Action in the senate came just
 after II o'clock at the close of a
 debate which had lasted continu-
 ously since 10 o'clock this morn
 ing The climax was reached
 late in the afternoon when Sena-
 tor John Sharp Williams denOunc-
 ed q speech by Senator Lafollette
 as more worthy of Herr von Beth
 mann-Hollweg than of an Ameri-
 can senator.
 The passage of the resolution was not marked by any outburst from the galleries and on the floor the senators themselves were unusually grave and uuiet. Many of them answered their names in voices that Quivered with emotion.
 The galleries were filled to over flowing. and on the floor back of the senator's seats were almost half the membership of the house. In the dip lomatic gallery was Secretary Lam sing. Counsellor Polk of the state de partment: Minister CalderOn of Boliv- ia and Minister Ekengren of Sweden. Earlier in the evening. pr. Ritter. the Swiss minister in charge of German interests in this country, had been present.
 Secretary McAdoo was on the floor during the last few hours of the de bate.
 As the last name was called and the clerk announced the vote. S2 to 6. there was hardly murmur of ap- plause.

Britain Faces Food Famine and
 Vital Need of Million More Men
(By Review Leased HEire)

LONDON, April 4. - General Sir William R. Robertson, chief of the imperial staff at army headquarters, addressed a conference of trades un- ionists today for the purpose of eN plaining the governments proposal on the question of man power. General Robertson emphasized the fact that while the war office was not a leech. it must have more men to meet the desperate effort the enemy was now making. His speech. as officially given out. was in part as follows:
 Our progress with the war is bound to be slow because of the col ossal numbers engaged and because at the start. It is a difficult and long business to make up for, bad start.
 Germany Not Whipped
 AS to the retreat from the Somme the pessimists say Germany is mak. ing fools of us and laying traps. We are not in any way disturbed by her. At all times pessimists are towards, while in war time they may be class ed as criminals. Whatever happens, keep cheerful face. The optimists say Germany is defeated and is there fore retreatting. Both are wrong.
 Enemy Stroneern Ever
 Germany is retiring because she cannot stand up to her punishment in the positions she occupied. No one retires in war voluntarily. But she is not yet beaten. She is going back in the hope of becoming stronger, and numerically she is stronger now than at any time during the war. She has now many more divisions in the field than last year, and has increased the number of her soldiers by about million.
 More Men Needed
 We must meet the desperate
 enemy effort and must have men.
 We ought not to expect to win a
 war such as this unless. and un-
 til every man and woman in the
 country does a full days work of
 an essential nature. Our imme-
 diate needs are half million be-
 tween now and July.
 Victory Far Away
 Don't think that I am Respondent l am perfectly confident of success, provided we are determined to win. But the way to victory may be long. and certainly will be hard. Our navy has saved us from the horrors of war being brought to our homes. with the result that many Of our people are still ignorant of the urgency of our position or of the sacrifices and mis- cries our allies have had to bear But We may be made to realize them one day if We failed before it is too late. to crush the overbearing spirit which

 The President, as commander in-chief, already has approved the basis adopted for the war army. Secretary Baker said today the measure would go to the house and senate committees as soon as the war resolution was adopted. Major General Scott, chief of staff will explain the plan and the military reasons for the need to train the number of hen the bill will provide. This is believed to be not less than two million to be trained within two years.

POO SHELTERS ORDERED
 In the navy department Secretary Daniels announced that contracts for approximately 200 submarine chasers or coast patrol boats had been let and additional contracts were being signed each day. Preparations to take into the service huge fleet of small motor craft also are being completed.
 Mir. Daniels conferred today with Captin Wilson. chief of the entire pa trol service on the Atlantic seaboard.
 Conferences also were held with the engineering experts of the department as to the possibility of increasing the of 11O foot patrol craft to be ordered. The department will order all that can be built.
 Army Plan Develops
 The scope of the war departments army plan is gradually becoming clear although the details are being with held until they are sent to congress.
 Included in the scheme must be the funds and equipment necessary to es- tablish artillery training on basis never before attempted in the United States. Warfare has changed in the European struggle. Mimic trench war fare must replace much of the old open order skirmish drill. supplement- ed with hard marching and vigorous physical exercises to harden the men as quickly as possible.
 Boys of 20 to 30 First
 There are many indications that if is proposed to build up fighting ma chine composed exclusively of men in their twenties and each man free from home responsibilities or cares that might embarrass his soldierly quality. A perfect military weapon is to be officers say, if the army's plan is accepted by congress. It will take time and money but will furnish such a force as will make its weight felt against any troops in the world.
 High Standards Kept
 Presumably the oldest men within the prescribed limits would be called out first. These classes would yield the smallest number of training, for the percentage of men to assume fam fly responsibility goes up rapidly after twenty years is reached. They would be- however men in their most vfsor. ous years ready for any hardship Each (Continued on Page Seven)
