PAP Err

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 7.
Before a Joint session of the
senate and house today President
Wilson delivered his message, re-
garded as the most important In
recent years.
The crowds which flooded the
galleries and floor listened in
tently. The presidents castiga-
ton of hyphenated Americans was
delivered while the audience sat
in tense silence.
No Germans There.
There were no German diplo-
matte representatives In the gal
lery, though those of other bellig-
erents were numerous.
Blind Chaplin Couden prayed
that congress act calmly, dis
creetly, and wisely, serving the
peoples best interests.
There was tremendous applause
as the president entered. His
voice was faint as he began his
message, but grew strong as he
progressed.
IL was noticeable that when the
president spoke of the needs OF
the army and navy there was gen.
orally no applause.
Crowds Come Fairly.
Thousands thronged to the
capitol at an early hour, hoping
to get glimpse of the. president.
Many women made their way to
the galleries carrying their
lunch and knitting, and prepared
to stick to the last.
Gallery admission was by
card only. Neither house plan
ned any important business other
than hearing the message.
Gallery seats were reserved
for the presidents daughters and
Mrs. Gait, who was the center of
attention and strict police pre-
cautions.
Secret service men were scat.
tered through the corridors and
entrances and massed about the
presidents elevator.

Germany, he points out, holds wide

must pay the price fixed by the victors.
