LONDON, March 1.-President Will

which was received in London too late
for editorial notice in Tuesday morn
ing's papers. is the general subject Of
comment, especially with reference to
possible development arising through
the sinking of the steamer Laconia
and the loss Of American lives
Fresh tributes are paid to President
Wilson's lofty idealiSm and love of
peace, while his difficulties, in view of
the congressional position and the alb
sence of complete unanimity of Amer
lean opinion, are fully recognized.
The main point diseased. however. is
whether the attack on the Laconia con-
stitutes the overt act" The general
opinion. based on such American dis
patches as were received at the time
the editorials were written, is that IT is
difficult to see how it can be regarded
as otherwise.

ut would seem that the overt act had
already been committed when the Pres

REVENUE BILL NOW
GOES TO PRESIDENT
Measure Passed by Senate at
Midnight Identical With

ROLL CALLED REPEATEDLY

The administration revenue bill wat
passed by the Senate at midnight last
night, following flibustering tactics
which delayed the final vote on the
measure for four hours after the hour
set for beginning to vote on the meas
ure and all amendments.
Thirty amendments were offered by
republican senators after S o'clock, and
upon all except three roll calls were
had. Another roll call was ordered on
a motion to agree to amendments made
in committee of the whole, Senator
Penrose moved to recommit the bill and
got a roll call on that motion, and
there was a final roll call on the pas
sage of the bill.
AS it finally passed tho bill was in
the identical form in which 1t passed
the House. At the last minute the
democratic leaders in the Senate de-
cided it would be better TO throw over
board all amendments recommended by
the Senate finance committee and ap-
proved by the democratic caucus to ex-
pedite the enactment of the bill into

Bill Now Goes to President.

II will now go to the President for
his signature, there being no necessity
OF its returning to the House for fur
ther action.
Under the unanimous consent agree
| ment, the Senate was to begin voting
on the bill and all amendments at s
| o'clock. and promptly at that hour the
clerk began calling the roll on an
amendment offered by Senator La Fol-
| lette of Wisconsin. Senator La Fol-
lette offered eleven amendments, and
had a roll call on each Of them. Other
republican senators who offered amend
Were: Senators Lodge. 8; Poindexter, !;
Weeks. s. Cummins, .; oliver, /: Sher-
man. 4; Brandegee, l.
By these tactics the republicans con-
sumed four hours without q single
word of debate. Their object was to
prevent consideration last night of the
navy bill. and in general line with their
announced intention to force an extra
session of Congress through the failure
of approximation bills. Senator Swan
son, in charge OF the navy bill. had
announced thathe would seek to take
/ that bill up as soon as it had been
completed, and that he wished to sit
all night for considera ton of the navy
bill.
The revenue bill was passed by a
strict party vote. Al to 33. 1t carries
an excess profits tax on corporations
and partnerships. and an increase OF
90 per cent in the rate of taxation on
inheritances. provides for bond issue
of S100,oo0,0o0 worth of per cent
bonds, and for q s3o0.00o,o 900 issue OF
certificates of indebtedness.
Immediately after the passage of the
revenue bill, Senator Stone. chairman
OF the foreign relations committee,
moved to adjourn until 12:40 am. SO
that he might clear the Legislative
track for the armed neutrality bill.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE eLuNDER

The evidences are multiplying that
Foreign Minister Zimmermann's plan
for tripartite alliance against the
United States will go down in history
as diplomacy's Incompatible bunder.
Probably many schemes as clumsy
have been concocted time without
number by other statesmen, but they
have had the good fortune to keep
them quiet, says the Desert News.
Diplomats are not to be blamed for
intrigues and other dark plots-the
making OF them is a part OF their pro
fession-but they must stink away
and remain forever in oblivion when
the world learns their shame. II Is
limited that both Zimmerman and
Won Bernstorff may retire in conse-
quence OF the exposure of their abor.
tive scheme. II this eventually takes
place, IL will more likely be in obedi.
ence to precedent than because their
government Is seeking to punish them
for having concocted the plct. The |
plot was their governments and they |
were but the hired men who did the |
dirty work. We do not hold anygrudge |
against the late German ambassador
to Washington for his part in the
nasty business. 1t was part of his
job and he obeyed orders.
. 1t is quite impossible to regard the
Japanese statements. official and
otherwise, as untrue. Everything in

she had. she would have buntly and
