SENATE DEMOCRATS
PROPOSE CHANGE
IN THE RULES
Caucus Will Be Held Tuesday to Begin
Fight for Cloture Rule in
the Senate.

Washington, H. c., March 5.--A Demo
cratic Senate caucus has been called for
l0:30 tomorrow morning, at which one
subject discussed will be the fight for a
eloture rule to prevent filibusters by a
few senators, such as killed the armed
Neutrality bill, responsive to the presi-
dents appeal TO the Senate to change its
rules SO that little group of willful
men" might not continue to make the
country "helpless and contemplate" be-
fore the world in the submarine crisis.
The cloture movement was initiated to-
day by the Democratic leaders. Thirty
three members have already agreed to
cooperate with the ant-filibuster move
ment.

"GROUP OF WILLFUL
MEN" BLOCKS GOVT,
DECLARES WILSON
Representing No Opinion But Their
own" They Have Made the Unit
ed States "Helpless and Con-
temptible."

Washington, d. c., March 5.--Presi
dent Wilson last night informed the
country in a statement that he may be
without power to arm merchant ships
and take steps to meet the German sub.
marine menace, in the absence of author
ity from Congress.
An extra session of Congress, the presi-
dent says, is required to clothe him with
authority, but it is useless to call one
while the Senate works under the pres
ent rules which permit a smill minority
to keep an overwhelming majority from
acting.
The president proposes, therefore, that
the special session of the Senate which
he has called to meet to-day, revise the
rules ito supply the means of action and
save the country from disaster"
"a little group of wilful men," says
the president in his statement, "repre
senting no opinion but their own, have
rendered the great government of the
United States helpless and contemp-
tible."

and three machine guns. During the
day we repulsed with heavy enemy losses
several counter attacks.
"Tast of Gommecourt the enemy con-
tinues to yield ground. In the neighbor-
hood we advanced along two mile front
to an average depth of 1900 yards.
"Six prisoners were taken in a sue
cessful raid last night northeast of
Ablancourt During the last "a hours

CALLS OPEN SALOON
A GREAT MENACE
Rev. Fr. p. NJ. McKenna Urged His Men
Parishioners to Vote "No" To-mor-
row-Quoted Police Figures
to Show Effect of License.

From the altar in st. Monica's church
at both masses Sunday morning, Rev. FIR.
p. NJ. McKenna preached a stirring tenn
perance sermon in which he reafirmed
his well known stand on the liquor ques-
tion and strongly urged his hearers to do
their part tomorrow in ridding Barre of
the open saloon. Parishioners and 9th
ers who are accustomed to hearing Fa-
ther McKenna flsy the liquor traffic from
year to year found that his attitude re-
mains unchanged. He is still unalterably
opposed TO any compromise with an evil
which he describes as a home wrecker
and his vigorous homily on intemper-
ance. with special reference to local con-
ditions. must have inspired solid think
ing among the many worshippers who
crowded the church at both services.
Father McKenna took issue with the
insinuation. veiled or open, that the
Catholic church i opposed 70 prohibition
and quoted at length from a papal de-
cree to support his contention that the
church docs not stand on middle ground
in its attitude toward intemperance. His
sermon uncovered arguments against the
claim that regulation is more effective
than prohibition and facts and figures
which he furnished were brought TO To-
Gus on conditions here in Barre. He said
in part:
