ut has pleased those who have been
conducting this campaign through the
press (for war; to make a tumble of
issues" Senator LaFollette continued,
until now it is impossible to get an
intelligent answer regarding the real
issues. They say Americans are being
killed by German submarines. We
haven't leg to stand on in support
of this war declaration"
That the United States did not pro-
test more vigorously against the Brit
ish mine field blockade was the adj
ator said, and the real and primary
cause of an American declaration.
Germany has been patient with us,
standing strictly on her rights to be
accorded the same treatment as Eng
land by u.s." he continued.

concluded he had been speak ~

Senator Williams of Missis- I'M

"The speech of the Wiscon- lW ,
sin senator would have bet " y

mann Hollweg than an American SEN
ator," said Senator Williams. "In
fact he has gone further than Herr
Won Bethmann-H ollweg would ever
have gone. Bethmann-Hollweg said
the use Of the submarines could be
justified only on the ground Of neces-
sity, the senator from Wisconsin puts
it on the same footing as Great Brit
aims interference with our commerce.
~ fully expected the senator from
Wisconsin before he took his seat to
defend the invasion Of Belgium, the
most barbarous act ever committed.
l heard from him speech that was
pro-German, pro-Goth, pro-vandal,
and which was anti-president, anti
congress and anti-American.
"While pronouncing a eulogy on the
German people it might have eulogiz-
ed very much greater, better and
more intelligent people-the Ameri-
can. His speech was exactly what
might have been delivered in the Ger
man reichstag by Bethmann-H ollweg,
if Bethmann-Hollweg had had the
audacity. But Bethmann- Hollweg had
too much sense, too much knowledge,
to make that speech"
At this point Senator La Toilette
left the chamber. but remained in the
cloak room a while within hearing dis
lance.
Continuing, Senator Williams said
he heard in Imagination the groans of
men, women and children sent to
watery graves by German submarines.
"But the senator from Wisconsin
hears none of them. The senator from
Wisconsin labored to establish an

FRANCE OFFERS U. S. A PORT.

France has offered the U. S. the
use of the Port Of Brest for American
naval forces. The Allies believe that
the U. S. will want to send troops to
the war zone and declare that an army
can be whipped into shape in six
months providing the war lasts that
long. Both Germany and England are
fighting with practically new armies
it is said, for England had no army
when the war broke out and Germany,
because her forces are largely made up
of classes called to the colors since
1914. The Allies hape that the U. S.
will specialize on aviation and mach
inc gun companies.

friday morning by vote of 373 to
SO.
Six U. S. Senators voted against
the Flood resolution, including LaFol-
lette, Gronna of North Dakota, Stone
of Missouri, Norris Of Nebraska, Lane
of Oregon and Vardaman of Missis-
sippi.
La Toilette spoke for three hours
against the resolution. He began his
speech by reading a letter to Represen-
tative Helgesen Of North Dakota,
from North Dakota woman, protest
ing in behalf of her son against the
slaughter of war. The Wisconsin SEN
ator was given close attention from
both the floor and the galleries, which
stirred with interest as he began what
promised to be the last address In op-
position to the resolution.
Senator LaFollette read sheaf Of
kilograms reporting "straw vote post
cards and polls in various commune
ties opposing war. He declared out
of $4,000 or 10000 letters and tele-
grams he had received regarding his
vote on the armed ship bill, from 80
to 80 per cent had approved his stand.
The senator's who opposed the armed
neutrality bill had been attacked and
"scurrilously libeled" in the newspa-
pers, he declared, contrary to the
spirit of fairness which has pervaded
the nation.
81 had supposed until recently" he
said, chat it was the duty of senator's
and representatives to vote and act
their convictions on questions coming
before them. Quite another doctrine
has been proposed by the newspapers
Of the country. 1t is the doctrine of
standing behind the president without
inquiry as to whether he is right or
wrong.
81 have never subscribed to that doc
trine and never shall. l have stood be-
hind him when I believed him right
and / shall continue to oppose him
when believe him wrong.
The poor who are called to

* clared dramatically, "have

Is (Along, when if we take this
step prices of necessaries will multi
ply and they will come to be taxed
double and again. The people will be
heard; they will have their day." \
The senator referred to the presi-
dents statement that Germany had
violated her submarine pledges, and
continued:
'Her promise, so called, was condi-
tional upon England's being brought
to obedience of international law. Was
it quite fair to lay before the country
the statement that Germany made an
unconditional promise and had DELHI
srately violated it?
UphOlds German Moves
at was England-not Germany, who
refused to obey the Declaration of
London, containing the most humane
ideas of naval warfare which could be
framed by the civilized world up to
that time. Keep that in mind.
eff this is war upon all mankind, is
it not peculiar that the United States
is the only nation of all the neutrals
which regards it necessary to declare
war upon Germany? All have refus-
ed to Join in a combination against
Germany. Some may have clearer
view than we. This suspicion of de-.
sire for war profits does not attach to
them"
It is idle, he declared, to talk Of q
war on the German government and
not on the German people.

HEAVIEST TRAFFIC ON ROADS

Roads upon which traffic is heaviest
start from. different sections or the

age terms, which every farmer VIII

are the main channels running through
the county or township. They start

natural laws of trade gravitation, and
as in drainage development, these traf-

economically only as their lines of de-

sILAGE IS GOOD FOR CALVES
Gradual Introduction Of Feed May Be
Begun When Animal Is About
Six Weeks Old.

By the time the calf is six weeks
old we may begin to feed silage, very
gradually at first, using care to see
that it is free from mold. In little
while the calf will be able to consume
quite a quantity of sflage and the
amount will increase as time advances.
The grain fed to the calf always should
depend in some degree upon the kind
of roughage consumed. There is no bet
ter roughage than alfalfa hay. 1t Is
easily digested. The leaves Of the al
falfa contain a principle indispensable
in the development Of the young AMI
mails and not present in other rough
age, but alfalfa hay alone is not good
for a calf. Taken in connection with
skim milk the ration is too narrow
that is to say, the amount of protein
as related to the carbohydrates and
fat is in excess of the demands of the
animal. This condition is corrected
by the feeding of silage and grain like
corn, rich in carbohydrates.
