Washington, April 6.— (By The As­sociated Press.)—Barred from the streets surrounding the British em# bassy, the Irish pickets Tuesday took to the air.

From a flying machine, they rained down packages of leaflets expounding the Irish cause, and challenged the po­lice to come up and stop them. There being no sky cops in the national capi­tal, no arrests 'were made. Four land pickets, however, who ventured out earlier in the day, were arrested and held in the house of detention.

The "bombing" expedition attracted plenty of attention but it registered no hits. A low visibility and squally winds scattered the '"bombs" everywhere but on the embassy.

Berlin, April 16.—(By The Associated Press.)—Chancellor Mueller declares that M. Millerand, French premier, at first informally consented to Germany's present military action in the Ruhr dis­trict, on the assumption that the opera­tions would consume only two or three weeks, and alleged that, influenced by the French generals. Millerand decided "to make politic«] capital" out of Ger­many's internal conditions.

The chancellor also asserted that the French procedure was bound to give aid ! ,*r,>d down on groups of romping chil-and comfort to the German Spartacans. dren in Dupont circle. who continue to flaunt their lawlessness Evidently somebody in the embassy wherever they are given the opportunity.

"Down with British militarism," was the legend it blazoned from the old mid-Victorian mansion all evening. It fur­nished the capital with a topic for dis­cussion of British humor.

But quite behind the curtain of good natured banter which lias accompanied the exploits of the pickets so far, is something more serious to which the government is giving careful considera­tion. The international tinge of the affair, officials feel, make it of more moment than the demonstrations of the militant suffragists which were con-

There was some debate in the house, during which it was indicated that the Democrats would vote almost solidly against the resolution. Representative Venable, Democrat, Mississippi, attack­ed the constitutional power pf congress to take such action, characterizing it as an attempted usurpation of the treaty-making functions, while Representative Mondell, Republican leader, asserted

The action was the outgrowth of a strike of carpenters, plasterers, inside electricians and building laborers which began April 1, upon failure of the mas­ter builders and contractors to agree upon the demands presented by unions in the building trades council.

The carpenters and plasterers demand­ed an increase from $7 to $8 a day;

The "big four" delegates were select­ed at a recent unofficial convention of the Republican party and Bennett en­tered the race for a place on the dele­gation.

The vote for the "big four" in this city follows:

Nathan L. Miller, 05,530; Senator Joseph S. Wadsworth, Jr., 05,863; Senator William M. Calder, 08,733; Wil­liam Boyce Thompson. 63,745. Ben­nett's vut® was 23.S51.

Intent Not to Resume Plain. The majority report recited a number

of authorities on international law to support the committee's contention that there were three methods of terminating a belligerent status—by treaty, by con­quest, and subjugation of one cômbat-a,?.t'.<>r "by the merely cessation of hos­tilities so long continued that it is evi­dent that there is no intention of re­suming them.''

It lias become "the plain duty of congress ' to declare "the admitted facts" that the war with Germany was ended, the report said.

"There has been," it continued, "a complete suspension of hostilities on. both sides without any intention of re­suming them. Congress is clearly exercis­ing powers which are within its consti­tutional rights in recognizing and declar­ing that the war is at an end. As, by the resolution of April 6, 1917, congress officially recognized the fact that war had been thrust upon us, so now it be-comes. the duty of congress to give official recognition to the fact that the *ar is ended. Moreover, the general welfare of the United States imperative­ly demands that all uncertainty upon this subject shall cease, and that the extraordinary war powers of the govern­ment shall be vacated and set aside.

The effect of this resolution on all of the war legislation will be precisely the effect that the ratification and procla­mation of the treaty would have had. Laws that were to be in force for the period of the war would have ceased with the president's proclamation; under this resolution they will cease with the date of its passage.

Says Senator Is Presidential Candidate to Gain Delegates

Against Administration.

The attorney general said he had en­tered the Georgia primary because "certain enemies of the administration" proposed to enter a candidate "with the intention only to secure a delegation to the San Francisco convention which might be controlled by the critics of the administration."
