thousand sledges carrying victims Of
the old regime back to freedom in the
new Russia from the mines and con-
.vict settlements Of Siberia are speeding
in an endless chain across the SHOWS
Of north Asia toward the nearest points

passengers range from members Of the

WILSON MESSAGE
RAISES QUESTION
Attention Of World Focused on Pres
ident's Discussion Of Present Auto.
cracy - Germany's Allies, Desiring
Peace, May Be Forced to Line Up
With Prussia and Break With United
States.

Washington, April 3.-Congress met
today to act on President Wilson's re-
quest that 1t declare state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany.
Prospects were that resolutions to
that effect would reach the floors OF
both house and senate this afternoon.
1t is taken for granted that this dec
laration would be adopted by congress
in two or three days at most.
Specifically the president asked con-
gress to declare the recent course of
the German government to have been
one Of war against the United States
government and the people Of the
United States, and that this nation ac-
cept the status Of belligerency which
has been forced upon it.
Congress, acting for the American
people, today took steps looking to en-
abIing the nation, as the president ex-
pressed it, "to exert all its power and
employ all its resources to bring the
German empire to terms to end the
war"
Raise Army 10 Next Step.
The president did not make it very
clear exactly how he expected an army
OF 500, ,ooe, which he proposed, to be
raised, except to. say IT should be "on
the principle OF universal liability, TO
service"
Two universal training bills were
introduced yesterday, one drafted by
ti1e army general staff and the other
by Senator Chamberlain. whether
either may be used as the framework
for a measure to raise a big army Is
unknown.
1t is assumed that the president will
authorize an increase Of both the ma
tional guard and regular army to
war strength. That in itself would
give an army of more than 100000 men,
in addition to the proposed new force
of 100000. The navy already Is re-
cruiting to war strength under an order
