anca with the view Of the president
and the State Department, declaring
state of war to have existed since
noon to-day between the Unitad States
and Austro Hungarian government,

This is not a secret but the foreign
relations committee is in conference.
The sentiment including Turkey and
Bulgaria on the list of recognized en-
enies is persistent This fact prom
ises some attempts to amend the reso-
lutOns.
Flood said that he hoped to set the
resolutions before the house tomor-
row but the postponement until Fri
day appeared probable In such. event,
It is not believed that the Senate will

FRIENDS.
Union Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 5--Friends of the
movement started by letter carriers all
over the country to secure in wages,
believe that the appeals Of the men
which have been flooding the mail of
Senators and Congressmen for the
past few days, will get favorable ac-
ton. Letter carriers are now paid
salary of $500 annually to start and
maximum of $1,000. TIE beginners
salary is reached only after period
of substitution averaging between
four and five days, during which time
no fixed salary is paid. A man must
work at least nine years to make the
maximum salary. While workers in
other lines have enjoyed shortening
of hours and an increase to meet the
increase in food prices of 62 per cent.
between 1907 and 1917, the letter car
riers have received no salary advance.
