'A LEADERS WITH WILSON ON VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Continued From First Page would vote against a warning resolu tion. Frame Measure Houfe leaders to day drafted for consideration of the House a measure proposing that Congress express its confidence in the President's handling of the armed merchantmen contro versy and recognize that it Is not a matter of legislation but of executive concern. Senators Stone, Kern, Overman, Martin, Swanson and Gore, the latter author of a Senate warning resolution held a brief conference at the conclusion of which it was agreed that nothing should be done in the Senate to day. President "Wilson' reiterated to the leaders that while dissensions in the American Congress over the question of warning Americans not to travel on the armed ships of the European belligerents was being made "industrious use of in foreign capitals" and being pictured as evidence that the country does not support the President in his stand for the observance of the laws of nations and humanity, his negc tiations with Germany are embar rassed, and, in fact, cannot be Confident that they can beat all antiadministration resolutions by a heavy vote, the President and the leaders framed plans to bring them out first on the floor of the House, where they plan to defeat them. The President paved the way for his action last night and incidentally surprised Congress by calling on Acting Chairman Pou, of the House rules committee, to provide the parliamentary machinery for immediate consideration of the resolutions on the floor.

Inasmuch as the resolutions have been held in the House foreign affairs com mittee by main force of the administration leaders at the request of the President because of fears for the results if they were allowed to come out for a vote, the President's action, taken without consultation with the leaders, caused no little amazement. At to day's conference, however, to which the President summoned Chair men Stone and Flood, of the Senate and House committees dealing with foreign affairs, and Senator Kern, the Democratic floor leader, he explained his purposes fully. After the president, Senators Kern and Stone and Representative Flood had been in conference for an hour. Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Kitchin, of the House, were sum' moned to join the conference. An ef fort was being made to decide on the form of action Congress should take Form Undetermined The conference agreed that in def erence to the wishes of President "Wil son, a vote would be taken in the near future in both Senate and House on resolutions warning Americans to keep off the armed ships, but the form in which the resolutions will be presented will be determined later.

Im mediately after the conference Chairman Flood went to the Capitol and called his committee together to frame a resolution. The President made it clear that he did not want a vote on a resolution expressing support of his conduct of the diplomatic controversy and as a result of his position the vote will be taken on a resolution warning Americans off armed ships. Administration forces are sure they can beat it. The President also discussed the question with Acting Chairman Pou of the rules committee. The Presl dent asked that as soon as the House Foreign Affairs committee had pre pared its resolution the rules com mlttee bring in a rule for discussion and a vote on the floor.

At the conclusion of the conference the leaders hurried back to the Capi tol. It was almost certain that the parliamentary situation in both houses would prevent a vote coming up to day. The President explained to the leaders that he had written to the rules committee not because he was dissatisfied with any action of the foreign affairs committee, but because he thought it expedient as he realized that a special rule would necessary to provide for immediate constitution. Chairman Flood after some conference at the Capitol said that after he had drafted a resolution he would confer with the President on its exact form before it was presented to the House. Speaker Clark ana Majority.

Leader Tomorrow you may read in this newspaperwhat PRESIDENT WILSON says about ADVERTISING Later yon will learn whaf other leaders say i i i. Mii YY iHlW WW WWWWWWW i i i i i i i i i i Kitchin said no action could be taken to day in the House and that the con ference had been devoted cluetiy to discussing procedure. 4 The habit of obedience has been developed to a high degree in Congress," was Mr. Kitchin's answer to a question with prospects of a vote. He is one of those who have favored the resolutions.

One plan discussed was for the House Foreign Affairs Committee to report adversely one of the pending resolutions and at the same time have the Rules Committee bring in a rule limiting debate. By that plan a vote could be reached In the House to morrow or rnaay ana me Question would be taken up in the Senate immediately afterward. The President told the leaders the foreign situation was no more serious to day than it has been for several weeks, but he believed action should be taken quickly to show the world that the American government was not divided. Wilson Feels Sure Some of the conferees thought the best procedure was for the Senate and House to adopt a resolution supporting the President's position but Mr. Wilson vetoed that plan and expressed a desire to have the vote on a resolu tion warning Americans off armed ships because he was confident that it would be defeated.

Leader Kitchin said he did not think the McLenmore resolution would be the one offered by the Foreign Affairs Committee, and Chairman Flood said It was his opinion that none of the resolutions now in his committee would be chosen for the test. It was understood that some of the leaders who conferred at the White House to day still differed with the President's position. Speaker Clark who predicted last week that a warning resolution would pass 2 to 1 at that time, said he did not know the sentiment of the House now ana refused to say how he himself would Wilson's Letter Asking Congress For 'Showdown' on Armed Ship Issue Following is the text of the President's letter to Representative Pou: "The White House, Washington. "Feb. 29, 1916.

"My Dear Mr. Pou: "Inasmuch as I learn that Mr. Henry, the chairman of the Committee on Rules, is absent in Texas, I take the liberty of calling your attention, as ranking member of the committee, to a matter of grave concern to the country, which can, I believe, be handled under the rules of the House only by that committee. "The report that there are divided counsels in Congress in regard to the foreign policy of the Government is being made industrious use of in foreign capitals. I believe that report to be false; but so long as It Is anywhere credited It cannot fail to do the greatest harm and expose the country to the most serious risks.

I therefore feel justified in asking that your committee will permit me to urge an early vote upon the resolutions with regard to travel on armed merchantmen, which have recently been, so much talked about. In order that there may be afforded an immediate opportunity for full public discussion and action upon them and that all doubts and BRIGHTER CIIILDREII Childrenareprobablybrighterto day than a generation ago but are they stronger?

Germany's latest assurances on the conduct of submarine warfare presented Monday by Count Von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing, are hot so broad as the United States desired, but it is indicate no further steps will be taken by this until the administration is certain its action will not be embarrassed in Congress. The assurances reiterated in the lat est communication are regarded as not so complete as those originally given as the result of the Lusitania negotiations and it indicated today that the pending Lusitania agree ment would not be finally accepted as satisfactory at this time.

Lime and Tuberculosis Dr. Roberts Barlholow, former professor In Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, says In his Materia Medlea (1805), ou pages 215 and 216: "Clinical experience baa shown that It (referring; to a calcium salt) possesses the oenneu property known as alterative, removes certain toxle or morbific materials and seen res their secretion by the organs of elimination. The testimony which has lately been published in respect to Its curative powers In consumption la certainly very striking." He does not refer to testimony regarding Eckman's Alterative, since the medical profession never publicly recommends proprietary remedies. However, many cases of consumption seem to have yielded to this remedy. This success may be due largely to the fact that in Eckman's Alterative a calcium (lime) salt is so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be easily asdlmilated by the average person.

It contains neither opiates, narcotics nor habit forming drugs, so is safe. At your druggist's or direct. Eckman's Laboratory. Philadelphia. Advertisement.
