Amorlcan SOVeIutilcIt.
 The beginning of the war Of the rev olution marked the hour of the awaken ing in the breasts of the colonies of the irrepressible germ of liberty. The be- ginning of the civil war served as the initiation of the now we'll established theory that irrespective of the rights of states, the welfare of the union de- mands prime consideration.
 The beginning of the war between the United States and Germany denotes an- other stage in the period of transition. This government instead of a position or isolation. now assumes position of mar tial competition with the other great powers of the world. The United States has become engaged in European politics What the effect, when exerted through out the years of the future will be, one hesitates to venture a prediction.
 FROM PEACE TO WAR
 Seldom before in the history of the country. has Washington been more posi- lively established as the nerve center of the nation.
 In the course of the week, democrats, launching forward a united and uncheck- able column, overthrow the republicans. of equal strength, and with Champ Clark as speaker, organized the lower House of Congress.

The first report came from Man. tucket light vessel, which saw a strange ship passing west at 7:2C o'clock this morning, and promptly reported it to the Boston navy yard and the navy department. Destroyer flotillas are at sea in the vincinity ana presumably they heard the wireless warning which swept the coast line and set out to locate the mysterious craft.
 Meanwhile shipping was warned not to venture out.
 Soon afterward report of raider off the Virginia Capes came from Hamp- den Roads. where shipping also was held in port while armed craft went to sea to investigate.
 Navy officials expect many reports of raiders while the seacoast is at high ten sion, and many such probably will turn

Ire proposal for a bond issue to make possible monumental credit for the all lies already has been approved by some democratic and republican leaders in the Senate and House, and the administra- tion expects 1t to be presented formally in Congress within few days and ap- proved by the end of the next week. Some details remain to be worked out. but it is hoped that loan of possibly 8. 900, 900 .0oO to be expended without American profit will be available within three weeks or month at most
 SPECIAL TAXES
 After the bond authorization has been passed, the administration will urge spe- cial taxes and other revenue raising meas ures and then will come the army bill. on which committees will be at work while revenues are under consideration on the floor of the two houses.
 Today Secretary Baker explained the army bill to the House military committee and presented the Presidents urgent re- quest that it be approved with the selec- tive conscription feature and without un- necessary delay. The secretary em- phasized that the administration. on the expert advice of the general staff and in the light of lessons of the present war, was convinced the nation could accept it's responsibilities only through the com |pulsory system. He indicated. however. that there was no thought of sending an army to Europe, at least until the staff

 CONGRESS TO ACT
 The President expects Congress to fall in line quickly behind the war plans, the government in months of prepara- tion. Should delays develop in commit tee consideration of the revenue and army proposals, however. there are many lesser measures which could be pressed ahead for passage.

 The House naval committee already has under consideration and expects to re- port during the coming week three bills to strengthen the naval establishment One would provide for graduating the third-year class at the Naval academy in May of next year. Another would give the President the right to commanded small boats for the coast patrol and the third would allot an additional Maya Congress.
