War and navy officers were ready with orders to fleet and army to send them -against te forces of the government which the president and the congress decreed "thrust this war" upon th nation. Every resource of the hundred millions of Americans were placed behind the president for the prosecution of the war, by the resolution which received the final endorse ment of congress tonight. It was a weary, bedraggled house that struggled through the' night to cast its war vote.

This feature of National endeav or has been placed in the hands of Mr. Herbert Hoover, who has had ex perience in the matter of handling large problems of food production and food distribution. The thoroughness of the Government's plans for an in crease of agricultural production and conservation of the supplies is one of the most reassuring features of the situation. The United States has en tered upon the perils and pangs of war upon a co-dpetative basis broad er, more thorough and more compre hensive than anything; known in the history of the country.

' , ; 1 Speaker Champ Clark did not vote. The remainder of the house, democrats and republicans, voted in fav of the resolution. All efforts to reach an agreement on a time to vote on the war resolution in the house failing, the administration forces last night by a vote cut down the time of each speaker to five minutes and prepared to go through the night if necessary to pass the measure. Representative Flood, of Virginia, in change of the measure, made a vain effort to reach an agreement on a time for a vote, shortly after 9 o'clock. The effort failed. "We can stay here till sun up if we have to," said Speaker Clark. But tomorrow is Good Friday, pointed out Representative Flood, "and some members of the house ir.sy feel that they would not wish to vote on p. war proposal on such a day.?' f The administration leaders then put through a voce vote, the proposal to limit all further speeches to five minutse each, and the house again settled down to the grind of discussion. Before the fin?.! vote was begun in the formal session of the house. Rep resentative Britton sought to secure a roll call vote on his amendment. He was able to muster only 33 supporters, however, and could not fulfill the demands of the rule which says that one-fifth of the house must second a demand for a roll call. The vote was thsn ordered on the final passage of the resolution and the fateful roll call began. Shortly after 2'oclock, the speakers halted their five-mirtute speeches: They substituted requests for permission to print speeches in the Record, and it was apparent that the long debate was drawing to a close. The final vote on the resolution declaring the existence of a state of war beween the United States and Germany was begun in the house of repre sehtatives at 2:35 o'clock this morning. The passage of the resolution was assured. All amendments to the measure, inculding those proposing to prevent the use of American land forces in Europe during the war, were voted down. - 4 - i FREELAND MOTOR CO., C. E.
