| luton, declaring he had prepared it or
| his own responsibility. He added, how
resentative of the organization, who re-
queSted one.

f, President Wilson in his address to Con-
gress April 2, shall have been acknowl-
/, edged and accomplished ana that for
! this cause it will continue the war UNI
til the wrong inflicted by Germany
