TO PREVENT WAR
New York, March g. - CAS- one
who expects to live up to a citizens
duties, if war comes" William Jen-
nings Bryan today wired the follow
ing to the United Press:
Miami, Fla.-TO the Members of
the Senate and House, Washington,
D. c.: Exercising the citizens right
of petition, appeal to you. The dis
pute with Germany has passed be-
yOnd the domain of diplomacy and
some advise settlement with the
sword.
'The metropolitan press, which
tried to prevent the reelection of
the president and failed, Undismayed
by a popular verdict of more than
One-haIf million, now seeks to lash
the country into a fury and urges
the government to take part in the
European conflict.
TO you and you only is given con-
stitutiOnal authority to declare war
war, which in this case may mean
the signing of the death warrant of
thousands, even millions of your
cOUntrymen, and the laying of pre-
viOUs burdens upon future genera
lions. Before you take this blood
upon your hands, consider, I pray
you, first, that the wrongs which you
would punish, cruel and unjustifable
as they are, are not intended primar-
lily against this country, but are the
acts of desperation directed against
other nations with which the Ofend-
ers are at war.
Second - That our land is not
threatened with invasion, but that
we are asked to go 5000 miles for
a chance to fight.
"Third-That we have not the ex-
cuse for going to war that the Eu-
rOpean nations had. They had no
machinery for peace. We have a

that, by a referendum, you consult
the wishes of those who must, in
case of war, defend the nations hon
or with their lives?
Gas one who expects to live up to
a citizens duties if war comes,
plead with you to use all honorable
means to preserve peace before you
take the responsibility of 'plunging
our beloved land into this unprece-
denied struggle, begun without any
sufficient cause, and conducted by
both sides in utter disregard of the
well settled rights of neUtTals."

trict board.
