CONGRESS IN LINE.

~ONGRESS is at last awake TO the seriousness OF the situation.
The sinking of the Laconia and the revelation Of German
intrigues TO form an alliance with Mexico and Japan against
the United States have combined to line up political manoeuvrsts,
paciists and chronic procrastinators behind the President.
By a vote of 403 to 10, the House Of Representatives last night
passed an Armed Neutrality measure which, in view Of the known
attitude Of the Senate, makes it certain that the President will be
empowered to arm merchant ships and to provide other means of
protecting American rights on sea.
If this is to mean anything il must mean that American vessels
and American travellers shall pursue their lawful business with the
full support OF the American Navy behind them.
A Congress resolved TO put into the hands Of the Chief Executive
The very last and utmost power 10 strike quick and hard might better
serve the nation at this moment. But at least we have the present
Congress for its few remaining hour. in line with national need and
national purpose.
The pressure Of public opinion and the greatness Of the danger
a. progressively revealed in the past few days have sobred and
treadied even some Of the most reckless and doubling members Of
The nations legislative corps. They have been forced at last to re-
member whom and what they represent.

Singing Well"

COLOSSAL INSOLENCE.

THE exposure of the German Governments attempted deal
with Mexico and Japan ought to make even a pachist thrust
out his jaw.
Not that Teuto- Mexican armies could ever get across the Mexican
border or that Japan would sacrifice her honor among nations for a
treacherous shift Of alliance and a wild expedition across the Pacific
in the course of which she would have to try conclusions with Ameri-
can fleets.
But the colossal insoence Of proposing to "reconquer" for
Mexico "lost territory in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona" in the
event that the United States should make trouble about the murder
Of its citizens by German order on the high seas, is of a sort TO con-
vince even the most peaceloving American what this nation is up
against. b
Prusdanism has ceased to measure its purposes by its power to
accomplish them. With the reckless daring Of desperation it ID reach
