Washington, March 3.-The navy de-

One Of these is to put submarine

MOVEMENT TO TALK
THE BILL TO DEATH
Offers Made by Democratic
Leaders to Reach Com
mon Ground and Even to
Accept the House Bill of
No Avail.

Washington, March g.
Absolute confidence in pas
sage of the armed neutral
ity" measure changed to
grave doubt tonight that it
would be able to survive the
filibustering tactics launch
ed by independent Republi-
cans, in an effort to force an
extra session.
Democratic leaders, at 9
o'clock, were SO fearful the
measure might fail of pas
sage that they began making
offers to the Republicans in
an effort to reach a common
ground.
Negotiations were started
when it became evident that
certain Republicans would
talk the bill to death if pos
sible.
TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY.
That the president will not fail to
grasp the opportunity to place re-
sponsibility" for halting action on the
big supply bills, was emphatically
declared.
The course which the president will
pursue was not disclosed but there
were some who believed that before
this session adjourns congress and the
country will hear from the president
on the present situation.
There was a touch of the tragic in
the withdrawal of support by Gum
shoe Bill" who has always stood by
the presidents side through many Bit
Ter fights during the last few years.
FIRST DISAGREEMENT.
Stone himself referred to his posi-
tion now--and there was note of
deep regret in his voice--as 'the first
disagreement he and the president had
been unable to reconcile"
While Democratic leaders were re-
ticent as to what advances they had
made to the other side, it was learned
the Republicans were given the oppor-
tunity to re-draft the measure to suit
themselves, so long as the two prin-
cipal contentious of the president
power and a vote of credit-were left
in.
The Democrats offered to withdraw
from their heretofore. unequivocal
stand on the senate resolution and ac-
cept the house measure, which strikes
out "other instrumentalities" and pro-
vides that munitions ships shall not
be armed or conveyed.
NO ACTUAL WARFARE.
The president sent word again to
Democratic leaders, through Secretary
McAdoo, who had been on the senate
floor for hours comforting with Demo-
Gratis, that neither side need have any
fear that he will precipitate actual
warfare without first calling the new
congress together for consultation and
advice.
Ii became known that an organized |
filibuster had been practically agreed
upon. The leaders were Gronna, Nor
ris. Cummins and La Toilette, with
some four or five "sympathizers" on
both sides.
