KAISER IGNORES WAR
 SPEECH BY WILSON But May Attempt to Re- pldiate Certain HistOri-
 cal Statements ''

> Berlin, April 5, via London, April 6.-Although most of the Berlin papers continue today their unfriendly comment and criticism of President Wilson's speech, the German govern ment has so far taken no official notice of it. It is expected that g. reply to certain historical features of his address will come later, es- pecially if, as reported, Washington sends copies to the neutral govern ments. Lt lss
 The Berlin public still maintains it's attitude of indifference to the crisis and a similar apathy is reported from other cities. In no instance, as far as is known, however, have .Ameri- cans been the subject of unpleasant incidents. The foreign office declares no change towards the American government is contemplated.
 There is little definite data available in regard to the number of Ameri- cans still in Germany. The Amer1- can Association of Commerce has been gathering list, but so far less than 500 have been recorded. Only 200 of these are men, the remainder being women and children. Moreover, the number has been steadily decreasing, as many Americans are leaving daily, for Switzerland and Denmark. There probably are several thousand still in Germany.

N. '. MAYOR WARNS
 AGAINST TREACHERY
Gives Notice Country's Pris- on Gates Yawn for All u
 Traitors.

New York, April 6.-Mayor Mitchell issued proclamation today calling on citizens of New York city to aid in the preservation of order and in the exercise of calm and de- hberate judgment in this time of stress and tension. The mayor re- minded both citizens and aliens of the federal statute defining treason with its punishment of death or im-
 prisonment for not less than five
 years and a fine of not less than
 10000.
 There will be some exceptional
 cases of mangn influence and mal- icious purpose among you," the proc lamatipn said. land, as to them. l advise you all that full and timely preparation has been made to the ex igency which exists for the mainten-
 ance of order throughout the city; and for the warning of the ill-dis- posed, quote the statue of the United States which is applicable to all residents enjoying the protection Of our laws whether they be citizens or not.
 Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere. is guilty of treason
 The proclamation has been printed 1 in all languages. The police are dis tributing copies throughout the city

uc IOSOluIIOu pdSBSO IHV HOuSO Oy a vote of 373 to 50 in the same form as adopted by the senate Wednesday night. It declares that a state of war exists and directs the president to employ all the. naval and military forces of the United States and re- sources of the government to carry on war to a successful conclusion.
 Final action on the resolution came after seventeen hours of continuous debate, and a few minutes afterwards Speaker Clark affixed his signature. After the resolution is signed by Vice President Marshall it will be rushed to the president, wha has said he would sign it.
 Among the fifty who voted against war were thirty-two republicans, six teen democrats, one socialist and one prohibitionist. Voting affirmatively, were 193 democrats, 177 republicans, two progressives and one independent.
 Miss Rankin All Tremble.
 Democratic Leader Kitchin and Miss Jeannete Rankin, the new wo- man member from Montana, were two of those who voted negatively. After failing to answer to the calling of her name, twice on the first roll call, Miss Rankin rose on the second roll call, trembling, obviously badly frightened. and with sob in her voice declared:
 1T want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war;
 Still she did not formally cast her nd 1,o1 nR hA~ eagues, wearied by the protracted de- ous voices. Sinking into her seat, Miss Rankin whispered mo" Jerry South, chief clerk, went to her seat to corroborate her vote. ,sa
 MT. Kitchin's participation in the proceedings was scarcely less d.a- matic. After debating the question privately for six hours with both op- ponents and proponents of the resolu- tion yesterday he finally announced his opposition and made stirring speech against the measure.
 Anti-Kftcllin Speech Kissed.
 Administration leaders were great ly worried last night lest MT. Kitchin's s attitude would result in a demand for a change in house leadership. Kisses from the democratic side, which greeted Representative Heflin of Ala bama, when he declared in a speech later that Kitchen should resign from congress because he did not represent the sentiment of the country, ap- peared to effectivly quiet these fears, temporarily at least.
 A majority of those who opposed the resolution, including MT. Kitchin, announced that once it was passed they would support it without reser- vation. MT. Kitchin. as chairman of the ways and means committee. will have charge of the preparation of revenue bills to meet the war ex- penses
 Consideration of the resolution frayed the nerves of administration leaders badly. Starting with virtually no opposition to the measure, it was believed they saw visions after MT. Kitchin's speech, of many votes against it. At one point they urged limiting speechmaking in order that the resolution might be passed before converts were made by the opposi- ton. No time limit was put on the

 Value of Ships Now Under GuaSd of Government Authorities Along Both Coasts-Marines and Militia Employed But No FoEco by Crews Y Is Reported.

New York, April 6.-The seizure of German merchant vessels that took refuge in Atlantic ports at the be- 'gtnning of the war began this morn ing almost immediately after congress had passed the resolution declaring a state of war between the United States and Germany. The collector of the port at Boston was the first to act. The federal officials at New London, Conn, Baltimore and New York quickly followed. Before daylight United States deputy marshals were in charge of German vessels at these points, ranging in size from the ma sjestic Vaterland of 55,2S2 gross tons, to small sailing. vessels.
 The port officers acted on orders issued by the secretary of the treasury It is understood that this move does not involve confiscation and that the vessels are held for the present as 8 measure of safety. There has been no announcement as to whether the government shall take over the ships for their use and pay for them after sthe war.
 German vessels now in American ports number ninety-one with a gross tonnage of about 6O0,0O0. This in- cludes twenty-three ships in refuge at the Philippines. eleven at Honolulu and one at Pago Pago, a port of the Pacific Islands. There are twenty ; seven German ships at New York an. chored on both sides of the Hudson river and off Staten Island; five at Boston, three at Baltimore; two at Philadelphia; three at San Francisco; two at New Orleans; two at South port, N. C.; two at Astoria, Oregon; one each at Portland. Oregon; Wins low, Washington; Seattle. Washing Jacksonville and San Juan. Porto Rico. The total also includes two German vessels which have been in. termed.
 The ships lying at their slips at the Hamburg g-American and North Ger man Lloyd docks at New York an6 Hoboken include some of the flower of the German merchant marine Four Austrian ships are also tied III here.
 Since the president delivered his war message to congress these ships . have been under heavy guard sta- toned by the collector of the port Their officers have said that lying al their docks since the beginning of the war these vessels have become SC fouled and their slips so choked witf mud that it would have been impossi ble for them to get away unless the, were extricated by dredges. At vari ous times there have been report. that the machinery and the boiler: have been wrecked by their German |. crews but of this there has been nc official confirmation.
 Collector McGovern, after boarding i, the North German Lloyd steame Willehad at New London, said tha her engines were apparently in goot condition.
 The first vessels taken over wer the Hamburg, Koenig Wilhelm II Prinz Eite1 Friederich, PrinZ Joach i'm, and Allemannia, in the Hudso, river at the foot of 135th street. Thes' ships total 3ssi3S tons and there ar' forty-one officers and 173 men il the crews. 1, The boarding party comprised

London, April 6.-Anti- German ex- citement in Rio Janiero is intense as the result of the sinking of the Bra gillian steamer Parana, according to a telegram from the Brazilian capital transmitted by the Exchange tele- graph correspondent at Buenos Aires. The Brazilian foreign minister states that perhaps a declaration of war against Germany would be necessary. The message adds that Brazil will seize the interned ships in her harbor and proclaim the existence of hostilities.
