No matter whether you elect him
governor OF Indiana or vice president
OF the United States twice. he is still
Tom Marshall.
At the beginning OF the extra session
OF the senate, when a wrangle started
as to whether the senate was a con
tinuous body. whether 1t could take
up legislation without the other legis-
lative body being In session, whether
the old rules still held and the former
committees were in existence, the vice
president thus expressed himself:
The chair presumes hat he IL the
only good humored person anywhere
just now. This Is just fencing around
the situation, and n very unsatisfac-
tory situation.
From a personal standpoint the
chair does not like these rules. He
thinks they ought to be changed. He
thinks there ought to be some method
devised whereby the presiding officer
may at least have the poor satisfac-
ton OF being enabled to determine
whether a motion is In order or Is not.
But the senate is the exclusive Judge
of the qualifications Of its members
and Of its own rules. The chair wishes
they were changed.
THE chair cannot believe that, after
fifty years OF recognition OF these rules
as the standing rules OF the senate, on
mere objection they can be swept out
OF existence and that ninety-six men
who represent forty-eight sovereign
states are here under no rules and
under no authority whatever. having

Washington, March l9-tSpecial i
The interest which has continued since
election over the control Of the organi
zation of the next house OF representa-
tlves has become intensified as the
time approaches when speculation
must cease and the members must de
termine the question.
Neither OF the majority parties can
organize the house and elect a speaker
unless a majority of the independents
vote with one or the other party. The
independents are not required to take
sides and may sit back and let the
Republicans and Democrats fight 1t
out.
Both parties have been %anxiously
watching the health reports OF sick
members, as the possibility OF nonat
tendance OF one or two men might give

OF both parties as TO what they will do
under certain conditions.

SUBMARINE FIRES TORPEDO
AT AMERICAN DESTROYER

| NEW YORK, April IA German
submarine today fired on the destroye,
Smith about 100 miles south of New
ork.
The presence of enemy submersi
bles in American waters indicated tina,
the threatened German submarine
blockade of American Atlantic ports
las begun.
First information Of the encounte.
came TO the Navy Department in n
roundabout way from the Boston navy
yard which picked up the Smiths re
port saying she had been fired upon
by German U-boat
The Navy Department, after CON-
munication with Ire Island, Boston,
New York and some other points on
the Atlantic coast, announced that the
report of the Smiths encounter had
been substantiated by official investi.
cation.
Whether the presence of the Ger
Liam submarine merely foreshadows d
sporadic raid such as the U-53 conduct
cd off the New England coast or
" neither it is the signal for the begin
ming of a general submarine blockade
OF the Atlantic coast is not known
The attack by the U-boat is Ger
many's first recognition of the state
OF war declared by the United States
1t was stated in Germany soon after
the action of Congress that no aggres-
sive steps would be taken against the
United States.
Practically no American officials be-
Ilieved this statement, however, AMI
Steps to meet aggressive movements
we're at once taken The probability
Of submarine attacks on unprotected
seaboard cities and towns, raids on
shipping within sight Of American
shores, and a submarine blockade of
the principal: Atlantic ports with the
purpose of terrorizing shipping and
people were expected.
Last week word came to Washing
ton in a roundabout way that Germany
was about to declare prohibited sub
marine zone about the harbOrs at Bos-
ton, New York and Delaware Capes
Chesapeake Bay, Charleston and Sa-
yannah This would have included all
the important ports on the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t was said then that an
official warning to neutrals Of the pro-
hibited zone would be issued from Ber-
lin.
Some American officials were disin-
clined to credit the report, but the
Entente diplomatic corps here believ'
ed in it and predicted that Germany
would soon carry the submarine cam
paign to this side of the. Atlantic

TERRIFIC BATTLE OF STATIONS

In a sanguinary battle at Bashford
Manor stud in Jefferson county, Free
Lance, winner of the Latonia Derby in
1912, was killed by Ralph, another stall
lion, owned by George ]. Long. The
two stations occupied adjoining pad
docks at Bashford Manor. Some one
left the gate leading to Ralph's pad
dock open and Free Lance wandered
in. Ralph at once charged to meet
him. Round and round the paddock
they fought like wild horses. Free
Lance was so badly injured that he
soon died. Ralph is expected to re-
cover. Mr.. Long valued Free Lance at
$4,000.

HOW U. S. CAN
AID THE AllIESl

LONDON, April 19-Admiral Sir
John r. Jellico, former commander of
the british grand fleet. and now FIRST
Sea Lord, informed an American cor
respondent during the course of an in.
terview Monday that anything and
everything in the way of small craft,
from destroyers to tugs, would be the
most useful contribution that the Unit
cd States could make to the war
against German submarines.
In this connection the First Sea
Lord asserted that the best hunting
ground for raiders is on this side OF
the water, as the possibility of German
submarines operating on the American
coast is almost negligible unless they
lave base on that side.

Washington, April 3.-War plans,
military, economic and financial, for
aggressive hostilities against Ger
many, were rushed forward today by
the administrative branch Of the gov
eminent and only await action by con-
gress on a war resolution to be put
into execution.
Enactment of the resolution not lat
er than Thursday was confidently
forecast at the capitol after delay OF
"a hours had been caused in the SEN
ate by Senator LaFollette's opposition
to it's immediate consideration. De-
bate will begin in both houses tomor-
row, with action before adjournment
probable. Sentiment in favor of the
resolution is almost unanimous and
the only question is how much time
shall be devoted to speech making.
President Wilson and his cabinet
went over the war plans and previous.
ly the national defense council, with
its civilian subsidiary organizations
developed policies and details of mo
mentOus consequence to the nation.
Meanwhile the war and navy depart
ments were going ahead with the most
immediate preparations for defense.
Already the navy has taken steps to
insure cooperation between the Amer
; lean fleet and those of the entente al
lies, to become effective upon the for
NAL entry of the United States into
the war. The most important plans
under preparation by the administra-
ton include:
Enlistment by selective CONSUMPTION
of young men for a national army, in
addition to the regular establishment
and national guard, in increments of
100000 until enough have been trained
to make certain the defeat of Ger
many.
r Organization of the nations COM
mercial interests for economical and
effective distribution of commodities
among the civilian population.
Rapid provision of adequate means
of combating the submarine menace.
The raising of large sum Of
money, as much as possible to be OBJ
tanned by taxation, and the definite
amount of the first budget not to
be fixed until the exact needs of the
army and navy and the entente
allies are ascertained.
Purchase of supplies and equipment
of all kinds for the army under a
provision of law which allows the Sc
rotary of war to fix REASONABLE
price,"
Division of the young men of the
country into service classes, those
needed more in industries than in the
army or navy to receive an insignia
showing they are performing duty
equivalent to fighting.
Most of these plans will require the
authorization of congress but from
opinions expressed at the capital it is
