DEBATE IN TWO HOUSES
 WAS UNEXPECTEDLY BRIEF

Debate in both houses was unexpect- edly brief, lasting only an hour in the Senate and only two hours and forty minutes in the house. Also, in sharp contrast to the discussion whicn preceded the war declaration against Germany last April, it was almost de- void of spectacular features. Members apparently acted in common accord to expedite action, the few who spoke refraining from extended discussion.
 The Senate acted first on the reso- lution presented by Chairman Stone with the unanimous indorsement Of the foreign relations committee soon after the Senate concluded routine business. After brief addresses by Sem ator Stone, Lodge, Hitchcock, Owen and Vardaman the roll call followed When the document was transmitted to the House it was substituted there by unanimous consent for the more lengthy resolution reported by the House foreign relations committee after conferences with state depart- meDt officials

ONCE USEFUL" SENATORS
 JOIN WITH MAJORITY

Senators Stone, who had charge of the resolution, Gronna, Norris and varda- man, who voted against the German declaration, today joined the majority. A fifth, former Senator Lane of Oregon, has since died. Senator LaFollette, who also opposed war with Germany, was absent when the roll call YVES taken, and did not vote. Later he addressed the Senate, explaining that he did not hear the summons to vote, which was taken while he was at his office prepar- ing an amendment providing that the United States should not observe any agreement of the entente allies to de- prive or control any territory of Austria held August 1, 1914. The Wisconsin sen ato1 said with inclusion of this amend ment he would have voted for the war resolution, but against it without his be- Ia tad rrnnnSal

FLOOD LEADS DEBATE
 IN THE LOWER HOUSE

House debate was led by Chairman Flood of the foreign affairs committee and acting Republican Leader Gillette. both of whom recited Austria's aggres- sicns against this government and it's citizens. MT Gillette also detailed views held by those who also favor war with Turkey and Bulgaria. Scant interest was manifested by members in the House discussion. It dragged along with only few members present during most of the time.
 Explaining her vote for the resolution, Representative Rankin of Montana, who shed tears when voting against the Ger man declaration said she still believed war stupid and futile" and would be avoided when the people. including wcmen. instead of the special privileged interests controlled the world. She de- clared she supported this resolution be- cause 1t was merely technicality in prosecuting war already declared.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-08
NECESSITY OF WAR IS
 REASON ADVANCED

Necessity for cooperative military ac- tion of the allies was the principal req son advanced in debate for immediate passage of the Austrian resolution. Sem ator Stone said American troops might
 soon face Austrian forces through ex- tension of the western front to Italy by tho interallied war council. He pointed out that the two nations actually have been at war for months.
 Urging unanimous indorsement of the resolution and deploring any action which might embarrass the President or any effort to amend the resolution to in-
 clude Turkey and Bulgaria, Senator Lodge, senior republican member of the foreign relations committee, gave req sons why, he said, a majority of the Senate favored formal declarations against Germany's other two allies He indicted the Turkish government as a
 ''curse to modern civilization" and ex- pressed hope for it's extinction.
 Senator Hitchcock. democrat urged that the declaration against Austria should not be construed as indorsement of what he termed Italy's exorbitant demands Against Austria. He predicted justice for Austria in the peace settle ant

Well Known Fargo
Nurse Becomes Bride

Miss Elizabeth Wegge and Alaf
Gronaaf, both of Fargo, were very
quietly married Monday afternoon at
2 o'clock at the residence OF the Of
floating pastor, Rev. E. r. Anderson,
of the First Lutheran church. The
couples attendants were Mr.. and
Mrs. p. A. Smedsrud, of Fargo. The
bride wore her pretty travelling suit
of gray, with trimmings of blue, and
her hat was designed to correspond.
Her flowers were a corsage bouquet
of tea roses.
Shortly after the ceremony the
wedding party had lunch at How
ards cafe, and at $40 o'clock in the
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Gronaaf left
for Shoreham, where they will en-
joy an outing Of about ten days. Up
on their return to Fargo they will
be at home for q short time at S22

War Having Marked
Effect on Women's
Manner of Dress

One of the most marked effects OF
the war is upon women's dress, COM
ments a leading fashion critic. who
states further:
There has never been a time when
women were more willing to accept
standard dress or uniforms than they
are at present. All uniforms have
acquired dignity In women's eyes
The housemaid does not object to the
cap and apron badge of servitude, the
worker In the bank dons an overall
cheerfully, women in various organ
izati0ns wear their khaki, the Red
Cross and volunteer aid workers are
proud of their uniforms"
An expert French designer, discus
sing these changes, says:
There always will be the women
who want fripperies, the women who
try to insist upon something quite diff
ferent from the style OF the moment
but nowadays their number is greatly
diminished. The uniform idea has ar
rived. 1t may mean the total ex-
tinction Of dressmaking as creative
art, but there will be developments
on other lines.
There has never been a great war
which has not influenced fashion in a
picturesque or even gruesome fash
ion and this world war has done its
share. We had a fashion adapted as
a compliment to each ally, the Rus
sian caps and tunics, the Bersaglieri
hats of the Italian soldiers, and the
Serbian colors Scotch plaids have
given the Parisiennes great Joy.
Khaki shades are in vogue for
spring and summer costumes, and the
blue gray, with touches of crimson
of the French uniforms is seen here
and there"
