CONGRESS GRANTS
WILSON'S WISHES
Executive Clothed With Great;
Power In Wartime. -
BUTLER A "SUBMISSIMIST"
Willing to Grant Anything That Will
Bring the War to a Successful Ter
mination Thousands of Loyal Let
ters Are Received by Representative
and Senators.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. April I Special.
''Var legislation which no one would
lave dreameel of a short time ago is-
:OW pushed through congress with
great rapidity. Evidently congress in
tends to do all it can to further the
prosecution of the war against Ger
many. ' Congressman Butler of Pennsylva
nia, a Republican and the ranking
minority member of the committee on j
naval affairs, voiced the view of a
great many members of congress dur-
nir the discussion of one of these war
measures when le said that he was a
ubmissimist." lie was willing to
submit to whatever the administration
thought was necessary to carry em the
war.
Commander In Chief.
I sometimes wonder whether the peo
ple of the whole country realize how
much is meant by the words "com
mander in chief of the army and
uavv." words used in the constitution
which in times of war vest in the
president of the United States more
l ower than the czar of Itussia had be
fore he was dethroned, more rower
than is possessed by the kaiser of Ger
many, more power than any man ever
had in any modern government.
There is nothing that the commander
in chief in the United States cannot do
!&.time of war. He is absedute. The
only check is that congress must make
appropriations every two years. But
there never was a congress in time of
war that was not under the control
of the president, the commander in
chief.
The Precidsnt Wins.
It is not surprising under these cir
cumstances that the president wins in
any contest he has with congress. TUs
president got just the kind of war
declaration ho wanted. lie had the
kind of bond bill passed which suit
ed him. He had various otuer war
measures passed in accord with his
desires. Even in the matter of con
scription, opposed by so many men, lie
has his way.
"Stand by the president," is the
strongest phrase that has ever been
framed. It means that, no matter
what a majority of the people may
think or what their representatives
may L-elieve wise, whatever the presi
dent wants must be grantc-d.
Loyal Letters.
Thousands of letters, petitions, reso
lutions and. in fact, all kinds of docu
ments are being received by "senators
and representatives indicating the loy
alty of the people of the United States
to the government at the present time.
These communications come from civie
bodies and various other kinds of or
ganizations and from individuals.
Many of them contain suggestions as
to what ought to be done, advice to
senators and representatives and to
officers of the federal government.
For a time the columns of the Con
gressional Itecord overflowed with
these communications until protests
were made by many senators, and
there has been an effort during the
past few days to keep out of the Ilec
ord all such matters as far as possible.
Of course only comparatively few peo
ple read the Congressional Record, and
it is impossible for the press of the
country to carry even a small propor
tion of this class of literature and give
it publicity. The loyal feature of it.
however, is gratifying to the govern
ment at a time when the nation is pre
paring for its part in the greatest war
of history.
Guards Everywhere.
In these days of uncertainty it is
found necessary to place guarels almost
everywhere, but even with the pre
cautions that have been taken in re
gard to public buildings in Washing
ton one man was able to break into
the committee on naval affairs of the
senate one night, and it was supposed
that he was' in search of information
relative to the navy. T do not un
derstand," said Senator Ollie James
of Kentucky, "how that fellow man
aged to secrete himself in the capitol in
view of all the precautions that have
been taken."
There are hundreds of nooks and
corners in the capitol building which
would make hiding places, but in the
future every one of them will be look
ed into when the building is closed for
thA night.
Foreigners Willing to Serve.
Congressman James has made up a
list of thirty-five names of meu who
offered to enlist at Ironwood, Mich
and a remarkable fact about the list
is that it is made up largely of foreign
ers. "With a ' few purely American
names arq those of Polish, Austrian
Scandinavian, Finnish, Italian, French
and Croatian.
Congressman James says that the
njeu of foreign birth or parentage In
Ills district are among the most loyal
of the republic

There is an old saying that "Na

Nature very much and thereby enable
it to effect a cure in much less time
than is usually required. This is per
ticularly true of colds. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs

its expectoration, allays the cough and
aids Nature in restoring the system
to a healthy condition.

BRITISH CAN'T BEAR

German Secretary or interim Says
U-Bcats Sunk 1,600.000 in
Two .Mo.rh-i.
Amsterdam. April 2'J. In the i;r.t
two months of un re.-trie ted subma
rine warfare more than 1.'.im.ihm
tons of shipping' was sunk by th
Germans. Dr. Kail Hclrfe-rich. Ger
man secretary of th interior, to!d the
Reichstag main committ.-e ye-te'-day.
Asserting that the s-u! -marine cam
paign Vi.s preing a giva. .-uci. c -s.
he continued:
"The first month's results excelled
the best previous results by J r
cent. The second month's by -"o pi r
cent. Exact figures canot !, given.
but in the first two mortis tin
freight tonnage sunk exceed i l.''1''1.
00f, of which more than
was British.
"Perception of economic c"ii.liti-i;-in
England is didkult, a the Biiti.-h
government since the beginning f
unrestricted submarine warfare has
decided on far-raching stati.-tical
concealment. England could v.
longer afford the publicity -f the
earlir period of the war.
"From our figures, one may esti
mate the total tonnage still avai'al.U
for British trade at T.ooo.o.m to 1",
000, ). It is clear the Bi i i.-h it r
chant fleet canont long bear sinking--at
the present rate. Adp iu- sub
stitutions by new con.-trin.tion- ;,it
impossib'e." "The wooden slaps wh'uh the
United States intends t build to
save Great Britain will in all prob
ability only come into use wlun they
have nothing more to save. Gr-at
Britain's attempt to alleviate her dif
ficulties is doomed to failure t-cau-e
of her total imports in l'.'lo of -'.-000

among the rest were many thing-; in

Milk in Winter.
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature docs not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we hae come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas' Stock Remedy v,hich con
tains the very ingredients thct the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee that tU
remedy will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk with the same
feed.
