bic to secure here today it is un'

tically recruited to 60 Immediately
to France for work on the line Of
communications, and a forestry regi.
ment of 1000 men is being formed
to join the forces carrying the Amer.
ican flag to the French fighting lines
Mobile troops to the number Of
IL regiments now being gathered
at concentration camps will form
the groundwork Of IS additional
regiments which will probably
bring the regular army strength
up to 26S,00O. When this task is
completed there will be seven full
divisions of the regular army to
form the backbone Of the forces
from the United States.
At the divisional camps in the

BE PLEDGED TO WAGE WAR
AGAINST GERMAN EMPIRE
RESOLUTIONS ARE
ALREADY PREPARED

WASHINGTON, April s.-congress
met today to act on the Presidents re-
quest to declare that state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany. 1t is taken for granted that
both houses will pass the resolution
by overwhelming majorities, although
the pacifists were expected to offer
some opposition.
Senator Martin. the Democratic
floor leader, said that when the reso-
luton came from the committee the
Senate ought to act before adjourn
ing.
The Senate Foreign Relations COM
mittee approved the administration
resolution declaring that a state of
war exists with the German empire
i'm practically the same form that it
was introduced in both houses last
night. The vote was unanimous eS1
cept that Senator Stone voted against
it and Senator Borah was absent. SEN
ator Stone said he would not make a
minority report but expected to speak
against the resolution. Senator Hitch
cock, who will report the resolution
1 to the Senate today, will make an eff
/ fort to get it through as soon as pos
sible. He took the resolution to the
/ House Foreign Relations committee
and will try to get it put in the same
form there.
The resolution says that whereas
the German government has commit
ted repeated acts of war against the
United States, Congress declares that
a state of war exists and authorizes
the president to employ the entire ma
val and military forces and the re
sources of the government to bring
the conflict to a successful termina
ton, and that Congress pledges all the
resources of the country to that end
