CLOSING OF MEMORABLE
SESSION
tended torpedoing thorn. Avowedly
slaps at the president's foreign policy
they brought the chief executive and
congress into sharp conflict.
Leadera of congress called on the
president and warned him if tho reso-
lutiona came to a vote-they would be
approved two to one. The president's
answer was a summary demand that
they be tabled. Three or four days
passed while tho fight was organized
from tho White House. Then his con-
gressional lieutenants struck and the
resolutions were overwhelmed. After
that congress except for one halting
exception accepted the president's
leadership in foreign affairs without
question. I
A short conflict loomed when the
president personally visited the capi
tal and told congress he had sent Ger-
many a virtual ultimatum over the
Sussex incident. Suddenly hundreds
of thousands of telegrams in five or
six identical forms poured in from
fcvery section of tho country. There
Were hundreds of bushels of them.
Astounded congress wavered- in its at-
titude. '
In a smashing speech Senator Hust
ing exposed the demonstration as back-
ed and naneed by a German-American
organisation. Officials of tho latter
admitted- it and the affair became a
cloak-room jest.
From the time tho session opened
the pot of Mexican affairs never cf.c-.a-ed
boiling. Half a dozen Republicans
led by Fall and Borah in the senate
were insistent interventionists. As
the bandit raids into American territo-
ry developed border Democrats be-
came restless.
"Watchful waiting" was jeered as a
policy productive only of bandit con-
tempt and continued outrages. Each
outbreak furnished new ammunition
for intervemtjonist oratory. At

length guardsmen and troops were sent
to tne bonier. I he movement was
supported by both parties although
Republicans charged it was a political
rather tUau a Military step. - Senator
LaFollette pushed through a resolu-
tion pledging the country against in-
tervention. Alone of Republicans he
praised President Wilson's policy.
With . the calling of stale troops a
new principle in American military
history wus established. For the
first time tho president was enable
to send . a national guardsman beyond
the boundaries of his country without
either the guardsman's or his state's
consent. 'Under tho Hay-Chamberlain
army reorganization they were simply
drafted as the "federal reserve."
Hitter protests from dependent
flooded the capitol. Wives and moth-
ers of men snatched suddenly from
their livelihoods appeared personally.
Two orders resulted one releasing
men with dependents from servin.;
and the other paying as high as $."0
a month to the families of those who
chose to servo. Two millions was ap-
propriated or this. It was declared
to te on the same principle as the aid
European belligerent!? extend to fam-
ilies of those in the trenches.
The session began with President
Wilson's message urging a greater ar-
my and navy. Fear of foreign compli-
cations and an apparent public senti-
ment gave "preparedness measures
strong backing. But many Democrats
and middlo west Republicans attack-
ing the sentiment as "hysteria" contin-
ued tho consistent foes of the presi-
dent's program. Finally a "swing
around the circle" in the middle west
by the president seemed to give the
bills overwhelming support.
The Hay-Chamberlain army act re-
organizing and enlarging both state
audi national land forces was signed
by President Wilson June 3rd. The
peace strength of the regulars was set
at 175000 enlisted men and 11 OM) of-
ficers; war strength 287000. States
were authorized to raise 423000
guardsmen a large. part of the expense
of which the federal government prom-
ised to bear.
The back of "pacificism" having
been broken the naval program four
dreadnoughts and four battle crtil.t-
ers was adopted. In three years ex-
perts declared this program would
give the United States a -fleet superior
to any other except Great Britain's.

For throe-fourths of a million dollars
congress contracted .with John Hays
Hammond Jr. for his invention by
which it is clamed the course of a
torpedo can be controlled by radio.
Drawing lessons from the European
war congress laid special stress on
field artillery; kept many U. S. army
officers as observers in foreign trench
es; appropriated $ Kl.ooo.itno for aero
nautics; and laid In a supply of armed
cars and motor trucks.
Government ownership advocates
pushed through two projects; a $:.'(-
000000 plant for the manufacture of
nitrates for explosives and fertilizer
and a $11.000 000 government armor
p.lo plant. The nitrate plant is de-
signed to extract nitrogen from the
air by hydro-electric power. Chilean
nitrate beds have been the United
States' sole commercial source ot
supply.
Naval officers are to be promote 1
In grades above commander by ex-
amination and selection rather than
length of service. U. S. navy yards
are equipped to build battleships. En-
listed men in both army and navy are
to be given increased help and oppor-
tunity to rise to commissioned officer-
ships. For those who wish but one
enlistment trade schools are to be oh
tablished with officers and specialists
as teachers.
Both Annapolis and West Point
were enlarged and the number of ca
dets to bo appointed each year in-
creased by oved T0 per cent.
The need for heavy revenues was
seen early. Sugar was stricken from
the free list. The supreme court hav-
ing validated the income tax the heav-
iest burdens in the general revenue
bill were laid on incomes munitions
and inheritances. An unsuccessful
fight was made to make public in-
come tax returns to prevent alleged
extensive "dodging."
At President Wilson's instance a
tariff commission was created; a pro-
tective tariff on dye-stuffs levied; and
a law passed to prevent traders of for-
eign nations from selling products i.i
this country more cheaply than they
did at home.
Just after the Democratic caucus
had agreed to lay the national child
labor act over until next December
President Wilson paid the capitol an
unannounit'd visit and declared' lie
had no intention of beginning hi;i cam-
paign until the measure was passed
it having been part of the party plat-
form. The caucus hastily reversed it-
self and the bill was passed by a bi-
partisan vote.
Filipinos all but won their immedi-
ate independence. The senate approv-
ed a bill giving 'rrr. their freedom in
four years at the most. But house
Democrats mostly Tammany men
bolted the party caucus and with Be
publican aid defeated this. A meas-
ure was passed granting larger seh'-
government in local affairs and prom-
ising freedom when "a stable govern-
ment shall have been established."
The Moss-Hollis rural credits law.
creating a system something similar
to the federal reserve and guarantee-
ing loans to actual farmers at not
more than 5 per cent was approved by
tremendous majorities. As high as Hf
years are given to repay loan. Though
voting for it Republicans declared the
bill faultily drawn.
The Shackleford good roads bill ap-
propriating $S500O0il0 for federal aid
to states which will contribute eoiru
amounts became law. About $fi000 -I00
will be spent next year and in-
reasing amounts thereafter. This
federal aid' to local communities was
assailed as unconstitutional but de
fended on tho ground that it aided in
the upkeep of post roads. Auto or-
ganizations backed it strongly.

ernment's treaty to sen iw v est In-
dian islands came to the senate for

Senatorial courtesy was upheld to
an extent hitherto unknown when Fed-

objection of Sen. (lallinger. Both are
from New Hampshire. A rule always
has obtained that no man shall be ap-
pointed to federal office within a
state regardless or qualifications if
he be "personally obnoxious" to a sen-
ator from that state. For Gallinger
the senate extended the rule so it ap-
plied to a national office. Gallinger
said Hublee attacked him unfairly in
politics.
Suffragists and prohibitionists both
were unsuccessful. House judiciary

uous efforts especially by suffragists
thia decision was not changed.

against "secret diplomacy" which he
said was one of the main causes of the
European war. He proposed the con-
