German newspapers approve Czernin's
sentiments that the entente can con-
clude honorable peace at any time and
that the central powers peace offer is

that departure Of American Ambas-

the central powers are ready at any
time to enter into any practical course
leading to an honorable and lasting
peace.

introduced a flat declaration of war
resolution, while on both sides of the
capitol work was done toward provid-

Few pacifists managed to obtain en-

senate or house. Congressman had
evidently taken precaution to prevent
possible pacifist demonstrations when
the war resolution comes up.
The closing of the galleries had ap-

dominant in the galleries.: great num-

Germany. This great section of the

spirit Neither is there any rampant

The trip was the longest Taft had
taken since leaving the presidency. He
started at Richmond, Va, winding up
at Kansas City, making approximately
40 fixed speeches.
"The people of the south and the
southwest feel that war is inevitable"
said Taft, "and they are willing to 60
into it to defend our rights. They feel,
as I do, that Germany has forced the
war upon US.
I'VE must not enter the war half
heartedly. We should consult the en-
tente as to how we can help them. I'm
less the war continues year we can
not have an army for the trenches,
but we can aid the allies with food,
supplies, money credit and the navy
in the suppression of submarines. We
should use our regular army and the
national guard for Mexico and home
defense, and institute without delay a
compulsory training system.
