 Senators La Toilette and Stone pro- leased to see hidden forces at work in the war department to foist on the nation militaristic rule now and for ever.
 You don't need microscope to see the real meaning of this substitution of existing emergency for existing war Senator La Toilette said. What we are uncovering here is a deliberate attempt on the part of the military powers to fix the draft system as a permanent institution on the country"
 Senator Stone thought likewise.
 There must be some motive back of this (use of "emergency'' instead of wary he said. "Somewhere some influences are operating. We know the army people are standing for a permanent conscription system, but by the subtleties of words they're leav- ing the whole thing in the realm of conjecture I think this bill should go Jack to conference" After a dozen senators had discussed

 1T have listened with chagrin as the senator from Missouri has heaped contumely on this man and in sneer- ing tones has spoken of the Roosevelt division. Had the speech been made anywhere other than in this chamber, had it been made out on the thorough fares, the people who listened would have thought this country wanted no division whatever to go to France. But, of course. We all know that no senator in this chamber feels that way.
 'It is with pleasure and Joy and a bubbling patriotism that think of the Roosevelt division. What is it, after all. but the realization of favor asked by a. man who is. in fact, in the twilight of life and who asl<a that he may go forth to battle for his country's rights? When was it na- ton denied to it's sons the right to fight in its behalf?'

 This attack is one regret and very sad one at this time. Both sides of this chamber have stood shoulder to shoulder in this crisis. Now, to say that Theodore Roosevelt desires for personal ambition to go to war is to deny the life of this patriot. To say he wants td enlist for political effect is without foundation in fact. You laughed when he toured the country two years ago for prepared ness and patriotism; yet now you arc adopting his program. This is no mans war-no party's war;
 Senator Johnson related Colonel Roosevelt's charge up San Juan Hill.

Washington, May 1s.-A great. American army raised by the selectivs draft method is now assured in the war against Prussianism.
 After six hours of debate. which several times reached a violent stage. the confereeS report on the bill was accepted by the senate late yesterday. Tn house already had adopted 1t.
 The bill provides for the immediate iner0ase of the regular army to full wAf strength. the federalixation of tho N1tional Guard and its increase to full strength. Tn addition 1t provides for the drafting of 500, 900 men be- tween the ages Of twenty one and tl1ir-i ty years, inclusive, and the drafting of m additional 5oo.00o men cf the sAtne ago when the president deems it necessary.
 The measure also contains the so called Roosevelt amendment under which the president is authorized but not directed-to raise four divi- sions of select volunteers ab0ve twen- Aty.ifve years of age who shall be placed in command of an expArienced officer selected by the president. The assumption Is that President Wilson will put Colonel Roosevelt at the head 01*AL lcASL q pdfI Ol tN0 s&TOOQS IT ne declines to exercise the authority to raise such a division.

WILL RUSH WAR DECLARATION
Congress Will Lose No Time in Grant
ing Presidents Request for Hos
tiIities Against Austria.

Washington, Dec. president Viii
sons request for declaration of war
on Austria in his address before Con-
gress today met with virtually unani-
nous approval and Congress tonight
was prepared to give prompt response.
Passage by the House Thursday and
by the Senate Friday of the necessary
resolution was planned by the leaders,
who began drafting the formal docu-
ment soon after the President finished
speaking.
Strong sentiment in favor of includ-
ing Turkey and Bulgaria in the new
war declaration in spite of the Presi-
dents counsel was prevalent, but ad-
ministration leaders expected to curb
it by pointing to Mr.. Wilson's decla-
ration:
I'VE shall go wherever the necessi-
+tes of this war carry US, but it seems
to me that we should go only where
immediate and practical considera-
tons lead US and not heed any others. %
The recommendation for war with
Austria was received generally as
meaning that the President has at last
relinquished hope that peace might be
forwarded through alienation of Aus
tria from her dominating ally. 1t also
recognizes the extension of the west
ern front on which American forces
are operating, to Italy, and will serve
to hearten the Italians.
1t was learned tonight that in con-
Yersation with congressional leaders,
before leaving the capitol, the Presi-
dent said that the Austrian declara-
ton was advised largely because it
might be necessary at any time to
have American soldiers aid Italy.
Approval of the address on all sides
was pronounced, and was demon
strated, not only by the outbursts of
applause, but in statements of the
congressional leaders. Many declared
it the greatest OF the Presidents state
papers. He was more than half hour
reading his manuscript in clear, pene-
trating tones, gaining in emphasis and
earnestness Of delivery as he proceed
ed to a dramatic conclusion with an
invocation to God for victory for ga
just and holy cause"

WAR ON AUSTRIA is DECLARED

ing existence Of a state OF war be-
tween the Imperial and Royal Austro-
Hungarian government and the gov
eminent and people Of the United
States authorizing the President to

pledging its resources to victory.
The resolution, the response Of con-
gress to the Presidents request in his
address on Tuesday, is similar to that
passed on April declaring war with
Germany 1t became effective at SOB
D. m. today when it was signed by the
executive without formality. An exec
utive proclamation will follow shortly
After one hours debate the resOlu-
ton was unanimously adopted by the
Senate with an affirmative vote Of a.

BANKERS PLAN A CAMPAIGN
Meeting Held in Kansas City, kan-
sas, Decides to Boost Govern
nent Saving Certificates.

Topeka-Eighty of the 105 bankers
of Kansas who have been appointed
county chairmeA for the war saving
certificate campaign to be waged
throughout the state met in Kansas
City, Kan, recently That they viii
get behind this campaign, as any 9TH
ers the government may indorse, de-
termined to make it a success, was
their declarations.
P. W. Goebel, chairman of the state
campaign, in detailing the plans of
the government in its endeavor to
place 3 war saving certificate in
every home and a thrift card in the
possession Of every school pupil, said
those who are not doing anything to
aid their government in a financial
way are as great a Stacker as are
those who dodge military service.
I'VE cannot tolerate any sort of a
Stacker" Mr.. GoebeI said. '1f any Of
you men learn of banker in the state
who is not subscribing TO and work
ing for the war campaigns, his name
should be announced. l will go per-
sonally to such men and tell them Of
the circumstances. Either they are
ignorant of the magnitude of the war
or they are slackers of the worst
type"
= Mr.. Goebel also asked the chairmen
to advise him if they find any slack
ers among the German residents Of
the state.
81 am sure they are few, if any"
Mr.. Goebel added, but if any is found
they will be told Of the loyalty they
owe this glorious nation. 1t is my be-
lief that all should be educated and
that goes for many Americans who
are slow to support the war pro-
grams
Mr.. Goebel explained it is proposed
to place $37 900, 900 in war certificates
in the state. He declares it will mean
the organization Of the state more
| thoroughly than ever, but is confident

OPPOSED TO FEDERAL RULE
Railroad Heads Say Transportation
Problem Will Be Solved by the
Unification Plan.

Washington, Dec. Railroad pres
idents, composing the railroads war
board, today informed Chairman New
lands Of the Senate commerce COM
mittee that if Congress removed the
legal prohibitions which forbid unfit
cation Of the roads for the war emer-
gency government operation would
not be necessary.
Chairman Newlands asked the rail-
way executives for an estimate Of the
money needed by the roads TO equip
them for the emergency. They prom
ised to prepare this in time for pre-
sentation to President Wilson Mon
day. The President himself began
considering the question today in con-
ferences with Chairman Hail OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The railroad men, it as understood,
estimated 1 billion dollars viii be
needed to equip and enlarge their IA
ciIities for handling war traffic in
1918. How it should be raised, how
ever, was not discussed, Senator New
lands said, and there is question
whether it would be obtained by a
loan from the government or by gov
eminent guarantee.
