Greeted Enthusiastically.

President Wilson's appearance be.
fore congress was marked by a scene
OF the greatest enthusiasm ever
shown since he began delivering his
addresses in person. Crowds on the
outside of the capitol cheered him
frantfcally as he,entered and as he
left. Congress roared cheer after
cheer in an outburst of patriotic en-.
thusiasm as he spoke. Never had he
been greeted as enthusiastically at
on this momentous occasion. 20
AS the president finished every per.
son on the floor and in the galleries
are and shouted. Most of the sen.
ators unfolded flags they wore in
their upper outside coat pockets and
waved them vigorously.
From the galleries the only mem.
bers who appeared not to be joining
in the demonstration were some sen.
ators of the group which the presi.
dent branded as "willful men," who
by preventing vote on the armed
neutrality bill, had made the great
government of the United States con.
temptible."
Chief Justice White of the United
States supreme court was among
those who cheered loudly, and there
was no division of spirit between Re
publicans and Democrats.

LIVERS MESSAGE.

characterized as challenge to all
mankind and a warfare against all
nations, President Wilson. address,
ing joint session Monday night,
as soon as the house had been or
gained. urged congress TO declare
state of war existing between the
United States and Germany.
Il advise that the congress declare
the recent course of the imperial Ger
man government to be in fact moth
ing less than war against the govern
ment and people of the United
States" the president said; that it
formally accept the status of bellig-
erent which has thus been thrust
upon it, and that it take steps not
only to put the country in more
thorough state of defense, but also to
exert all its power and employ all its
resources to bring the government Of
the German empire to terms and end
the war"
Neutrality Not Feasible.
He declared that neutrality is "no
longer feasible or desirable where
the peace of the world is involved"
and that armed neutrality had be-
come Intellectual enough at best and
was likely to produce what it was
meant to prevent. His address is
published in full on another page.
AS soon as the president had fin
ished speaking, resolutions to declare
a state of war existing were intro
duced in both houses of congress and
referred to the proper committees,
whereupon the joint session ad-
journed. While he was speaking
word of the torpedoing without
warning Of the American steamer
Aztec. the first American armed ship
to be attacked in the barred zone,
was passed from mouth to mouth, but
the president did not know of it until
he had finished.
