Before Rep. Cooper was reached,
an impassioned appeal for the legis-
lation was made by Rep. B. =. Har-
rison of Mississippi. who is recog-
nized as the administration spOkes-
man on the floor.
Cooper, the ranking member Of
the republican minority on the for
eign affairs committee, at the out
set Of his speech, read a letter which
he said came from Sec'y of STATE
Lansing stating that no American
lives were lost when the Sussex was
torpedoed in the English channel.
Time for Accuracy.
isn't it time that we should be
accurately informed?" shouted
Cooper. Isn't il time for accuracy
of statement and truthful informa-
ton? I object TO war because some
Americans insist on riding on bel
ligerent ships under belligerent
flags. Canada does not permit wom-
en- and children TO ride under bel
ligerent flags. Canadian women and
children have been ordered of such
ships, at Halifax, while American
women and children have been per
mitted TO risk their lives.
Il was right and SO were the
members Of the. house who voted
against abling the McLemore reso-
luton, right. / was right then and /

dent and the secretary OF state both

OF the many pairs of spectacles prof
fered him fitted his eyes. he was
finally obliged 70 abandon his pre-

aneously.
