PEACE LEAGUE BACKS WAR
Promises Support Of War Making
Measures of Congress.

The League for World Peace today
promised its support OF the war
making measures of the United States
because the basic question is, "Shall
our earth be ruled by progressivism
or reactionism-the peoples govern
ments or the oligarchies."
In a resolution presented to Presi-
dent Wilson by George H. Shibley,
president of the league, it was stated
that the allies, in response to the
Presidents request for peace terms.
"came out squaTely for freeing the
captive nations of the central en-
pires' to form a permanent federation
OF nations. The central powers, 1t
was said, controlled by the reaction
ist few, refused to agree to the free
ing of their captives."
The letter blamed the war on Ger
many, and declared the underlying
cause of the war against this country
is the reactionism of the ruling few in
Prussia and Austria-Hungary.
There is no middle course" the
statement concluded, now that all
the large and powerful nations are
lined up"

in a curtailment of foreign loans, ex

many.
In any event. officials closely in
touch with Latin,American sentiment
declared all other Americans would
remain neutral, no matter what
course was adopted by the United
States. The Argentine press today
was without comment on the extra
session call in the United States and
the warlike preparations started
there.
Henceforth Argentina's foreign pol
icy will be under direction of Fer
nando Saguier.> His acceptance OF the
portfolio was announced today. Per
sOnally Saguier is pro-ally. but il is
generally understood he will be mere

Wilson in a letter left at the White
House today by Mrs. Jessie Hardy

. Two Representatives OF the cooper
ating committee. OF which Mrs.
Charles EdYard Russell is chairman,
conferred yesterday with Assistant
Secretary Brahany, who suggested
the President be advised by letter OF
the commIttee's phn for mediation.
The President is urged to, bring
about an agreement between the men
and President King OF the railway
company and recommend to Congress
that the lines be taken over by the
District government.
The letter. signed by Mrs. MacKaye
as secretary. was not made public.
The committee has little hope, even
II the President should intercede, that
the street railway company will

SCORE LOST ON HEALDTON
Standard Oil Tanker Sunk Without
Warning In safety Zone"

LONDON. March 23.-At least a score
perished in the unwarned sinking by a
German submarine OF the Standard Oil
tanker Healdton. according to latest in
formation available here today.
The ship was torpedoed twenty-five
miles north of Terschelling. Holland. in
the middle OF what has heretofore been
announced by Germany as one OF the
safety zones" in the barred area.
Thirteen survivors have been landed at
Ymuiden. Holland. Of total OF more
than forty on board the vessel.
One Holland dispatch today reported
survivors es declaring that three life
boats left the sinking Healdton. Two OF
these. one with seven men and a second
with thirteen men. were picked up. The
third, reported to contain twenty-one
men. is still missing.
Not all of the Healdtons crew were
Americans. and II is not stated in Hol-
land dispatches whether those missing
were citizens of the United States. Some
dispatches from Ymuiden declared al
least a dozen men had been killed or
injured by the explosion Of the torpedo
which sank the Healdton.

MAY NOT CONSULT STONE
Predicted President VIII Not Take
Senator Into His Confidence.

AS an aftermath OF the recent nil
buster in the Senate against the armed
neutrality bill, wherein Senator stone,
Chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, fought the measure and
opposed the Presidents demands, it is
predicted freely about the Capitol to-
day that the President will not take
Mr. Stone into his confidence in the
new and more acute situation which
has arisen.
Indications are stronger than ever
that the President will consult pri-
marily with Senator Martin of Vir-
Einia, chairman of the Senate Demo
cratic caucus and Democratic leader
of the Senate, when it comes to impor-
tant problems of policy respecting the
German controversy.
The view is entertained almost
unanimously in Washington that
while this country will not openly de-
clare war, 1t will, either by formal ac-
tion or by its course with respect to
preparations for eventualities. recog-
nize the existence OF a state of war.
In any event, Senator Stone has not
been taken into the confidence of the
Administration. He is in the city.
but he has not been called to the
White House for counsel.

.TAKOMA WOMEN ARE
KEENLY INTERESTED
Adopt Resolution Demanding
Neutral Arbitration of
Street Car Strike.

The children OF Talxoma Park went
hungry yesterday.
Their customary Thursday lunch
prepared for them by mother, was
missing. No maid, no lunch, no
mother.
Over in the sunny front parlor of
a house on Butternut street were the
truant mothers. trying to settle the
street car strike.
Takoma Park women became so
tired of the results of the trouble
that they gathered together yester-
day morning. in the front parlor of
Mrs. Zon of Butternut street and
adopted a resolution which they are
going to submit to the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
They even invited the strikers
wives to come and talk to them.
They hope to have women of other
sections OF the city follow their ex-
ample. and by getting both sides to
tell their story, demand and receive
settlement.
For they feel most deeply over the
situation.
According to a statement made by
Mrs. Burdette, of Takoma Park, who
spoke rather informally at the meet
ing. the women in Takoma don't care
anything about the strikers or their
rights, or the company or its rights
There merely want the cars to run
when they should, how they should
and they want this Immediately.
Yesterday was the maids day OF,
and the children were coming hame
for luncheon at -. but II was long
after that hour when the last ONES
left.
The strikers wives talked and the
women talked. While some stood Up
for unions. others didn't, and both
company and strikers were soIn1ly
basted by the tongues OF the outraged
suburbanites.
Don't Favor Partisan Arbitration.
They at last decided that what they
wanted was a resolution.
Here'it is, just as IL was adopted:
1--WE, the women of Takoma Park,
fearing that IL is not safe for our
,seIves or for our children to travel
way and Electric Company as at pres
ent run. wish to go on record as de-
manding. as taxpayers and patrons of
the line. a speedy termination OF the
strike by submitting the differences
of the men and the company to a
TRULY neutral board of arbitration.

TAMPER WITH CAR TRACKS
Strike sympathizers Cause Several
Interruptions of Traffic.

After several days of quiet in the
street car strike, several attempts
were made last night to tie up ser
vice on Washington Railway and
Electric lines by tampering with the
tracks.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock a car of
the Maryland line struck a piece of
iron in the slot in New York avenue
near Fifth street northwest. Service
was halted.
A Ninth street car struck a wooden

was slightly damaged, and the car

BOTH SIDES IN CAR
STRIKE SATISFIED"
W. R. & E. Company and Men
Announce Readiness to Hold
Out to the Last.

The twelfth day of the strike on
the lines of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company found the
company and strikers both entirely
satisfied with the situation"
Both announced that the conditions
which prevailed today would con-
tinue indefinitely, and that the COM
pany and strikers were prepared to
hold out to the last against each
other.
The company's officials say they are
not thinking about the strike, ana
are not conscious OF the fact that q
strike exists. The officials said they
were building an entirely new or
ganization of employees, and that the
company is now independent of the
strikers.
At the headquarters of the union,
however, it was declared that the
company is losing so much money
every day that il cannot continue the,
battle. Motormen and conductors on
the Capital Traction Company lines
today facetiously pleaded with the
strikers to lend the trouble, because
you are working us to death"
Rush On Capital Traction.
The Capital Traction employees said
they were handling larger crowds on
their cars every day than they hand
led during the recent inaugural per-
iod.
Some persons have the erroneous
impression that the strike is over"
said George A. wilburt, president OF
the union. THAT is the biggest mis-
take in the world. The strike is in
full force and effect, and nobody
knows that any better than Clarence
P. King, president of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company.
The discharging of 200 strike
breakesrs was done for the effect IL
would have on the strikers and the
public. Neither has been fooled or
misled by il. The strikers are stand
ing solidly together. and are not re-
turning to work, as the company
StaIes. Every day we receive the sup
port of scores of additional men and
women"
Strikers to Receive Checks.
Garth Calderhead. financial secre-
tary of the union, today sent a list
of the names of the stri'-a-- to the
national headquarters of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees of America.
Each ofs the strikers will receive a
check for IS probably next Monday.
by which time the men will have been
on strike two weeks. The payment
of $5 a week to each stri- i--Cr will con-
tinue indefinitely.
Members of the union who are oper-
ating titneys along the routes trav-
ersed by the company's cars. declared
today that strike breakers were
throwing broken glass on the streets
to puncture their tires.
Announcement was made at the
Central Labor Union today that next

than 200 strikers and women will sell
tags to raise money for the unions
members.
