today had developed along
three lines.
First-Efforts of neutrals--con-

as will empower him to protect Amer
lean seamen and American people en-
gagged in legitimate pursuit of their
business on the high seas.

ing, which was short and entirely de-

moments that marked the session held

told his advisors he had practically de-
termined to sever relations with Ger
many.

as authoritativeIy outlined, will

Moore of Pennsylvania Says
World Has Been Raked

Which Will Cause War.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Nituperatiye
denunciation OF England and the indi-
rect charge that she is fostering "ly-
ing and pernicious reports to excite
Americans to war was made on the
floor of the house today by Representa-
tive j. Hampton Moore. Republican,
Pennsylvania). London has been
crazy with delight since President VIII
son announced break with Germany"
he declared.
I'VE had trouble with England in
1876 and 1872 and am not quite ready
to believe every. pernicious and lying
report that comes from London now as
aI1 inducement for us to go to war.
SOMEONE SPREADING LIES.
Two college professors and $50 cd
itors rushed to bat and declared war
on the face Of the London reports.
Some one is spreading lying reports
TO influence the United States into
declaring war"
Moore read newspaper headlines o,

that first reports were not supported
by facts.

TO STAMPEDE COUNTRY.
efforts have been made-desperate
efforts-since the president was here
Saturday, to prove that we must go
TO war. and the whole world seems to
have been raked to find some overt
act TO force the president to come here
now and ask us to declare war. We
have had very little basis for the ru-
mors. but we have had headlines ga
lore. all with view of stampeding the
house and the country into an act of
war.
II do not want the people of this
country deceived, am satisfied that
most of the people of the country want
peace-peace with honor. Of course"

sample Of what the whisky men are

Until recent years, at least. II was
the custom Of Milwaukee parents to
take their children into the various beer
gardens Of the Cream City and all
their little stomachs with 'suds.' The
high degree Of intelligence portrayed
In these beer faces would not have
brought forth envy on the part of Plato
or Homer. We recall the time when
the employees Of one Of the large MIL
waukee breweries threatened to strike
because their daily allowance Of beer
was to be cut from four gallons to two
gallons. II would thus be seen that
there must be something about beer
that perpetuates the thirst. But. at

brewers that beer Is a genuine tenn

standing In Michigan confessed to me
that time and time again he had killed

Stauffer. superintendent Of the Fox
River Valley Efficiency league. "The
common sense OF mankind rightly con-
dones the practice OF this man be-
cause he did the best he and the pro-
fession knew at the time; but the
time Of ignorance on this subject is
past"
Mr.. StaufYer sent an open letter to
the physicians In his state, asking this
question: knowing what you must
know OF the tragedy OF alcohol. how
can you for a single day lend the in
fluence Of your example to Its use as
beverage In your community. As a
result, Ill doctors willingly signed
for publication the following state
ment, which Is being circulated:
Eve positively condemn the use Of
oil alcoholic liquors, including beer
and wine, because. by their effect on
the germ plasm they curse the unborn

use has been proven to reduce the eff
