House Passes Bill Which Senate

More Emt)hatic.
Washington.?Aroused by the disclosure
of Germany's plot to unite
Japan and Mexico with her in a war
UDon the United States and then
convinced by official evidence of its
free people, national equality in
doned the delays and obstructions
which have checked President Wilson's
efforts to be cclothed with express
authority to deal with the submarine
menace.
The house, after a 10 hour debate
and by an overwhelming majority,
passed a bill to empower the president
to arm merchant ships and providing
for a $100,000,000 bond issue.
The bill, however, does not contain
thq grant of authority to use "other
instrumentalities" which the president
specifically desires, and would
prevent government war insurance
for munitions ships, another provision
which the president does not approve.
.
When the house bill is received in
the senate tomorrow, the senate b?l]
which the administration fully commends
will be substituted and that is
expected finaliy to be accepted by
buth houses. Official announcement
was made at the White House today
that the administration stands behind
the senate bill, "first, last and ail the
time" with its provision for "other
instrumentalities." In the senate, an
attempt to ask the president to disclose
the government's source of information
of the attempted intrigue
with Mexico and Japan on the sup
position that it came from one o
Germany's enemies was defeatct
after a sharp and sensational debate
Instead the senate merely asked fo)
official notice of the authenticity oJ
the dispatch of instructions from Ge;
man Foreign Minister Zimmermanr
to German Minister von Eckhardt ir
Mexico City. The president trans
mitted it immediately with the state
ment that it would not be compatibh
with the public interest to reveal
other details concernng it.
Members of both houses of con
gress, some skeptical of the authen
ticity of the astounding revelations
of Germany's intrigue, others feelinp
that it had been permitted to become
public for its effect in congress an('
throughout the countrv. >r>efn the <i.L
uation with mixed emotions, which
with a few possible exceptions as the
day's developments were unfolded,
solidified into a decision to 3tend behind
the president.

SAILORS' HIGH WAGES
HANDICAP OUR SHIPS
d
I
| New York.?Higher wages paid *
sailors or. American as compared to
English merchant ships will handicap
this country at the close of the war
in its competition with England for
commercial supremacy of the seas,
according to IV. George Sidney Webster
of the' American Seamen's
Friend Society. Dr. Webster's opinions
are based on observations in a
number of American ports and es
?.ii ?
pecuuiy in trie port of New York
where a large Sailor's Home is maintained
on the North waterfront.
"The increased merchant ship production
in this country," says Dr.
Webster, "will not of itself give the.
United States a commercial supremacy
of the seas, although in 191G the
output for probably the first tim'1
'n history approximated that of
Great Britain.
"This increased production will not
j entirely fly under the American flag.
i but even a large percentage of the
ships which should be under American
ownership will be under foreign
registry at the end of the war, when
the protection afforded by the American
flag is no longer necessary
and lower wages paid on foreign
ships will offer a great inducement
for foreign registry."
