All Wooden Fabrics
To Advance IN Price

Buy your wooden suit and your wooler
dress now, as if the war continues an
other year, it will not be a question Of
price, but of getting wool at any price
This is the advice of a prominent busi
ness man of this city who studies pretty
closely the general market conditions
1t is also in line with q suggestion made
by the Washington Woolen Mills et
Fredericksburg, Va.
The wool clip Of 1916 sold for 60 and
65 cents a pound, secured. The fleece
ON the sheep now running around in the
wool growing states has been sold fol-
June delivery on basis of 81 a pound
secured.
These figures tell the tale. This
country uses 600,000,000 pounds OF
wool each year and the wool clip of the
country is 2Ss,000,000. England has an
embargo on wool from Australia, Can
ada and New Zealand. Only Argentine
can ship us wool and this country il
obliged to go into the market against
the necessities of war and bid for every
pound it needs, fully half its annual sup
ply.
Ihe business report of the Washing
ton Woolen Mill company also predict,
that, even should the war end within {
few months, wool will be scarce fol
more than year and that the demand
for raw wool and cotton will be greater
than ever as the twenty million mel
now in the armies will discard their tat
tered army garments for civilian
clothes.
The factories of all the warring ma
tions of Europe win demand wool ant
cotton goods when the war closes anC
they will naturally turn to the Unitet
States for the greater part of their sup
plies.
Hence, whether war ends or not, fo
the coming year woolen goods win /
higher and the same may be said Of cot
ton materials.

Washington, March l.-Former See
retary of state Bryan will support the
administration in the event of war
But until war comes, he told the
United Press today, he will oppose
with all his resources" any steps that
might lead to war. lie insisted war
should he decided on only by refer
endum vote
Bryan discussed general principles :"
freely. He would not, however, " tie
himself down" to specific answer to
questions. Asked whether he would
support the arming of merchantmen
under any circumstances, whether he
liked the presidents last message to
congress and whether he wants TO see
congress stay in Washington, he de-
elined to get down to details.
Bryan left no doubt that he would
hold the president to the strict letter
of his statement in his message that
he was proposing no steps he believed
would lead to war.
The former secretary dictated this
story. Most of it had TO be read back
to him. At times he even read periods.
When he had finished he dictated this
insert:
IF war actually comes, the admin
istration will have no more loyal sup
porter than /, as long as the war lasts,
but until war comes peace will have no
more ardent champion"
Must Keep Off Munition Ships.
Bryan wants any action taken by
congress to show bluntly that the
president is not authorized either to
declare war ''or begin war;" he stated.
His position on transatlantic com
merce, he said, is that he wants no
passengers on belligerent ships, or on
any ships, for that matter, which carry
contraband.
Bryan will make his appeal in sup
port of peace, not the paeifists, who, he
apparently thought, will support him
anyway, but to those who see no other
way out of the present situation; the
inly class to which it is worth while
to appeal.
Bryan denied he is here in connec-
ton with the emergency peace feder'
alton.
al have no plans" he said But
[ feel it would be wise for those who
are opposed to the use of force to ex-
press themselves in order that the
president might be confirmed in the
belief that he expressed in his message
when he said:
Quotes the President.
at is devoutly to be hoped that It
will not be necessary to put an armed
force anywhere into action. The
American people do not desire 1t and
our desire is not different from theirs
IT am sure that the president cor
rectly interprets the hopes cf the peo'
pie. The people desire peace, but we
have war element in this country
which is doing all it can to manufac'
| ture war sentiment.
Those who "want war, Bryan
divided into four classes: the sympa'
thizers with specific belligerents who
want the United States to help; those
who have a pecuniary interest in war
munitions makers and bankers who
have loaned money to beligerents;
those "who have adopted the Euro
pean standards of honor which differ
as radically from our American stand
ard as the duellist code differs IRON

Bryan Outlines Po osifion
Fighting Against War, Viii
Back Wilson If War Comes

Bryan went into details on the ques-
tions Of neutral rights, questioning
about the duty of ocean travellers to
think of nations welfare before their
own rights; to avoid danger and not
TO force "the farmers son and the
laborer's son., to 60 to war TO protect
travellers who do not avoid danger. He
opposed fatty travelling of Americans
on belligerent ships, despite their right,
and discussed at length his statement
regarding American ships that "a dis
tinction should be made between
"Ameriean passenger ships and ships
carrying eontraband.
He added:
Must Not Garry contraband
Passenger ships ought not, in my
Judgment, to carry eontraband and pas
sengers together especially if the con-
traband consists of munitions and war
materials. L would prefer to see the
line drawn against all contrabaBd and
clearance papers refused to any Amer
lean ship carrying contraband with
passengers but the line certainly ought
to be drawn against carrying munitions
with passengers. Life is more i'm
portant than merchandise and the
first duty of those in charge of pas
senger ship is to guard the lives Of
passengers. A ship captain cannot
give to his passengers the care and
protection to which they are entitled
if his thoughts are on a eontraband
cargo"
Bryan quoted again from the presi-
dents address "I am not proposing
or considering war or any steps that
may lead to it," Bryan's comment
was:
"This statement is so plain that no
one ought to suppose for an instant
that the president desires congress to
surrender its exclusive right to decide
whether or where it should go to war.
I assume there that any authority
given to the president will be so
worded that the jingoes cannot con
strue as authority either to declare
war or to begin war.

George r. Harris, uncle of William II.

whereabouts are also unknown, and Ell
Ia Harris Fink, of Portland, Or, who
are the children of deceased nephew,
as his only surviving heirs, is revealed
here today in the surrogates court by
the granting of letters of administra-
ton upon his estate to Ella |. Purdy,
his Brookhne, Mass, niece by Surro-
gate Herbert T. Ketcham.
Mr.. Harris, who lived here at No.

death. He was at one time partner of

Mr.. Harris was a native of st. John,

Tense or assault upon our integrity, an
improper violation or interference with
the relations of the United States by
the imperial government.
"H it comes, for instance, from
London, 1 want to know it--and that
is all,' he added, critieising the fact
that the resolution calls upon the presi-
dent to express an "opinion as to the
authenticity of the Zimmerman mes
sage"
If the information came to this gov
ernment from allied sources, Stone sug-
gested that fact would weigh heavily in
his course upon it.
Will Report Favorably,
Finally the bill was referred to the
foreign relations committee.
After more than an hour s considera-
tion, the senate foreign relations com
mittee this afternoon agreed to report
out the Lodge resolution in substantial
ly the form presented by Lodge.
That it would pass the senate appear
ed certain.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign relations and the
senate then took up discussion of the
naval bill with constant reference to
the international situation. There were
hints that the foreign relations commit.
tee might kill the Lodge resolution.
Chairman Stone insisted that it be re-
ferred to his committee and there were
indications that he desired to learn the
president s mind before taking action.
Democrats resented the insinuation
that the inquiry would die in commit
tee.
Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia, sug
gested that if the president himself had
presented the information of Germany IS
plotting to the senate, it might have
been construed as equivalent to re-
quest for war action by congress. As
the information was first published he
held that, should the president now of
ficially give the full facts, the action
could not be construed as a request for
war, unless such a request should be
specifically expressed.

Stones Explanation.

Stones amendment asked that the
president be requested to inform the
senate whether the information in his
possession originated from any govern
ments which are at war with Germany.
Stones intent appeared to be to cast
doubt on the Zimmerman letter-pro-
vided it originated from entente
sources.
He suggested the senate ought to so
slowly in opening up "diplomatic Sc
crets."
Stone later amended his resolution to
include information as to whether the
Zimmerman letter originated with or
was derived from" an allied power.
Stone openly limited that the German
plot information, if from the executive
offices of this government, was put
forth to influence public or official
opinion, or both.
"The publication Of this letter to-
day was made for some purpose" said
Stone. II do not know with such GER
tainty as to warrant me in stating il
as to where the newspapers obtained
this document. If it is authentic it is
necessary sequence that the informa-
tion was not given to the American
press by the German government. 1t
must have been given out by some one
| else.
"Reading the newspaper accounts
the inference is plain that it was OBJ
tanned from the executive officials OF
this government. 1t was published fol
some purpose, though viii not under
take to say what that purpose was, fur
ther than to say it was given publicity
to effect public opinion or official opin
ion, or both, in the United States. !"

ment must have furnished this govern
ment with its infermation--and added
there ought to be no secret, confiden

the Lodge resolution to the foreign re-
