ONLY LAF0LLETTE AND STONE FAIL TO
 CHEER PRESIDENT

PreSlQenL Teacneu the CdpltOl dDOuL $40. As his big motor swung around before the east front of the building two troops of the Second Regular cav airy on guard, sabers glittering under the arc lights, swept the plaza clear while hundreds of people cheered. He was taken immediately to the speak CTS room and then into the house chamber where the senators were just filing in. Six members of the SUI preme court who had taken seats in front of the speakers stand, stood and faced about.
 The President entered amid deafen- ing cheers. It was noticed that sen ators Lafollette, Stone and Cummins, who helped defeat the armed neutral ity bill in the last session, did not join in the applause. Senator Lafol- lette stood with arms crossed and head sunk over his chest. Senator Lane, another of the group applauded mildly and Senator Kenyon more viz orously.
 The Presidents voice was clear and grew stronger as he proceeded.
 It was very serious and quiet au- dience. Not until the President de clared, We will not choose the path of submission" did his auditors ap- plaud. Those words drew shouting and handclapping.
 Scarcely had the sounds of this demonstration died away when the President declared that the congress should declare state of war existed and a second demonstration began.
 Representative Caldwell of New York rose to his feet first and yelled; every one of the supreme court judg- es stood. Chief Justice White smiled and vigorously clapped his hands as did Justice Pitney and Clarke.
 By far the greatest outburst came when the President declared for an army of 500.O0O men selected on a un- iversal service basis Chief Justice White was one of those who joined most heartily in the hand clapping at this point, which lasted nearly min ute.
 Mention of the recent overthrow of the Russian monarchy brought loud cheers. Wave after wave of applause met the Presidents reference to Ger man spies infesting the country and his suggestion of a partnership Of democratic nations in the cause Of peace.
 Senator Stone, sitting in the secopd row, rested his head on his hands and listened with grim face.
 A particularly vociferous outburst greeted the declaration that If there should be disloyalty it would be dealt with with firm hands and stern re- pression."
 The most noticeable interruption came near the end when in the midst of a declaration that it was a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful peo- pie into war" MT Toilette cleared his throat twice sharply
 As the President finished every per son on the floor and in the galleries arose and shouted. Most of the sena- tors unfolded flags they wore in their upper outside coat pockets and waved them vigorously.
 Sepor Riano. the Spanish ambassa dor, Minister Havenith of Belgium and several other members of the dip lomatic corps occupied seats on the floor They were intensely interested in the address and the demonstration but gave no evidence Of their feeling.
 After the President had completed his address Senator Lodge shook his hand warmly and said:
 'Mr President, you have expressed in the loftiest manner possible the sentiments of the American people"
 The President went immediately to Speaker Clark's room and after brief talk with the members of the committee accompanying him return ed to the White House with members of his family and Colonel F.. NJ. House As he left the Capitol he was cheered enthusiastically and another crowd awaited him at the White House gate
