r0NpARTlsAN VOTE OF 4o3 TO l3 FOR ARMED NEUTRALITY
,,tbusiastic Applause an q bushi Cheering in the House-Oppo-
 s;t;on Fades Before Patriotic
 Appeals.

Washington, March IA bill to .nower the president to arm mer-
 . .sant ships. but not extending the au- l .saritv .ba he requested to use "other in
 s.mmentalities, m in defending Ameri-
 .sn rights against the submarine
 nsnace, was passed by the House to-
 aisbt by nonpartisan vote of 4O3 to iS
 Sneaker Clark announced the vote amid enthusiastic applause and cheer ipg. Opposition to the bill had faded during the day before patriotic ap- nsals from leaders on both sides of the House and when the roll was called oulv nine Republicans, three Demo- ,,ats and the Socialist voted in the negative.
 The measure was sent over to the Senate. where it is expected the Sen ate committees bill, approved by the nresident and authorizing not only the ,rming 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 |
 Display of Patriotism. Never since questions arising out of the European war began to agitate the House almost three years ago has there been such a display of patriotic
 nOnpartisanship as was witnessed to- day in the chamber.
 Democrats and Republicans, ever most of the members who heretofore have aligned themselves with the eX. treme pacifst group, joined in fighting for the bill.
 Representative Bailey of Pennsyl.
 vania, generally recognized as reflect.
 ing the views of William Jennings
 Bryan, voted in the affirmative anC
 announced his intention in advance.
 Both Democratic Leader Kitchin
 who heretofore always has stood
 against the administrators prepared
 ness plans, and Republican Leader
 hann, whose utterances often hay,
 been strongly opposed to the presi
 dents international policies in man,
 particulars, voted for the measure
 the latter having supported it in ,
 vigorous speech.
 From the time the rule for consid
 efatlon of the bill was brought up il
 the House shortly after noon until tn,
 anal roll call was taken. 10 hours late
 'ne result was never in doubt. Predic
 'lons that the negative vote would no
 exceed dozen were frequently heard
