which college professors, prominent
business men, national gaardIheh and

ended a peace meeting here last night.
David Starr Jordan of the Univer.

was the cheat speaker at the meeting,
which had been widely advertised as
under the auspices Of the American
League Against Militarism. He had
hardly started his lecture when the

Before the police had quieted the

city, engulfed the peace meeting. The
crowd, good natured and laughing in
the main, was headed by an American
Flag, and marched into the theater in
which the paciicists were gathered un-
der the shadow of the Stars and
Stripes. Many Of the most prominent
business and professional men in the
city were ip the invaders, and not a

rioting broke out. Names other than

freely between the leaders of both par

Special Session That Will Begin
Noon Must
Deal With Most Momentous
Question Since the Civil War


lAssociated Press BY federnl Wireless)
w ASHINGTON, April p
w The nation awaits the
special session Of congress, which
probably will announce to the
world today that the people of the
United States are determined to
tolerate no longer the outrages
committed against this nation and
against humanity by the German
government and yafe determined
to appeal to arms to end them.
On all sides it is evident that
the officials of the administration
realize that the question which
congress. has to decide today is
more momentous than any which
! has confronted this nation since
1.-THE sound OF the guns firing upon
Fort Sumter. &l
President Wilson has completed
his message to congress, and it
has been arranged that he shall
address the houses as soon as the
preliminary work of organizing
1.-THE house of representatives shall
have been completed. The out.
line of the Presidents address has
I.been, ,hinted at in the last few
days, and it is fairly certain that
he will tell the Legislators that
Germany's conduct has made 1t
impossible for this country longer
to bear with the insults and in
juries that the Kaiserbund has
measured out to us.
1t is also believed assured that
congress will act Immediately, and
! that action, whether it be formal
declaration Of war against Ger
many, or a resolution stating to
1.-THE world, that a state of war"
has existed for some time, will
have the practical result of placing
the United States of America on
| the side of the Entente Allies and
in open warfare with the German
! government. ,.':
In the meantime the army and navy
has been continuing to rush the prepa.
rations for actual fighting with all pos.
sible speed, and nothing that could be
done has been left undone at this late
date, to get the nation ready to meet
the emergency. ~ ."... ..."
The senate organization has been
completed, and that house win be ready
to begin work as soon as the Vice-Pres-
ident calls it to order at noon today.
The house on the other hand has still
to do the work of organizing. Though
the general opinion here is that Champ
Clark will be elected speaker of the
house ana the Democratic members are
confident, the Republicans last Satur-
day nominated Representative Mann as
their candidate for the speakership, and

On the amendment authorizing
government use of distilled spirits
there was no roll call and only a few
scattered nays were heard on the
viva voce vote. Originally proposed
by Representative Webb, of North

mittee, and was adopted on his mo-
ton. 1t says:
Webb Amendment.
''The president is authorized, if in
his opinion it is necessary to con-
serve necessaries, to require any per-
sons having control of alcohol and
distilled spirits to turn over to gov
ernment use for redistillation, such
proportion of solid alcohol or spirits
as the president may deem neces-
sary to meet the requirements of the
government in the manufacture of
ammunition and other military and

use of redistillation would dispense
with the necessity of utilizing pro-

PASSES FOOD CONTROL ACT
HOUSE ENACTS MEASURE BY
VOTE OF 365 TO5.
Far-Reaching Prohibition Provisions
Forbidding Use of Grain for
Manufacture of Liquors.

Washington, June 23.-The ad
ministration food control bill, givins
the president broad authority to con
troll the distribution of food, feed
and fuel for war purposes and apro
priation of $152, 100000 for it's en-
forcement and administration was
passed by the house late tonight af,
ter far-reaching prohibition provis.
ions had been written into it.
The vote was 365 to 5, Represen-
tatives McLemore, Slayden and
Young of Texas, Democrats, and
Meeker, Missouri, and Ward, New
York, Republicans, voting in the neg
ative.
Prohibition Provisions.
The prohibition provisions adopted
would prohibit the use of foodstuffs
for the manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages and would give the president
authority to take over for war pur-
poses all liquor now on hand. They
were put into the measure during
the evening in committee of the
whole and when the bill came up in
the house proper the anti-prohibition
faction did not demand that they be
voted on again.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where it will probably be substituted
early next week for similar meas
ure already under consideration.
Leaders hope to get the measure 70
conference by July l.
Few important changes were made
by the house outside the prohibition
section. The control powers of the
president were limited to articles spe-
cifcally mentioned in the bill instead
of giving him blanket authority; vol
untary aids in control work were
made subject to the penal provisions,
all persons in the food administra
tion except those serving without
compensation were placed under civil
service: and the president was re-
quired to make an annual report on
the operation of the bill.
Committee Of the Whole.
Action on the prohibition amend
ments was taken in committee Of
the whole. and opponents of the pro-
posals Immediately began mastering

cussion in the house proper.
