PRESIDENT Wilson has dropped the mask,

ority of the Americans will support him
in his last extreme step. president Will
son wants to take no risks says this
newspaper. For him and his hackers.
ust as it is for the English, there Is no
hcroism in his action. His great moral
conceptions are only so much froth.
America has put so much money into
outl-';erman enterprises that the Nor

For that reason. and for that reason
only, must open war now begin against

tlnction between the German government
and the German people. The German
PEOPLE Indignantly reject this arti1ce."

13 Hours Debate

Action in the Senate came just after
II o'clock at the close of a debate that
had lasted continuously since ~ O'Clock
this morning.
The climax was reached late in the
afternoon, wher Senator John Sharp
Williams denounced a speech by Sen
ator La Toilette as more worthy OF
Herr Won Bettmann- HollweS than OF
an American senator.
The passage Of the resolution was
not marked by any outburst from the
galleries and on the floor Of the sena-
tors themselves were unusually grave
and quiet. Many of them answered to
their names in voices that quivered
with emotion.
The galleries were filled to overflow
ling and on the floor back of the sena-
tors seats was almost half tho mem
hership of the House. In the diplomat
&c gallery was Secretary Lansing,
Counsellor Folk Of the state depart
ment: Minister Calderon Of Bolivia
and Minister Ekeneren of Sweden.
Earlier in the evening Or. Ritter, the
Swiss minister in charge Of German
interests in this country. had been
there.
Secretary McAdco was on the floor
during the last few hours Of the de-
bate.
