QUIET TRIP PALLS ON
ST. LOUIS VOYAGERS
Passengers on Armed American
Ship Disappointed At Miss
ing Submarines.

A BRITISH PORT, March 26.-Pas-
sengers on the American liner st.
Louis, first armed ship to brave the
submarine zone, found the voyage dis
sppointingly dull and unsventful. The
only diversion was the daily gun prac-
tice-with icebergs for targets.
Philip Klein, son Of the dramatist,
Charles Klein, who lost his life
through torpedoing OF the Lusitania,
was one OF the passengers aboard the
st. Louis.
c. ]. Moddermann, a Dutch citizen.
living in the West Indies, insisted 1t
was a. very disappointing trip" The
lifeboats, however, were kept slung
outward from the davits after the
fourth day out of New York. The
ship was dark at nights and no pas
sengers allowed on the decks,
at was an awfully lonesome trip"
remarked Miss Mabel Mott, of Kansas
City. There were only thirty-st<>bas-
sengers."
Arrival of the st. Louis created no
excitement The townspeople and Of
ficials seemed to regard the safe ar
rival of the ship a foregone conclu-
sion. There was no crowd AZ the
docks.
Just before port was reached the st.
Louis passed another steamer. the
crew of which lined the rails and gave
rousing cheers to the American flag
and the first armed liner.

CLARK FOR RULE CHANGES
Would Have Certain Duties Of
Speaker More Clearly Defined.

II Champ Clark is reelected Speak
eI of the House-and he probably
will be-he wants a few changes
made in the rules in order that GER
tain duties of the presiding officer
may be more clearly defined. The
Speaker does not anticipate a "rules
fight" in the usual sense, at this
session, but he said today there were
several kinks in the House rules
which should be Strengthened out.
There is the debatable question of
committee Jurisdiction. which con-
Germs probably a half dozen commit
tees of the House." said Speaker
Clark. "The Speaker, in referring
bills, is somewhat troubled by the
indefiniteness of the rules on this
subject. There is conflict in some
matters between the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries, head
ed by Judge Alexander, of Missouri,
and the Committee on Territories
headed by Judge Houston, of Ten
nessee. There arise occasions when
the Speaker is in doubt about which
committee should receive a bill.
There is also a mix-up in the
Jurisdiction of the Judiciary Com
mittee and the Interstate Commerce
Committee. This was shown during
the consideration of antitrust legis-
lation. A part OF this legislation was
reported out by the Judiciary Com
mittee, while the Interstate Com
merce Committee reported out other
portions of the antitrust program.
Confusion also results occasional
~ because of the rules relating to the
report of special rules from'the Com.
mittee on Rules and motions to go
into Committee OF the Whole, and
consider an appropriation bill. In
one place the House rules say II is
always in order to present a privil-
eyed report from the Committee on
Rules; in another place the rules say
II is always in order to move to go
into Committee OF the Whole and
consider one OF the appropriation
bills"

TO DEFEND NATIONAL GUARD
Champions In Congress VIII Point
to Quick Mobilization.

Reports from various parts OF the
country as to quick mobilization OF
national guard regiments in response
to the recent call for duty in guard
ing property will be utilized by the
supporters OF the guard in Congress
in protecting 1t against any hostile
legislation.
From numerous States reports are
coming in that the national guard
regiments, profiting by their training
on the Mexican border, mobilized in
the present instance with great rap
idity.
The question OF universal training
will be an issue in the extra Session.
II will have much opposition. Those
who believe in the national guard and
the volunteer system will cite the re-
cent mobilization as evidence OF the
improvement in the guard and an in
dication that the volunteer system can
be relied upon.

ENGINEERS TRAIN
FOR WAR SERVICE
Reserve Corps Classes Receive
Special instruction at Wash
ington Barracks.

In order to get as much training as
possible before they are actually mus
tered into the military service. more
than 100 officers OF the Engineer Re
serve Corps, and many other engineers
who are shortly to take examinations
for commissions. are attending classes
at the Engineers School at Washing
ton Barracks.
The first OF the classes was held
yesterday afternoon, and more than
100 engineers attended. Col. Macon
Patrick, of the First Engineer Corps,
and commandant of the Engineer
School, addressed the class.
The idea OF arranging to have the
engineer reserve officers attend these
classes originated with Major Glenn
Smith, OF the Geological Survey, and
Major John II. Finney, botn II whom
are in the Engineers Reserve Corps.
Major Finney will have active
charge of lining up the engineers OF
Washington for the classes. and asks

AWAITS DEVELOPMENTS
Wilson to Write Address to Con-
aress at Last Moment.

President Wilson will not write his
address to Congress on the German
situation until the. hight before he ap-
pears before that'body, because elev-
enth-hour developments may be vital
This declaration was made today.
1t was automatically stated that the
President has not yet decided upon the
policy he will pursue in presenting the
situation to Congressional is, whether
he will ask for an actual declaration Of
war against Germany.
Those best informed are of the opin-
ion that the President viii simply give
a concise review Of the alleged viola
tons of pledges and. International law
Committed by Germany Spce the Sussex
issue was settled. and leave the maj
decision with Congress. without any d.
rect recommendations as to the course
that should be adopted.
Others profess to know that the
President has decided to make nat
appeal to Congress for either de-
claration that a state of war" al
ready exists or a declaration of war.
The Administration is nettled over
constant reports as to the probable
policy of the President. Cognizance
has been taken of the utterances of
several members of Congress, who
are accused OF talking too much and
divulging confidential information.
1t is expected that the President will
attempt to put a check on Congress-
men with whom he confers regarding
the international situation
The President continued busy today
with the multifarious details of the
preparedness plans and was in con-
slant touch with the military and
naval heads throughout the day. 1t
might be said that he is personally
directing all the preparedness activi-
ties
1t is not improbable that the Presi-
dent may go to the Capitol some day
this week and confer with Senate and
House leaders. His plan is to make
the preparations for the adoption of
q definite policy as nonpartisan as
possible, and doubtless will confer
with Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis.

dents here are seeking to compel

Republican Congressman Admit
They Are Puzzled Over House
Organization Issue.

ion of the party"
It is believed at the Capitol that
IL a temporary organization is form
ed only the following committees will
be named: Ways and Means, APP
propriations, Rules, Mileage, Foreign
Affairs, Naval Affairs, and Military
Affairs. Organization of the remain
ing forty-odd committees would
await the permanent organization at
the beginning of the regular session.
Might BE Cumbersome.
In Republican ranks there Is more
sentiment in favor of a provisional
organization than a bipartisan organi-
zation of the House. There is a gen
eral fear the latter would be cumber-
some.
Congressman Towner, an Iowa Re-
publican, was one of the first advo-
Gates of a provisional organization
He issued a statement recently recon-
mending that for a limited time the
House proceed with a half dozen COM
mittees, and the necessary officers, and
that no partisan legislation be at
tempted while the provision organiza-
tion remained in effect.
Minority Leader Mann stands today
where he stood yesterday-as ex-
clusively quoted in The Times. The
minority leader Is willing to with
draw from the Speakership contest at
this critical juncture and erect
nonpartisan or bipartisan organiza-
tion. However, as the Republican can
didate for Speaker he will subscribe
to the will of the majority IL his party
desires him to remain in the race.
Personally Mr.. Mann believes there
should be no partisan contest or
deadlock when the House organizes.
Confident of Strength.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Mann is confident
the Republicans have enough votes to
control the organization If partisan
showdown is forced.
"If the Democrats organize the
House." he said today, "we will know
1t was by trades"
Democratic leaders say there Is "a
bare chance only" that the Repuoh-
cans can control. Confidence per-
meates the Democratic ranks. In
conference with several of his col
leagues one of the Democratic lead
ers said:
81 am practically certain we Will
organize, but the Republicans have
a bare chance. Therefore l would
not recommend that any bets be plac-
ed on the result"
CONGRESSMAN Charles r. Randall,
Prohibitionist, one of the independent
five" of the House, reached Washing
ton at midnight last night and pre-
dicted a Democratic organization.
He said he believed the Demo-
Gratis would muster sufficient
independent votes to control 'as the
independents do not want a partisan
ight under the present conditions"
Mr.. Randall declined to give the
names of his independent colleagues
who would vote with the Democrats.
The claims by Republicans hereto
fore have been that Congressman
Schall, Fuller and Martin (of Louis
lanai would vote with the G. o. p.
and that Messrs. Randall and London
would vote with the Democrats.

1t is regarded as entirely probable
that Great Britain, II advised of such
an embargo, will not hesitate to under
take sharp reprisals in the way OF cut
ting of much that remains of Argen-
tina's already badly crippled foreign

however, the possibility of Argentina
