Bill Falls Short of Wilson's Desires, and Senate Will Make it Stronger - Voted $1O0, ,OOO, ,O00. CONGRESS QUITS
 PLAYING POLITICS Alarmed Over Disclosures of German, Japan and Mexi- can Conspiracy, They Rally to President.
(By Review Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, March | - Aroused by the disclosure of Ger many's plot to unite Japan and Mexico with her in a war upon the United States and then con vinced by official evidence of It's authenticity, congress today aban doned the delays and Instructions which have checked President Wilson's efforts to be clothed with express authority to deal with the submarine menace.
 Bill Only Half Good
 The house, after a ten-hour de- bate and by an overwhelming majority. passed bill to empow- CT the President to arm merchant ships end providing for hundred million dollars bond issue. The bill, however, does not contain the grant of authority to use "oth- CT instrumentaIities" which the President specifically desires and would prevent government war insurance for munitions ships, a prohibition which the President does not approve.
 Senate to do Better
 When the house bill is received in the senate tomorrow, the sen ate bill which the administration fully commen6s, will be substitut- ed, and that is expected finally to be accepted ny both houses as the law.
 official announcement was made al the White House today that the ad inistration stands behind the senate bill, first, last and all the time" witl it's provision for "other instrumental tics" In the senate an attempt to ask the President to disclose the gov ernments source of information oi the intrigue between Germany. MeXi co and Japan on the supposition that 1t came from one Of Germany's enc mics was defeated after a sharp and debate. Instead the Sen lte merely asked for official notice oi the authenticity of the despatch of instructions from German foreign minister Zimmepnann to German

Double Tracking and Numer- ous Extra Switches Needed Immediately for Possible Moving of Troops. RESERVE MATERIALS
 ARE ASKED BY ARMY Railway Men Retire to Work Out Plans for Transporting Army of 5OO,000 To Any Point Promptly.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-Heads
 of the country's leading railroad
 systems met here today with .he council of national defense to ap- prove plans for giving the govern
 ment the full cooperation of transportation interests in the event of war. They came at the call of Daniel Willard, president
 of the Baltimore & Ohio, and a
 member of the councils advisory committee of seven. Tonight they were returning home to work out cooperation details with com
 manders of the country's four military departments.
 The executives present council on defense of the American Railway As sociation and with them a national de fense committee of the National Elec- tric Railway Association.
 R. R. Vital in War
 After Q call on Secretary Baker the railroad men heard army officers on Transportation problems and then dis cussed the situation among themselv- 70. -as lO olLC Dl Secretary Baker told them the trans portation problem in war is the n'ost important the military will face. Of the cOuntry's state of defense, he said:
 Ocean Won't Protect Us
 We have gone on in this country for 8 long time in the somewhat con- placent assurance that the Atlantic Ocean is 5000 miles wide, the Pacific 15,000 or something like that, and that we are separated by nature as we'll as by traditions and our own desires from any sort of difficulty But we have grown a lot wiser in the last few years on that general subject: and while l am quite sure that you regard the state of peace as most desirable. We are nevertheless concerned as to the means of accomplishing it's con- tinuance"
 Moving Troops Problem
 Moving of guardsmen to the Mexi- can border, the secretary pointed out, was a small problem compared to what the country would have to face if called on 10 move force of half a million men.
 Our problem there was to get 150. 900 men across this country from va

APPRECIATION WEEK

Appreciation week will soon be
here, and for the second time
consecutively concerted effort
will be made to have set forth
in an adequate manner the con-
ception entertained Of North Da-
kota, its present and its future
by citizens of North Dakota.
The newspapers will be the me
diums for the greater share Of
the public expression, but the
newspapers will have no monopoly
of this work. In the share of
the work which will be theirs to
do they must have the hearty CO.
operation of the people of their
respective communities, and
there is a vast and important
work to be performed along this
line in which the newspapers can
share only incidentally.
! Last year the churches of the
state played an important part in
the work of Appreciation Week.
The schol tok hold with a will.
Farmers clubs and civic organ
izations everywhere participated.
And thousands of individuals con
>tributed their quota. All of this
should be repeated and bettered
this year.
The work of Appreciation Week
has not been undertaken in a
boastful spirit. 1t is expected
that the praises of North Dakota
will be sounded, but only because
there is something to merit
praise. And the value of the
work will be great if it tends to-
ward a more thorough and more
discriminating knowledgeof our
own conditions, of the things
that are good, and how they may
be improved upon, and of the
things that are less good and how
their defects may be remedied.
