PRESIDENT WILSON SEEKS
AUTHORITY TO ARM SHIPS
MAY HAVE THAT AUTHORITY
WITHOUT SPECIAL ACTION
OF CONGRESS.

Washington, March President
Wilson, it is stated authoritatively,
will do everything possible to find
way to arm American ships and
protect them in other ways from sub
marine danger, in spite Of the failure
Of the senate TO pass the bill giving
him specific power. A final decis-
ion on whether the president can
legally arm the ships without specific
authorization is expected shortly.
The opinion expressed during the
senate debate Of the bill that with
out action by congress the president
has no right to arm American mer-
chantmen, was taken into careful
consideration, however, and the pres
ident will not act until he is certain.
In deciding on the legal status OF
the question, it was learned the presi-
dent and his advisers are consider
ing the intent of the old statute,
passed in 1919, which was cited in
the Senate as prohibiting the arming
of merchantmen for action against
armed public vessels of nations IN
amity with the United States.
An extra session of Congress be-
fore July TO pass appropriation
measures, if for no other purpose,
seems to be certain. II the Senate
amends its rules so prompt action
can be taken on an armed neutrality
bill, an extra session of Congress may
be expected within the next two or
three weeks.
Messages, apparently spontaneous,
have come to government officials
from all parts of the country, criti-
cising in bitter terms tho senators
who prevented action during the last
session of congress on the armed
neutrality bill.

Proving Quite an Artist.

Mrs. Rosamond Walker, of this

been studying art, is proving to be
quite a cartoonist, having been
complimented the past week when a
cartoon drawn by her, entitled "The
Burden Bearer" appeared in an is
sue of the State, one of the largest
daily papers in South Carolina, pub
lished in Columbia. "The Burden
Bearer" shows President Wilson and
the different burdens which he is
bearing, among which are the break
with Germany, increased cost of liv-
ing, etc. The Picture was well drawn,
and Mrs Walker is due mucn credit
for her work.

the simple, but impressive ceremon,
in the open air on the plaza before
the capitol when the president de.
livered his inaugural address, were
accentuated by the note Of patriotic

all the proceedings Of the day.
The first democratic president to
succeed himself since Jackson and
the tenth to be reelected, President
Wilson entered his second term OF
office with new conservation to the
service of his country.
1t was the presidents wish that
his inauguration should be simple
one, and all through the fixed pro-
gram which covered more than five
hours, while there was the pomp and
spectacular display which inevitably
attaches to the Inauguration of a
president, the studied effort was to
keep the ceremonies in accord with
the best traditions of America
ceremonies which in the main were
planned by George Washington more
than q century ago.
The event was' siniplified because
there was no dual ceremony to at

president and further simplified be-

and confusion of the dying hours OF

Vardaman, of Mississippi, and Ken
yon, Of Iowa, who did not sigh the
Senate manifesto in favor of armed
neutrality and who were included in
President Wilson's statement as the
little group of wilful men who rem
dered the country helpless and con-
temptible before the world" ex-
planned to the Senate that they had
not been in the completely to prevent
vote on armed neutrality. Senator
Williams, of Mississippi, replying to
Vardaman, declared President Will
son was right in his criticism of the
filibustering senators.
Senator Vardaman said he was
sorry there had been "such savage
and indelicate criticism of congress
by the president" Personally, |
don't take orders from any man or
set Of men outside of Mississippi. I
am in favor of free and ample dis
cussion and then vote"
Senator Williams replied that the
president had not expressed dissat-

few senators who made legislation
by an Overwhelming majority inn
possible in the nations crisis and
whatever their motive, they, and not
congress, were responsible for the
United States being helpless and

the session was the $1,348,000 mill
tary academy bill, carrying the regu-
lar allotment for maintaining the
West Point establishment during the
coming fiscal year. Chairman Dent
Of the House military committee, de-
clared that unless Congress is called
back the academy will have to close
it's doors July /.
In all five big supply bills failed,
carrying total Of more than half
billion dollars. Besides the admins
tration has considered it almost i'm
perative to pass a number of general
legislative measures that failed, in
cluding the amendments to the ship
ping and federal reserve laws, the
supplemental legislation to reinforce
the Adamson law, conservation meas
ures, the bill to permit combinations
for foreign selling and that to enlarge
the interstate commerce commission.
Most Of these were enumerated in
the presidents statement under the
head Of "most necessary legislation. !"
Although the war department viii
bear the brunt of the financial en-
barrassment resulting from failure
of the general deficiency bill, near
ly every other department will suf-
fer to lesser extent.
The postoffice department will
have to cancel its plans for extra car
riers and clerks declared by officials
to be necessary for efficient mail
transportation. The interior depart
ment cannot move into its new build
ing because it has no money to pur-
chase equipment. The commerce de-
partment cannot put out the new
coal charts planned by the coast and
Geodetic survey for naval and mer-
chant vessels. The treasury depart
ment will have to make an emergen-
cy arrangement if it's bureau Of en-
craving and printing is to be kept
supplied with the paper and other
materials used in printing paper
money and postage stamps.
In addition 100000 army pension
ers will have their payments cut off
July l unless Congress meets again
and provides for them. Neither is
there any provision for taking care
Of the $647,000 which the general
deficiency bill would have provided
for the pay Of regular army officers
and men. An item Of $250,00O for
support Of soldiers homes was an
other that died with the bill and
these establishments throughout the
country mill have to run on credit
after June.
