Zeppelin raids cannot have the slight
est effect upon the outcome Of the
war, but they will have considerable
effect upon the terms Of peace.
The British nation has shown admir-
able composure under the Zeppelin
"frightfulness," which has not produce
ed the results hoped for.
At first adequate defences were lack
ing, but now, by means Of innumer-
able stations fitted with special guns
and powerful searchlights. and night
flying machines, these raiders can no
longer visit this country with impun-
ity. The British have totally destroyed
eight Zeppelins and damaged others.
With regard to the heavier-than air
craft, Great Britain in the earlier per-
iods of the war gained supremacy
over the enemy which has been main
taiend. Evidence bears out the state
ment that comparatively few enemy
aeropiai1es are nov cver the British
lines. whilst British pilots are con-
suits In effective artillery work.
The air services are particularly at
tractive to the youth OF Great Britain,
and the supply OF pilots is equal to all
demands.
The strength Of the air services OF
the army and navy has expanded since
August 1914 to greater degree than
any other branch of the services.

Prior to the war, Great Britain's out

Plan of Raising Army.

Washington, April 5.-Means of reg
istering all single men between the ages
of 20 and 23 fixed under the universal
training bill and those to be exempted
were discussed today by the executive
council of the committee on labor Of
the National Defense council.
Cooperation with state and municipal
governments toward accomplishing this
work will be sought under general
plans of state aid in placing the govern
ment on a war footing.
1t apparently is the intention of the
war department to aim for an army
with two million men as its first OBJ
ject, the men to be raised in increments
of 100000 as rapidly as they can be
differed and trained. All single men in
the early twenties will be subjected to
the first draft under the plan.
Now that congress has nearly com
pleted its action on the war resolution,
there is beginning to be some uneasiness
over the universal training idea.
Think 1t Only Plan.
1t took the president o long time to
become reconciled to it and it was sew
eral weeks before the council of Ma
tiOnal Defense could secure unanimous
vote of its membership on universal
training as the best way to raise an
army.
Under the circumstances, democratic
leaders in congress predict rather ex.
tended debate on the question, but the
feeling that under the pressing circum.
stances it will go through more quickly
than in normal times.
Secretary of War Baker went to the
capitol today to explain to Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the senate

departments bill to raise an army OF
about two million men in two years by
compulsory service.
The measure has been approved by

sented to the military committees OF

President Wilson
Kept in Good Health
by Doctor GraySOn
BY Robert j. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, April 5.-On the verge
of war, at sixty years OF age, Presi.
dent Wilson is in perfect physical trim
To the casual observer he looks
about 40 years old and he acts the
part.
Exercise aud relaxation in the open
air and sunshine, consistently employ.
ed, particularly in times of great
stress, are largely responsible.
DIR. Cary t. Grayson, the president 8
friend and physician, has played 2
prominent part in keeping the presi-
dent strong and well. Whenever dan
ger signal is flashed along the pres:.
dent S system, Grayson catches it.
On those occasions the president is
sent to bed to rest and keep there un-
der orders.
He and Grayson may always be seen
together when some international diff
ficulty has been encountered. They
may either play golf together or ride
about the Washington drives, swapping
stories. In this the president revels as
"a relaxation and a favorite diversion
on such drives is vieing in the gentle
are of rhyme and jingles.
As for every day habits, the presi,
dent S are extremely regular. He keeps
with himself with the
same "striet accountability as he does
with callers
He has breakfast in his room, lunch
con is always at ! clock on the dot
and seven o clock dinner is the rule.
By holding to these few simple rules
of living the president finds himself
"a war president physically and ment-
ally fit to cope with the big problems
ahead.

Lower House VIII Pass ResO-
luton Adopted Last Night
By Senate

washington, D. c., April 5-The
house debate on the war resolution will
drag we'll into the night before a vote
will be taken. 1t seems to be the dis
position, as in the senate, to allow all
members possible to be heard before
the roll is called on final passage of
the resolution.
There is no doubt of the passage of
the resolution by large majority-the
minority concede it and their speeches
are simply in the nature of a protest
against the action of the majority.
Passage tonight by the house of the
resolution will complete the entrance
of the United States into the war.
Tomorrow this country will be at
war with Germany.

Market Confusing
and Prices Are Lower

New York, April 5.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's stock market was a confus-
ing affair with bear pressure the dom
mating factor. There was a good deal
of liquidation from various sources,
particularly in the steel and equipment
shares, with growing appreciation of
the problems inherent in the govern
ment's war financing plans.
The decisive vote of the United
States senate carrying the war resolu-
tion was about what was expected.
Pending vote in the house, Wall
Street was disposed to give serious
consideration to the taxation project.
In some banking quarters it is felt
that there should be an issue of long
term bonds in order that the burden Of
war should be equitably borne by both
the present and future generations.
There is little doubt that there will be
increased taxes as soon as congress can
get down to that business.
The possibility for further burdens
caused widespread selling in the steel
equipment and munitions groups, which
in turn, served to depress the entire list
in more or less active trading. United
States Steel sold as low as 113, two
points down. The Bethlehem Steel
shares lost four to five points and
losses elsewhere in the steel stocks
were from two to four points and losses
elsewhere in the steel stocks were from
two to four points. This movement
was somewhat accelerated by the plans
for mobilization of steel industries.
The equipment and munitions stocks
sold off / to 2 points or SO, with some
recovery here. and there.
