Washington, March 30.-Hope OF
averting war between the United
States and Germany has been dissi.
pated by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's address to the Reichstag
in the opinion Of nearly ali admin
istration officials.
Following is the text OF the speech
before the Reichstag, which United
States officials look upon as the final
blow to all hopes OF averting war:
Berlin (By Wireless to Sayville),
March 30.-"Within the next few days
the directors OF the American nation
will be convened by President Wilson
for an extraordinary session Of Con-
gress in order to decide the question
OF war between the American and Ger
man nations" said Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg in his address to
the ReicLstag.
Germany never had the slightest
intention Of attacking the United
States Of America. and does not have
such irtention now. 1t never desired
war against the United States OF
America and does not desire 1t today.
How did these things develop?
More than once we told the United
of the submarine weapon expecting
that England could be made to OBJ
serve. in her policy Of blockade, the
laws of humanity and International
agreements.
This blockade policy-this l ex-
pressly recall has been called illegal
and indefensible' (the imperial chan
cellor here used the English words)
by President Wilson and Secretary Of
State Lansing. Our expectations,
which we maintained during eight
months, have been disappointed COM
pletely.
England not only did not give up
her illegal and indefensible policy of
blockade, but uninterruptedly intensi-
fled it. England. together with her
allies. arrogantly rejected the peace
offers made by US and our allies and
proclaimed her war aims which aim
at our humiliation and that Of our
allies.
Then we took unrestricted subma-
rine warfare into our hands; we had
to for our defense. II the American
nation considers this a cause for
which to declare war against the Ger
man nation, with which 1t has lived
in peace for more than 100 years; II
this actio-- warrants an increase of
bloodshed, we shall not have to bear
the responsibility for it. The German
nation. which feels neither hatred nor
hostility against the United States,
shall also bear and overcome this"

upon Congress "the full support to

They declared that Germany had
committed acts of war against the
United States" These sentiments, en-
bodied In resolution forwarded to
Washington, carried with them q
pledge Of loyalty and service from the
West. Church joined with state, law
with education in urging war, II war
becomes necessary to carry out the
principles to which the United States
has committed herself. An Episcopal
bishop, black-robed priest, Prot
estant pastor, Jewish rabbi, the
president of a great university, an edu-
Gator of international prominence, a
governor, mayor, and two lawyers
combined to draw in clean-cut lines
the picture of the world crisis and
the duty of this country.
From the moment Ralph w. Smith,
executive chairman, called the meet
ing to order until Rabbi William 8.
Friedman closed with his prayer for
benediction, the enthusiasm grew un-
til the people stood and cheered wild
ly. waved thousands of flags and
shouted themselves hoarse.
They cheered T. J. O'Donnell, prin-
cipal speaker Of the evening, who
urged that the American flag be car
ried to the battle lines in France and
wave ahead of a legion in pursuit of
the helmeted invader as he recrosses
his own frontier, his back turned to-
ward the banners of democracy"
They cheered as each speaker de-
nounced the suggestion that the
United States back down, from her
avowed position in this crisis.
They cheered loudly when Russia
was welcomed into the fold of democ-
racies. They rose and cheered again
when the Fort Logan military band
broke into the strains of the "Marseil-
laise" at the close of a plea for France.
Every move that looked toward pre-
paredness, every utterance that con-
tanned the spirit of fighting against
violations of the nations rights, met
with united, unanimous, complete sup
port. Not pacifist voice was raised,
not protest was heard
