further sacrifice of American lives and
ships and a practical blockade Of
American commerce, almost % ef-
fective as II the nation were at war,
have taken the place Of the covert
act" and lead the president to take
the step which brings the country
nearer an actual declaration Of war.
The president again made 1t plain
that he desired peace, but not at the
price of American rights and lives or
by driving the American flag from the
seas.
Hardly had the nations executive
left the somber gathering Of senators
and representative than steps were
taken to frame resolutions acceding

embodied exactly what the presiden,
proposed to congress.

thority ITO employ any other instru
mentality that may be necessary" and
provide for a special bond issue Of
800. 100000.
At a brief meeting of the senate
foreign relations committee 1t was de
termined to take up today President
Wilson's request. Chairman Stone
said there had been no debate In com
mittee and that adjournment had beer
taken until today to permit members
to give the request careful eonsidera
tion before acting.
After conferences with Democratic
and Republican leaders, Chairman
Flood Of the house foreign affairs com
mittee introduced a bill authorizing
the president to arm merchant Ship
and use "such other instrumentalitie'
as necessary" to protect them on tn
high seas, and providing a special bont
issue of $100,000,000. The bill was re
ferred to the committee which begai

PROSPERITY WAVE
SWEEPING CAPITAL
TO7OO,OOOMARK

Opportunity is knocking at the
doors of the business men of Wash
inEton.
A wave Of prosperity has swept
over the city which will reach an
even higher crest as the years pass.
The population OF Washington will
be zoe, 700 by 1920.
These were some OF the statements
made by Ross p. Andrews, president
OF the Retail Merchants Association,
in an address yesterday before the
Rotary Club.
Payroll Vastly Larger.
Mr.. Andrews mentioned that the
Government payroll had been in
creased in the last few months from
some $4,000 clerks to $1,000, thus as
surfing the expenditure of millions
of additional dollars here annually,
and expressed the conviction that
most of these employees would be re-
tanned permanently. During the
Standardization war a large num-
Der OF employees were added TO the
rolls and practically all became perm
anent residents of Washington.
Two or three years ago 1t was
said that Washington had too many
hotels, that business was not profit
able" he said.
But long before the present war
a tide Of traffic set in to Washing
ton that proved a seven-day wonder
to hotel men. The hotel business has
more than doubled. Accommodation
are at a premium.
War Brings Thousands.
ttfTha Fe h-F- NEAVeonHd
OF people to Washington. o!d and
new officers of the army and navy
are bringing their families here and
establishing homes for them. Dis
tinguished civilians, giving their serv-
ices gratis, have made the National
Capital their temporary headquarters.
This has a bearing on the future
the time when peace is declared. 1t
means. that a majority of these people
will make Washington their perma-
nent home.
''It matters not what your line may
be, business is bound to be gloriously
good.
cit is not only difficult to get
room In q hotel, but transportation
facilities are being heavily pushed at
rush periods, another barometer OF
heavy influx Real estate men have
greater demands made on them than
ever before. The credit bureau OF the
Retail Merchants Association has
more queries on out-of-town names
than IL has ever known before
Preparedness is the watchword
now as it was a year ago, for Wash
ington has a destiny that is sure Of
realization. She will double her
population in the next three years.
In 1920 1t will be a Washington of
100000 population, and the seat OF
universal free government"
