adoption by the senate of the
house resolution declaring the
state of war with Germany at an
end is expected by republican lead
ers. They had a conference today
to discuss future legislation at this
session and Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts said late today that he
did not anticipate any great delay
in the senate,
MIR. Lodge, who returned today
from a brief vacation, said the
whole controversy had been
thrashed out pretty thoroughly
and that he believed the house res
olution would be adopted probably
with the united republican support
and general opposition by the DEM
ocrats.
The leaders decided at the con-
ference that army reorganization
legislation would be the next meas
ure taken up by the senate. They
expect to dispose of 1t by the time
the house has acted on the peace
resolution. II will be followed by
tho house bill to increase dyestufts

Mr.. Lodge said early ac ion on
the Anglo-American- French treaty
was not expected and that until the
treaty OF Versailles had been dis
posed of its consideration was inn
probable.
A recess of congress over the
convention period, Mr., Lodge said,
was probable. Congress hardly can
complete it's work by June |, he ad-
ded, and would have considerable
work TO do af,er the conventions.

CAPITALIZATION
IN GOVERNMENT
ME- NACES ]. 8.


Flint, Mich, April 2.-The ten
dency towards Capitalization in gov
ernment already has reached the
danger point, Governor Frank o..
Lowden of Illinois, candidate for
the republican nomination for pres
ident, declared in an address to-
night.
"The municipalities are ceaslng
to function as well as they have in
the past" he said. "They are call
ing for help from the states more
and more, and the states are lean
ing more and more heavily upon
the federal government.
"The activities which genera
ton ago were assumed by every one
to fall particularly within the
sphere of the state or the munich
pality. are now being discharged in
Washington. The inevitable result,
if the practice is continued long
enough, will be the breaking down
of local government in this coun-
try,
I'm my opinion, there is no
greater menace to the future of our
institutions than the failure Of To-
cal lf-governmeut. 1t IS con-
cevable that you can rule an em-
pire from its capital, but you can
not rule a republic of the extent of
ours from its capital. The people
in the several communities must be
able to take care of themselves and
to govern themselves.
Governor Lowden said a great
danger lurked in the tendency of
municipalities and states to GILL
for state and federal troops In times
of trouble, asserting that unless
community was capable of ruling
itself through its civil authorities
it became a liability, not an asset to
the country.
Because Of the cooperation of
civil authorities in Illinois during
the steel strike. Governor LoWden
said, it was not necessary to call out
a soldier to preserve order.
SOLDIERS are necessary he said,
"They will always be necessary TO
meet extraordinary emergencies.
but we should proceed on the
theory that every time we have to
resort to military force we have
weakened the foundations of our
republic just to that extent and
have dissipated our assets to that
extent" "

MARINE WORKERS
STRIKE IN n. !.
F. LOSING GROUND
Normal Conditions Are Ex-
peCted to Prevail by Mon
day; City's Food Distri-
button Practically Normal.

lev NONNiNd JOURNAL bPhCttL "iNeI
New York. April 2.-Railroad
owned ferryboats upon which New
York City depends for the trans
portation of it's food supplies are
operating practically normally
despite the marine workers strike,
j. j. Mantell railroad managers
representative announced tonight.
The tugboat situation looks very
good" and normal conditions are
expected to prevail by Monday, he
added.
Officials of the marine workers
affiliation declared that 5000 en-
ployes on lighters, tugs and ferries
had struck, and that the vessels
now running were being operated
by strikebreakerS.
Unless the strikers demand for
an eight-hour day is granted, union
officials threatened to spread the
walkout to the longshoremen's and
other harbor workers organizations
and completely tie up the port"
Mr.. Mantell admitted tonight
that 1000 of the 5000 men en-
gagged on ferry boats had answered
the strike call. Thirteen hundred
men employed on barges, he said
had been automatically thrown out
of work by the walkout.
The railroads are prepared to
fight the union ''to finish, Mr..
Manteil asserted, adding that the
marine workers will find out that
"they are not" dealing with the
railroad administration now" Eff
forts are being concentrated, he ad-
ded on the running of ferryboats
"in order to care for the travelling
public and the necessary food sup
plies for New York"
other than causing a few hours
delay in the receipt Of today's de-
liveries, the strike failed to affect
the city milk supply. Officials of
the two large distributing COM
paines, announced that there was
no danger of an immediate milk
famine, because of the walkout.
Freight handlers on two Lacka-
wanna railroad piers in Jersey Ciy
went out this afternoon in sympa-
thy with the harbor men. These are
the first workmen of this company
to quit,
