WAR EXISTS IN U. S,

Washington. April 6.-The resp
luton which has kept congress in
siege of oratory not surpassed in
a decade, and which has been
passed formally by each house and
signed by the president. is not
strictly speaking, a declaration of
war, altho it has the same general
meaning. The resolution declares
that the nation recognizes a state of
war exists-thru Germanys overt
actions towards the United States
The resolution reads:
Whereas. the imperial German
government has committed re-
peated acts of war against the gov
ernment and the people of the
United States of America, therefore
be it
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives of the United
States of America in congress as
sembled that the state of war be-
tween the United States and the inn
perial German government which
has thus been thrust upon the
United States is hereby formally de-
clared. and that the president be

directed to employ the entire naval
and military forces of the United
States and the resources of the gov
ernment and to bring the conflict
to a successful termina ton. all of
the resources of the country being
hereby pledged by the congress of

z KANSANS ANTI

Against War Resolution.

Regiment Officer.

Washington. April 6.-Two Kansas
representatives failed to back up the
president" in the vote on the war res
oIution which was passed at 3 O'Clock
this morning in the house. Connolly
of the Sixth district and Little of the
Second, voted with the opposition
which scored so votes against the res
olution. to 373 for it.
That Colonel Little cast his vote
with the so-called pacifist crowd
caused much comment in view Of the
fact that the colonel is an eX-SOldier
and a personal friend of the late Cen
eraI Funston and also of the late
Lord Kitchener. Colonel Little was p
pointed as lieutenant colonel of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment by Fun
Ston when the regiment was organized
in 1898 He served thru the Philip

ment commanding it in a number of
battles.

U-BOATS IN GULF
Score Already in Mexican Wa
ters, Z. S. Learns.
Use Mexican Base as Designed
i'm Zimmerman Plot.

Washington. April 6-Persistent but
man submarines waiting in the Gulf
of Mexico for the opening of hostil-
tiles of the United States were further
supported today by advices to the
government from Europe.
The full nature of the governments
information is not disclosed, but it
was received from one of the neutrals
contiguous to Germany which has
served as a clearing house for German
information since the severance of
diplomatic relations. 1t was reported
that more than a score of German
submarines were already in Mexican
waters.
Persons here who have been giving
attention to the subject think the esti-
mate of numbers is high, but feel no
doubt that German submarines are
somewhere on this side of the Atlantic,
most probably in Mexican waters. and
that some of them have been there
since early in February.
There is no doubt here that if the
U-boats are in the gulf they are being
supplied from Mexican shore bases.
Those who hold these views also are
preaching the arrangements proposed
by Foreign Minister zimmerman in
his celebrated communication intend
ed for General Carranza. have been
achieved and that the whole matter.
including the supplying of submarines
from Mexican shores was arranged by
Mexican Minister Zubaran in Berlin.

SOLDIER BOYS OF KANSAS

Oh! The soldier boys arc marching
To the trumpet and the drum.
When they hear their country calling
BY the millions they will come.
When the Lewis guns will rattle
Upon armOred cars of steel
In the forefront of the battle
Will resound the marching heel
Or the soldier boy from Kansas
To his country true and leal.
Oh, his country calls the soldier boy
from Kansas!
Oh! It's very gratifying
To be marching down the street,
With a thousand flags afIying
And a thousand cheers to greet
Each defender of his country
Clad in khaki trim and neat
But it's quite another story
When the guns begin to roar
Above the lines of battered trench
The Boche's war planes soar,
Then comes the test of manhOod's
strength
Midst scenes of blood and gore.
Then they'll see who are the soldier
boys from Kansas!
Oh! My country! MY country!
VIII the soldier boys respond?
Will they march with quick unfIinch-
ing feet
Into the death beyond?
There is many IA thing that is worse
than death
Upon this earth below.
And many thing that is better than
life
As you, my man, may know,
And to answer the call of your coun-
try's need
'Tis your bounden dut- TO go.
Oh, your country calls you, soldier
boys of Kansas!

PREDICTS VICTORY
Army Bill Expected to Pass
by Saturday and Be a Law
in Week or So.

Washington. April 25.-Although
Speaker Clark took the floor in the
house today and aroused great enthu-
siasm among opponents of the ad-
ministration army bill by his vigorous
denunciation of the selective draft and
defense of the volunteer system, cham
pions Of the measure still were conf
dent tonight that it would pass not
later than Saturday, virtually as ap-
proved by the president.
1t was announced that a poll Of the
house disclosed favorable ma ajcrity
of between 60 and 20. Passage of the
bill in the senate is considered as
sured and unanimous consent to vote
on it there by Saturday will be sought
tomorrow. Minor changes made in one
house or the other probably will neces-
state a con ference so that the bill is
not likely to become law for a week
or more.
Speaker Clark urged that the volun-
teer system be tried again apd de-
clared that in the minds of the people
OF his state the word "conscript" is
classed with Convict" Applause fire.

Many thousands of German dead
strew the battlefields over which the
British and Germans have been en-
gagged for the past three days in titan

also have captured the Hamlet of Bill

fire. Heavy casualties were inflicted
on the Germans in an effort to wrest
the Hurtebise farm from the French.
In Belgium artillery due1s continue,
especially near Dxmude.
On the Carso plateau OF the Austro-
Italian theater the Austrians south Of
GoriZia attacked Italian positions and
at one point succeeded in recapturing
n vantage point previously taken from
them by the Italians. The concen-
tration of troops in the Trentino region

probably rresaging an early offensive
there.
