srate Battalion. District National
Guard. went through their usual drills
and other military routine today.
In the meantime the troopers from
the Second Cavalry and three companies
of marines continued on guard duty In
various important vulnerable places in
the District
Major James z. Walker, commanding
the First Separate Battalion. said today
that while his men were fully equipped
and ready to take assignment to duty
on less than a moments notice, the
unexplained delay in issuing the neces-
sary orders would be beneficial. Every
hour the orders are delayed gives the
soldiers opportunity to get themselves,
their equipment. clothing. and impedi-
menta in better shape for long, hard
service, he said.
Today the colored soldiers showed
signs. OF getting restless and were
eager TO go on guard or take any
duty selected for them.
More than sixty would-be recruits
have filed application for enlistment
in the battalion. They will not be
actually enlisted until the War De-
partment issues instructions author
izing the recruiting of the organiza-
ton upon to maximum strength.
Major walker expressed the belief
today that Immediately after such in
structions are issued the battalion
will be fllled I its utmost compliment.
The members of the battalion are
sleeping in the several National
Guard armories. and each man is al
lowed 15 cents a day for meals.
The drills held by the four com
panies today found the men full OF
snap and action and At for service.

SIGNS OF DEBATE IN SENATE
Stone, La Toilette, and Norris Ex-
pected to Fight War Resolution.

Signs of long and animated debate
in the Senate over the proposed war
resolution began to loom up today.
In the House. a resolution to recog-
nize a state of war can be quickly
handled under a special rule. In the
Senate. the new limited cloture rule
will prevent any long filibuster, but
there will be debate and opposition.
Senator Hitchcock's conference with
the President, and his representation
that the middle West is for peace and
that Congress should pass a resolu-
tion supporting armed neutrality and
authorize preparedness to continue.
leaving a war resolution for the fu-
ture, have attracted much notice.
La Toilette Against Resolution.
Senator Hitchcock had charge of
the armed neutrality bill and he be-

should be followed for the present.

Foreign Relations Committee, Is eX-
pected to oppose a war resolution.
Senator La Toilette. one of the will.
full group who fought the armed neu-
trality bill in the last Congress- is
against a war resolution. How far
he will fight is not disclosed. But he
has come out in favor of calling a
conference of neutrals and may be eX-
pected to express his views at length
on the floor.
Norris Opposition, Expected.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, now in
the West supporting what he did with
respect to the armed neutrality bill.
is generally counted on to oppose a
war resolution.
With Senator Stone out of favor at
the White House because he opposed
the armed neutrality bill, and with
Senator Hitchcock not at all enthusi-
astic for a war resolution, the ques-
tion recurred today as to who would
take charge of the Administration
measures relating to foreign policies
on the Senate floor. Senator Mitch
cock, IL was supposed, would do so.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, Demo
cratic leader. evidently is the man in
the Senate on whom the President
chiefly will rely.

TO RUSH BUDGETS
Necessary Bills Due to Meet Little
Delay On Hill.
Want at Least Brigade.

That some of the most necessary
appropriation bills will be rushed
through House and Senate at the
opening of the extra session with but
slight delay became apparent today.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House
Appropriations Committee. plans to
push the sundry civil bill and the
general deficiency bill to passage, il
possible, in practically the same form
in which the measures passed the
House last session. This will entail
the least possible delay.
Senate Appropriations Committee
leaders are expected to further this
program in a general way, reserving
as usual the right to amend appro-
priations measures in the Senate.
Martin Out of City.
Senator Martin, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee. is
out OF the city but is expected to fa-
vor expediting of the appropriation
bills which failed last session.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that il deficiency
appropriations were needed. as they
doubtless would be. in addition to
those in the general deficiency bill.
NC Pdsseu idteT IN another
deficiency measure.
Point of Difference,
One OF the points of difference be
tween House and Senate last Congress
related TO the appropriation of $780,
600 for an investigation by the Fed
eral Trade Commission into high cost
Of living. 1t is expected an appro-
priation for this purpose will be al
lowed in the extra session
Two Of the appropriation bills
which failed in the last Congress are
under the control OF the Military com
mittees of House and Senate, not the
Appropriations committees. These
are the army bill and the military
academy bill. They also will be
rushed.

oS ~
this will be the overshadowing prob
lem as soon as the war Congress
D.. convenes is predicted generally to-
day.
Want at Least Brigade.
On the one hand will be men who
will contend the United States should
not be content with a war of dollars
and a few naval vessels. This Gov
ernment, they will argue, cannot hon.
orably war a conflict of treaure but
no blood.
The dispatch of at least a brigade
for the effect it may have upon re-
cruiting here and the moral effect
1T may bring in Europe-probably
will be urged at the outset OF the
discussion.
Opposition to this will be predicated
probably on the theory that IL the
United States sends an army to Eu-
rope this nation necessarily must sit
in the war councils of Europe. Ameri-
can movements will be subject to Eu-
ropean dictation IL there is to be q
real alliance and out OF this may
come entanglements against which
this nation has been warned from
the beginning.
OvershadOws Issue.
Altogether indications are the issue
OF "HOW shall we participate in the
war" will overshadow SHALL we
participate" when the Congress con-
Venes.
With the arrival. of Col. Z. NJ House
al the White House the belief was
general today that President Wilson
is rapidly whipping his message into
shape and has called in his personal
friend and adviser to go over some of
the details of il.
In addition to outlining the course
OF events which has led up to the
present situation with Germany, the
President will recommend for imme-
diate passage legislation which failed
TO get through the last Congress
The revenue legislation will occupy
an important part of his address,
along with the militant measures
necessitated by the crisis.
