SENATE VOTES
LATE TODAY
PASSAGE OF BILL AUTHORIZING
ARNlIN(s OF MERCHANT SHIPS
PRACTICALLY ASSURED.
POWER IS FAR REACHING
Bill Gives President Authority 10
Use Guns, GuIiners and Other
Instfumentaiities to Protect
Americans on High Seas.
WASHINGTON. March -.

WASHINGTON. March g.
The senate viii vote late today
ON the Wilson request for power
and approval to use gums, gum
ners and other instrumentali-
tics to protect American lives
and interests on the high seas.
BY vote that predicts speedy
passage the senate today decid-
ell to begin consideration Of this
measure as soon as the half bill
lion dollar appropriation bill Is
out OF the way.
II is expected that debate will
last anywhere between six and
eight hours, but the resolution
which President Wilson ap-
proves is fully expected to be
passed.
The house bill which elimin-
ated the words "otiler inStru-
mentalities" win likely he shelv-
ed and the full senate resolu-
ton sent back as substitute.
1t is also expected that the
house will put the resolution
through, leaving 1t up TO the
president TO sign 1t to make II
a law.
Immediately after signing
It he is expected to Issue an ex-
ecutiye order placing guns on
American ships. Three inch
guns, manned by naval and ex-
naval gunners;. will be placed on
the ships which will be sent out
under the American flag, and
any hostile act upon them will
be considered an act OF war
and dealt with accordingly.
A most pressing need felt Is
to show Germany she cannot
drive American commerce from
the seas by a submarine block
adc. The navy department has
guns in the Brooklyn. Philadel-
phia and Norfolk navy yards
ready for ar,ning the ships, and
plenty of ammunition is stored
in the same yards.
Ii is planned to arm four OF
the American line ships since
President Franklin was most
urgent in having the law passed
and has asked that hts ships he
armed. The big ships will he
armed with 6-inch guns, which
weigh, including guns, hreech
and mechanism, 1D.4s7 pounds.
The smaller ships VIII be armed
with a-inch gums which weigh
2,2.5 pounds.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Austro-Germ
attacks on the Italian front have
ceased entirely, says an official dis
patch from Rome. Although the Teu-
tonic invasion was launched under
rain and snow the German press ex-
plains the sudden inactivity to un.
favorable atmospheric condition. The
truth is, according to the. dispatch
that the Italian army, reorganizd al
ter the crisis, is now holding the line.
Another Offensive Started.
Another offensive by the enemy on
a still larger scale is believed immi-
nent and the Italians are preparing
to meet it.
''The enemy has tried to break
through our line at every point" says
the message. 1t appears clearly that

Italians beyond the Piave by syste-

quist has telegraphed Secretary of
War Baker that a reopening of deci-
sions of the Minnesota Public Safety
commission in the street car contro-
versy, as urged by Mr. Baker, as mat
tiers now stand, would be surrender
of government by reason of riot and

The governor refused to accept fed

ating his former stand that such in
reference now would result in an
attempt to defy a duly constituted
authority of Minnesota.

to assist the special sheriff's deputies,

In the midst of war England has

rebuilding her school system, of re-
turning to shorter wOrkday in her
factories and of encouraging the up
building of the child welfare agencies

the war, notes the Red Cross Maya
zine. Sir Herbert Fisher asked in par
lament last spring for an increase Of
f3,S29,0O0 over last years educational
budget. The committee on juvenile ed
ucatiOn has recommended general
fourteen-year age limit for leaving
school throughout England with the
abolition of all exemptions, and the es-
tablishment of day continuation

and eighteen with compulsory attend
