-. Washington, March 3. - A bill to
empower the President to arm mer'
chant ships but not extending the au-
thority he requested to "use other
instrumentalities" in defending Amer
ican rights against the submarine
menace, has been passed by the
House by vote of 403 to 10.
Speaker Clark announced the vote
amid applause and cheering. Oppo
sition to the bill had faded before
patriotic appeals from leaders on both
sides and when the roll was called
only nine Republicans, three Demo
Gratis and the Socialist voted no.
Senate Will Likely Substitute.
The measure was sent to the Sen,
ate where it is expected the Senate
committees bill, approved by the Pres
ident and authorizing not only the
arming of ships but the employment
Of "other instrumentalities' will be
substituted.
All proposed amendments to the
measure except those added in COM
mittee were rejected by the House
under an avalanche of votes.

the European war began to agitate the
House almost three years ago has
there been such a display Of patriot.

while the bill was being considered.
Pacifists Join Fight.
Democrats and Republicans, even
most of the members who have hith.
erto aligned themselves with the pa
cffist group, joined in fighting for the
bill.
Representative Bailey of Pennsyl

ing the views of William Jennings
Bryan, voted in the affirmative and
announced his intention in advance.
Democratic Leader Kitchin, who
heretofore always has stood against
the Administration preparedness
plan, and Republican Leader Mann,
whose utterances often have been
strongly opposed to the Presidents
policies, voted "yes"; the
latter having supported it in vigor-
GUS spirit.
Opposition Is Small.
Led by Representative Cooper OF
Wisconsin and Campbell of Kansas,
both Republicans, opponents of the
measure made a determined fight.
They were not united on any one spe.
cific objection.
Representative Cooper contended
that the bill would authorize discrim.
ination against Germany in that is
would permit the arming of ships car.
rying munitions to the Allies and that
by arming such ships the United
States would commit an act of war.
Representative Campbell contend
ed that passage Of the bill would be
equivalent to surrender by Congress of
Its right to make war.
