that this is a moment for action and
not for debate" said Mr.. Lodge.
"But wish briefly to state why I
support it with the greatest earnest
ness of which am capable"
"The most momentous power en-
trusted to congress is the authority
to declare war and never has con-
gress been called to an exercise of
this great power more than at this
moment. We have submitted to
wrongs and outrages from the Cen
trail Powers of Europe with long
patience. We have borne and fore
borne to the very limit of endurance.
Now the Inevitable end is here, and
we are about to declare war against
Germany ~
Speaking for myself, and, hope,
for my associates generally on this
side of the chamber, desire to say
that in this crisis and when the coun-
try is at war, party lines will disap-
pear and this disappearance of the
party lines will, am confident, not
be confined to the minority. AS
Americans, we shall all, am sure,
be prepared to give to the executive,
money, men and all the necessary
powers for waging war with Germany
and driving it forward to success
full conclusion"
Senator Stone of the senate for
eign relations committee in speech
opposed the war resolution but
pledged himself to do everything in
his power to help wage war success
fully.
Senator Vardaman, democrat, of
Mississippi, was the, first senate
speaker on the war resolution to
announce he would vote against it.
Senator Norris, republican, of Ne
braska, told the senate he was "bit-
terly opposed to the United States
entering the war;" but did not fatty
state that he would vote against the
war resolution.
Wall Street interests, he asserted,
were Interested in profiting from
Americas participation. He also de-
clared a large number of newspa-
pers and news agencies have been
controlled and enlisted in the great
est propaganda that the world has
ever known to manufacture senti-
ment for war" ~
After. debate on the administra-
ton war resolution in the senate had
proceeded !, two hours, democratic
Headers expressed belief vote
would be reached early this evening
and that only an unusually long
speech by Senator La Toilette would
postpone action beyond that time.

SIBERIAN EXlLES

leases Political Prisoners Of
Old Regime Great Re-
joicing Of People Men
Are Emaciated.
(By the Associated Press)

Tyumen, Siberia, March 81 (Via
Petrograd and London, April 3).-
$4,000 sledges, carrying victims OF
the old regime back to freedom in the
new Russia from mines and convic-
ton settlements Of Siberia, are speed
ing in an endless chain across the
snow of northern Asia for the nearest
point on the Trans-Siberian railroad.
Their passengers range from mem
bers Of the old Terrorist societies to
exiles who were banished by admin
istrative decree without trial or
known offense.
In order to witness this unprece-
dented migration, a correspondent of
the Associated Press came here.
West of the Urala the Associated
Press correspondent encountered only
a handful of exiles who, when the
revolution began were at or near the
railroad. The first large party en-
countered consisted of $50 political
convicts and administrative exiles,
including twenty members of the
Jewish revolutionary band.
The cars were. met by vast crowd
at the railroad station, which cheered
the exiles tumultously. The exiles
returned the cheers, but they were
in deplorable physical condition,
shaggy, uncouth, unwashed and ex-
tremely emaciated. Many were Grip
pies with rheumatism. Two had lost
hands and feet from frostbites and
'one, who attempted fight week be-
fore the revolution, had been shot in
the leg when he was recaptured. He
was lying in a prison hospital when
he learned that he was q free man.
All Ekaterinburg gathered to do
honor to exiles and q reception was
hastily improvised at which speech
was delivered by Sophia Vasneff. who
spent seven years in different siber-
ian penal villages for the possession
Of revolutionary literature.
The president. 81. the exiles recep-
ton committee il Ekate rinbnrg told
the correspond lent that there we're
probably 10000 persons ii Siberia
released under the amnesty measure
.of the provisional goyernment.

tional Event Since the War
Began.
(By the Associated Press)

London, April 4-Austrian minis
ters of justice, war and finance have
resigned after the revelation of grave
scandal connected with army sup
plies, according to a dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company from
the Hague, which Squotes German
newspapers as it's authority. Accord
ing to the dispatch, the three minis
ters assisted DR.. Franz, formerly di-
rector of the Vienna Deposit bank, to
escape the consequences of having il
legally sold foodstuffs to the army a:
exorbitant prices.
At the trial of DR.. Franz, docu-
ments were produced which convinc.
ed the judge that the ministers had
forged a paper which was used in the
bankers behalf. They were sum.
moned as witnesses and admitted
their guilt, later resigning. The af.
fair is said to have caused tremen.
dous sensation in Vienna political
circles.

SELECTIVE
T CONSUMPTION
OF YOUNG men
For First Army to Be Sum.
moned to Colors- Guard
For Police Duty.

Washington, April 3.-Adminis-
tration plans for raising an army on
the principle of universal liability to
service to be submitted to congress as
soon as the pending war resolution
is adopted, are based on selective con-
scription of young men to be sum-
moned to the colors as rapidly as
they can be trained and Differed. A
detailed scheme for the registration
of eligibles has been worked out. 4.
- Select Soldiers By Lot .a5',''
After married men, others with
dependents, those whose service is
required in industries, have been ex-
empted, others within the age limits
fixed will be examined physically, and
those found fit will be selected, pos
sibly by lot, until the first 100000
to be trained are secured.
1t was made clear today that 5OO,-
600 is nowhere near the limit needed,
and it is expected that more thar
100000 available will be found in the
first classification. Others will be
trained as rapidly as possible by
officers from the regular army, ma
tional guard and officers reserve;
corps.
Age Limit Between 18 and %
Maximum and minimum age linn
it's for the first call will not be made
public until the plan is presented to
congress. In recent decisions a min
imum of 1S years and maximum Of
23 years have been mentioned.
Preliminary military steps possible
under existing laws were added todas
to those already taken. They includ-
ed direction by Secretary Baker that
the first class at West Point be grad
uated April 20, supplying 1875 highly
trained young officers.
At the navy department it. was an.
that steps have already been
taken to insure close cooperation be-
tween the American fleet and those Of
the Entente Allies when the neces-
sary authority has been granted. The
American embassy at London has
been in touch with the British ad-
Guard for Police Duty
1t is not known whether the war
contemplates any change
in the present status of the guards.
These, troops would not be available
for service in Europe under existing
law and in addition, the full number
may be required for police work at
home. More than $4,000 are now so
If the guard is to be recruited to
full strength, it is assumed that pro-
vision would be made to prevent q
conflict between that service and the
new national army to be raised.
Probably recruits for the guard
-
would be sought among men exclud-
ed from the national army by age
The new army undoubt-
edly will be formed Of young men.
Buy Big Guns
Bids were opened at the war de-
partment today for 16-inch rifles to
go in the coast defenses. The Beth
lehem Steel company was the only
