Washington, April 5.-The federal government moved today to put an end to the picketing of the British embassy, which was renewed this with the movement for an Irish re- public.
 United States District Attorney Laskey informed Matthew O'Brien, counsel for the women, that if his clients persisted they would be prose- cuted under federal statute which makes the offering of an insult to a diplomatic representative of a foreign government or to his off, cial residence a felony punishable by a penitentiary sentence
 Simultaneously Mr. Laskey com municated his decision to the Dis trict of Columbia commissioners, who instructed the police to arrest the women after warning them. Cap tain Doyle and two policewomen were sent to the embassy in a pa- trol wagon and found Mrs. Mary Walker of Astoria. l.. l, and Miss Mollie Carroll of New York city car rvinr banners on the sidewalk. Cap tain Doyle informed the banner bear CTS that unless they left in Is minu- tes they would be arrested under federal statutes, but they refused to depart After they had been talk en to police headquarters and held for half an hour. they were releas- ed on orders of MT. Laskey.
 The district attorney explained sub eduentlv that the police had act ed before MT. O'Brien had had time to notify his clients of the govern ment's' decision.
 An hour before the police inter- vened Mrs Sophie Stanton and Mrs Hattie Larkin of this city attacked two pickets who had preceded Mrs Walker and Miss Carroll and were arrested on charges of "disorderly condT,t" They were released upon denositinp cash forfeit of $25 each.
 Mrs. Walker and Miss Carroll were not replaced at the embassy af- ter the police took them away and leaders of the movement would not say what were their plans for to- morrow.
 When the picketing, which was started last Friday, was resumed this morning, Mrs. James Walsh of New York city, a leader of the women, said it would be continued "indifi- nitely" irrespective of any action by the police. This, however. was be- fore the government had decided to proceed under federal statuts.

Unfair to Ask Veterans of World War to Continue to Bear Bur den. Says New
 Yorker

Washington, April D. Unpreparcd- ness on the part Of the United States was directly responsible for fearful eXtraVagances" in lives and money, Senator Wadsworth, repubIi- can of New York, said today in open ing alseusslon on the army reor- ganization bill submitted by the sen ate military committee. Defending the committee plan for training boys between IS and 2l years, Sena- tor Wadsworth declared. it was un- fair to ask the veterans of the great war to continue to fill the role of defenders of the country which was rightfully the duty of "their successors in age.'
 The bill. the New York senator said, sets up military policy which emphasizes the dependence of the country on the private soldier and gives the private soldier the prior training which, experience shows, is necessary "so that when he goes into battle he may have decent chance for his life"
 Estimates that more than bill lion dollars would be reanjred actually for compulsory training" were contradictcd by Senator Wad l. worth, who said the ultimate cot would not exceed $G54, 100000 Pro visions for a graduated reduction in the size of the permanent standing army from 2S0,OOO enlisted men and 17,00O commissioned officers to 210,- GOO men and l6,000 officers in five years, he believed, would make the cost for compulsory military train ing approximately equal that necee- sary for the operation of the house bill which calls for a permanent ar my of 100000 enlisted men and IT, 900 officers.

Peace Resolution
 Comes to Decision
 in House Thursday

Washington, April 5.-Republican and democratic leadeas of the house began rounding up their forces to- day for the big fight Thursday over the joint resolution put forward by republicans, declaring the war with Germany ended. Telegrams were sent to absent members of both part ies to return here in time to vote on the resolution Friday.
 While the democrats expect to vote almost solidly against it, it will have solid republican support, ac- cording to leaders who have counted noses. It's passage by the senate also is predicted by republicans, al- though democrats declare the pres ident will veto it.
 Chairman Kahn of the military af- fairs committee declared in a state ment today that if the resolution was passed and signed by the presi- dent American military forces in Germany could be returned home, al- though orders for their withdrawal would rest with the president.
 MT. Kahn called attention to the fact that, according to the terms of the treaty, the Coblenz bridge head, held by American troops, will be evacuated after 10 years, if Ger many fulflls all her obligations, while the Cologne bridgehead, now held by British troope, will be hand ed over after five years.
 Representative Igoe, democrat, of Missouri, in statement to the house, declared much confusion and litigation would follow the ending of the war without proper provisions by treaty for ratification of all the acts of the United States affecting property of German nationals. He said said the resolution "is without precedent"

Government Will
 be Heavy Borrower

Washington. April 5.-Governors of federal reserve banks were warn- ed by the treasury department that the government would be a heavy borrower in April and May despite the March reduction of $705, 5,660,000 in the public debt.
 The number or amount of treas ury certificates of indebtedness which will be necessary to meet the nations needs are not disclosed, but another issue of such obligations is expected soon.
 It was explained that while ''im- portant progress" has been made in lowering the gross debt, it was "a mistake to assume" that reduction equal to that in March would be had next month.
 For the first nine months of the fiscal year ending June 30, the treas ury showed a deficit of $214, 100000 But during that period the peak of the war debt was reached and a comparison of the public debt by months since August 31, last, reveals a subsequent reaction both in the debt and floating obligation.

 In consequence there was active covering as well as trading and speculative demands, which carried prices into a new higher ground for the season. The advance was led bv the new crop positions with Oc- tober selling up to 35 cents late in the afternoon or more than $6 per bale above the closing price of last Thursday.

Paris, April 5.-The attitude of the French government in the pres ent German crisis is defined and explained in note tonight. After reiterating that the government has no hostile designs toward Germany, desiring on the contrary, the re- sumption of normal relations with that country and expressing realiza- tion of the difficult situation of the Berlin government, the note de- clares the German has given way to pressure by the militarist party "not fearing to infringe the imperative and most solemn stipulations of the Versailles treaty."
 . The note continues:
 "The sequence of facts follow:
 "The first request for permission for the entry of extra troops into the Ruhr district was made just aft CT the insurgent movement by the military authorities March 15. It was renewed from Berlin March IT, in the name of the legitimate gov ernment by Von Haniel, who has remained in Berlin with the consent. at least implied, of the insurgent government.
 "All information from the allied mission, and again, the day before yesterday, from the high commits sioners at Coblenz, does not cease to show that German military in- tervention is uncalled for by the situation, and it would be attended with the gravest dangers from the point of view of security both for the population and the men in the field" "
 The note then points out that if the German government had carried out the disarmament clauses of the treaty there never would have been the Kapp instruction nor the red army in the Ruhr district and re- marks that articles AZ and A are such an indispensable safeguard that article one of the Franco An glo-American convention defines as causes foederis those dispositions insufficient to assure the protection of Europe.
 It concludes:
 "The situation created by the ab- rupt offensive of the German troops in the Ruhr obliges the French government today to consider mili- tary measures, the execution of which cannot be- deferred. The sole object of these measures is to bring Germany to due respect of the treaty; and they are exclusively of coercive and precautionary charac- ter"
