summer months, the Chautauqua
which opens today for a weeks en-
gagement, should be accorded a splen-
did patronage.
The various numbers on the pro-
gram have been accorded the most
hearty appreciation in other cities Of
the state and it is safe to predict a
similar result in Glasgow if the peo-
pie only realized the numerous treats
in store.
Every number on the program is of
exceptional class, and the offerings
are so varied that the most fasti-
dious must perforce find a pleasant
hour or more in store. The future of
the Chautauqua in this city depends
upon the success of the present en-
gagement, and Glasgow cannot afford
to make such a sacrifice.
By purchasing a season ticket, ad-
mission rates are made SO low that
there can be no cause for complaint
on that score. Even for those who are
periodical visitors and purchase sin
gle admission tickets, value received
is a guarantee of the management.
Glasgow should respond generously
in this as in other calls that have
been made. Capacity audiences will
do much toward advertising the city
