CONGRESS READY TO BACK WILSON
 ON EVERY MOVE

Washington, Feb. 5.-The leaders of Congress are preparing to support the President step by step in the con- troversy with Germany. They will vote him whatever he needs Authori- ty to use the armed forces will be given him and money to carry out any program he may have.
 With the exception of few pa- cifsts who would resort to anything rather than go to war, Congressme en accept the situation as 1t is. and look for an actual conflict with Germany.
 A special session of Congress will be called by the President if Germany carries out her announced plans and by some overt act compels the United States to enter the war. Leaders of the Senate and House are expecting an extraordinary session. They cannot enact all of the legislation necessary to use the armed forces in the present session.
 To Vote Needed Funds
 Plans are being made to go on with the work of Congress after March 4. The President prefers that there be no special session, but it seems un- avcidable now. The committees of Congress will meet early this week and take up the various ends of the situation to prepare for action at any moment.
 The finance committee of the Sen ate, which is now considering the rev. enue bill that passed the House last week, is ready to provide for an issue of bonds in addition to the provisions already made in the. measure. Addi- tional taxes would be levied for in- creased current expenses incident to a war.
 Senator Simmons of North Caro- lima, chairman of the finance com nittee, had conference with the president at the White House yes terday afternoon. The two were closeted for half an hour. The ques- ton of bond issue to meet any con tingency which might arise was the subject under discussion. Upon leaving the White House, Senator Simmons said:
 '"The President desired to discuss with me the possi bility of an issue of bonds. He was particularly anxious to know if there would be any obsta- cle to such action in either branch of Congress if the situation warrants. I assured him that, in my Judgment, both the Senate and House would be willing and anxious to provide for an issue of bonds in any amount which the President thought necessary
 The North Carolina Senator was asked if such an issue is imminent.
 Unless Germany commits some overt act" he replied, T do not be- Ieve that any bond issue will be nec- essary. No amount was mentioned at the meeting, for the very good req son that we cannot tell at this time just how much money 1t will be nec- essary to raise in this way in order to place our army and navy on a pre- paredness basis. These details can be worked out later, but unless war is declared between the United States and Germany, there will be no need for a bond issue.'' ,

OFFICIALS TAKE ACTION TO SAVE
 |NTERNED SHIPS

New York, Feb. 5-Thirty- Ger nan and Austrian steamships anG sailing vessels elf-detained in the Port oe New York since the outbreak of the war were sealed against board : ing or departur.. yesterday hy join: action of the Treasury and Labor De- par t,nents of the Uaired States.
 An official statement issued in Wasn;r gton last night said that sciz- gre cf German or Austrian shii.. was not even under consideration. It was sad that such action might be con s:r,leG as an aggression hostile to Gerrlaay. All officials have been in st1ucled to be particularly careful in the present energency.
 Tae day brought with it, as a fur ther factor in rho relations betwce il the { Eited States and Germany, dis c,veiy that more than score of s,ich s!.i;,s in other r-n1efica1 ports had been damaged oy their crews. TWen- ty three of these vessels are laid up in tic Philippines. The gunboat Geier. irterne6 at Honolul1 ], was set afire by her crew Engine room fittings of the kronprinzsessia Cecilie, held at Boston, were found to have been tam pered with. Proof came to light at Charleston, s. G., that the ,Liebenfels was scuttled in the Cooper River last Thursday.
 Crews Serve as Hostages
 With the exception of the Cecilie, which has been seized under litiga- tion pending against her, possession has been taken of none of the vessels. The sealing at New York and at other continental American ports was de- signed solely to prevent further de- factions from the crews of the ships in violation of the Immigration Laws. It serves the added purpose of making the crews hostages for the safety of the ships, since they are likely neither to be blown up nor sunk while their own companies remain on board. ~
 Hundreds of the men who were members of the crews of these vessels when they were tied up have left them to take up their residence in the United States, without submitting to examination or paying the head tax of $4 exacted of every alien enter ing this country. No. fewer than 100 such instances occurred yesterday morning from the eight Hamburg American liners at Hoboken alone.

 There was also suggestion that this regard for the vessels already on their way to the war zone might pre- vent serious ldevelopments,s affecting American interests, for two weeks or more.
 In some messages from Berlin, moreover, it has been intimated that the blockade policy would be conduct ed with a certain moderation at the outset, but would become more ruth less as the day went by.

Order From General Crowder
Divides Registrants Into
Five Classes and Calls
Those Without Dependents
Into Service First

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.--A sweeping
change in the machinery Of the selec-
tive draft. based on division Of the
100000 remaining registrants into FIVE
classes in order of their el'-.bility for
military service was an ounced to-day
by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details Of the plain. which has been
approved by President Wilson. are not
disclosed. II is calculated, however to
do away with virtually all the compli-
Gated machinery Of the first draft and
to make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than rub

The plan was worked out at confer
ences with local and district board on
Gals and approved By the various state
authorities. Its chief features are tna'

exact position and be able TO arrange
his affairs accoi lingly, and that no man

unless the military situation is des-
perate.
Az the next call to the colors is to
be made under the new plan. this as
surance is taken 20 indicate that the
second call is not TO be expected before
the first OF the year. although no au-
thoritative statement on this point was
available tonight.
Provost Marshal General Crowder 10

with the completion o. the draft OF
the first army o. $4,000 men 4 new

lessen the labors of the local and dis

days of its existence to be obedient
to the Divine teachings which have
inspired it in the exercise of its
liberties, to turn always to the
Supreme Master and cast them

ing for His aid and succor in every
hour of trial, to the end that the
great aims to which our fathers
dedicated our power as people
may not perish among men, but
be always asserted and defended
with fresh ardor and devotion and,
through the Divine blessing, set
at last upon enduring foundations

Sets Order of Service for Every Man

umns the work of the local board will
be reduced to a minimum.
THE man who can least be spared
either as the head OF family or the
lead OF business necessary to the de-
fence OF the nation will be the last TO
go.
"The new plan is being made ready
for the printer, and will be submitted
TO the local and district boards in ample
time TO enable them TO familiarize
themselves with it and thus approach
their next draft with thorough knowl-
edge of It's requirements"
The success of the plan depends upon
the completeness OF the questionnsire.
The questions TO be answered by the
registered mer have ben workd out
with ininit care from the vast fund Of
inforplatioa cleaned from the first use
OF .he draft machinery.
Attorney Is Supplied
Included in tie plans Of the govern
mert, it is understood, is a provision
which will place the services Of a
trained attorney at the disposal of
every registrant to assist him in max
ing his answers. Presumably all the
machinery Cf afidavits 10 support
claims for exemptions also has been
absorbed into this document, making
the work OF the registrant in getting
his situation properly before the board
for consideration far less srduous.
A point not made clear in General
Croyder's statement is how the rota-
tion numbers of the drawing TO fix the
order Of military liability are to be
applied.
