WASHINGTON, April 2.-Pacifists
who came to Washington by the thOus-
auds today under the guidance of the
Emergency Peace Federation TO pro-
test to congress against war had a tur-
bulent time. The capital, bedecked with
the national cOlOrs and overlooking
with patriotic enthusiasm, gave the
peace advocates anything but a cordial
reception.
ON the streets. the white arm bands
and We want peace streamers of the
visitors drew frequent jeers. At the
capitol patriotic pilgrims" from var
ious cities went over the same course
as the pacifists, urging members Of
congress to uphold the hands o. the
president and the honor Of the alton.
There We're various disorder the
most sensational incident of the day
following a call al the office Of Senator
Lodge 10y a pacifist group from his
state Massachusetts. The senator was
called to the door to near the argu
ments Of the visitors. There were
harsh words and then blows were eX-
changed between the senator, aged 81,
and Alexander w. Bannwart, 80 years
old, of Dorchester, born in Switzerland
Of Swiss German parents.
Senator Lodge sent his antagonist to
the floor with a blow to the jaw, and
while the office force was clearing
away the other pacifists, a young man
in the corridor pummelled BannWart
vigorously before turning him over for
"a beating at the hands of David B.
Herman, a half-srown telegraph mes
seuger. Then the capitol police ap-
peared and BannWart very bloody. was
locked up charged with assault. Later
he was released on $1,000 cash bail for
his appearance in police court tomOr-
row morning.
BannWart for some time has been a
promoter and secretary of the Wood
row Wilson Independent League of
Massachusetts. He was graduated from
Princeton University in 1906.
Excitement over the fight in the
capitol had just subsidized when a thOus-
and Of the peace champions, wearing
white arm bands and banners bearing
such inscriptions as Keep out Of war
and we want peace" began to assem-
bic on the east entrance steps of the
capitol for a demonstration. 1t was re-
marked that foreign accents were fire.
QuentlV to be heard, and sentences In
German were spoken more than once.
The police started TO clear the broad
steps before the demonstration was
fairly begun. They had some Difficult
Is, and the reserves were sent Tor IN 2
hurry. Then the pacifists were pressed
back to the edge of the plaza, the po-
lice forming lines to keep them there
About this time pilgrims of patriot
ism" and other anti-pacifists made
their appearance.
Heated arguments started imme-
dfately and at least two fist fights Were
launched The belligerents were quick
~ separated. then the antipacifists
grouped themselves about the crowd
ard ieered and booted. They applauded
the police everv time one of the pacif-
ISIS was required to go back of the
lines.
After an hour the pacifists assembled
at convention hall for a b -siness meet
ing. The convention hall adjoins a ma
tional guard armory, and guardsmer

claring war upon no other; only grid
ing itself TO take up the gauntlet mat
has been so ruthleSsly thrown down.
The president reached the capitol
about $40 AS his big motor swung
around before the east front of the big
building, two troops OF the Second reg
ular cavalry on guard, SaberS glittering
under the arc lights, swept the plaza
clear while hundreds of people cheered.
He was taken Immediately to the
speakers room and then into the house
chamber where the senators were just
filing in. Six members of the supreme
court who had taken seats in front of
the speakers stand, stood and faced
about.
The president entered amid deafening
cheers. 1t was noticed that Senators
/ La Toilette, Stone and Cummins, who
helped defeat the armed neutrality bill
in the last session, did not join in the
applause. Senator La Toilette stood
with arms crossed and head sunk over
his chest. Senator Lane, another of the
group, applauded mildly and Senator
Kenyon more vigorously.
Reluctant up to the last moment to
take the final step in the long CON
troversy with Germany. President
1 Wilson showed as soon as he got up
early this morning that he was ready
for the inevitable task.
Before breakfast his address to con-
gress, written by himself on his type
writer was sent to the public printer
is a sealed envelope.
Realizing that it would be hours
before he could speak. the president
! freshened Up on the golf links until
noon.
Although it was the presidents idea

until tomorrow if preparations were
not completed by that time, he
changed his mind as the day wore
on. and determined TO go to the capt.

Late in the afternoon Democratic
Leader Kitchin conferred with the
White House by telephone and fixed
the hour at o'clock
The contents of the message were
more closely guarded than ever be-
fore. Not even members of the cabinet
were shown the text. Mr.. Wilson read
the proof on the address himself
The president remained up until
nearly midnight tonight talking with
Colonel z, NJ. House
The presidents voice was clear and
grew stronger as he proceeded.
1t was a very serious and quiet
audience Not until the president de-
clared Eve will not choose the path
of submission" did his auditors ap-
plaud Those words drew shouting and
handclapping.
Scarcely had the sounds of this
demonstration died away when the
president declared that the congress
should declare that a state Of war
existed and a second demonstration
began.
Representative Caldwell of New
York first rose to his feet and yelled.
Every one of the supreme court
judges stood. Chief Justice White
smiled and vigorously clapped his
hands as did Justices Pitney and
Clarke.
By far the greatest outburst came
when the president declared for an
army of 100000 men selected on a
universal service basis. Chief Justice
White was one of those who joined
most heartily in the handclapping at
this point, which lasted nearly q
minute.
Mention of the recent overthrow of
the Russian monarchy brought loud
cheers.
Wave after wave of applause met the
presidents reference to German spies

that spies were here even before the
war began. That the German govern

very doors of the United States was
! eloquertly proved, he said, by the rev
elation of the plot to embroil Japar
and Mexico in war with the United

AUTOMOBILES TO HAUL
LABORERS TO FIELDS

jamestown. N. D., Aug: 22.-Use OF
the automobile to take farm laborers
to the farms as a patriotic duty. thus
.expediting work during the harvest, is
urged by Robert j. Leth, state farm
specialist Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. whose headquar-
ters are in this city.
Business men ought to form an
automobile squad In every town and
city throughout the state to aid in the
work." says Mr.. Leth. in a letter to
all county representatives. IF one
mar can place Ave laborers on the
Job two hours earlier than would 9TH
erwise be possible it constitutes the
same as a ten-hour day work. The
idea is practical and will greatly helr
conditions at this time.' ~
