While the authorities Of the Sther
German states have not taken similar
action in regard to atrocity tales. such
stories have practically disappeared
from all but few Of tho less respon-
sible papers. A great part of the credit
for the saner mood now prevailing in

HOPES to Procure Second Term. Re-
publican House Leader
Declares.

The charge that President Wilson is
building up a personal machine which
will aid in procuring second term
was made on the floor of the House
Saturday by Representative Mann OF
| Illinois, republican floor leader. lie
intimated that former Gov. Folk OF
Missouri, now chief counsel for the
interstate commerce commission, and
Joseph f. Davies. who is secretary Of
the national democratic committee and
also commissioner of corporations with
every probability Of being made chair

machine.
Mann's Declaration.
II notice on every side said Mr..
Mann. that the distinguished gentle
man who is now President of the Unit
ed States is building up personal ma
chine, as far as he can, to secure his
denomination. With such eminent office
holders as Judge Folk and Mr.. Davies
in prominent positions, mainly en-
gagged in trying to build up a. per
sonal organization for the President;
with the President quarreling with the
joint appointing power at the other
end of the Capitol, and constantly re-
fusing to listen to advice frfom demo
cratic members of this House unless
they agree to do what he wants, l ask
you gentlemen whether you thlnk ne

"He has it within his power to keep
one plank Of the platform safely at least.

other plank You have refused to carry
out the other plank VIII the President,
having accepted an election and 4 nomina-
tfon on the principle Of one term, keep
even one plank in the democratic plat
form?'
Mr.. Mann said he called attention to
the Baltimore platform lin good humor,
because it is almost an offense in this
House nowadays to refer to the last
democratic platform"
Cites Joint Resolution.
Just before the Baltimore convention"
Mr.. Mann added, Representative Clay
ton, now a Judge in Alabama, introduced
and had reported favorably from the COM
nlittee on judiciary joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the federal Con-
stitution to provide that no person who
has held the Office Of President shall be
selected to that Office or hold that Office
again. This resolution had just been re-
ported into tho House. 1t was reported
Juno IS. The democratic platform was
erected within q month after that time,
containing q plank favoring a single
presidential term
No Excuse for President
II might refer to other planks in the
democratic platform, not one Of which do
they pretend to keep. but here is a plank
where they pledged the candidate to the
principle Of one term for President. It
is true that the democrats abandoned tho
resolution Of Judge Clayton for one term !;
but tho abandonment Of that by the
House democrats does not excuse the
President, who was pledged to the prin-
ciple upon a platform which says our
platform Is one Of the principles which We
believe to be essential to our national
welfare; our pledges are made to be kept
when in Office as well as relied upon dur

For Honest Neutrality.

Representative Vollmer said:
'Thfs meeting has been called in the
interest Of honest neutrality. best de-
fned in the first neutrality proclama-
tion ever issued By an American Presi-
dent-deorge Washington-as an atti-
tude friendly and impartial toward all
the belligerents.' But President Will
son went further. He advised all
American citizens to place an embargo
on their utterances, their expressions
with the view that neither in word nor
deed should we. as a nation or as indi-
viduals composing the nation. offend
against the highest conception OF true
neutrality. It was noble thought uni-
versally applauded. And then, October
last, he had us all pray for peace.
while the country prayed its hands
were being filled with blood money.
The prayer was mere lip service. Oc
tober 8 we went back to the work of

ceived from furnishing our fellow-men

calmly enough, but with an undercur-
rent of deep feeling, particularly when
he mentioned his efforts for an under-

Great Britain, Germany and the United

Congress Urged to Act.

Representatives Vollmer and Stafford
of Wisconsin and A. g. KoelbIe Of New
York urged the enactment of a law
which would forbid tho expectation OF
war material to belligerents. A resolu-
tion to this effect WAS unanimously
adopted by the meeting, as follows:
Resolved, That We, as citizens of the
United States in mass meeting assem-
b1ed, do voice our strong protest
against any action or conduct upon the
part OF our government, or It's officials,
which might injure or offend any ma
tion with which we are at peace, and
SO violate strict and impartial neu-
trality, which we are In duty and honor
bound to observe. Further, we do most
earnestly protest against and object
to further sale and export Of arms and
munitions of war to the belliserents
whereby one nation or party Of nations
may have advantage Of other nations.
admitting such sale and export to be
incompatible with that neutrality
which requires our country to abstain
from every act which makes better or
worse the condition Of the belligerents
We call upon Congress and the Presi-
dent to Immediately enact such laws as
will exactly fix the status Of contra
band articles, In conformity with that
high standard of morality which we
