meant to prevent; it is practically cer-
tain to draw us into the war without
either the rights or the effectiveness
of belligerents.
There is one choice we cannot make
we are incapable of making; we will
not choose the path of submission and
suffer the most sacred rights of our ma
tion and our people to be ignored or
violated. The wrongs against which we
now array ourselves are not common
wrongs, they cut to the very roots of
human life.
What this will involve is clear, it
will involve the utmost practicable CO.
operation in counsel and action with
the governments now at war with Ger
many, and, as incident to that the ex-
tension to those governments of the
most liberal financial credits, in order
that our resources may, so far as pos
sible, be added to theirs. 1t will in
volve the organization and mobiliza-
tion of all the material resources of the
country to supply the materials of war
and serve the incidental needs of the
nation, in the most abundant, and yet
the most economical and efficient way
possible. 1t will involve the immediate
full equipment of the navy in all re-
spects, but particularly in supplying it
with the best means of dealing with
the enemy's submarines. 1t will involve
the immediate addition to the armed
forces of the United States already
provided for by law in case of war, at
least 100000 men. who should, in my
opinion be chosen upon the principle
of universal liability to service. and al
SO the authorization of subsequent ad-
ditional increments of equal force so
soon as they may be needed and can be
handled in training.
1T will involve also, of course, the
granting of adequate credits to the
government, sustained, hope so far as
they can equitably be sustained, by the
present generation by well conceived
taxation. 1 say sustained so far as
may be equitable by taxation because
it seems to me that it would be most
unwise to base the credits which will
now be necessary entirely on money
borrowed. 1t is our duty / most re-
spectfully urge, to protect our people
SO far as we may against the very SER
ious hardships and evils which would
be likely to arise out of the initiation
which would be produced by vast loans.
I'm carrying out the measures by
which these things are to be accom-
plished we should keep constantly in
mind the wisdom of interfering as little
as possible in our own preparation and
in the equipment of our own military
forces with the duty-for it will be a
very practical duty-of supplying the
nations already at war with Germany
with the materials which they can OBJ
tain only from us or by our assistance.
They are in the field and we should

now without disguise by the imperial
German government, and it has there

that government has not actually en-

BOYS SAY CRIPPLE
is CRIME TEACHER
Two Arrested as Bicycle
Thieves Blame Harry F.
Eaton for 0ffenses.

Harry F. Eaton. thirty-hve years
old. a cripple. was in Police Court this
morning charged with receiving
stolen property. His case was con-
tinued indefinitely until charges
against two boys, William Seiden,
fourteen, and Elmer Smithson, fifteen,
accused of stealing bicycles, are tried

Eaton IL described as a modern Fa-
gin by the boys in their story to

BeckIey this morning.
Eaton runs "a candy store at T35
Eleventh street southeast" said
Smithson. "He used to have a boys
clubroom in the rear of the store. and
although the club has broken up, we
hang around the room still. Eaton
told me several weeks ago to go out
and get some bicycles and he would
get me good money for them"
The two boys declared Eaton prom
ised them a third of what he re-
ceived fer the wheels. The Speiden
boy said:
"He called me one day and told me
he needed money to buy stock to sell
during in auguration. He promised
to give me a third OF what he could
get for every bicycle he sold. Smith
son and / went out and brought in
seevral wheels. Then we changed
their appearance, so the owners
couldn't identify them"
The detectives said they learned of
the sale of'several bicycles by Eaton.
and in his store they found him filing
the number from a bicycle.
About the room, they said, they
found numerous bicycle parts. and
nearly thirty-five trademark plates.
william Speiden is a messenger boy
and said he lived at 11O2 e street

WARM WELCOME FOR YsAYE
Maurice DamboIs Also Appreciated
by National Audience.

As Eugene Ysaye stepped upon the
stage for his fecital at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon he wal
welcomed with prolonged and warm
applause. This great Belgian violinist
has a place In the hearts OF his hear
ers that Is individually his own. And
the heart appeal through all the great
ness Of Ms art is'its dominant quality.
He brings from his violin a depth OF
musical beauty whose vibrant tone Is
ever full Of pathos. In his lightest
of tenderest feeling that sinks de0p
into one, while his mastery reaches
heights of command.
II was to have been joint recital
with Leopold Godowsky. In Maurice
Dambois, who replaced NJ. Godowsly,
the acquaintance was made of q
young pianist, also a Belgian, who
found Immediate recognition in HIS
ensemble playing and who, as soloIst
and as composer, was acclaimed for
HIS gifts. So Il came as a surprise
when NJ. Dambois declared that he is
a concert 'celIist, that he only plays
piano for NJ. Ysaye.
The violin program was a vast and
varied one, with two works of large
form, for violin and plano. the Mozart
Sonata" d major, and the "Suite" d
minor, by Geminiani. The fneness
and delicacy of the Mozart stands out
in interesting contrast with the Bee
thoven Romance" given later In the
program. Each work played with ex-
quisite phrasing, grace and rhythm,
the Mozart was blithe, fragile thing
of beauty, while the Beethoven
touched the deeps in its feeling and
its broad dignity. Breadth and
pathos, too, there was in the italian
suite" with all its virtuosity, the
plaintive "Sarabande" expressing to
the full the power. so distinctly
Ysaye's. of combining rare beauty
with feeling akin to tears.
or elusive charm was the. Saint
Saens 'Havanaise," while Ysaye's own
tenderIy unduIating "Reve d'enfant"
was exquisite. Two "Mazurkas" of
wieniawski and the vieuxtemps "Po-
IonaIse" were richly endowed violin
istic works. NJ. Ysaye added an elab-
crate Caprice of Guirand to his pro
gram.
NJ. Dambois' piano "Caprice-valse"
was delightfully."- pianistic and individ-
ual, a quality that Is not marred when
one says It touched the grace and tex
ture OF a Chopin waltz, with some
thing of the modern French. II was
given with fine artistry in execution
and with rhythmic breadth. As en-
core he played Debussy's "Arabesque."

VIII Wait Developments.
The Administration will take no
further step until it sees what hap
pens to the ships sent out under the
American flag and carrying Govern
ment guns.
Germany's action will determine
whether it will be necessary to send
American ships through the war zone
under convoy of battleships, or what
measures the navy should take to
meet any situation that may arise.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have reached a perfect un-
derstanding on the question.
The morning the President went to
the War Department for a twenty
minute conference with Secretary of
War Baker.
He discussed with Mr.. Baker Admin
istrative steps necessary IL the pending
army appropriation bill fails of passage
before adjournment He said emphati-
cally that the conference had nothing
to do with the international situation
Further Plot News Held.
The virtual acknowledgement by Ger
man officials Of the authenticity Of the
Zimmerman plot against the United
States was no surprise to the State
Department. They expected 1t.
"It doesn't make the situation any
more serious" a high state Depart
ment official said. I'VE knew it was
true"
Nevertheless, II was accepted as a
new piece of effrontery. and was re-
garded as provocative Of further nc
tion by this Government.
Secretary Lansing again refused to-
day to make public any of the further
information in the hands OF the United
States Government regarding German
plots. The attitude OF the Administra-
tion appeared to be that revelations
thus far made ought to be sufficient
to show Congress and the American
people OF the imminence of war with
Germany.

HOUSE READY TO ADJOURN
Legislative Program Remaining
Can Easily Be Completed.

Meeting at noon today, with the
end OF Congress but twenty-four
hours away, the House found itself
substantially clear of all important
legislation which must be considered
before adjournment.
Legislation in the lower body is
much less congested than in the Sen
ate and IL an extra session is forced
it will be primarily the fault of the
upper chamber.
The conference report on the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priaticn bill engaged the House as
soon as II convened today.
Remaining in session until after 2
o'clock this morning. the House pass
ed the general deficiency appropria-
tion bill and the Military Academy
bill. So far as the House is concern
ed, there are no more appropriation
bills to be passed.
Refund Item Retained.
In passing the general deficiency
bill the House retained the item for
the refund to the Treasury of $235, 900
from the District OF Columbia. This
amount represents fines erroneously
paid into the District treasury by the
Police and Supreme courts OF the Dis
trict in cases OF persons accused of
offenses against the United States.
Chairman Ben Johnson, of the Dis
trict Committee. made a lengthy ex-
PLANTATION to the House OF the discov-
cry OF this error by experts of the
District Committee investigating fis-
cal relations between the Federal and
District governments.

tee planned today to ask a special

bill may -, through in the closing
hours
Chairman Alexander. of the Mer-
chant Marine Committee, was also
ready to put through a bill authoriz-
ing the President, in a national
emergency. to take over ships being
constructed in American shipyards for
foreign owners. This legislation
amends the shipping board act and
applies to merchant vessels. 1t is
doubted IL this bill can get through
the Senate before tomorrow noon
For S1S0OOOyOOo Bonds.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee reported today a joint resolu-
tion appropriating Sl5O.00O.O00, to be
met by bond issue, 10 enable the
President. to expedite the construc-
tion of naval vessels.
This legislation was included by the
Senate in the naval appropriation bill,
but the House passed a resolution re-
turning the naval bill and asserting
- the Senate had no right to originate
revenue legislation. The Senate
struck out the SI5O, 200. 900 bond issue
and the House Committee. its dignity
preserved. then agreed to authorize
the amount in a separate resolution
originated in the House.
Except for these bills the House is
ready for adjournment The lower
chamber probably will remain in ses-
sion all night to consider beIated con
ference reports and such routine bills
a. may be passed under suspension. of
the rules or by unanimous consent on
the final day OF the session.
