SPRINGFIELD, Mo-. Oct. 25.-The Farmers' National congress closed four day session here tonight by passing resolutions urging national suffrage and prohibition and pledg- ing support to the government in the conduct of the war.
 At the same time, however, a res olution asked that farm labor be ex- empted in the draft insofar as pos sihle in order that farmers might respond to the demand for food for war purposes. The delegates clashed over this resolution many contending that it indicated that the farmer was stacker and unwilling to do his part of the fighting.
 The convention also denounced war profiteers. advocated tax on excess war profits, better rural education and effective government marketing work.

He praised the spirit, capacity and vision of American Wo- men in the war.
 "I believe" he said, that just be- cause we are quickened by the ques- tions of this war we ought to be quickened to give this question of woman suffrage our immediate con sideration.'
 Speaking as one of the spokesmen of a great party he pledged his hearty support and added:

 T perhaps may be touched a little too much by the traditions of our traditions which lay such questions almost entirely upon the states. but I want to see communities declare themselves quickened at this time and show the consequences of the quickening'

RIO JANEIRO, Oct. 25.-Parliament will vote tomorrow on the question ol authorizing the government to declare that state of war exists between Ger many and Brazil, and also on all nec- essary legislation for the carrying on of war.
 The president of the republic, pr. Weneeslso Braz, has sent message to the congress declaring that 1t IS impossible to avoid noting already the state of war which Germany has inn posed on Brazil He proposG5 the seizure of German warship now in the port of Bahia.
 The majority leader of the chamber discussed the relations between Brazil and Germany and counselled the chamber to approve the presidential message.
 The parliamentary diplomatic com mission also discussed the message, which it is considered probable the chamber will adopt.
 The torpedoing of the Brazilian ship Macau is causing considerable com ment. The Journal of Commercial says:
 Brazil does not look for war and does not want war but Germany IS driving us into the whirl. We shall go with the serenity of those for whom honor is above all.
 According to the declaration of various members before the chamber of deputies a declaration of war would be the only satisfactory solution and alAf. mt again come before the chamber without a declaration of war Some of the members said there was not one Bra gillian who did not espouse the cause of the government.
 The presidents message announced the torpedoing of the ship Macau. It said that this was the fourth Brazilian ship that had been sunk and that the circumstances of this sinking had been aggravated by the arrest of the com- mander of the vessel.
 ! Tt is impossible, gentlemen, to have any doubts regarding the situation, or l to escape now froEl the state Of war which Germany forces upon us, the message continues. The prudence with which we have acted. far from weakening our attitude, confers on us 1 the necessary authority to accept the facts as they are.
 | If the congress agrees to such ac- | tion the government will seize the Ger l man warship at anchor in the port of Bahia and arrest the crews of the German merchantmen, wh>ch we vii then utilize.
 The time seems to be at hand lo give legal status to the defensive po- sition forced upon us by events, tC strengthen the national defense and tC shape our external policy in accorc with the aggressions threatening ! Bl azil.

WASHINGTON, D.

 Ships, wheat and hogs are the great needs emphasized by -ar. Hoover. Ec said deepest concern had been caused by the fact that in spite cf high prices tnis .cGuntry's pork consumption had increased during the war until pro- iucrion had been outstripped: q situa = ton that must be changed.
