WASHINGTON SHOWS COLORS; PAffllOTlSKl RUMS HAHPAMT

' (By Associated Press) - "" WASHINGTON. April 2.r-PreBldent Wilson's address was sent to the pubI lie printer early this morning and be Iheld himself ready to deliver It as i soon as the house had been organized. I Meanwhile the president went golfflng, but arranged to return to the 1 White House before noon, the hour I set for.the convening of congress. He fmade no engagements for the day. ' Having already recited ta congress ' in previous addresses most of the Incidents leading up to the present situation, it is understood that the presi

dent now will deal with Germany s acts broadly, refer particularly to the present situation in the world and deal with recommendations to place the ! United States on a war footing. Favor Open Declaration. Congress assembled with a majority openly in favor of a declaration of a state of war. if not actually a declaration of war. ; Beset on one side with large delegations of pacifists praying for peace and besieged on the other by large numbers of "patriotic pilgrims" who demand the country's entrance into the war.-congress waited to hear the president outline the long history, of German aggressions against American lives and rights and the predatory violence of her submarines.. Administration officials consider Germany has been making war on the United States for some time. A large majority in congress takes the same lew. The minority Is divided between those who think a state of armed neutrality is sufficient for the present and the very few who bpenly favor peace at any price. The capitol waB arrayed in a war spirit as congress assembled. The pacifist . delegations wearing white bands on their sleeves or white streamers across their breasts, paraded the sidewalks In numbers, filled the house and senate galleries and made calls on their congressmen. They moved about without demonstration and there were few evidences of hostility against them. ......... Patriotic Pilgrims Wear Flags. The patriotic pilgrims were hard to

distinguish among thousands of citizens 'who 'went about the day's work waring American flags. The nation

al colors fluttered and rippled, from buildings, automobiles and almost every point of vantage. , The street ear companies placed them on their cars.

Every traffic policeman's "go, go" sign

had a flag flutterlng'from its -pea. The Capitol was a wave of color. . Chairman Simmons, of the senate finance committee, conferred with Secretary McAdoo on the amount of money needed immediately by the government. It was agreed not to go into details until after, congress takes action defining the attitude of he United States and then Secretaries McAdoo and Baker and Daniels will, again dis-

jcusB he question with Senator Sim

mons ana aiso wna nouse leaaers. Senator Simmons said he thought the-credit to be granted to the president by congress should be a large one. The amount , fixed, he added, would not mean that all of it was to be used or that much more might not be asked for later. I - . " ! . Senator Simmons said there was no longer any doubt that war with Germany, would be declared to" exist,1 although the form of the resolution had not been: determined upon. 1 - -

SAL00I) OPERATORS GET LICENSES FOR REMAINDER OF YEAR

Wayne county saloonkeepers, whose licenses expire In April and' May,

technically were licensed today to conduct their businesses on Sundays, holidays and election days. , s

It - came about In this . manner.

Liquor licenses can be issued only to

April 2, 1918. when the prohibition law becomes effective.

As many licenses expire after April 2 this year they cannot be renewed for an, entire year. Cost of the licenses, therefore, had to be pro rated for the time in which they are effective. The

county tax is $200 a year. ; Costs Are All Pro-rated.

Instead of subtracting all Sundays.

holidays and election days from the

yearly total together.. with .the. days

after April 2, 1918, Auditor Bowman

pro rated the fee on the basis of 365

days a year.

Thus, If a license can run four days less than one year he subtracted the fee for four days from the total yearly

fee. The daily fee is 54 cents and eight mills. SeVen retail and two wholesale li

censes were renewed - this morning. The retail licenses were those of Luke H. Bowing, 405 Main street;. William
