war PROCLAMATION
Issued by President-News Of U. $.
Step Is Sent Over WOrld-Wil-
son Calls on All Citizens to
Manifest Their Loyalty
10 Nation.

Washington, April 6-The United
States today accepted Germany's
challenge to war and formally aban-
doned its place as the greatest neu-
trail of a world in arms.
President Wilson at 1:1S o'clock
Official time) this afternoon signed
the resolution of Congress declaring
the existence of state of war and
authorizing and directing the chief
executive to employ all the resources
Of the nation to prosecute hostilities
against the German government to a
successful termination.
The act was done without cere-
mony and only in the presence of
members of the Presidents family.
Word was flashed Immediately to all
army and navy stations and to YES
sells at sea, and orders for further
precautionary steps withheld until
the last moment were dispatched.
BY proclamation the President an
nounced the state of war, called upon
all citizens to manifest their loyalty
and assured Germans in this country
that they would be unmolested as
long as they behaved themselves.
Orders were issued soon afterward
for the arrest of sixty ringleaders in
German plots and intrigues.
Complete mobilization of the navy
calling all reserves and militia to the
colors. was ordered by Secretary
Daniels as soon as the war resolu-
ton was signed. The War Depart.
ment, already having taken virtually
every step contemplated before the
raising of a real war army is au.
thorized, waited on Congress. Secre.
tary Baker conferred with Chairman
Dent, OF the House Military Commit.
tee. and arranged to appear before
the committee tomorrow to discuss
the general staff army plans and con-
slider the war budget of more than
$4,000 100000.
The President went over all of the
great preparatory measures with the
cabinet, discussing what has been
accomplished and dwelling, it is I'M
derstood, upon arrangements for CO.
operation with the Entente Allies
against the common enemy. Plans
for cooperation are said to have taken
very defineite states, though there will
be no announcement on the subject
for the present.
Both Houses of Congress have ad-
journed over until Monday SO that
their committees may be free tomor-
row for preliminary work of war leg
islation.
Word that King George and Presi-
dent Poincaire had dispatched mes
sages of congratulation to the Presi-
dent was received unofficially. Only
unofficial information also came con-
corning the action of President Men
ocal, of Cuba, in recommending a de-
claration of war against Germany by
Cuba, and the growing sentiment for
war in Brazil.

NOT WHEELS IN HIS HEAD

MONDAY, Wnen Sam Thomas began
to white out little wind-mills, OF
toy weather vanes, and place them on
tobacco sticks stuck in the ground
In his side yard, the passing pedes-
TRANS on Market street stopped to
gaze and wonder. One after another
were placed in a group until there
were six "futter- mills" whirring
tunefully. People looked at one an
other and nodded their heads signif-
icantly, as If to intimate that Sam
had wheels in his head"
But their fears were allayed when
they were informed Of their purpose
They were made to place Ground TO-
bacco beds to keep moles away. The
whirring Of the fans and the slight
but distinct vibration of the ground
around them have the effect of fright
ening moles away from the immedi-
ate territory. 1t is said no mole will
stay near them.-Dover News.
