War With Austria Declared

The United States was formally declared
to be in state Of war with the imperial
Austro- Hungarian government at min
utes after O'Clock last Friday afternoon,
at which time President Wilson put his
name to the resolution passed by Congress
an hour or so before.
The almost unanimous action of both
Houses Of Congress shows how thoroughly
pacifism has been swept aside throughout
the United States and how solidly the
American people are back of their Presi-
dent in his determination to win the war
All Of the few in the Senate who voted
against the declaration of state Of war
with Germany supported the Austrian de-
claration except La Toilette. The Wiscon-
sin senator listened to the brief speeches
made and left the chamber just before the
vote was taken. Later he told the Senate
he was preparing an amendment, which il
il had been accepted, would have won his
vote; II rejected he would have voted
against the declaration.
II required hour and o minutes all told
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1917-12-14

to vote war against Austria in the Senate
Only four speeches and one 1-minute an
nouncement were made between the time
the resolution was called up and the roll
call commenced.
In the House the debate continued for
2 hours and 40minutes. Galleries in both
houses were well filled. but there was no
demonstration. The country knew that this
was the thing to do. Members and occu-
pants Of the galleries accepted the result
as the national course of events. Out of
a total Of 1854 votes cast in the House
only London, the New York socialist, voted
against it.
When the declaration against Germany
was acted upon last April there were so
representatives who voted in the negative.
