URGE SPEEDY ORGANIZATION
OF THE LOWER HOUSE

NEW YORK. March iI.--An appeal
for the speedy organization of the
House OF Representatives. so the
country may be prepared for war was
issued to-day by Frederick &. Tanner,
former Republican State chairman, and
william Church Osborne. former Dem
ocratic state chairman. II is addressed
To party State and county chairmen
throughout the nation The letter
says:
For thirty months American lives
ana American property have been mem
aced on the high seas. The German
government has now formally notified
our government of its intention to
deprive us of the right 10 travel and
to trade. Twice before this country
has gone to war in defense of the very
right which We are now notified is to
be taken from us.
Under such circumstances the last
session or tho Congress came to an
emu without the passage Of any bill
providing for an adequate army, or for
compulsory service 10 provide soldiers
and sailors. IT left undetermined the
question OF arming and conveying ships
and other important matters.
We urge on you that the two great
parties IN this State should join in
a coalition movement 10 secure tho or
eaniZation OF the House on lines which
Will enable IL TO get down to work
without weeks or months spent In
wrangltng over the speak ership or COM

Increase for 1916

capped by incomplete or incorrect in
formation led 10 the statement at the
State Department yesterday that de-
lays in tha American censorship AT
SayvilIe have been eliminated. and that
news was now going forward by wire
less direct.
Ever since the break in relations the
German officials have complained that
they did not know what was developing
In the United States. and that they were
entirely dependent on indirect reports
censored in England. For days the
German Foreicn Office professed to he
lieve that German ships in this country
had been seized, German sailors in
termed and various other unneutrsl acts
committed.
Officials say there viii be no basis
for further complaints. special
effort is being made to expedite wire
less dispatches to Germany More
over, the Swiss minister is permitte ed
10 send certain amount of news to
Germany While it is not known dGfi-
nitcly If he has sent reports of Presi-
dent Wilson'S decision to arm American
merchantmen. officials say there would
be no objection to his doing 80, pro
