GRANT REQUEST
Democrats Ready to COncede

But Republicans BaIky and May
Fight Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Cnairman
Flood of the house foreign affairs
committee. will introduce resolution
probably late today giving the presi-
dent the authority and power he
asked for in his address to congress.
The resolution will contain a pro-
vision appropriating $10O,00O,00O to
cover expenses of amy emergency"
1t will not give the president
blanket power it was said. for the
president Ito act on the offensive"
! Washington Feb. 26.=Following
President Wilson's speech this after
noon, Speaker Clark, Democrat Lead
er Kitchin, Chairman Flood of the
foreign affairs committee and Rep
resentative Fitzgerald, chairman of
the appropriation committee, went
into conference.
After the conference, Chairman
Flood of the foreign affairs commit
tee announced he would introduce
late today a bill granting power to
the president to arm ships and all
other authority necessary
While Democratic leaders were con-
ferring with Speaker Clark, Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury conferred
with others about the financial legis-
lation necessary
| A bitter fight however, is expected
to develop over the coming resolution
It was to stave off passage of such
resolution vesting the president with
such powers as he asked that the
Republicans last Friday began their
filibuster in the senate.
The president today, some Repub-
lican leaders declared, asked, as a mat
ter of fact, nothing but blanket sane
ton of any course he may see fit to
follow-shOrt of war.
AS a result there were Immediately
rum blings of resumption of the fight
to force congress into an extra ses-
sion.
Some indication of what will de-
velop along this line is expected to
show itself within twenty-four hours
proba bly, late today.

Abused Superlatives.

1t is hard to make people under
stand that the adjective almost in
variably weakens the noun, and that
the word ''very," for instance, does
not strengthen a statement, but quail
fies it. A good example might be
taken from the august communica-
tions of our president. who weakens
the word sincere by saying very
sincere" But the use of the super
lative is even more abused. We talk
of the 'unimpeachable" honesty of
somebody or other. knowing perfectly
well that anybody's honesty may be
impeached. What seems to be re-
quired is a readjustment of our ha
its of thought, and better teaching of
the value of words and even of the
usefulness of grammar. A superlative
necessarily involves an axiom. 1t
commits you, like saying the sum of
the angles of any triangle is equal to
two right angles. Your dilemma
arises when you try to prove it. I'M
pregnability' and :'invulnera bility,''
and all the other superlatives in such
general use are posing as axioms when
they are mostly fallacies.-Wall Street
