rittsburgb. Pa., Oct. 13,^Congress is willing and ready "to vote every man and every dollar neces.sary for the suc- ceetifnl conduct of the war."
Speaker Champ Clark so declared to¬ night In an address here urging every .American, soldier or civilian, to sub- .srrlbe to the second Liberty  loan.
Declaring American wealth ought not t" slack in such a crisis, Clark added:
"Surely if our young men are willing to risk their lives on the battlefield, those of us who run no risk of life or limb should be willing and glad to pay life necessary taxes and to lend the sovernment such sums as we are able."
Clark declared that he had invested i alt his funds in the first Liberty loan, i anger liveii borrowing so that he might in- ' creasie the sum. His son, Bennett, now x ileutehant colonel of the Missouri • .National (liiard, had likewise invested savings ill  the bonds.
"in the supreme crisis of our af- f;i,irs—not of ours alone, but of the wi'iolc world's affairs—it is the duty of overy .'\merlcan. male or female, native or naturalized, to aid and sustain the government in every manner possible."
Th<' best test, he said, is that the citlxenry now should sacriflce of ifs iireat bounty and contribute generous¬ ly to the .second loan.
shipment charges.   Thia would tend to i swing  much    American    business    in China toward Japan.
Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese mission, is here acting as buffer be¬ tween the Japanese merchant princes and this government. He wants to ef¬ fect som« compromise which will paci¬ fy the "economic imperialists"—the princes—and at the same time will not tread on American toes.
At present the .lapanese are dictators of the Chinese shipping situation. In order to promote the scheme of trans¬ shipping through .lapanese port.s, ships, compelling British and American mer¬ chants toupainwiiztj J^pan'ii^ coastwise vessels going to Kobe, where the American-Japanese liners pick up Chinese merchandise.
This ha.-( caused a. shipping fight, which is now so bitter that the Ameri¬ can and British merchants want steel withheld from .lapan unless some fast agreement can be made with the Ishii mission .which will relieve the pre.sent arrangement.
Ishii's experience in shaping the gentelmen's agreement on .Japanese immigration leads to the belief that the shiping difficulties will be adju.sted.
Chicago. Oct. 13.—Wiiliam Howard I Taft, president of the League to En¬ force Peace, issued a clarion call to the people of the United States tonight to get behind their governmeni n thejed in this city war against Germany's imperialism, make the Liberty bond campaign a success and help bring liberty to the people of Germany themselves.
Taft spoke here before tfie Liberty Bond committee. He bitterly assailed Senator La Follette and all those who consciously or unconsciously preach sedition or question the justice of the . nlrance of the United States into the war. He also pleaded lor sympathy lor American citizens of Germi^n de¬ scent, nearly all of whom, he gaid, have "shown their loyalty in spi(e of the schemes and plottings and prophesies of Count von Bernstorff and his con¬ spirators."
Jn concluding his address, Tatt l»ledged the support of the league to the Liberty loan committee. He charged that the attitude of certain members of congress was predicated upon the erroneous idea that their con¬ stituencies were anti-war or pro-Ger¬ man.
"It may be that they are able, un¬ der our careful guarding of the Indi¬ vidual rights of free speech." said Taft. "to escape penalties for what is in spirit treason, but let us hope that'they will remain embalmed forever in the amber of the just contempt of the American people."

It shocks one's deepest feelings to think that a sena¬ tor in the Congress of the United States could use words of such import. Senator La Follette ignores the humili¬ ation, the dishonor and the lasting in¬ jury to our national influence of yield- ' ing the rights of our citizens, or of • withholding protection from them in i the pursuit of their lawful trades on i the high seas at the dictation of a i military power like Germany, because of a fear of that powei."

Washington. Oct. 13.—Senator La¬ Follette tonight demanded of the specia! committee investigating his fitness to remain in office the specific charges against him. In a letter to Chairman Pomerene, the Wiscmsin Pacifist ask¬ ed that the complaints against him be reduced to the form of an indictment to which he might reply in his own way.
There is a remote possibility that LaFollette will refuse to appear before the committee on Tuesday unless as¬ sured of a satisfactory  hearing.
Senator LaFollette goes on trial Tuesday to determine his fltness to continue  councils of ^he  nation.
Members of the investigating com¬ mittee stated tonight this is the mean¬ ing of the hearings on ti'e Wisconsin senator's St. Paul speech. The first clash is expected on this issue. The committee will try to test LaFollette's right to remain in the Senate by exam¬ ining his general attitude toward America's entrajice into lhe war and its policies. '       "*

Washington, Oct. 13.—.¦America's sec¬ ond lines of defense—its railroads— were the center of three Important w.ir developments today.
First, the big eastern roads, alleging lessened profits, despite vastly more business, made their first formal move for a general freight rate increase.
Second, a government ownership propaganda was definitely under way, waiting only for Congress to reopen to place its program before the nation.
Third, the big roads took official no¬ tice that their passenger brakemen and conductors will demand a wage In¬ crease of 25 per cent, beginning Janu¬ ary I.
ReprebcntlBig the roads east of Chl- tago and St, Louis and norlh of the Potomac   and   Ohio   rivers.   George   K.
the Western roads made fairly good showings, but the eastern ones fell olT heavily. The tot.ils were $111,674,157 for this year as against $115,751,287 in  1916.
The roads did 25 per cent, more business with <jut any material increase in equipment. Hut leaping expenses cut  down  nel  profits.
Government  Ownership,
Friends of federal ownership are conducting a prelllmlnary campaign before congress reassembles. They claim the railroads are falling down on the war job. They argue the roads have been permitted to enter into "pooling agreements" despite a law against it. They claim despite leeway the government has allowed tht rail¬ roads, service has rundown, congestion
tion  to  the  peace  of  the  world.    This is  the  object for  which  we are  fight- ling.    We  are  vitally  concerned  In  Its lattalnmeBf."
