5 WASHINGTON, March 31—
| Secretary of War Baker this aft-
I ernoon announced that the War
i Department has completed neo
’ essary arrangements for raising
{ an army of as many men as the
i President may desire to carry
{ out the will ofyCon%reu in deal
ing with Germany. The .Socrotarr
held conferences practically all
day with Chief of Staff General
Hugh L. Bcott, Assistant Chief
of gtaff General Tasker H. Bliss
and Colonel Joseph E. Kuhn,
rrouidont of the Army War Col
ege.
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service,
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Presi
dent Wilson will address Congress at
the earliest possible moment. He to
day sent word to the House leaders
that he is prepared to lay the ‘entire
German situation before a joint ses
sion at any time after the extraordi
'nary session convenes. His message,
he made it plain, i{s entirely com
pleted. ‘
As a result, the leaders began ef
forts to speed up as much as possible
the organization of the House. It was
conceded that despite the closeness
tof the two parties there will be no
| time wasted in organizing. It seemed
;certain. the leaders said, that the
| House could be ready for business by
’midafternoon on Monday, while the
| Senate already is completely organ-l
‘ ized.
‘ Assertion by administration leaders
sthat the President's message will be
{ positive in tone has done much to
‘olear away many obstructions in the
{ way of organizing the House. Some
| Republicans, at least, have Indicaied
F&hat they will not vote for Mr. Mann,
{and If they shal labsent themselves
| from the opening session they will
i simplify complete organization in as
i short a time as will be required to
| call the roll.
| The President looks for only minor
iupposition to passage of measures
!agsked for the safety of the nation,
;\\'hlle it is admitted that there has
; been & strong sentiment among mem
ihf rs of both Houses to do nothing of
a warlike nature except when it is
{ absolutely necessary, Democratic
leaders have reported that practicaily

Stand for the Church |
{
Because they know that the right gsolution of the problems
of life—the adjustment of the true relations of man to
man and man to God—is the mission of the Church.
Whoever is faithful in church attendance gives his in
fluence to this great work and in so doing is helping to
bring about better conditions of living for himself, the city,
the State, the world. $
It is worth much to a man or woman to be identified with ¢
the church. There {8 great personal good and inspiration $
in being a part of this force for righteousness, and much $
help for others. §
As you read over the church programs printed in the “Go
to-Church Sunday” columns today remember that your
presence at church tomorrow will confer a benefit and new
inspiration to you.
