STONE WILL SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT
Right or Wrong the Senator Says
He Will Stand Square Back i.
of President Wilson.

Washington, ID. c., March 12.-
Guoting Commodore Decatur
immortal words-"My country
right or wrong'-Senator Ston
of Missouri today announced tina
he would stand sq,larely back o
the President if the arming o
merchant vessels would result il
war between the United State!
and Germany.
Although rcitcrating his disap
proval of the administration :
armed neutrality policy, the Sen
ator said if the die is east and
hostilitics should result he would
not swcrvc in his fidelity to the
Government. His whole manner
indicated Il belief that war could
not long be escaped. He gave the
impression that he viewed the fu-
ture with feeling akin to horror
hut would loyalty meet the issue
if it came.
The senator was seen after his
return from the State Department
where he had been called by See
retary of State Lansing for Il con
ference. The request for an i'll
tervicw by the Secretary removed
all doubt of the intention of high
Government officials to continue
to discuss international questions
with the Missourian.
Earlier in the day the Demo-
crats of the Senate had revealed
their confidence in Senator Stone
by rcnominating him for chairman
Of the Senate Committee on For
cign Relations. Not Il dissenting
vote was east in the caucus and
there was not the slightest cvi-
dencc of either surface or under
surface opposition.
The conference between Sccre-
tary Lansing and Senator Stone
had to do with the proposed rati-
fication of the Colombian treaty.
This treaty now pending before
Senator Stones committee, calls
for the payment by the United
States of $25. 100000 to Colombia
for the strip of land used in build
ing the Panama Canal.

Carranza is President by Big Vote.

Mexico City, March 11.-Gen.
Vcnustiano Carranza was today
elected President of Mexico by
what is believed to have been the
largest vote ever cast in the Re
public.
| Although the voters had the
privilege of writing or declaring
any name they desired, Gen. Car
rama received all but a few scat
tcring ballots. The estimated vote
is from several hundred thousand
to Il million.
The presidential election today
was provided for in articles adopt
ed by the Constitutional Assem-
bly, which met at Queretaro. Many
of the old residents declare this
was the first real election ever
held in the country. Reports i'll
dicate that there was no disturb
ance or intimidation.
Although there was no opposi-
ton for the presidency, the con-
gressional contests were bitterly |
fought.
Conditions at the polls through
out the district were orderly and
there was a steady stream of vot-
crs during the day.
Troops were not in evidence, the
soldiers casting their votes in Il
their barracks. i
Mexico will now have a Consti-
fntional President for the first
time since 1911. Gen. Victoriano

GERMANY Is BUSTED" TOO
Financial Famine is as Bad a
Food Shortage, Washington
Hears.

/ Washington, March l0.-Gcr
many's financial system is stag
gcring to the breaking point.
This, coupled with growing
shortage of food that pinches
more and more, is gradually
squeezing out the endurance OF
the German nation and bringing
the end Of the war nearer.
These facts are revealed by in
formation in possession Of this
government tonight. This infor-
nation, tending to verify the
mcagcr news of approaching
starvation coming out OF Ger
many, stresses the financial side,
however, more than the food sit
uatjon. AS to the latter there are
conflicting evidences, though all
show that starvation may come
only as II matter of months, pro-
vidcd the war continues. j..
But on the financial side there
is evidence that Germany is prac-
tically "kiting" her checks. She
is draining the gold of the whole
nation and, having no access to
her ordinary outside credit agen-
-cies, she must virtually 'rob Peter
to pay Paul''-making one loan
stand as payment for another.
National bankruptcy will result it
the war goes on much longer.
Hence. while the American arm
ament of merchantmen presages
war or Il state of war. peace prob
ably is really just beyond the hor-
iZOn.
The food situation is pictured
as extremely depressing. Short
rations are the portion every
where. American Yarrowdalc
prisoners complained that their
fare was Scanty and poor. The
real story is that they were kept
on rations that stripped the flesh
from their bones. Germany can
not adequately feed her own folk
much less give prisoners ample
Official information shows the

'rrasingly growing worse, though
not yet quite to the point of actual

SENATORS FOR SHORT
SESSION
Having Carried Point Some are
Willing to Go Home.

Washington. March lO.--llav-
ing forced the President to call an
extra session, several Of the sen
atOrs who were most insistcnt
that they be in Washington dur
ing the international crisis now
say they favor an agreement to
limit the business at the extra sc>-
sion called for April 1G to the pas
sage of the appropriation bills that
were ditched. They favor ad-
journine after passing these meas
urcS.
Apparently the feeling is that
the Senate has shown the Presi-
dent that he had to call it and now
is willing to let it go at that. The
President has the clOturc rule to
show as his trophy of his clash
with the upper house of his legis-
laturc, so both sides can claim vie
tory in the contest.
"A meeting will be held Monday
to try to make bargain regard
ing what is to be- taken up at the
extra session. Already enough
feeling out has been done to in
sure the plan u favorable recel \
ton, both among the Democrats
and Republicans, it is said, and
with the new cloture rule the ma
jority can put things through and
quit when they get ready to,
Speaker Clark says the calling
of the extra session means that
Congress will be in session until
August, 1918. A Republican lead
er in the Senate-one of the men
who believed most strongly that
the President should be forced to
call an extra sessiOn-said regard
ing the House:
"The House is not going to pro-
long this session. Unless the Pres
ident insists upon his railway
legislation there won't be any
need for staying long at the April
session. If he does take up the
railroad legislation his hope for
getting rid Of Congress during the
trying times in the German situa-
tion win GO glimmering.''
