would be their patriotic duty in the
face of an international crisis to
break down party lines regardless
of political misfortunes. The desire
of the house to keep its record clear
of any charge of tying President
Wilson's hands as the senate did, is
expected to play big part in con-
verting members to the bipartisan
proposal.
Republican Leader Mann is re-
ported as having said recently that

see it controlled by a small band
of "filibusterers.
Some Republicans who have been
arguing that their party should not
assume control of the house with
a big preparedness debt facing them
greet the bipartisan plan heartily.
They insist that in such unusual
times as the present it would be
only fair for both parties to share
equally the burden of meeting a
debt that was contracted on the

Austria, therefore, is placed in
the delicate position of either sac
rificing the manifest benefits she
receives from the continuance of
diplomatic relations with this coun-

believed that she has made her re-

dorsement of German position as

making It impossible to continue the
