With $1OO 100000 Fund

draft introduced last night by Chairman
Flood. AZ the same time the Republi-
can members will serve notice that they
are acting under protest and will seek
to make an extra session necessary In
order to avoid the absolute delegation
OF power on which the President in
ssts
Line Up in Committee.
II seemed probable from the align
ment Of the committee on several counter
proposals made to-day that possibly not
more than six and probably not more
than four votes would be cast against
the Administration measure, or these
two are almost certain to be those of
Representative Cooper, the ranking Re-
publican member. and Representative
Porter OF Pennsylvania, also a Republi-
can. Four Democrats. Representatives
Ragsdale OF South Carolina, Shackleford
of Missouri. Huddleston Of Alabama and
Thompson OF Oklahoma, may vote
against the bill in committee, though
the probabilities are that Thompson and
Huddleston at least will sign the ma
jorty report.
Party lines were wholly obliterated in
tne commuters discussion to-day. Al
long morning session the attitude Of a
majority plainly favored limiting the
blanket provision of the Administration
| bill to the use OF the naval forces Of
, the United States for the protection OF
| American lives and shipping.
President Wilson's strongest support
ers on the committee Chairman Flood
and Representative Harrison of Missis-
| s.ppi. were willing to accept this amend
| ment which was strongly urged by the
Republicans. led by Representative Rog-
| ers Of Massachusetts. Representative
| Porter, with the backing OF Cooper and
the four recalcitrant Democrats. offered
amendments seeking to limit the pro-
lection to ships carrying goods not pre-
| scribed by our contraband list or not
containing arms and ammunition or not
containing articles which the President
considered contraband. ......,, -
Chairman Flood then adjourned the
committee until after noon for the pur-
pose OF consulting the President on these
amendments. The death Of Mrs. Wilson's
sister prevented an appointment. but the
, President sent Postmaster-General Bur-
leson for a conference with Mr. Flood.
! In his first conference Mr.. Burleson
| refused to consider the Porter amend
| ments, which were considered generally
as the outgrowth Of the German embargo
propaganda. He consented to take up
| the other proposals at the Cabinet meet
ing in the afternoon.

letter from him not long after he had
left us, and ne wrote, I want you to
do something for me. Give SIS every
week to the Red Cross. for if it were
not for them. l would not be writing
this letter.
I'VE gave this weekly sum as he re
quested. A little while ago he was
killed in battle but now our SIS goes
every week as his memorial, to the
organization which is saving thous
ands and boys for the folks at home.

the extension of the activities of the
