LEADERS ASSERT CONGRESS
WILL BACK THE PRESIDENT


Washington. March 22.-The sentl-
ment in congress is understood to be
overwhelmingly in favor of declara-
ton that as a result of Germany's acts
against the United States n state Of
war already exists.
President Wilson's action was fol-
lowed quickly by predictions at the
capitol that congress speedily would
declare state Of war existing.
The presidents call caused q shift
ing Of figures of party strength on the
organization lineup in the house. The
Democrats, in counting on 215 men,
bers for organization purposes, have
included successor to Representative
Conry Of New York, who died recent
ly, but the election in that district
called by Governor Whitman will not
be held until ten days after the extra
session convenes. This will even up
the vacancy in the New Hampshire
Republican, where an election will not
take place until May.
AS the forecasts stand now the Dem
ocrats count on pa straight party
votes. and three Independents.
WORD was received from Majority
Leader Kitchin that Democratic eau
Gus to consider organization will be
held March 80. His call was issued
from his North Carolina home.
Chairman Flood of the house foreign
affairs committee said: Congress
will declare that state of war exists,
will indorse the presidents stand and
will make whatever appropriations are
necessary to enable the president to
carry forward the war plans as quickly
as possible.
There probably will be an appropri-
alton of very much more than the
$100,0O0,000 proposed in the armed
neutrality bill which passed the house
and failed in the senate. There will
not be any material opposition to i'm
mediate Legislation along these lines"
Senator PoindeXter, Republican, of
Washington, said that congress will
pass quickly law authorizing q limit
ed war on German submarines.
II expect congress-" he said, ito
take vigorous action Immediately"
Senator Lewis, the Democratic whip,
declared he believed congress would be
practically united behind the presi-
