HOUSE DEBATING
ARMED NEUTRALITY
Flood Measure Taken Up, With
Agreement to Vote After a
Three Hour Discussion.
WILSON FOR, SENATE BILL

Washington, March IAN amend
ment by Representative Cooper OF
Wisconsin to prohibit the artiiing OF
munitions ships under the ARMED neu-
trality bill was rejected by the house
tonight, 1917 to 100. =.
Washington, March 1-Spurred by
the developments OF the international
Situation, the house today tack up
the bill to clothe the president with
authority to deal with the German
submarine menace under an agree
ment to vote after three hours de-
bate. .'
The statement was made officially
that the White House stands behind
the bill as drawn in the senate first,
last and all the time and does not
approve the house bill in its entirety
because, it does not provide the other
instrumentalities," WHICH the president
desires, and proposes to refuse war in
surance to ships which carry NUM-
tionS. kFsS ~
The portions the administration
wants may be inserted on the floor
of the house or after the bill gets to
the senate. =,-
AT the outset OF the house debate
Chairman Flood aroused intense en-
thusiasm on both sides. Every refer
ence to Americas willingness to pro-
tect the rights of citizens wherever
they had a right to travel was met
with volley of applause. ,s -
He cited that authority for the
president to act as suggested in the
bill had been granted to other execu.
tives~in 1894, 1898, 1905, 1915, 1886
and 1856, and incidentally attacked
the paci6cists protesting against the
bill.
In 1893" he continued, Condition:
were much as they are today. Eng,
land and France were at war and
France was preying on commerce a:
Germany is today. Many people il
this country at that time said oui
rights should not be upheld and thai
to uphold them would lead to wal
with France. We gave the president
the power, our commerce was pro.
tected, our honor vindicated and wal
was ayerted." -

w. r. Baxter Says it Is Merely

Laws should be imposed as little
as possible, and then only temporar-

fuller self-control. The progress OF
the world depends on the progress
toward complete cooperation"

Lincoln, Neb., March l.-(Special
TelegramD.- this afternoon the
house finished its consideration of the
items in the maintenance bill and sent
it to third reading. A great deaH OF
discussion took place over an item to
raise the appropriation of the state
railway commission from $4,000 to
$4,000. &
Reischick, chairman of the finance
committee, made gallant fight to
keep the amount down to the sum
recommended by the committee,
which a gallant fight to keep the
amount down to the ,sum recon-
mended by the committee, which he
said was~a raise OF $4,000 more than
the appropriations of two years ago.
Thomas, Peterson. Nielsen, Good and
several others spoke in favor of the
increase, the former saying that the
commission had saved the state thou
sands of dollars in freight rates and
now that over $2,00000G was at stake
in the two-cent fare controversy, he
believed the house should give the
amount required.
Nielsen said his bill giving the met

telephone rates was killed because the

Democratic Leader ,Kitchin,. one of
the so-called pacifst group, an
nounced amid great applause that he
would vote for the bill.
Il shall vote for this bill, but not
without hesitation and misgiving,"
said Kitchin. "The nation confronts
the gravest crisis. 1t faces the SUI
premest responsibility to itself and
to the world. Already the European
catastrophe threatens the faith of
mankind in Christianity, in civiliza-
ton. The widening of that catas-
trophe by a great, powerful nation
like ours would seem to challenge the
rights of Christianity to exist. 1t
calls to the test the potency of civil
ization itself. The world holds its
breath at every step the congress
takes-at every utterance the presi-
dent makes.
Clothed with the powers given by
the constitution, a president of the
United States can, at his will, without
the hindrance of congress, create a
situation which makes the war the
only alternative of this nation.
"In reassertion of my confidence in
the sincerity of the earnest desire
but recently reiterated by the presi-
dent to avoid war, and in the hope
that he may use the confidence of
congress in him, which finds its un-
doubling expression in the passage of
this bill, to maintain peace, l give to
this measure my support"

Washington, March l.--Subscrip-
ton lon behalf of the government TO

stock Of the new federal land banks
was announced tonight BY Secretary
McAdoo. The small public subscrip-
tions to the stock, $l2009s for all
twelve banks, the secretary said, was
neither a surprise nor a disappoint-
ment. n ".
No special effort was made to Sc
cure public subscriptions" he ex-
planned, "the taking of the full amount
of stock being assured by the govern
ment underwriting. The fact that the
banks were unlikely to pay any divi-
dends on this stock during the first
year and that it ultimately will be re-
tired at par naturally made it unat-
tractive to investors. As far as the
interest of the banks is concerned, it
is TO their advantage that the stock
should be held by the government, as
individual stockholders arc entitled to
participate in dividends, while the
government is excluded by the terms
of the act from the receipt of divi-
.dends on its stock" . s,sl

Washington, March l.-Representa-

by this act we may not be able to

causes of that direful result. 1t may

ours. Give the president this power
asked and the question of war will be
with Germany. There is no doubt of
the right Of Americans to travel and
we should uphold tins right peace

we will do it with arms"

only seventeen. In two years more
