WAR REVENUE BILL
MAYPASS TONIGHT
Seven BiIIion-D Dollar Bond
Measure Laid Before
the Senate.

In expectation that the seven billion
dollar bond and revenue blu which was
recently passed by the House will be
passed by the Senate before adjourn
ment tonight. Senator Simmons Of North
Carolina. chairman Of the Finance Com
'mittee. laid the bill before the Senate
shortly after II convened at noon today.
While there was the utmost interest in
the bill'o the part Of Senators, 1t was
recognized on all hands that its passage
was a foregone conclusion.
Al the very outset Senator Stone of
Missouri, chairman of the Foreign Re
lations Committee, announced he
would support the bill to the extent
of voting for its passage, but that he
believed 1t should have been framed
in a different fashion.
Long Discussion Likely.
Senator Stone. made it plain that he
would offer an amendment to change
tn bill in certain details. This an
nouncement together with the fact
that other Senators are not satisfied
with some of the features OF the pro-
posed legislation, indicated the prob
ability OF lengthy discussion. 1t is
not certain that a vote can be forced
tonight, although Senator Simmons
stated on the floor that he expected
passage then.
81 voted to report the bill" said
Senaotr Stone, "and I expect to vote
for its passage, but ] believe y IL
should have been framed along diff
ferent lines
After the bill had been read Senator
Simmons proceeded to make a de-
tailed explanation of It, THE bill"
he said, authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue fve billion dol
lars In bonds of the United States.
Three Billion for Our Allies.
Three billion dollars are to be
used in the purchase of the bonds Of
the countries engaged in war with
our enemies. for the purpose of ex-
tending to them credit here and else
where to assist US IN the prosecution
of the war"
The remainder is to be used FOR
the purpose OF meeting our own ex-
penditures for war purposes" Senator
Simmons went into detail concerning
the features Of the bill and strongly
urged the wisdom OF this Government
exerting its great financial strength
to help bring the war to a successful
close.

the German commerce submarine
Deutschland furnished these proofs.
The U-53 put in at Newport r. l.,
under the rule which allows the use
O( neutral ports for twenty-four
hour periods to belligerent warships.
and after obtaining copies of New
York newspapers giving the sched-
ule of arrivals and departures OF
merchant ships from New York. took
to sea and sank six merchant
men in as many hours off Nantucket
Rumors of Bases.
For a considerable time, dating back
TO the break in relations, which pre-
ceded the actual declaration of war
By two months. reports have persisted
not only that submarines were oper-
ating on this side of the Atlantic, but
that the Germans had established
secret bases somewhere in the Carib-
bean or along the coast of Mexico.
Every effort to locate these bases, II
such exist, has been without sue
cess.
From now on IL is expected here
that engagements between vessels of
the American fleet and submarines as
we'll as submarine attacks on mer-
chant craft on the United States
coast are expected to occur, and
warning is given OF the probability
that American naval vessels may be
lost in the attacks.
Failure on the part of the Admin
istration to take measures earlier in
anticipation of war with Germany,
has left the Government without the
submarine chasers or small armed
motor boats which the British have
found the only effective weapon
against the undersea boats. Con-
tracts for the first of these chasers
were not let until after war was de-
clared, and consequently deliveries
cannot be made much before June.

HUGHES TO BEGIN
STRIKE PROBE SOON
Jersey Senator's Committee on
Traction Loses Gerry, Whose
Wife Owns Stock.

Senator Hughes OF New Jersey,
chairman of the special committee, of
the Senate to investigate the strike
on the lines of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, said today
the investigation would probably be-
gin the first of next week.
Senator Hughes will have a meeting
OF the committee tomorrow for the
purpose of discussing preliminary
plans.
In the Senate today. Senator Gerry.
of Rhode Island, retired from the
special committee. He gave as his
reason the fact that Mrs. Gerry own
ed certain traction securities in the
District and he was not sure whether
they included some in the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company.
Vice President Marshall appointed
Senator King of Utah, a lawyer and
former member of the House, to serve
in Senator Gerry's place.
E. w. Oyster, OF Columbia Typo-
graphical Union; William H. Hotel,
of Machinists' Union, and Harry Och.
Ter, of Bookbinders' Union, were
named a committee by the Central
Labor Union last night to follow the
Senate investigation and ascertain II
acts of violence during the strike and
alleged unfair treatment of employees
by the Washington Railway and
Electric Company justify operation of
local traction lines by the District
government.
Preparing for Inquiry.
Officials of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and representa-
tives Of the strikers were busy today
preparing for the investigation The
strike was started thirty-six days ago.
The company is preparing to introduce
before the committee the history Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees Of America,
Of which the strikers are a division.
Throughout the controversy President
King has refused to have any dealings
whatsoever with the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION" 1t is understood the COM
pany has gathered newspaper and
magazine articles dealing with activi-
ties Of the association, with numerous
clippings telling Of alleged acts Of vio-
lence in strikes.
Officials of the union said they
would rely upon the printed state
ment given every member of the
sponsibility for the strike rests with
the company. They said that George
A. Wilburt and the other committee
members had made at least a dozen
offers of arbitration. all of which
were rejected by the company.
At union headquarters 1t was said
the organization had nothing to fear
from an investigation of acts Of vio-
lence since the strike began.
There has been some violence. most
OF IL OF a minor character, eXaggera-
ted by the company. but these were
the acts OF individuals who violated
orders from the union" said a strike
leader. I'VE have consistently urged
the boys not to resort to violence.
There are 1,1O0 strikers, and a vast
majority OF them have refrained from
violence"
The union will call particular st
tention of the Investigators to the
individual contract" drawn up by the
company.

ASKS REPUBLICANS
TO AID CONSUMPTION
Wilson Calls Minority Leaders
for Conference as opposi-
ton Grows.

In an effort to gain nonpartisan sup
port of the Administration conscrip-
tion army bill, President Wilson today
asked Congressman Mann, Republican
floor leader of the House. and Con-
gresham Lenroot to confer with him
at the White House.
With unfavorable reports from the
House on the possibility of conscrip-
tion going through, the President has
summoned the Republicans to his aid
in a inal EFFORT to get prompt action.
Chairman Dent, OF the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee. will see the
President this afternoon and, it is
understood, will report that the con-
scription bill cannot be passed unless
provision is made for first trying
out the volunteer system.
At Republican Senate caucus this
forenoon. II was decided the party
would stand behind the Presidents
selective conscription plan.
To Press Bill In Senate.
The struggle in Congress over the
conscription bill promises to take q
new turn by reason of the decision
OF Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the Military Committee, and Senate
leaders, to press the bill to passage
without halting for the House to
dispose of II.
This promises to expedite the pas
sage OF the new army measure con-
siderably. .Inasmuch as the formation
OF the 1000, 900 army is to a large ex-
tent held back on account of delay in
the proposed legislation, any speeding
up with respect to 1t is important.
The Senate set out to wait on the
House for the new army legislation.
But the delay In the House is such
that Senators feel they would not be
warranted in holding back any
longer.
In Conmlttee Today.
The Senate Military Committee was
called together this afternoon for the
purpose OF considering whether any
amendments should be adopted. Sec
retary Baker and Judge Advocate
General Crowder were heard yester-
day. The Secretary OF War was be-
fore the committee only thirty min
utes.
Senator Chamberlain hopes the COM
mittee will furnish the bill this after
noon so that he can report TO the Sen
ate Immediately. He would like to have
the Senate take II up for consideration
tomorrow or just as soon as the T.ooO.-
O0O. 900 bond bill Is passed.
