DECLARES WAR Is AT END
TWenty-T TWO Democrats Favor Bill.
While Two Republicans Oppose It
-BaIIoting Follows Twelve
Hour Debate by Members.

Washington, April 1O.-The Repub-
Hcan joint resolution declaring the
state Of war with Germany at an end
and repeating most of the wartime leg
islation was adopted by the house. 1t
now goes to the senate.
The vote on the passage of the
resolution was PAP to $50; present, 2.
twenty-five Democrats joined with
the Republican majority in supporting
the resolution and two Republicans
voted against it's adoption.
Democrats Favor 1t.

Gallivan, Ganley, Goldfogle, Huddles-
ton, McKiniry, McLane, Mahr, O'Con-
nell, OConnor, Pell, HamilL Olney,
Sherwood, Sullivan, Tague, Carew,
Evans (Nev), Mead.
Republicans opposing it we're:
Fuller (Mass.), Kelley (Mich).
Before adopting the resolution the
house voted down a motion by Rep
resentative Flood of Virginia, rank
ing Democrat of the foreign affairs
committee, TO send the resolution
back to that committee with instruc-
tions to report out a substitute re-
pealing all wartime acts The vote
on that motion was III for and 222
against.
On the Democratic substitute Of
fered as motion to recOmmit, the
only vote other than that on adoption
of the resolution permitted under the
rule, three Democrats lined up with
the Republicans, while two Republic
ans joined the minority.
TweIve-Hour Debate.
Chairman Porter of the foreign af-
fairs committee claimed after the
roll call that 20 more votes. would
carry the resolution over a presiden-
tial veto. Democratic members said
vote on that question would see
party alignment virtually intact.
The debate began at eleven o'clock
in the morning and occupied all the
time of the house for more than twelve
hours. 1t was marked throughout by
sharp partisanship.
Former Speaker Clark and Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina
too a leading part in the fight on
the Democratic side, while Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leader, who closed the debate. re-
ceived a warm greeting from his
party colleagues.
Representative Kitchin's speech
aroused the Democrats to an out
burst of cheering as he assailed the
Republican membership, charging
them with hypocrisy" and challeng-
ing them to present straight-out
proposal for repeal of wartime legis-
lation if they were sincere.
Representative Longworth (Rep.)
of Ohio was sharp in his references
to President Wilson's attitude on the
League of Nations, which he described
as an "un-American monstrosity."
Toward the close of the debate both
sides were reduced to speeches of
half minutes length, in order to give
opportunity to all who wished to get
into the Congressional Record The
house derived much pleasure from
the bang Of the speakers gavel as it
cut off man after man in the middle
of a rolling oratorical sentence.
Ironic cheers came from the opposing
faction.

STREETS OF CITY
WILL BE CLEANED
Service Director SO Assures
Members Of Council; Re-
port Of Mayor

| The service department of the city
under Service Director Joseph May
er Jr., is prepared to commence work
on cleaning up the rubbish and filth
on the main streets of Mt. Vernon
just as soon as the weather breaks,
according to statement made in
council session Monday night by the
service director shortly after the reg
ular meeting had convened.
Mr.. Auskings introduced the sub
ject by asking what the outlook was
for the, service department in having
enough money in the background to
see to the cleaning of the streets
throughout the summer.
"The appropriation will be spent in
taking care Of the Streets" said Mr.
Mayer, "but ! cannot tell just how
long this money will last. do not
think the amount that the depart
ment will receive this summer will
cover the expenses for the summer,
and feel that we will have to ask
the business men on Main street to
assist in cleaning that street after
the first job Is completed, just as was
done last year. When the funds run
out, the department will have to ask
the property owners on the back
streets to do their bit again just as
they did so well last year. We will
fix the worst places most assuredly,
and the minor damages will have to
walt until the department has more
cash."
Gas Question
No definite report was received
from the committee composed of
Messrs. Porter, Auskings, and Will
liams, appointed at the last meeting
to investigate the question, as pro.
posed by the Ohio Fuel Supply Co.,
that the city council change the gov
ernlng city ordinance SO that from
date of passing the company will be
enabled to charge consumers 40 cents
per thousand cubic feet for gas. The
members of the committee reported
