DEFENSE MEASURE IS
BLOCKED in SENATE
Kirby Joins in Opposition to
Armed Neutrality Measure
Asked by Wilson

Washington, March 4.-Sev-
eral senators, led by Senator
LaFollette and encouraged by
Senator Stone, Democratic
chairman Of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, in a filibuster,
denounced by President Will
sons spokesman as the most
reprehensible in the history of
any civilized nation, defied the
will of an overwhelming ma
jority in Congress up to the
last minute today and denied
to the president law author
ling him to arm American
merchant ships TO meet the
German submarine menace.
Unyielding throughout &c
hours of continuous session to
appeals that their defiance of
the president would be humili-
ating to the country; uncom-
promising in a crisis described
as the most serious to the ma
ton since the Civil war, LaFol-
lette and his supporters refus-
ed majority of their colleag-
ues an opportunity to vote on
the armed neutrality bill, and
it died with the Sixty-fourth
Congress at noon.
To fix responsibility before
the country, 76 senators, 30
Republicans and 46 Democrats,
signed a manifesto proclaiming
to the world that they favored
passage of he measure.
This declaration was embod-
led in the record of the Senate.
The Manifesto
The text of the manifesto
follows:
"The majority of the United
States senators favored the pas
sage Of the Senate bill author
ling the president of the Unit
ed States to arm American mer-
chant vessels,a similar bill hav-
ing already passed the house
by a vote of 403 to 13. Under
the rules of the Senate allow
ing unlimited debate, it ap-
pears to be impossible to obtain
vote previous to noon March
a, 1917, when this session of
Congress expires. We desire the
statement entered on the rec
ord to establish the fact that
the Senate favored the legisla-
ton and would pass it if a vote
could be obtained"
Thirteen senators declined to
sign the statement, but one of
them, Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, said that he
would have voted for the bill
had an opportunity been af-
forded him.
The Twelve Opponents
The II who went on record
with the Is members of the
house against granting to Pres
ident Wilson the authority he
asked for in the crisis are:

sofa; Cummins, Iowa; Granna
North Dakota; Kenyon, Iowa;
LaFollette, Wisconsin; Norris,
Nebraska; Works, California.
Democrats-Kirby, Arkan-
sas; Lane, Oregon; O'Gorman.
New York; Stone, Missouri;
Vardaman, Mississippi.
Associated with them in op-
position to he armed neutrali-
ty bill were the following rep
resentatives who voted against
the house bill Thursday night.

lie has won about so per cent of his games
and has been highly effective. In the last
stages of the campaign he hasn't been quite
as effective as Perrtt and If these two
meet the Giant right-hander will have none
the worse of the advance dope. Both men
have been under fire long enough to hold
their balance. The gap separating their
effectiveness isn't very wide. Perritt is a
bit more pointed toward a low-hit game.

No one knows the pitching order in ad-

career, and the best season in his league.
lie won more games and was more gem

ing is matter of many opinions. The facts
in the case are that he was harder to hit

ticotte is almost sure to hold the Giants
well in hand. They are not very likely to
hit him hard in any game.
In the same way Schupp, with his fast

the White SoX full afternoons meditation.
