Responses to these letters show that every senator communicate cd with is in accord with the plan. and that the fight will be made on this line.
 II is expected that LaFollette will resume his tactics tomorrow morn ing, but owing to the recent change of cloture rules. it will be impossible for him to prevent vote very long. It is believed that he will have the support of Senators Gronna and Nor ris, Republicans, and Stone and Kir- by, Democrats.
 The action of these senators has aroused much unfavorable comment on all sides in Washington, and has only strengthened the position of President Wilson and his supporters. Many teIegrams from the home states of these senators have been received at the White House re- pudiatng the opposition and assur- ing the President of undivided sup port.
 The resolution asking that a state of war be declared, as recommended, is practically unchanged from the form in which it was introduced, and the few changes made were all in phraseoIogy and do not affect the tenor or meaning in any way. These changes were reported to the house committee on foreign relations in or der to have the language of the reso- lution in both houses identical with view of facilitating it's passage. House leaders say 1t will pass the house tomorrow, and senate leaders predict it's passage late tomorrow night.

Hoover Declares it Was Due to

Went Unheeded

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 90
Blame for the present sugar shortage
north of Savannah and east of Pitts

and on manufacturers of candies and
other sweets by the Food Administra-

ministration said that had its recent
request for the curtailment of the use

new supplies are available.
The administration made this ex-

By this means the sugar con-
sumption of the area of plentiful sugar
south of Savannah and west of Pitts
burg-should be greatly reduced and
thus expedite the arrival of beet sugar
into the sparse area.

households than is needed from week

continue north of Savannah and east

Beet sugar will be sent into the

What Will 1t Buy?
Nv Scott Nearing

There are two questions that one
man may ask his neighbour, if he is
interested in the wage that he re-
ceives. One question is-"What do
you get?" The other is-"What will
it buy?"
The miser is interested in the first
question because he loves the clink of
the coins. The head of a family is
interested in the second question be-
cause he longs to see rosy, happy chill
dren about him. >The last is the big
question.
