 Now this man was off duty. He couldn't have been censured if he had said to himself, "This is none of my business. Eve done my days work and and Pm through. Let the night force attend to It."
 Instead, he called up to the road master of the surface line, told him what had happened, and asked per- mission to get crane from the yards ana clean up the obstruction. In an hour this man had cleared the track, whereas, if he had gone on home it would have taken three or four hours to do it."

 The screaming whistles now filled the midnight quiet, the bedlam grow ing deafening as they neared the house.
 Then commotiOnal sounds from the hall, and a dozen firemen trooped in, their heavy boots clattering over the hardwood floors. Without even glanc- ing at Warren or the superintendent, they swarmed about the window and tore out the sashes.
 Rip out that cornice," ordered the chief. "On the top there-where it's burning!
 With devastating ax, recklessly they chopped loose the heavy white molding.

 "No use my saying anything" shrugged Mr. Thompson. You can't do anything with firemen.'.

 Heedless of the spattering damage, they turned on the extinguisher. This was more than Helen could stand Forgetting her dishevelment, her tum- bled hair, and the nightgown Tapping about her bare ankles below her negli- gee, she ran over to the chief with a tremulous:
 "Oh, please don't let them splash that panel! The whole room'n have to be done over."
 Watch out for that panel, Mike" Then to Helen: This isn't tea party, lady. We're here to put out the fire !"
 But there isn't any fire now" con- batted Helen under her breath, as she picked her way over the debris.
 Standing by the side window, she could see the snorting engines below. Although it was after midnight, the street opposite was lined with people, their upturned faces gleaming white in the darkness.
 With gruff brevity the chief now or dered two men through all the other apartments to examine the awnings and easements for any chance sparks
 If you can't get in-break imp he shouted after them.
 One of the fire patrol was now talk ing Warren's name, his office address and the amount of his insurance.

Washington, April 6.-Presi- dent Wilson at 1:1O o'clock to- day signed the resolution of Con gress declaring a state of war between the United States and Germany.
 All the naval militia and naval reserves were called to the col Ors with the presidents signing of the war resolution.
 The president signed the resO- lutiOn with a pen handed to him by Mrs. Wilson and which he will preserve. The act was done in the executive mansion. The president then went to lunch, and later to the cabinet meeting.
 All army departmental post commanders in the United States and insular possessions were notified by telegraphic or ders from the War Department. The message conveyed no in- structiOns.
 By signing of the resolution, the war which Germany actual ly has been making on the Unit ed States for many months is recognized in Officia form, and the United States thus annOunc- es to the world it's determina- tiOn to take what President Will son characterized in his address to Congress as to Germany's challenge to ali the world, her war against humanity. :.
 Speaker Clark had signed the resolution soon after it passed the House in the early hours of this morning, and Vice President Marshall had signed it soon af- ter the Senate convened at noon. The engrossed copy was sent at once to the White House. It was waiting for the president when he returned from a short walk with Mrs. Wilson.

The Proclamation.

"Whereas, the Congress of the United States, in the exercise of the constitutional authority vested in them resolved by joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representa- tives, bearing date this day, that the state of war between the United States and the imperial German gov ernment which has been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared;
 "Whereas, it is provided by Section 4067 of the revised statutes as fol- lows:
 "Whenever there is declared a war between the United States and any foreign nation or government or any invasion of predatory incursion is per petuated, attempted or threatened, against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or gov ernment, and the president makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of hostile nation or government be- ing male of the age of IA years and upward who shall be within the United States and not actually natur- alized, shall be liable to be appre- hended, restrained, secured and re- moved as alien enemies.
 "The president is authorized in any such event by his proclamation there of, or other public acts, to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States toward the aliens who become so liable; the manner and

GERMAN SHIPS MAY CARRY SUPPLIES TO
 ENt MES OF KAISER
100 Vessels in American Ports Taken Over-Most of Them Fast Liners Built as Auxiliary Cruisers.

Washington, April 6.-While a final decision has not been reached, indi- cations after today's cabinet meeting were that nearly hundred German merchant vessels taken over in differ ent ports today win be regarded as the property of the American govern ment and paid for after the war.
 The vessels laid up in American harbors for safety at the outbreak of the war in Europe were seized early today immediately after the Houses passage of the war resolution. Their crews will be removed to immigration detention stations, there be treated as aliens admissible to the country if able to pass the ordinary immigration tests. The fact that many are naval reservists will not serve to bar them.
 There were indications today that damage done to the ships by their crews when relations between the United States and Germany were broken will be repaired as early as possible and the ships put into the transatlantic trade to transport sup plies to the allies.
 The total tonnage could not be built in American yards in less than year, and some of the larger ships, notably the Vaderland, could not be produced in the United States in several years.
 All of the ships will have to be dry-docked before they can be made worthy. Bureau of navigation officials pointed today to practical difficulties that will delay repairs in that the ships will fill the countrySs dry docks for some time to come. The great Vaderland, with a tonnage of 54,000, is too large to enter any of the American dry docks, and will have to be lowed to Balboa to be docked. The earliest time estimated to put any of the vessels into service is three months. Many of them can not be repaired that soon.
 A final decision as to the disposition of the ships probably will be made within a few days. A brief statement issued by the treasury department to- day said they were being taken in charge for the purpose of protecting them and other property. Officials said an intelligent use," would be made of the vessels, and that they either could be used as naval auXil- iaries or as merchant ships. Most of them would make excellent troop transports. Fourteen of the largest and swiftest could carry 10000 troops which is twice as many as could be transported by the entire available

der the regulations was ordered at once by Attorney-General Gregory, and department of justice agents throughout the country immediately began to gather them in.
 The Senate passed an appropriation of $10O,000,0OO to be placed at the disposal of the president for imme- diate was expenses, and Congress committees began the whirlwind con- sideration of a mass. of war legisla- tion.
 The president and his cabinet re- viewed the plans worked out by the navy department for active co-opera- ton between the navy of the United States and the entente navies.
 The cabinet meeting likewise went over in detail the problem of supply ing the civil population and keeping the nations industries intact during the period of the war

American merchant fleet.
 Some officials said today that the ships could not be taken over by the United States formally and put into service without an act of Congress. They said, also, that there was a strong likelihood that if put into ser vice they would be operated by the shipping board, which under the law is authorized to charter and operate ships.
 If the United States decides to send an army to Europe, the ships will prove invaluable
 Bureau of navigation officials said today that use of the German ships would add 200 per cent to this coun- try's ability to land trained men in effective numbers in Europe.
 Most of the fast German liners are built as naval auxiliaries, with gun platforms, re-enforced decks and steering gear below the water line.
 Actual seizure of the vessels for military purposes, officials say, will greatly strengthen the American fleet.
