in Mexico, who are really anxious for
this war, will get their profits.
The people are denied any profits,
but are permitted to bear the burdens,
endure the hardships, heartaches,
misery and woes that result from war.
My Vote Will Be Against Resolution
/ shall vote against this resolution.
AS congressman, we have a duty to
perform which the constitution places
upon US.
1t is for congress to declare war TN
der our constitution. 1t is COR US TO
say whether or not a cau1e for var
exists.
In voting as | DO | am Z ot express
ing my lack of confidence in the wis
dom, intelligence or patriotism of the
president I am simply passing on
the facts. and am firmly of the opinion
that declaration of war upon the
facts presented is wholly unjustifa
BILE.
Mr.. Speaker when the weeping OF
the mother for her son is heard, when
the cry of the widow and the wall of
the orphan fill the land, | can say that
it was not caused by my vote to re-
quest Huerta to fire a salute.
Whether my time IN the land OF the
living be short or long, it will always
be matter of qualification to me that
when I retire at night and commune
with my God, can say: 80, God, l
thank Thee that Thou didst guide me
in voting against a measure that was
SO useless and unjustifiabIe, and that
has brought so much misery and woe
to so many poor hearts"
If War Comes
We are now considering one ques-
ton, and only one That is, shall we
have war? To me war is wholly unjus-
tifable on the facts presented by the
president.
1t is certain that this resolution
will pass, and 1t is equally certain
that war will result.
When war comes a different situa-
ton will be presented Then our lib
critics, our form of government, every
thing in our nation and her history, of
which we are so justly proud, will
be at stake.
Then our duty will be plain. 1t will
then be, Our country, right or wrong,
she must be defended"
And she will be defended. Every
loyal son will respond to the call of
duty, no matter what the cost.
When war comes, although l be-
lieve with all my heart and soul that
it ought not to come, l shall be ready
to perform my duty to my native land
as freely and periodically as those
who favor war. (Applause).

NEW DRUG AIDS SURGERY
Araesthesia Much Easier When Ure-
thane Is Used, and Less
Dangerous.

London. n.-Urethane the new anaes.
thetic, is exciting immense interest in
the scientific world. Various expert.
ments from which great hopes are
aroused have been made at Cambridge,
with animals as the subjects. The
drug is a combination of urea and al.
cohol, administered hypodermically.
After a short period of drowsiness
the subject passes into a state of deep
Inconsistencies, becomes insensible
to all pain, and. therefore, any opera"
ton may be carried out with perfect
security.
The advantage claimed for urethane
is that heart failure never occurs
where it has been properly used. An.
other advantage is that its admins.
tration is not accompanied by the
choking sensation experienced with
ether and chloroform.

tions of great combines such as the
Standard and Russian oil companies
the German syndicate which controls
the trade in potash and other concerns
whose fields include the world. The
British system of marine insurance.
! evolved by centuries of experience,
will be closely examined for models
to improve the phraseology of poll
cies.
The program as prepared by the
| committee indicates that American
thought and practise have largely in
fluenced conditions under which trade
! and commerce are carried on. The
United States and Great Britain. for
| example, have made the largest use
of the postal money order and the
bank check and the congress may
consider plans for broadening the
service rendered by both and making
them better understood The need
OF uniformity, or at least a better un-
derstanding, is illustrated by the fact
that under article 16 of The Hague
Nph hNANAOh AAlC hCaNL VI a AAAAhSA ~ -
check has no influence upon the val
idity of the check, whereas, according
to English law, the check became void
on the death of the signer.
One object of the coming meeting
will be to constitute the congress as
active influence between the biennial
meetings. The plans in this direction
will be framed along the lines of the
work accomplished by the Chamber
Of Commerce OF the United States,
which is able to back up its resolu-
tions with permanent organization.
1t is expected that the commerce
and trade bodies OF America will take
an important part in the sessions in
Paris. The international congress and
its work are well understood in the
United States, since the last meeting
of the organization was held in Bos-
ton in 1912. 1t is expected that the
coming meeting will be attended by a
large delegation of representative
American manufacturers and business
men.
The French government, in CO.
operation with the business organiza-
tions of France, is preparing for the
elaborate entertainment of the visit
ors. The delegates from abroad will
be regarded as the guests of the re-
public, and the two weeks following
the sessions of the congress will be
given up to more or less formal visi-
tations at Lyons, Grenoble, Valence,
Dion and other places of historic in
terest and industrial importance. Ex-
cursions also will be arranged to
points in Italy, Switzerland, Germany
and other countries.

late Time by the Sun.

Brussels.-A proposal to have the
world adopt a fixed date for Easter
will be discussed and acted upon at
the biennial meeting of the Interna.
tional Congress of Chambers Of Com
merce, which is to meet in Paris next
June. Ssch is the announcement
made by the permanent committee OF
the congress, which met in Brussels
to approve the program prepared for
the Paris meeting.
The fact that the variable date for
Easter causes much embarrassment
and loss in certain lines of trade is
responsible for the movement to have
the festival celebrated on a fixed date.
1t is suggested by the supporters OF
the movement that the fixed date
could be brought about by regulating
Easter by the sun instead of the
moon.
The program prepared for the meet
Ing Of the congress shows that numer-
Gus other important subjects will be
brought up for consideration. Postal
money orders and checks, bills Of
lading for steam navigation, insurance
policies in international traffic, dock
warrants, arbitral procedure and the
utility of the proposed international
action regarding unfair competition
are among the questions that will re-
ceive attention.

tive to competition may be the opera

Four days later, when Hockett re.
