Halls REFORM MOVE
Chancellor's Commission Is
Called Halfway Action
by Some, However.

Amsterdam. April 1.-yia London
Satisfaction is expressed by the Ger
man newspapers regarding the ap-
pointment of commission OF Ma.
tional Liberals to discuss constitution
al reforms in Germany. The Vossische
Zeitung says:
This is a gratifying political event
which will have considerable Influence
in the future development of the con
stitution and may prove to be foun-
dation for the erection Of new Ger
man house. ..
The Tageblatt says:
An overwhelming majority in the
reichtsag has an earnest desire ia
adapt German and Prussian conditions
to the new times. The demand for the
reconstruction of Prussia in general
and a Prussian electoral law in par
ticular, apart from the carrying into
effect Of real parliamentarism, stands
foremost. GA#
The Lokal Anziegger says:
The chancellor must see that his
manner has satisfied neither the right
nor the left Of the reichstag. Some
want deeds while others merely are
displeased with his words.
The Vorwaerts says:
Much would he lost If this commit.
tee again proved impotent. The task
OF the committee is to show that the
German nation can as we'll demand
that respect for itself as can other
civilized nations.
The Munich Post says
By failing to introduce universal
suffrage the chancellor missed q
golden opportunity of showing that
Germany no longer was dominated by
reactionary Prussia.
Tho Vienna Belt says:
IL Russia. amidst war, could fine
time for great revolution Prussia
must also find time for a small fran.
chise reform.
DIR. Victor Adler leader of the Aus.
trian Social Democrats, says in the
Vienna Prussia:
The Russian revolution has creatcc
new situation in Europe. For Aus.
tria new era has begun. Competition
with freedom in Russia will be hare
and Austria must prepare for 1t.

PETROGRAD APPEARS
TO BE IN NO DANGER

PetrOgrad, April 1.--Via London,
April 2.-"No serious activity may be
expected on this front in the near fu-
turc. The melting snow which rem
ders the roads and rivers impossible
precludes any big operations"
This declaration of the Russian war
minister. Alexander Guchkoff at Staff
headquarters. after a visit to the
northern front. appears to dissipate
the alarm created by the startling
warning OF the war minister week
ago that the capital itself was men,
aced by threatened German attack.

The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-04-02

Washington, April IA congress
called in extraordinary session by the
president will meet tomorrow to de-
termine the most important issues be-
fore the people of the United States
since the civil war. It is considered a
foregone conclusion that it either will
declare war against Germany or de-
clare that state of war exists
President Wilson has completed the
message he will deliver to congress
and is ready to address joint session
as soon as he gets word that both
houses have been organized and are
ready to hear him.
Either before or directly after his
address the president is expected to
confer with congressional leaders re-
garding the specific legislation desired
by the administration.
Meet at Noon.
Both houses meet at noon tomorrow,
The senate. already organized, will be
ready to transact business, but in view
OF the fact that any war resolution Is
expected to carry an appropriation, it
is expected that action will wait on
the house. Democrats and Republic
ans of the house have cleared the way
for an immediate effort to organize
and the belief was general tonight that
the Democrats would re-assume con-
troll with Speaker Clark in the chair
within few hours after the session
begins.
There is little doubt that a war rcso-
luton will be passed by large ma
jorities in both houses There are little
groups of pacifists opposed to war ex-
ccpt to resist invasion, who will vote
and probably talk against any war
like moves. There are other groups
who have their own ideas about what
the United States should do in the
present situation, but none is strong
enough to prevent action or seriously
impede it's progress.
In the house there probably will be
no persistent opposition unless 1t
comes from members who favor more
far-reaching action than the presi-
dent recommends. The senate has its
new cloture rule to limit debate If a
small group there undertakes to delay
action.
Besides War Issue.
Aside from the war resolution and
the appropriations, which probably
will accompany it, there is not much
pending legislation that leaders believe
necessary to enact before next winter.
The appropriation measures which
failed at the last session. particularly
the army bill. the anfcnu nlunts to the
shipping act giving the government
some changes in the federal reserve
act and legislation to curb spying are
among the things which probably will
be deemed essential to prosecution of
Whatever course Is determined upon
Additional revenue legislation and
in existence to be carried in the war
resolution will depend on how active
the United States becomes in the wal,
Universal Training.
EFFORTS are certain to be made to
put through universal military train
ing bill even If President Wilson does
not indorse 1t. There swill be much
opposition to it. particularly if the
belief gains currency that such legis-
lation would pave the way for the
sending of an expcditionary force to
Europe.
There has been much talk of a bond
issue to provide a loan or credit to
France of from $5OO.OOO,00O to $1,000

Patrol Boats Victims.

London, Nov. .3.-One German
cruiser and ten armed patrol boats
were sunk by British destroyers in
a battle in Scandinavian waters, it
was announced today by the admiral
ty.
According to Copenhagen dis
patches describing the action, the
German auxiliary cruisers sunk was
the Marie, Of Flensburg, vessel of
three thousand tons. She was liter
ally overwhelmed by the deadly ac-
curacy and rapidity of the British
fire and sank. aflame, ten minutes
after starting the engagement. Her
commander, Captain Lauterbach, was
one of seven German survivors
brought into Copenhagen wounded
MY vessels four guns were al
most unworkable because of the hail
OF fire which. the enemy destroyers
centered on us" he declared. "Wc
we're soon mass Of flames"
The German warship carried 6-inch
guns. She was sunk at a point
about twelve miles north of Kullen.
OF the crew of eighty-one aboard
the ship thirty were killed, accord
ing to Copenhagen. A Spanish
steamer brought seven wounded
Germans into the Danish seaport to-
day. Dcstroyers are supposed to
have rescued the other survivors.

toned sixty-four prisoners having
been taken.
The British squadron suffered no
osses. it was officially stated. The
British fleet was referred to as "our
naval forces operating in the Katie

WOOD SEES NO EARLY PEACE
War May Last Seven Years More,
the General Said at Saliaa

Salina, Kas, Oct. 3l.-According
to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, the war
between Germany and her allies may
last until 1924. General Wood was in
Salina a short time today. He spoke
at Ellsworth this afternoon and
speaks at Manhattan tonight.
ut is my guess the war will last
from three to seven years longer"
said the general, "and America has
the largest task on her hands that
has ever confronted her. am try
ing in my lectures to impress upon
the people the magnitude of this
great task of ours. The war is far
from being over, and that one of the
most important methods of prepara-
ton is conservation" st
The general said that the drafted
men at Camp Funston are making
the finest soldiers in the division.

600 Saloons Close,

Chicago, Oct. 3I.-With the close
OF business tonight there will be on
ly 6,ooo or SO licensed bars. About
GOO saloons will close.
Under the Harkins' law, passed
several years ago, Illinois cities are
allowed one saloon to every 500 per-
sons. There were about 1000 in
Chicago at the time. and the courts
ruled that those existing could not
be eliminated. The decisions provid-
ed, however. that as licenses lapsed
they could be renewed until the 500
to-I ratio had been reached. War
taxes and restrictions have injured
the business, and today, the last of
the licensing period. more than GOO
saloon keepers had failed to apply
for renewals. This puts them defi-
nitely out Of business. Prohibition
leaders predicted that by May II
there would be 5000 Saloons, which
On the basis of a population of e.
100000, would bring the ratio to
legal requirements.
