Spurred by increasing menace from Germany, house leaders today planned to seek action before night on the bill authorizing President Wilson to arm chips, and rush It to the senate where an agreement exists not to pass a similar measure before tomorrow.

Indorse Senate Measure.

The administration plan Is to substitute the senate bill for the house bill, and try to force the lower body to accept the change. Senator Lafollette's attitude Is the principal cause of uncertainty over the bill's fate. He started a filibuster when an effort was made to bring up the measure at one o'clock this morning, after the long night session on the revenue bill, and finally desisted when It was agreed to put off action until tomorrow. He has not Indicated whether he intends to filibuster then. REVISED STANDING ISSUED FOR LEAGUE Secretary Taggart, of the City League, today announced the following official standing: W. .1 Pet.

Despite the fact that Mrs. W. L. Colt, a prominent New York society leader, has arrived to begin her turn at picketing the White House, bearing with her the approval of New York suffrage leaders, there is dissention in the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. Many cf the more prominent women are opposed to the "silent sentinel" plan of forcing suffrage on the attention of the President at the present time especially when the country faces the possibility of war. Others are in favor of continuing the picketing, war or no war. It had been honed

that the arrival of Mrs. Colt apparently bearing the approval of New York leaders, would win over the dissatisfied ones to the more militant policy of continuing the silent march outside the White House.

BERLIN ANNOUNCES RETREAT FROea TRENCHES ON SOBE

SrdLtf

The American' tropics are being . brought into God's country. The mighty works accomplished for sanitation and jrood health by the United States in the Canal Zone and at Havana diking the American occupation have been duplicated in a vast fringe of country circling the Caribbean sea. The people of the Caribbean lands are not only making wide use of au- ' tomobiies, street cars, concrete con- . struction, city lighting, and public water supply systems out the prob- . lems of sanitation and hygiene are occupying their serious attention. The largest, most thoroughly or- . ganized and far-reaching work for public health and sanitation ever undertaken by an American company in the tropics has been successfully carried on by the United Fruit Company. It is doubtful if any similar work of equal magnitude has ever been successfully attempted by a - private concern. Few governments . have even equalled cr approximated ; -it. We have nothing like this work I in the Philippines: The company has

Almost fringed the Caribbean

with district hospitals, dispensaries, and health camps. It has drained vast areas of swampy land. It has given hundreds of communities pure water to drink. The work was undertaken at an expenditure of millions. Several hundred thousand dollars are required annually for its maintenance. In all the company's hospitals there are fine physicians, many of them bearing post-graduate honors won at American and European uni

versities. The cumulative experience of the hospital work some of them were started before oar government

began its sanitation in the Canal Zone makes the records of great value. Often - visiting physicians come for study and special research. There are, too, American women nurses who are doing u work as big as that done on the battlefields of Europe, , Last year the medical divisions of the company treated 116,000 patients. This does not mean that there is a tremendous amount of illness lurking around the Caribbean. There isn't General William C. Gorgas, after a four months' trip.

The broad and enlightened poliey of this company cannot alone be measured in dollars and cents. It has brought to the company a prestige in the American tropics that money could not buy and to the many American doctors, nurses and sanitation engineers who have successfully fought the good fight it has brought a life-long satisfaction.

PATRONS URGE LARGE SAVING IN NEW SCHOOL

Patrons and tax payers living in Wayne township school district Number 10 met at the school building last night to further plans for securing a new district school building in Fairview. It was decided that the district school building should contain four class rooms and one assembly hall to be used for community gatherings. The patrons decided to show the township advisory board "that at the same time a new district school is be

ing erected previsions for a township vocational high school may be added at little expense by adding a second floor. One rcof would cover both floors. It was ilgured that $15,000 could be saved by the township by

building a combination grade and vo

cational hish school."

Signatures Will Not Count It has been found that many signa

tures to remonstrances against the establishment of a vocational high school in Fairview will not count,

authorities said today. Residents of

Spring Grove have no legal right to sign the remonstrance because they live in a corporation. P.ecause County Superintendent Williams and Township Trustee Edgerton were in Indianapolis today act ing on legislative committees, the meeting of patrons of school Number 10 v. Sth the township advisory board, scheduled for tonight, has been postponed.
