GREAT PATRIOTIC
 DISPLAY IS MADE
Bryan's Friend Votes for Bill, Which Is sent tO Senate, Where Measure Granting Greater Authority Is
 tO Be Substituted,

Washington, March IA bill to en- power the president to arm merchant ships, but not extending the authority he requested to use "other instru- mcntaities" in defending American rights against the submarine menace. was passed by the house tonight by T vote of 403 to 13.
 Speaker Clark announced the vote amid enthusiastic applause and cheer ing. Opposition to the bill had faded during the day. before patriotic ap- pcalS from leaders on both sides Of the house, and when the roll was called only nine Republicans, three Dem- oerats and one Socialist voted in the negative.
 These were Benedict of California, Cary of Wisconsin, Cooper of Wiscon- sin, Davis of Minnesota, Helgesen Of North Dakota, Lindbergh of Minne- sota, Nelson of Wisconsin, Stafford of Wisconsin and Wilson of Illinois, Re publicans; Decker of Missouri, Shack elford of Missouri and Sherwood of Ohio, Democrats, and London of New York, Socialist
 The measure was sent over to the senate where it is expected the sen atc's bill, approved by the president and authorizing not only the arming of merchant ships, but the employ mcnt of "other instrumentalities" will be substituted. All proposed amend ments to the measure, except those added in committee, were rejected by the house under an avalanche of votes.
 Patriotism Is Displayed.
 Never since questions arising out of the European war began 10 agitate the house, almost three years ago, has there been such a display of patriotic nonpartisanship as was witnessed to- day in the chamber Democrats and Republicans, even most of the mem- bers who have aligned themselves with the extreme pacificist group, joined in fighting for the bill.
 Representative Bailey of Pennsyl- vania, recognized as reflecting the views of w. J. Bryan, voted in the affirmative and announced his inten- ton in advance. Both Democratic Leader Kitchin, who has always here tofore stood against the administration preparedness plans. and Republican Leader Mann, whose uttefanceS OIteN have been strongly opposed to the presidents international policies in many particulars, voted for the meas ure, the latter having supported 1t in vigorous speech.
 Led by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin and Representative Camp bell of Kansas, both Republicans, small number of the members made a determined fight. They were not united on any one specific objection. how ever. Representative Cooper based his position on the contention that the bill would authorize discrimination against Germany in that it would per init the arming of ships carrying munitions to the entente allies. and that by arming such ships the United States would commit an act of war. Representative Campbell contended that passage of the bill would be equivalent to the surrender by con- gress of it's right to declare war.

SENATOR'S READY I'D GIVE WILSON
 POWER DESIRED
Vote on Armed Neutrality Bill Will Come After
 Naval Bills Passes.

Washington, March 1.-The senate under an agreement to vote finally on the $50O,000, ,0O0 naval bill at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 The agreement was formally rati- fled after Senator LaFollette, on whose attitude hinges the possible clearing of congressional congestion before March 4, was induced by other Republicans to give his approval. The Wisconsin senator would not consent to an agreement to have the armed neutrality bill passed tonight by the house, taken up tomorrow in the sen ate. before the vote on the naval bill.
 The plan now is to take up the armed neutrality bill later to amend it and pass it before adjournment. There are still some Republican sena- tors, insisting on an extra session, who refuse to concede that such course will be permitted.
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels ap- peared on the senate floor and re- maned until a late hour, conferring with senators and urging the passage of the big naval measure.
 The Democrats, it was said, will be satisfied with the naval and armed neutrality bills to pass, being hope ful that the president would call an extra session late in the spring or early in the summer to clear up the rest Of the p1 ot, srr1f, if de77 efopments do not require a special session earlier than that time

 Official circles, the press and the public manifest calm indifference as to future developments. The absence of editorial comment in the news papers is accounted for by the lack of dependable news from Washington. The press merely reiterates that Ger man has spoken her final word in re- gard to submarine warfare, and that the Rubicon has been crossed.
