DENOUNCING A MOB

New Orleans, Oct. 81, 1917.
The near-murder of the Rev
Herbert S. Bigelow by a Ken

every decent American ought to

brought to justice, if only to vim

stupid, cowardly mob should

to my mind, an outrage which

American civilization, to our in

Germany is practically making war
upon the United States on the seas.
This fact governed the president when
he issued early this week a hurry-up
call for congress to meet in extra ses-
sion on April 2, instead of two weeks
later as the call was first issued.
The purpose of the session is to
receive a communication from the
chief executive on grave questions
of national policy, which shall be TAX
en- Immediately under consideration.
The president in his address to con-
gress will detail how Germany practi-
cally has been making war on the
United States by the ruthless des-
truction Of American lives and ships
on the high seas in contravention of
all the laws of nations and humanity.
Congress then is expected to pass a
resolution declaring that a state of
war. has existed between the United
States and Germany for some time.
Such a resolution in itself, will not
be declaration of war in technical
sense, although, practically, it will
amount to the same thing. As a con-
sequence the United States will take
further steps to protect its interests
on the high seas and efsewhe4e againts'
the warlike acts of Germany, and
whether an actual state of war will
come to exist in its full sense will de-
pend upon the future acts OF the impe-
rial German government
The presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas public interest requires
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session at
II o'clock noon, on the second day of
April, 1917, to receive communica-
tion by the executive on grave ques-
tions of national policy which should
be taken Immediately under consider
alton.
'Now, therefore, |, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare that an extraordinary occasion
requires the congress of the United
States to convene in extra session at
the capital in the city of Washington
on the second day of April, 1917, at
II o'clock, noon, of which all persons
who shall be at that time entitled to
act as members thereof are hereby
required to take notice.
